MULTAN, Pakistan — Gudakesh Motie and Jomel Warrican's brilliant all-round performances have earned West Indies a nine-run, first-innings lead against Pakistan as 20 wickets fell on the opening day of the second cricket test. Motie scored 55 and his first test half century lifted the tourists from a precarious 54-8 to 163 all out. The left-arm spinner then picked up 3-49 to skittle out the home team for 154 on another tricky turner at Multan Cricket Stadium. Motie's all-round show overshadowed Noman Ali's hat trick for Pakistan and 6-41 as Pakistan's batters fell in their own spin-pitch trap.
