After a dull first day, it was a stroke-filled and eventful second day at the Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium when Pakistan amassed a mammoth 493 and proceeded to turn the screws on the West Indies

Swashbuckling centuries from Younis Khan and Yousuf Youhana put the touring Pakistan team in a very comfortable position as they amassed 312 runs for the loss of only three wickets to declare their innings

Marcus Trescothick's heroic innings of 137 from only 142 balls, carried England to within three runs of victory in a breathtaking finish to their second clash with Pakistan in the NatWest series.But Pakistan held on to sentence England to a record

The failure of Yousuf Youhana in the two tour matches against British Universities and Derbyshire has understandably sent ripples of anxiety in Pakistan's tour management

After England's bowlers had given their side an excellent start to the final Test in Karachi, it was Pakistan's batsmen who gradually took over as the day progressed and by stumps, finished on a commanding 292 for three
