Sajid Khan and Noman Ali take nine wickets to bundle out West Indies for 137Spinners Sajid Khan and Noman Ali made hay with the new ball in Multan, taking nine wickets between them to bundle out West Indies for 137 before captain Shan Masood's second-innings fifty helped Pakistan to build a 202-run lead on the second day of the first Test on Saturday. Ali's five-wicket haul followed Khan's destructive spell through the visitors' top order, with the off-spinner taking four wickets in his first three overs to leave West Indies struggling at 22-4. Pakistan used spinners from the start after West Indies spinners Kevin Sinclair and Jomel Warrican claimed five scalps earlier in the day, with the hosts losing six wickets within 12 overs to finish their first innings on 230. I was going for wickets early on, which is why I conceded some runs," Khan, who allowed 65 runs in his 12 overs, told reporters. Seales, who hit three sixes on his way to 22, was the joint second-highest contributor to the innings along with extras.
