Kemar Roach was seen clamping his groin after he fell to the ground, and he was physically attended immediately. Although it was a stunning catch, its availability will be crucial for the chances of West Indies, because he is a lone specialist sailor for his team in this match.
The catch was important for West Indies because he interrupted the threatening partnership between Vice President Saud Shakeel and Captain Mohammad Rizwan. Shakeel and Rizwan collected 68 fifth Wickket running, which helped Pakistan’s inings to get back on the road.
West Indies take over the first inserts
