Pakistan turn the screw on Windies

Pakistan were well on top after day one of the first Test in Lahore after bowling out West Indies for 206 and then closing on 39 for one.

The hosts had lost the wicket of Imran Farhat, trapped lbw by Jerome Taylor for nine, but Mohammad Hafeez (11) and Younis Khan (10) were unbeaten at stumps with Pakistan having reduced the arrears to 167.

Pakistan paceman Umar Gul polished off the West Indies tail, finishing with figures of five for 65.

After Shahid Nazir and Danish Kaneria had made inroads into the top order to leave the Windies 122 for six at lunch, it was Gul who dominated the afternoon session.

He took all four wickets to fall and completed the job with the last ball before tea when he dismissed Fidel Edwards for two with the batsman edging to Shoaib Malik.

His first wicket was that of Brian Lara, who had led the resistance with seven fours in his 61 before edging to wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal.

Jerome Taylor was then trapped lbw for eight before Dave Mohammed (35) edged behind.

Edwards' departure left Corey Collymore unbeaten on one.
