West Indies choose bat and Amir Jangoo take his debut cap & Kashif Ali receives maiden Pakistan cap
West Indies have won the throw and will bat first in Multan. This the second Test between the sides, with Pakistan having won the first. West Indies chief Kraigg Brathwaite had little delay on what previously seemed a fragile surface, with each side recognizing they would rather not bat last.
While the throw for the principal Test was postponed four hours by hazy circumstances last week, it is much more clear and sunnier in Multan now. West Indies have rolled out two improvements to their side. A niggle in his leg meanst Jayden Seales passes up a major opportunity, with Kemar Bug, who was inaccessible for the principal Test with disease, coming into the side. Wicketkeeper-hitter Amir Jangoo comes in to make his presentation with Keacy Carty dropping to the seat.
Pakistan get the opportunity to get consecutive home series wins without precedent for almost four years. They made only the one change, giving a presentation to quick bowler Kashif Ali. Khurram Shahzad, who conveyed only one over in the primary Test, sits out.
