It took him 348 minutes of hard graft and Included only five boundaries. Baichan and Clive Lloyd, the West Indian captain, shared a match saving fourth wicket stand of 164 after the rival captain, Intlkhsb Alam, briefly raised Pakistan's hopes by taking two wickets In the first over after lunch. Lloyd, lashing out to try to reach his century before stumps were drawn, was caught for 83 made in 219 minutes. The West Indians were unhappy about the number of lbw decisions by the umpires, Shakoor Rana and Amanullah, both officiating in their first Test- The umpires gave 10 lbw verdicts seven against the West; Indies.

Baichan, who showed a llml-. ted range of scoring strokes, had most of the strike in bis stand with Lloyd, and was frequently frustrated as Sarfraz bowled three or four bouncers an oyer.

The West Indies, with an hour to go, still needed 134 for victory, and gave up with nine of the regulation 15 overs bowled soon after Lloyd was out Lloyd; in a hurry to reach his eighth Test century, took a swipe at Aslf Masood. and the wlcketkeeper dived Over in front of first slip to hold a fine catch.
