PAKISTAN SMELL SERIES-CLINCHING VICTORY OVER WI
ABU DHABI: Pakistan pressed West Indies hard for a seriesclinching win in the second Test after setting a daunting 456-run target on the fourth day in Abu Dhabi on Monday. By close of play Pakistan had taken four wickets at 171 leaving the West Indies to bat out the fifth and final day on Tuesday or score a further 285 runs with six wickets intact for an unlikely win. No team has ever chased down more than the 418-7 West Indies managed against Australia at Antigua 13 years ago and on a weary last day pitch they will need a huge effort to stop Pakistan from taking an unassailable 2-0 lead.
