West Indies have won the toss and decided to bat first in Multan. The pitch conditions are favourable, with the fog from the first Test having disappeared. The pitch preparation remains the same as the first match, with visible cracks that will facilitate turn. As the match progresses, the surface will become drier, providing spinners with opportunities to exploit the angles and generate grip and turn. Batters will face a challenging task on this pitch.
