In October Pakistan ended their 12-match winless home run with a victory against England on a wicket prepared to let spin bowling dominate. In leaving out most of their pace bowlers from their squad for this series, Pakistan have signalled that they will be aiming to repeat this tactic against a frail West Indies batting line up.

This is the start of a two-Test series, the final rubber for both sides in this World Test Championship cycle. West Indies have only won two of their 11 matches so far in it, and lie 9th in the nine-team table. Pakistan are 8th.

West Indies coach Andre Coley, in what will be his final series before Daren Sammy takes over, says: “We've been able to keep ourselves in test matches on the back of our bowling. It's time the batsmen, having been given certain opportunities to test their skills, now learn and translate those into performances.”
