Darren Bravo cracked a fighting century to lead West Indies' fight against Pakistan on the fifth and final day in the first day-night Test in Dubai on Monday.
The left-handed genius was unbeaten on 102 for his eighth hundred — fifth in Asia and seven away from home — as West Indies were 232-6 at dinner on a weary final day pitch at Dubai stadium.
Pakistan had taken the second new ball with West Indies 224-6 and Bravo needing four for hundred. Bravo smashed an uppish drive off paceman Mohammad Amir's first ball to backward point boundary to complete his magnificent hundred after 329-minutes of defiance.
He has so far hit nine boundaries and a six to frustrate Pakistan who are looking for a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Skipper Jason Holder was unbeaten on eight as West Indies till need 114 runs for an unlikely win in the remaining 38 overs.
Bravo put up his best resistance during a 77-run stand for the fifth wicket with Roston Chase (35) and has so far added 38 for the seventh with Holder.
Earlier, leg-spinner Devendar Bishoo took a career best 8-49 to dismiss Pakistan for a paltry 123 in their second innings on a day when 16 wickets fell.
Meanwhile, Yasir Shah took 5-121 to dismiss West Indies for 357 in their first innings, also becoming the second-joint fastest to complete 100 wickets in Test cricket.
Pakistan, who scored 579-3 declared, took a first innings lead of 222 runs in the pink-ball day-night Test.
