Despite the win in the first Test, WI have lots of questions to answer. The batting order looks fragile with skipper Kraigg Brathwaite the only trusted batter. They will hope that someone from the middle order plays a big innings. They will be tested against high quality Pakistan attack. The fast bowling is their strength as Roach continues to show his worth. Jayden Seales has shown the ability to pick up wickets in his short career. Jason Holder too, has been excellent with the ball.
