DUBAI: 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.
