Roston Chase scored his second century and Jason Holder his sixth half-century as West Indies dominated the evening session on the opening day of the second Test against Pakistan to reach 6-286 at stumps in Barbados.
On a batting-friendly wicket which exposed both the limits of Pakistan's four-man bowling attack, and the fragility of West Indies' top order, allrounder Chase was undefeated on 131 and Holder was 58 not out at Kensington Oval
Their seventh-wicket partnership is so far worth 132 runs.
Pakistan is chasing their first Test series win in the Caribbean after a seven-wicket victory in the first of three Tests.
Chase, who hit 63 and 16 not out in the first Test, looked confident throughout - although the second new ball tempted both batsmen into grabbing quick runs against the pacers at the risk of offering chances.
Earlier, West Indies won the toss, chose to bat and lost three wickets in both the morning and afternoon sessions - reaching 3-72 and 6-166 respectively.
