An earthquake of magnitude 7 struck Jamaica on August 14, where Pakistan and West Indies are currently participating in the Test series.

According to a press release by the Pakistan Cricket Board, all players in the squad, as well as the members of support staff, were safe.

Day three of the first Test between the two sides will start as per schedule.

West Indies, in reply to Pakistan’s first innings total of 217, are currently 251/8 with a lead of 38 runs.

Pakistan is scheduled to play two Tests matches against West Indies.

On the second day of the first test match — the ongoing match between the two sides — West Indian skipper Kraigg Brathwaite’s 97 helped the hosts take lead against Pakistan on the second day of the first Test played at Sabina Park on Friday.

With support from former skipper Jason Holder (58) in a pivotal sixth-wicket partnership of 96, the home side rallied from the discomfort of 100 for five to 251 for eight at stumps, a lead of 34 runs with two wickets in hand going into the third day.

Starting the morning with his team already in trouble at two for two, replying to the tourists’ first day total of 217, Brathwaite played his favourite sheet-anchor role to perfection.
