KINGSTON (Reuters) - West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite fell agonisingly short of a century but still steered his side to a 34-run lead over Pakistan before bad light brought a premature end to play on the second day of the first test on Friday.

Brathwaite was run out for 97 shortly before the close as the hosts finished the day on 251 runs for eight wickets in their first innings, having resumed on their overnight score of 2-2.
