Babar reveals extent of Masood injury after West Indies loss

The loss left Pakistan rooted to the bottom of the World Test Championship standings and Babar suggested it was their top order that had let the side down. "We played good cricket in the last few days, but today we were not up to the mark as a batting unit," Babar said. "The surface is good and we expected the new ball to move for which we were prepared ... but I think they bowled very well and used the conditions nicely. "We’ll sit together and discuss these things because, while the result isn’t go our way, we can certainly address our mistakes. We’ll do our best to correct them and ensure we improve going forward."

Only Babar provided some brief resistance on Tuesday as Pakistan were skittled for just 120 in their second innings, with the experienced right-hander scoring his 32nd half-century in Tests only to run out of partners late as Jayden Seales (5/20) ran through the visitors' batting order.
