Pakistan v West Indies - 3rd Test: Day Two
Roston Chase already has three hundreds in 10 Tests

The latest find among a bunch of passionate, young cricketers from the Caribbean, Chase has found considerable success in a career still in its nascent stages. Amidst the absence of the more recognised players from the squad, Chase has started off admirably at number six in the batting order besides notably contributing with his off-spin.

An orthodox technique and a clean footwork has brought three hundreds in ten matches in the longer format already, one of which was a valiant effort to save the game against India at Sabina Park in 2016.

That was a match which also included a first five-wicket haul by Chase, as he replicated three of his countrymen, including the great Sir Garfield Sobers, in scoring a hundred as well as picking up five scalps in an innings in the same Test.

Twin centuries against the visiting Pakistan team comprising the likes of Mohammad Amir and Yasir Shah this year cemented his spot in the team – he got 403 runs at an average of 100.75 – and a warning to the opposition bowlers was laid out in the form of some helpful match practice for this series when Chase hit 81 and 50* against Sussex before following that up with 110* and 60* against Derbyshire.
