Lunch Pakistan 230 (Shakeel 84, Rizwan 71, Seales 3-27) vs. West Indies

But the first ball after drinks brought joy to the West Indies. Sinclair lured Shakeel forward before grabbing it and taking his edge. As if it had been forgotten, the pitch suddenly started reminding everyone how hostile it could be to batsmen against quality spin as the ball hissed and spat off the surface. Salman Agha was deceived on the run from Warrican to pull out before Pakistan imploded. A bizarre mix-up between Rizwan and Noman Ali saw the wicketkeeper turn his back on Noman to let him try unsuccessfully to return to the non-striker’s end, before a reverse sweep off the next delivery ended his own innings, a sharp West Indian review ending Rizwan’s innings for 71.

It was only an entertaining stand from Sajid and Khurram that saw a few more runs flow for Pakistan before the innings petered out. Sajid launched Sinclair over the cow corner for six amid a light shower as Pakistan added 25 quickfire runs. But Warrican bounced back to end the innings, making short work of both as they took 6 wickets for 43 in a session of two halves.
