Lunch The West Indies 163 and 129 for 5 (Greaves 5*, novel 4-59) lead Pakistan 154 with 138 races

Abrar Ahmed also saw his second ball whipped through the midwick for four, but Mikyle Louis was neither so positive nor so comfortable. That’s how Pakistan came back in the game and pulled him into a product against the off -side, Shan Masood took a straightforward catch on short extra cover.

Brathwaite escaped novel for six over a long time, but found himself slower as he approached his half -century. Jangoo, however, drove nicely along, and as he helped himself to two boundaries from Abrar in one over, West Indies’ lead approached three characters.

But Pakistan’s spinners brought them back into the game. Brathwaite survived two raised fingers from consecutive deliveries with successful reviews, but fell in the next as he tried to charge novel and ended up beating extra turns. It was a way of dismissing almost identical to the one who would snare Kavem Hodge in minutes before lunch. Meanwhile, Sajid also entered the game. He had dismissed Jangoo shortly after Brathwaite walked the walkabout and forced the problem of a sweep as he seemed to have wrongly rated the flight and tone of the delivery. It ended up taking a feather from the bottom of the bat to slip, and the West Indies had two new fighters at the crisis.

The final over before lunch saw Pakistan hit a fifth time, novel landed the ball in the foot marks and ripped it back in the pillows. An enthusiastic appeal – partly needed because Pakistan has burned all three reviews – was successful, and although the West Indies may still have the upper hand, their position is not nearby as indispensable as it could have been an hour earlier.
