5.37pm An unbeaten 33-run stand between Roach and Shamar Joseph has swelled West Indies' lead past 150 on a surface that has already begun to show signs of variable bounce. As many as 14 wickets fell today, and it's really hard to say which camp would be the happier one.

In the afternoon, Justin Greaves produced a career-best five-fer to tear through Pakistan's lower order. After the first hour and a half of the day was taken up by Masood and Agha cautiously edging towards 250, the floodgates opened when Roach knocked Agha's stumps back with a lovely delivery that seamed away. Greaves got Masood to chop on in the following over, and under sustained pressure from him, Pakistan's lower order fell apart.

But they haven't let the collapse define the Test. Abbas and Ali then struck back to cut West Indies to size, giving themselves more than a chance of pulling off a sensational win. A lot of work still remains but if today was any indication, we should be in for a thrilling Day 4.

Umar Gul, Pakistan's bowling coach is besides the boundary for a flash interview. "In the first innings, on the first day, we couldn't execute our plans. We were a touch short, but on second and third day, the plan was to pitch it up and it worked very well. Abbas is a senior bowler, played a lot of red-ball cricket and is leading from the front. It's good for us that we have an experienced bowler like him. We were expecting Shamar to score some runs, sometimes if you have four fielders on the on side and he hits it over the fielder, it's fine. We'll discuss how to get him out."

Aamer Jamal to Joseph, no run, dropped by a leaping Rizwan behind the stumps! Got to say that was catchable, he tried to recover and grab it in the second attempt. But missed it. He used all his height to leap and went one-handed for the catch. The ball popped up but he couldn't hold on.

Aamer Jamal to Joseph, SIX, nailed, absolutely nailed. Flatter, harder, further! Another short ball angling away, Shamar stays inside the crease and swings through the line to hammer that up and over deep midwicket. Lead crosses 150

Four fielders back on the rope for the big hit, and he still went for it

Aamer Jamal to Joseph, SIX, that has been hammered in front of square! Cleared his front leg and went boom, clears deep midwicket. Second six for Shamar

Jamal had the ball in hand even before Shahzad could take his cap from the umpire. Pakistan want to get in at least 3 overs here. We have 7 minutes on the clock tonight
