- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR25.5 Can you believe it? Aamer Jamal gets a wicket in his first over back into the Test side. He banged that one into the pitch outside off and Chanderpaul, covering his offstump, prods at that one. It goes to Salman Ali Agha at the second slip after taking the leading edge. A fraction of the seam movement away from Chanderpaul after hitting the deck. 64/28.2 Chopped on! It was on length outside off and King wanted to drive it through the square but the ball rocked his stumps after taking the inside edge of his bat. Abbas lets out a big smile. Pakistanis swarm him. 13/169.1 Shahzad's persistence with the fifth stump line pays off. Length ball, asking Hodge to prod at it and the batter accepts the invitation. A leading edge flies to Salman Ali Agha at the second slip and he takes the catch comfortably. Pakistan off to the desired start. 197/436.3 Abbas spins around for an lbw appeal. He thinks he has Jangoo. Rizwan also seems confident. Babar thinks and calls for a review of the on-field not-out decision. Was this slipping down leg? Good length, Abbas brings another one back into Jangoo who plays around his front pad and is beaten. UltraEdge doesn't detect a spike. Flat line as ball passes the bat. Ball-tracking indicates it would have crashed into leg stump. Three reds. Successful review for Pakistan. Jangoo has to depart for 21 106/398.3 Ali spins around for an lbw appeal and lets out a big roar! But he has to pause his celebration now. Hope calls for a review of the on-field out decision. Full nip-backer, decks back and beats the inside edge. Thuds into the front pad below the knee-roll. Height isn't an issue. No bat involved. This looks pretty close. Ball-tracking indicates that it would crash into leg stump. Three reds and Hope has to go. He falls agonisingly short of a hundred 311/978.6 Ali follows the inducker with one that seams away. The outside edge is held at second slip. Reward for Ali. Perfectly pitched delivery from Ali. Wide on the crease, nice and full, angling in at off. He tricks Greaves into prodding at the inward angle, but the ball leaves him late to kiss the outside edge. Agha pouches it at second slip after diving forward and then across to his left 231/585.6 Abbas finds the outside edge. Rizwan does the rest. He isn't standing up to the stumps in this over. Tighter line and length from Abbas. Good length, angling in towards off, and leaves Chase late. Abbas hits the outside edge near the shoulder of the bat, thanks to the late away movement and some extra bounce to boot. Simple catch for the keeper 257/692.5 Banged short on off and Babar takes the catch! Pushed Roach on the backfoot with a rising ball. He looked to prod at it but ended up edging it to the slip. Second wicket for Shahzad. 274/796.2 Joseph has been bounced out second ball after lunch! Lifter from over the wicket, gets big on Joseph and cramps the batter for room. Joseph goes for the pull but it comes out as a weak flap which pops up into the hands of Agha at wide slip off the glove 304/898.5 Ali storms through the defences of Seales and wraps up WI's innings. Ali comes away with a four-for. Nice and full, nips back in against the angle from over the wicket and strikes the top of off after bursting through the bat-pad gap. Ali leaps for joy. Babar is pleased as punch 311/10Extras29 (b 10, lb 6, nb 10, w 3)TOTAL311 all out (98.5 Overs, RR: 3.14, 492 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Brandon King, 8.2 ov), 2-64 (Tagenarine Chanderpaul, 25.5 ov), 3-106 (Amir Jangoo, 36.3 ov), 4-197 (Kavem Hodge, 69.1 ov), 5-231 (Justin Greaves, 78.6 ov), 6-257 (Roston Chase, 85.6 ov), 7-274 (Kemar Roach, 92.5 ov), 8-304 (Shamar Joseph, 96.2 ov), 9-311 (Shai Hope, 98.3 ov), 10-311 (Jayden Seales, 98.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 This is a Roach special! Test wicket No. 301 for Roach. Bursts through the defences of Awais and makes it look ridiculously easy. After getting the previous ball to move away from Awais, Roach brings this one back into the left-handed opener and finds a way through the gate. Roach pings the top of middle. Pakistan find themselves at 1 for 1 1/133.3 Edged and brilliantly taken by Greaves at wide first slip! Drew him into a drive with the length ball outside off and Imam went for it. It was a thick edge and was flying to the left of Greaves but he reverse cups it. Wobble seam, seamed away after hitting the deck. 156/263.6 make that two in two! West Indies are on a rampage or what. Masood goes driving, but this isn't all that full, he plays down the wrong line to get an inside edge back onto the stumps. Full credit to Greaves for the length. Not too full, not length, that in-between stuff. The seam position too was impeccable and the set Masood is gone. 244/545.6 Edge and taken by Hope! Curves it enough to take the leading edge of Babar's bat who is pinned on the back foot with the short of the length delivery. There is relief on his face. Peach of a delivery 197/362.6 An absolute ripper to send his offstump cartwheeling. Bangs it on length and gets it to seam marginally away from Agha who is squared up. 244/469.4 gets a big edge and the keeper obliges, make that four in four overs! Rizwan goes wafting at a delivery with enough width but fails to account for the zip off the pitch. Poor stroke one must say. Pakistan in real trouble and in danger of conceding the advantage in 30 minutes of madness. 259/865.2 right through his defence as Jamal plays all around this, the middle stump is sent flying! Greaves goes full, attacking the stumps in search of late swing, Jamal's feet glued to the crease as he plays all around the full delivery with the ball sneaking through the gap to crash into the stumps. 248/667.3 massive appeal for lbw and given! Greaves didn't even bother looking back to ask the umpire. This is touch fuller, just outside off, the ball hits the seam and decks back in a hit to beat the inside edge and hit in on the front pad. Given out on the field, but Rizwan asks his partner to go for the review in the hope that the impact may have been outside off. But that is very optimistic. Ball tracking confirms the ball would've smashed middle. 256/780.1 It pays dividends right away. Shahzad looks to launch it down the ground but ends up edging it to Hope who takes a brilliant catch reaching wide to his right. Pitched on length on off. 282/1071.6 That's five-fer - his first in Test cricket. Back of the length ball outside off and Abbas prods at it. It takes the leading edge of his bat and Hope crouches to pluck the dying ball. The on-field umpires want to confirm with the third umpire whether it was caught cleanly, and it was. His terrific bowling spell continues.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR27.5 It is in the air and held safely by Usman Ali at square leg. Jamal bangs it short and Chanderpaul top-edges it as he looks to drag the ball wide outside off to the onside. Passionate fist pump from Jamal who has not had a very good Test so far 80/54.1 is there a tickle? Yes, Rizwan takes a good low catch too and Pakistan have struck early. The only real doubt for the umpire was if it carried, which it has. King has to go. Abbas gets him for the second time in the match. Excellent from Abbas to draw King forward with the length on that occasion. 7/14.4 that is a trademark Abbas wicket! Pakistan are buoyant once again. Abbas bowls a pearler outside off, forces Hodge to play at that and he ends up getting a faint edge that Rizwan accepts gleefully. This Test is rattling along very quickly. 7/213.1 that is an outstanding catch back on his followthrough! Jangoo check-pushed this as the ball appeared to stop on him, the bowler had to lunge forward and Ali ensures his hands are properly underneath the ball as he plucks it out inches from the ground. 28/316.2 And Shahzad has his revenge and he gives Hope a send off. It nips a fraction into him after pitching on length on off and smacks into his middle stump. Poor choice of shot from Hope as he looked to launch it somewhere over long on but was beaten comprehensively. 43/432.5 he has prised out the big wicket! And it's a super catch at extra cover by the skipper. He bowls from wide of the crease, angles it full and has Greaves driving on the up. This was struck well, but superbly intercepted by Babar diving to his left. 85/638.2 that is a wicket really well deserved! They kept probing away outside off, and have been finally rewarded with a nick. Chase goes driving but this one leaves him just about enough to take the edge as Rizwan takes the catch. 93/7Extras17 (b 4, lb 6, nb 6, w 1)TOTAL126/7 (43 Overs, RR: 2.93)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Brandon King, 4.1 ov), 2-7 (Kavem Hodge, 4.4 ov), 3-28 (Amir Jangoo, 13.1 ov), 4-43 (Shai Hope, 16.2 ov), 5-80 (Tagenarine Chanderpaul, 27.5 ov), 6-85 (Justin Greaves, 32.5 ov), 7-93 (Roston Chase, 38.2 ov)
