- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.5 Oh Chanderpaul, what have you done? Ali bangs it short on leg with Sajid Khan at deep fine leg. He swivels and pulls it right into his hands. Sajid signals that he could not watch the ball clearly, but ended up doing a pretty good job by plucking it safely from in front of him 49/116.4 That's a big shout for LBW and it looks close. King plays all around the ball which turned sharply away from the leg stump. The umpire turns it down but there was no bat involved. Sent upstairs. Yep! Nothing on the snicko meter. They are loading the ball-tracking. Pitches in line. Impacts in line. Wickets hitting. And it is smashing right in the middle stump. That's a huge, huge wicket for Pakistan, and this is the first ever Test wicket for Ali Usman. 65/225.4 Over the wicket. Big appeal for caught behind. The umpire turns it down. It turned sharply down the leg from out of the off stump. Hodge crouched to drag this length ball to fine leg with a paddle sweep but did not make a clean connection. It comes off his forearm and Rizwan collects it down the leg. Babar has reviewed this one. Tension builidng around the stadium. It has kissed his glove on its way to his forearm and Rizwan has taken a terrific catch down the leg side. Brilliant work behind the stumps and Pakistan get the third. Hodge had started to walk back as soon as he saw disturbance on the snicko when the ball passed his gloves. 91/335.1 Well now then, that's one to get your first Test wicket... Jangoo has batted so well here, but for some reason he goes searching for the nudge on this ball sliding down leg, off a good length. The keeper dives to his right and snares this, no mistakes 120/450.4 Rips this one through Hopes' defences! Lands it on a length outside off and Hope hangs his bat away from his body to defend it. It takes the inside edge and smashes into the top of his off stump. Ali is delighted as he brings a 53-run partnership to an end. 173/582.1 and it provides a wicket straight away. A little careless from Greaves, hitting out against a brand new ball from the end where the turn has been noticeably greater. Because he isn't to the pitch of this good length delivery, he tries to compensate by breaking his wrists and bringing in some power. But the turn and bounce takes the outside edge and settles in point's hands. Chase watching it all happen from the non-striker's throws his head back in disappointment 269/694.1 Penetrates his defences! Length ball jags in from outside the off stump and it kisses his back thigh on its way to rattle the stumps. It goes through the gap between his bat and pad 304/799.5 Back around the wicket and there is a big appeal for LBW and it is given! Brings it into Roach from length on off and it smashes into his front pad as he looks to defend the ball. It seems to have hit his front leg in front of the middle stump and Roach has reviewed it straightaway. There is no bat involved and Sajid is smiling as he looks at the big screen. Yes, all three reds and Pakistan celebrate. West Indies nine down now! 326/997.6 And he comes down the track and defends it back into Sajid's hands! Went flatter from around the wicket and Shamar danced down the wicket to work it into the leg side but ended up playing it back to Sajid from the outter part of his bat. Sajid with his traditional Kabbadi celebrations 323/8105.4 that's out. No doubts there. Four wickets for Sajid and he celebrates it with a little slap of his thigh, other hand raised up high. Seales lunging forward has to brave the danger of a turning and bouncing off break because he has no hope of reaching the pitch of it. The ball lobs off the shoulder of the bat and goes to the left of gully, who takes a simple catch. 344/10Extras35 (b 12, lb 21, w 2)TOTAL344 all out (105.4 Overs, RR: 3.25, 450 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-49 (Tagenarine Chanderpaul, 9.5 ov), 2-65 (Brandon King, 16.4 ov), 3-91 (Kavem Hodge, 25.4 ov), 4-120 (Amir Jangoo, 35.1 ov), 5-173 (Shai Hope, 50.4 ov), 6-269 (Justin Greaves, 82.1 ov), 7-304 (Roston Chase, 94.1 ov), 8-323 (Shamar Joseph, 97.6 ov), 9-326 (Kemar Roach, 99.5 ov), 10-344 (Jayden Seales, 105.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR20.5 Misses the sweep shot and the ball hits his front pad right in front of stumps after pitching on length in the off stump line. Warrican turns around and appeals but the umpire has turned it down. Chase has sent it up right away. It turned fractionally into Azan and there might be a case of it going down the leg. The umpires are checking whether it has made any contact with his bat or gloves before going on to hit his pad. Nothing there. It would have gone on to hit right in the middle of the leg stump, the ball-tracker says. That's a big wicket for West Indies. Azan falls after a brilliantly constructed 55. 98/27.3 surprise bounce. simple catch. The speed gun says it's 133 kph. But Imam is off his feet. And recoiling. The around the wicket line forces him to play at the short ball and he is nowhere near ready to deal with the venom it has secured. Pops straight up off the shoulder of the bat and settles in the hands of gully 34/1Extras4 (lb 1, nb 3)TOTAL266/2 (66 Overs, RR: 4.03)Fall of wickets: 1-34 (Imam-ul-Haq, 7.3 ov), 2-98 (Azan Awais, 20.5 ov)
