Jomel Warrican to Saud Shakeel
OUT! GONE FIRST BALL! What a start for the visitors. Flighted full and on middle, Shakeel chips it straight to short mid-wicket where Justin Greaves dives to his right and takes it. Perfect way for West Indies to start the day.

All set for action. The Windies players are out in the middle. Saud Shakeel and Kamran Ghulam are the overnight batters. Jomel Warrican to bowl first...

A total of 19 wickets fell on Day 2, most to fall on a day in Pakistan. This Test moved very quickly and as things stand, Pakistan are well ahead in this game. Masood’s fifty has extended their lead over 200 and the hosts will look to add a bit more before Sajid-Noman replicate what they did in the first innings. The duo ripped through the Windies line up and shared 9 wickets together. They bowled much better in a single session then the Windies spinners who lack discipline and have been giving a lot of freebies. Can West Indies somehow keep the lead close to 250 and give themselves a chance or the hosts will cruise through? Stay tuned to find out.

...Day 3, Session 1...
-
The lead has already crossed 200 and Pakistan still have 7 wickets in hand. They’ll try and extend it to over 300 and that will take some chasing on this wicket. West Indies need wickets and quickly if they are to have a chance of getting back in the game. Day 3 promises to be an exciting one. Join us at 4 am GMT and earlier for the build up. Till then, cheers!

In reply, Pakistan started brilliantly with the bat! Masood batted with intent and scored a quick half ton. The openers added 67 but then Pakistan lost three quickly. Ghulam and Shakeel though ensured the day ends without any more wickets falling.
-
Pakistan are well and truly in the driver’s seat! First, it was their spinners who ran through the West Indian batting line up and helped them gain a lead of over 90. Had it not been for the Windies' tail, they could have well conceded a lead of over 100. It was the Sajid-Noman duo yet again who came to the fore as they got 9 between them.
-
The light-meter is out. The umpires are taking the reading and feel it is not good enough. The players are waking off the field. That's STUMPS then!
