7.55pm West Indies will chase 287 in 49 overs. Certainly much better than chasing 283 in 44 overs, had the DL method come into the picture after a long delay because of floodlight failure. That West Indies picked up three wickers since the sides returned from the break has helped them pull things back. The star of the show for Pakistan was Babar Azam, who struck his maiden ODI century to help overcome a top order wobble. Join us in 10 minutes for the chase. Akshay will take you through for the first hour or so.

CR Brathwaite to Hasan Ali, 1 run, squeezed back down the ground, Carlos dives to his left to stop that, but his failure to transfer the ball from left to right before firing a throw cost him some time in his quest to effect a run-out at the striker's end, saved a run though

CR Brathwaite to Mohammad Nawaz, OUT, good strike, but straight down the throat of the captain at deep midwicket. Slowed it down nicely as he saw the batsman trying to wind up, he went through with the swing and holed out to the lone ban in the boundary. Quit a comeback this has been by West Indies after the break. And to think of it, they weren't keen to come out and play because of ongoing issues with the floodlights

Gabriel to Mohammad Nawaz, SIX, he's hit that into Abu Dhabi. Wow, what a hit! This was a length ball on middle, he cleared his front leg and swung across the line to clear long-on with minimum fuss. The free swing of the bat did the trick, the ball made a lovely sound as it flew off the blade.

CR Brathwaite to Wahab Riaz, OUT, hits the stumps direct at the non-striker's end as Wahab looks to scamper a leg-bye. But the bat gets stuck into the crease just as he plonks it in. At the same point, it also slips out of his hand and Wahab's foot is in the air as the bails come off. Third umpire has been called for, and he's made the right decision. Carlos missed a run-out chance earlier, but has somewhat made up for it with this super throw. Poor from Wahab, no excuses for not grounding his bat properly, he had all the time in the world to sort that in the nick of time
Wahab Riaz run out 0 (3m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

CR Brathwaite to Imad Wasim, OUT, full, slow and straight on middle, he went for a biff across the line but was through with the stroke even before the ball got to him. By the time the bat came down, the ball had already hit the middle of middle stump. Imad Wasim has been dismissed, finally. That can put an end to all talks of his average for the time being. Excellent ball from Carlos. As angry and annoyed as West Indies have been since coming back onto the field, they've been that much more intense in their effort on the field too.

Gabriel to Mohammad Nawaz, no run, goes for another pull, but can't get it up and over Narine at midwicket. He was cramped for room as well, so couldn't time it as well as he would have liked. The bat face turned in his hand too

Gabriel to Imad Wasim, 1 run, poor delivery, drifting down leg, whipped off his hip to deep fine leg. That was bowled at 144 clicks
