8.48 pm: A competitive total for West Indies but how will the dew affect their bowlers? It was already in evidence during the closing stages of the first innings. West Indies smashed 78 runs in the six-over period from No.4 to No.9, but either side of that Evin Lewis-driven smash and grab, they struggled to force the pace. Lewis made 68 off 41, and Pollard hung around scratchily but finished well to end on 32* off 22, but no other batsman could get on top of the bowling. Gulbadin Naib was the pick of the bowlers. He showed off a variety of slower balls, bowled differently, and didn't let the West Indies batsmen get a handle on him. We'll be back for the chase shortly.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Pollard, FOUR, fuller and wider and smashes passed the diving mid-off. West Indies finish with a six and a four off the last two balls

Naveen-ul-Haq to Pollard, SIX, slower bouncer outside off, but Pollard moves across and tonks it way over deep midwicket for a six
19.4
2
Naveen-ul-Haq to Pollard, 2 runs, a low full toss on the pads from around the wicket, Pollard flicks it towards deep midwicket and hares back for the second. The throw is a bit wide, the keeper gathers and flicks but misses the stumps

Naveen-ul-Haq to Allen, 1 run, length ball around off, smashes it but straight towards the extra cover fielder
19.2

Naveen-ul-Haq to Pollard, 1 run, short ball, slower again, he pulls to square leg. Bowler and batsmen are having a lot of mutterings to each other, covering their mouths too.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Pollard, no run, going across him, took the pace off. Pollard had cleared his leg and was almost front on, wanted to really whack that. Doesn't connect

2
Gulbadin Naib to Allen, 2 runs, slower ball and he mis-times it, goes in the air but lands short of deep midwicket. Was clearing his leg to give himself room but Naib has had some wonderful changes of pace that no West Indies batsman has mastered. Ends a fine spell
18.5
1
Gulbadin Naib to Pollard, 1 run, slower ball again outside off this time. Better connection but straight to long-off
18.4
2
Gulbadin Naib to Pollard, 2 runs, throws his bat at it again, trying to pull it through midwicket. Ends up getting it off the toe end and straighter. The dew is evident in how Afghanistan are sliding to stop the ball
18.3
2
Gulbadin Naib to Pollard, 2 runs, slower ball on the stumps, Pollard's too early into the drive and mis-times it totally. Goes off the inside half but very straight and in no man's land. Long on runs around and fields
18.2
1
Gulbadin Naib to Allen, 1 run, throws the kitchen sink at that one, similar line and length well outside off but he goes towards the ball that time and gets a goodish bit on it. One bounce to deep point
18.1
0
Gulbadin Naib to Allen, no run, well bowled, slower and well wide of off. He ends up off-balance while trying to smash it through the offside. Doesn't connect. That came out of the back of the hand

Naveen-ul-Haq to Allen, 1 run, length on the stumps, clipped through midwicket

oooh and Naveen pulls out of his run-up and looks at Pollard, who might have just been wandering out of hi crease. Doesn't go for the Mankad though. Pollard not amused (though Naveen did nothing wrong) and covers his mouth with his glove while muttering sweet nothings.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Allen, no run, slower ball now, angling into him, and Allen not able to read it, ends up pushing to cover

Naveen-ul-Haq to Allen, 1 wide, too far outside off and he'll have to rebowl that

Naveen-ul-Haq to Allen, no run, pacy one, length outside off, and Allen is late on the attempted cut

Naveen-ul-Haq to Rutherford, OUT, got 'im!. Saw the batsman giving him the charged and bowled the offcutter, while also pulling his length back. The ball sneaks into the rather large gap left with Rutherford attempting to swing for the fences, and knocks over the stumps

Naveen-ul-Haq to Pollard, 1 run, bowls the bouncer quicker that time, but Pollard is equal to it and pulls to deep midwicket. There's a fielder there to clean up

Naveen-ul-Haq to Pollard, FOUR, tried to dig it into the pitch but it just sat up and Pollard waited for it and whacked it powerfully to the deep square leg boundary
