    0.3 caught in the slips. Kemar Roach strikes in the first over. Back of a length outside off, straightens a touch off the seam and Abid is still not moving his feet fluently since it's the first over, has a bit of a poke at it, and Blackwood takes a nice catch, low to his left at third slip 2/1
    3.5 appeal for caught behind not given and they've reviewed it. Very similar to the previous ball, it certainly went close to the outside edge as he was coming on the front foot to defend. And there's a clear spike on Ultra Edge. The West Indians had gone up in appeal immediately and for good reason. They knew there was a feather of an edge. Pakistan in a deep hole now, and Seales has joined Roach in the wickets column. 2/3
    2.3 this time Joshua dives to his right and snags a catch. Roach has found the outside edge again. Similar to his first wicket, but this was bowled on a full length outside off, straightens and Azhar is looking to defend, the ball takes the edge and goes to the keeper's right. He dives low and slightly to his front to latch on to it. 2/2
    60.4 gets the edge this time and it's an excellent catch at second slip from Holder! They're going to go upstairs though to check if the low catch was clean. The soft signal is out. The slow motion replays show Holder got his hands under the ball just in time, it's the end of Babar Azam today. Excellent delivery to get rid of him: pithing just outside off to tempt the batter forward, draws the outside edge and Holder goes low and to his left to pluck it 168/4

    91.1 given out lbw and Rizwan reviews immediately. My first thoughts: it'll come back as umpire's call. Yes, it does. The ball pitched outside off, nipped back in off a length to hit him high on the pad as Rizwan played around this. Ball tracking shows this would've clipped the top of leg stump. 231/6
    83.6 trapped him in front but Ashraf will review. This was superbly bowled. He had been angling it across, got this one to hold its line on a good length, and Ashraf left a big gap between bat and pad as he looked to punch. Looks like he's dead in front to me. And it's three reds. That was smashing into off stump. Seales has broken through. 218/5
    91.2 brilliant from Holder, outstanding from Da Silva! It's a lifter from Holder, Nauman is caught by surprise as he fends this one, the ball flicks the edge through to the keeper, who dives full stretch to his left to complete an excellent catch. Pakistan in collapse mode now. 231/7
    100.4 mix up and Hassan Ali iis run out. length ball outside off, stays beside it, opens the face and steers it through backward point. Fawad started for the second, so Hassan turned and was charging down. There was no second there so Fawad stops, but by then Hassan has no scope of getting back. A wicket when West Indies had just started to look a bit flat, and it's gifted via a run out. Smart fielding by Bonner, who ran back from the cordon, had a sliding stop and a quick release to the keeper. 267/8
    109.2 lobs off the glove to short leg. It's as simple as they come. The short ball is way too good for Shaheen as he attempts to fend that away into the leg side. 302/9

    5.3 beauty castles him. That's from the Waqar Younis school of inswinging yorkers. Full, fast, swinging into him at pace, and it's too quick for him. Stumps re-arranged and Afridi celebrates. 9/2
    3.5 he's been rapped right in front and Powell is walking off, no review. Looked stone dead. This was angled into the left-hander again, and just straigthened a touch to hit him on the knee roll as he was pushing forward to defend. Plumb in front. 8/1
    38.5 got him! Pins him to the crease with incoming deliveries and then manages to straighten on in the corridor. Masterful stuff from Abbas. Honing into off stump on a good length, drawing him forward and making him play. It's a thin outside edge that dips on Rizwan, but he manages to get two hands under that and complete the wicket right after the drinks break 105/5
    13.3 he's gone through him. Faheem has got a key wicket. On a hard length, zipping back into him, kept a bit low and Chase left a gap between bat and pad while looking to defend. The ball sneaks through that and knocks back the stumps 34/3
    21.1 carries this time, this is an exception catch from Babar. Slants a length delivery across, Alzarri plays at this with a slightly angled bat, the ball flies off the thick edge and Babar moves low to his left at third slip to complete the catch. 45/4
    39.6 a tumbling take at gully and Pakistan have another! Two new batters at the crease now. How this game has changed in a matter of two overs. Shaheen bangs this in short, pitching at middle and slanting away from off stump. It's still tight at the body though and he leaps, bat facing the air, not in control trying to defend this. It pings off the outside of the shoulder of the bat, floats to gully's right and he tracks and tracks it and times the leap backwards and to his right perfectly to grab this. Fawad Alam with the stretch to complete that catch 109/7
    38.6 one brings two again! Abbas, you beauty! There is a plot or two left in this game still. Another duck for Mayers. Abbas goes around the wicket, slams it into a good length just outside off. It's not straightening or swinging a whole lot, but it's forced a man out of form to play for the angle. And he plays nervously and inside the line. Another thin edge, another forward lunge from Rizwan 105/6
    49.5 that's five for Shaheen! And it's the big man. Four, four, and now five for Shaheen. 13 wickets in three innings this series. Holder was looking to open up, and that's resulted in a loose shot. It's full outside off, a touch of movement away off the pitch, nothing exaggerated. He looks to drive with an open face and the edge goes through to Rizwan 143/9
    44.5 another massive appeal and another late, considered decision by the umpire to give it out. Lbw this time. Joshua not as confident reviewing this one. It's short of a length, slanted in at middle stump, raps him on the back thigh after beating his inside edge. Right in front of the stumps. He was trapped deep in the crease, this skidded on as he shaped to defend. And it is knocking the top of middle. Abbas has Da Silva eventually. What a spell this has been. West Indies eight down with five minutes to go to lunch 116/8
    51.3 one-handed stunner at midwicket! Babar alert and agile as always, Shaheen finishes with six. Roach looking to hoick this up and over, hit it well but just ran into a top catcher. Pakistan have taken a lead of 152. 150/10

    12.6 sharp catch at cover point. You always get a hunch when bowlers like Mayers come on, don't you? He gets the wicket. Full and wide outside off, walks across and gets down for the cover drive again. Ends up getting under it and driving aerially. Bonner times a good jump to hold that while being off the turf, one-handed with a stretched right hand. That's the end for Imran Butt, he's done his job 90/2
    9.3 steered straight to gully. It's an easy catch and Pakistan have lost one trying to be ultra-aggressive. It's almost like Abid was giving catching practice. Good, low catch from Shai Hope, the substitute fielder. 70/1
    17.3 taken at short fine. Azhar Ali was never comfortable sweeping, and Brathwaite has his man. Tossed up down leg side again, a top edge on the sweep 107/3
    27.2 holes out to long-on. And walks off alongside Rizwan. That is the declaration. It's full and at the stumps, he clears the front leg to try and drill this straight. Miscues it and can't get elevation on it. Bonner goes low to grab that 176/6
    21.2 outstanding from Da Silva as he runs back, keeps his eyes on the ball and then puts in a full-length dive to catch this top-edge from Hassan Ali as he looked to heave this slower delivery into the leg side. 145/4
    23.6 'you miss, I hit' stuff. Spears in a full delivery on the stumps, right into the blockhole, Faheem looks to heave this but misses and is trapped plumb in front 160/5

    52.3 would you believe it? He cuts it straight to point, perhaps done in by the extra bounce he manages to extract off a length. Nauman, who didn't have much to do in the first innings, is leaving his mark in this Test. Surely that's the game right there for Pakistan? 113/6
    12.6 delightful extra cover drive into the gap, two runs into the kitty. There's a direct hit at the striker's end from Shaheen Afridi as they came back for the third. Powell was lazily plonking the bat in instead of grounding it, and has paid a very costly price for it. He's trudging off in disappointment, because this is the best he's looked at the crease for a while. 34/1
    23.5 that's the end of that! Alzarri is beaten for pace as Afridi bangs one in, he's too late on the pull and ends up top-edging it to Rizwan who judges it nicely. 65/2
    27.1 Hasan Ali into the attack and triggers a massive appeal, so massive that he didn't even bother looking back at the umpire. Gregory Brathwaite says not out. He'll have to reverse his decision, because hawkeye shows this would've smashed leg stump. Bonner played down the wrong line, comfortably beaten on the inside edge thanks to the movement back off the seam. West Indies are in trouble 69/3
    31.4 that is outstanding from Butt at third slip! Chase goes chasing outside off, the ball flies off a thick edge but mind you, it's very low, and needs a proper dive. Butt does just that, instinctively, and then gets nice and low to complete this catch moving to his right. Magnificent. No prizes for guessing who is most relieved in the Pakistan camp. 73/4
    46.3 got him! Nauman gets one to kick up from a length and turn away. Blackwood was stretched well forward outside off looking to defend, but he follows the ball with his hands as it starts turning away. A cardinal error while playing the turning, bouncing ball. It's a healthy edge and sharp take to the right from Rizwan 101/5
    65.3 he's done it again! Shaheen Shah Afridi. Delivering again and again and again. A mighty grey cloud is threatening play here and Pakistan were looking desperate suddenly. Afridi bowls this full and fast, Mayers looks to drive through the leg side, ends up driving inside the line and gets an outside edge that carries through to Rizwan. That ball was dipping in late and he was looking to swish into the leg side with force 159/7
    76.2 Holder has fallen into the trap! Sucked in by the flight, looks to drive again but can't keep it down and extra cover takes a good, low catch. Nauman roars, he's bowled lion-heartedly all afternoon and deserves that wicket. Just got the feeling Pakistan were beginning to get desperate, so that wicket should calm them down a bit. 199/8
    83.2 taken at mid-on! That's ten wickets in the game for Shaheen. It's a full inswinger at middle and leg, Da Silva tries to loft it over the fielder but it's come off the toe-end 219/10
    81.6 Roach has reviewed an lbw decision. Inswinger from Shaheen, pins him deep in the crease as he gets on the back foot and looks to defend. It swung in from an off stump line. He missed it by a long way as he got his front leg across late and caught this on the knee roll. It's three reds on DRS. That is hitting the wickets and is a good decision by the umpire. 212/9
