8.37pm Hmm, that was quick. Devendra Bishoo's 8 for 49 is the fifth-best by a West Indian bowler. 14 wickets have tumbled so far on the fourth day.

Yashar: "Bishoo's 8 for 49 are the best bowling figures by any bowler in the UAE, beating Ajmal's 7 for 55."

Harish: "8/49 is the only FIFTH best? That's really cruel."

Karthik: "WI have a chance to impress the cricketing world here.. pull off a draw or an unlikely hard hitting win.. either way, it'll bring back lots of respect! "

Rose: "Ten for Bishoo in the match. Fantastic job under the circumstances"

Sameer: "last 10 overs 35/7......really quick.."

Dr. Aadi: "This approach could hurt Pakistan if the opposition were Australia and the likes of David Warner had to score 350 odd runs in 4 sessions. Pakistan could have shown more attacking enterprise. "

Bishoo to Mohammad Amir, OUT, Bishoo finishes with career-best returns of 8 for 49. He is applauded by his team-mates. Bishoo targets the rough outside off. Good-length legbreak spins in prodigiously, bursts through the defences of Amir, and strikes middle

Bishoo to Sarfaraz Ahmed, OUT, and WI begin the post-dinner session with the wicket of Sarfraz. Bishoo claims his seventh. Sarfraz ran at Bishoo immediately after the break. Bishoo sends down a turning legbreak, Sarfraz was nowhere close to the pitch as he sought to drive. Beats the outside edge. Dowrich grabs the ball and swipes the ball off to catch him short

8.30pm Welcome back. Bishoo will continue. Over the stumps

Sudeep: "You mean last session of the night!" --- Yep, whatever

Nick: "@ Mir : I don't think Pakistan will declare. They have only 2 wickets left, including the key one of Sarfraz Ahmed, who I hope, will try and keep the strike and score quickly before his team gets bowled out ! It will be interesting if West Indies don't loose too many wickets by the end of the day (that's gonna be tough for them !)"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8pm That's dinner. Only nine wickets fell over the course of the first three days. 12 have fallen already on the fourth day. The rough outside the left-hander's off stump is posing a greater threat, with several balls ripping and jumping off it. Bishoo exploited it well and found more grip than he had done in the first innings. Also Pakistan helped his cause by playing some loose strokes in an effort to crank up the scoring rate. Bishoo now has six wickets, but Pakistan's first-innings advantage means that they lead by 343 runs. Come back in 30 minutes for the last session of the day.

Mir: "Pakistan have thrown a few wickets away but run rate has stayed around 4. Shouldn't be a cakewalk to get to 300+ so I think Pakistan have runs and time balanced atm. Should declare in 4/5 overs after dinner."

Danish: "Whoa! step away for a meeting and come back to a different match altogether."

Daniyal: "4 wickets in 4 overs giving only 10 runs. A brilliant comeback by the West Indies..."

Holder to Yasir Shah, OUT, West Indies close the post-tea session with the wicket of Yasir! Lifter outside off, Yasir can't get on top of the bounce. He fends at it meekly and pops it in the air. Holder moves forward and to his right to snap up the return catch. His first wicket of the Test
