10.40am West Indies have taken 7.5 overs this morning to nip out the two remaining wickets. Not a bad effort to get a side bowled out for under 300 after losing the toss. But the grind begins now. Can West Indies build a solid total to make a match of this or will Yasir Shah enjoy another wicket-fest on a surface that will only increasingly take turn as the Test progresses? We'll be back in 10 minutes.

90.5
W
Joseph to Yasir Shah, OUT, that's the end of that. Yasir hangs his bat out at that length ball without any conviction and can only manage an inside edge onto the stumps. He was late on the stroke and has paid the price.

Yasir Shah b Joseph 12 (53m 32b 1x4 0x6) SR: 37.50
