Akeal Hosein: Pretty good feeling. My game-plan is simple, to keep things tight. Thought this wicket was a bit slower, there's a bit of purchase for the spinners. Plan to Babar was to spin the ball as much as possible. We can get this total.
8.10pm Some useful runs added by Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Wasim towards the end but West Indies will be chuffed with that effort. Particularly after the start Pakistan got. For a while it looked like it was business as usual for Pakistan as Imam Ul Haq and Babar Azam added 120 for the second wicket, their 8th century stand. Both Imam and Babar made their sixth consecutive scores in excess of fifty, but both fell in their seventies. Imam was run-out for 72 and that sparked a collapse as Pakistan's middle order came a cropper. Alzarrri Joseph was the pick of the bowlers picking up 2 for 33 and Akeal Hosein put the breaks in the middle taking 3 for 52 including the crucial wicket of Babar. The wicket's a bit slow and offering a bit of turn, so the Pakistan spinners will be in the game as well. But West Indies should back themselves to get these. We'll join you for the chase in about half an hour.
