    0.5 Shaheen in the first over, Shaheen with a wicket! It's a bad shot, in truth. Wide outside off stump, and Brandon King reached towards it with hands but no footwork. At cover, Babar Azam has an easy catch, and Pakistan's two most recognisable players combine for West Indies' first wicket 4/1
    18.6 Through the line.... very high. Shaheen zig-zags from long-on, takes an excellent catch despite the ball swirling in the wind! Fingers pointing up. Started to the right, got forward and then back. Took it above head and used his elbow to land on his back, with ball in hand. Ayub lobbing it full around off, lofted straight drive was on. Stock ball landed around off and turned a touch which is what cost Lewis 105/3
    14.2 Low fully creates a soft dismissal. 95ks, on leg stump. Carty got inside the line by covering all his stumps, got on one knee and tried to sweep. More of a short-arm hit with the follow-through stopping halfway, into the shot through early and the ball went off the middle of the edge. Not too high, slip went a few feet behind the keeper to complete a dolly. 81/2
    40.2 Shaheen hits back. Hope freed his arms, but it was a slower ball and he played down the wrong line, getting an outside edge that ballooned up nicely for Rizwan. A steady but stodgy innings from the West Indies captain ends just as they needed him to pick up the pace 200/5
    25.3 slash from Rutherford finds Saim Ayub at extra cover! Made room and tried to carve it over the field, but doesn't get the elevation, and Ayub has the simplest catch to hold on to. Pakistan's spinners finding a way to stymie the scoring rate and chip away 136/4
    44.5 Naseem has the last laugh. Takes the pace off and Chase lobs it straight down long-on's throat. Never looked like it'd have the strength to clear that fielder, and just as Chase was moving through the gears, he stutters to a halt 233/7
    42.6 gets the wicket. Shepherd slogged listlessly, never looking like he was going to inflict the kind of Wi need to at the moment. It was something of a cross-batted hoick, took his outside edge, and offered up the simplest chance for backward point 215/6

    48.5 cleans him up with a yorker, and this time the bails fly off the groove. Naseem has deserved that. Perfect middle stump yorker gets underneath the ramp Motie was trying to play and makes a mess of the stumps. It's been a valuable innings from Motie nevertheless, getting West Indies as close to 300 as possible 280/9
    47.2 and follows up with a beautiful reverse swinging yorker. Maybe that older ball finally has begun to move. That's what he was going for and that is picture perfect. Sneaks through Joseph's defences and hits the base of middle stump. Brings a wide grin to Shaheen's dial, and why wouldn't it? 262/8

    48.6 finishes this innings off with another fiery yorker! Full, straight and tailing back in, and he slices through Blades like a hot knofe through butter. Just too good for the number 11, and Naseem gets a bit of redemption after the mixed day he's had with the ball. 280/10

    2.6 Thick edge to the keeper. Wicket ball as good as the set-up if not better. Seales has kept getting extra bounce, gets another to nip away and finds the outside edge. Ayub had a small stride across, bat was nearly next to him as he looked to defend towards mid-off. 16/1
    11.6 rapped on the pads, and this looks very close . Joseph insists on reviewing straightaway. Skipper Hope looked less convinced, but so animated was his fast bowler he ultimately signals. It's height which may be the issue, because there's no bat. And would you believe it, it's hitting the top of middle and leg, three reds What a review, and what a big wicket! 63/2
    23.3 Gudakesh bamboozles Babar. Gets the 84ks ball to drift in, hit close to back of length around off before turning away sharply. From around the wicket too. Babar was down the track early and lost his shape as he looked to drive through mid-off. Was too early into the shot. Easy stumping for Hope. Motie upper cuts the air, Babar smacks the back of his bat 118/3
    37.2 gets him this time The previous one may have been hitting him outside the line or been too high, but this time it keeps a shade low, and strikes the batter below the knee role. Rizwan reviews, but it's not going to save him Three reds, with the ball thudding into leg stump. Huge blow for Pakistan 180/5
    30.4 he's chipped it straight back to Chase, and neither the bowler nor the batter seems able to believe what happened. It dug into the pitch, and Salman just found himself scooping it up, giving Chase all the time in the world to let the ball nestle into his grateful hands 158/4
