16 for 3 at present. Need one of Chase or Blackwood to score big. Not exactly in the best of positions here.

Either team can win this one, but unless we start batting better it's Pakistan that might just edge things.

Have a feeling Roston Chase will see West Indies home here

8 wickets in the first session today. And yes, the pitch helped, but it wasn't a bad pitch.

Congrats to Serles for his first 5-for. Beautiful bowling. On the opposition side, Shaheen and Abbas both continue to keep things very tight

Only one review left for Pakistan though. Strategy may just come into play.

Oh, four from Blackwood. He should be encouraged to play those shots but add a solid defense into his game too.

 

[qpeedore]

Made it to lunch. We have a very fragile batting order, I don't want to see it come down to Holder or da Silva guiding the tail.

Need to get wickets at regular intervals. The target is not big enough to let anyone settle.

During the break, there's an amazing interview with Kemar Roach. Is he one of the greats? When you've got guys like Walsh, Ambrose, Marshall, Roberts, Garner, Holding (and I can go on and on and on)...you might not say that Roach is great.

But look at this - the first of our bowlers to 200 wickets since Ambrose. As far as I'm concerned, the best currently at bowling around the wicket to left handers. The leader of our bowling attack that just seems to improve with time played.

This from a player who got his start in a very controversial series against Bangladesh back in 2008 or so.

He's great, no doubt about that.

Well, this is where I drop off, have a million things to do today. All I can say is good luck to Pakistan, but I still feel like this is Windies match to lose

 

[qpeedore]

Take care, @ahmedleo414 , hope you get through with everything you need to do today.

 

[Neptune]

Hasan Ali is bowling well. I feel like he is the type of bowler to take a few wickets and shift the momentum of the game. Is bowling well here too

The umpiring has been quite poor in this game. Should've reviewed that.

 

[CerealKiller]

They didn’t appeal for an edge
Looking like game over to me.

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

They didn’t appeal for an edge

Oh crap, I thought they did and it wasn't given

Well, if you're going to let opportunities like that slip, maybe you should lose.

 

[CerealKiller]

Did Babar forget that Yasir is playing? It's the 4th innings and no spinner yet?

 

[qpeedore]

Brathwaite the umpire is one of the better ones in the Caribbean. But he's having a terrible game.
