    1.2 gone! Strikes with his second ball in Test cricket. Back of a length outside off, a tentative poke by Brathwaite, he might have been able to leave it, and the catch is take neatly at second slip 1/1
    26.2 edged, taken at second slip! West Indies lose their fifth. A loose end to Powell's hard work. Full outside off, hint of swing away, tempts Powell into playing away from his body to drive and the edge travels nicely to Younis' right 71/5
    8.2 through him! Amir's off the mark. Spears in towards off stump, Hetmyer is caught back in the crease and can't get the bat down. Off stump goes cartwheeling 24/2
    12.6 and another! A crackerjack from Amir. Another excellent set-up, pushing the ball across outside off then jags this one back off the seam at good pace. Skims past the inside edge into off stump 32/3
    19.4 full on the pads, Singh clips in the air... straight to backward square leg! Wahab breaks through, it's a bit of a gimme wicket, could have been clipped wherever he wanted along the ground but Singh managed to scoop it low towards the fielder on the edge of the ring, Azhar Ali taking taking a solid catch diving forward 53/4
    69.3 oh my goodness, what a catch! I can barely believe this. They are just checking with the TV umpire. Soft signal is out. Chase got underneath a loft drive. It went very high, cleared mid-off who was inside the circle but Wahab turned, tracked the ball over his shoulder, then somehow manages to reach the ball with an out-stretched hand and, to top it off, is able to stop himself sliding into the boundary marker. You won't see anything better 189/6
    69.4 two in two! And how the games changes. Round the wicket, spins from outside leg stump, but perhaps not as much as he expected, defeats the drive on the inside edge and castles him 189/7

    88.5 is that an edge? Yes, it is. Amir fires it outside off and pitches it up. Swings away a little bit, not much. Bishoo swishes outside off, that's always an ill-advised shot to be playing, goes after it outside off without any feet and gets an edge to the wicketkeeper 264/8
    90.5 the change in angle works. Fullish length, fires it from wide of the crease and angles it on. Gets it to swing in and burst through Joseph's blade. Amir gets down and performs a sajda. First five-for for Amir since Lord's 2010 274/9
    94.6 cleaned up! That is that...a career-best for Amir. Full and straight, Gabriel goes for a drive when he should have been defending. Ball spears into the stumps past the inside edge 286/10

    5.4 edges a wide one! That's a bit of a horror from Azhar. Short, wide outside off, he slashes with an attempt of a cut and the top edge is well held by Dowrich diving in front of first slip 23/1
    16.3 nipbacker, thuds into the pads - given! That looked a pretty easy decision for umpire Illingworth, bang in line with off stump and Shehzad stuck on the crease, Holder strikes without needing DRS. A promising innings from Shehzad but it is unfulfilled 54/2

    68.1 played on, West Indies have another! Gabriel takes his second wicket in three balls and it's another big one, with Babar set and perhaps beginning to think about a maiden Test hundred. Excellent pace late in the day and it came in at the batsman, took the inside edge and then cannoned into the stumps via Babar's thigh pad 186/4
    66.5 breakthrough! Return of pace has done it. Full outside off, Younis goes for the drive and the catch is taken low down at cover. A punchy shot, came from low down the bat, couldn't keep it down 185/3

    86.6 got him, quick and bouncy and takes the outside edge! Third wicket for Gabriel, he's chiseled out Shafiq... Probably could have left the ball but it was fired into the pitch, rising like steam outside off, singed the edge and Dowrich took it high to his right 236/5
    111.4 oh, bowled him, behind the legs! Sarfraz was looking to sweep, might have actually played on... Bishoo celebrates his first wicket, he certainly got some turn, looks as if Sarfraz didn't get his hands quite low enough and played over the ball, off stump ended up out of the ground. No century for him today, but still a tidy knock 324/6
    116.2 chases the ball in the channel, nicked off - Joseph gets his man! It was short and wide enough to leave but Amir wanted to feel bat on ball and perishes via a thick edge into the keeper's gloves 341/7
    120.4 bowled 'im, that's a beauty! Joseph has another, bringing the ball back in once again, slides through his defence like a hot knife, it's the perfect length to flick the leg bail and send Wahab on his way 355/8
    128.1 direct hit does the job! Substitute fielder Blackwood from cover. Yasir came forward, pushed the ball into the off side, set off for the run, Misbah wasn't moving. Yasir was halfway down. Blackwood set himself, took aim and hit the base of the stumps. Good work 373/9
    138.4 he's given lbw! He calls for the review straightaway, or rather Misbah does! Turns and beats the bat. He's playing back. Taken on the back leg. Illingworth the umpire. Has he hit it? No Snicko or Hot Spot in this series. Clipping the top of leg stump. Out by a tiny margin 407/10

    10.1 he can! Brathwaite bowled, strikes first ball! Pakistan are cock-a-hoop at that intervention, right on the money from the off and the ball skids on, the batsman playing back but beaten for pace and off stump takes it right in the mush, flattened... How about that for an introduction?! 22/1
    26.6 that's four! What a session he's had. Another one wide in the footmarks, not so full this time though, and it doesn't turn as much, Powell presses forward and this time it takes the outside edge to slip. Lovely bowling. 89/4
    20.3 what a response! Big spin from the rough, rags into Hetmyer who is playing back, he plays the ball down into his leg and it ricochets into the stumps. Massive turn, and a touch of bad fortune for the batsman 72/2
    24.2 he's got another! A quicker delivery, skids into the front pad as Hope tries to get forward. He's called for the review but Richard Illingworth's decision looks a good one. Pitched around middle, just straightens a little. Pad first. Crashing into middle. Poor review, really 84/3
    43.1 snuffed out at second slip. This is a nothing delivery, and the change of angle seems to have brought out a poor shot. Short of length outside off, no deviation whatsoever, he looks to slash but is late on the shot, the thick edge flies to Younis, who shows age hasn't dimmed his reflexes there. This is a fairly simple chance which he gleefully accepts. 129/6
    35.5 error in judgement from the batsman. Does not account for the angle into him. Back of a length, fired from wide of the crease and he leaves it thinking it will go away outside off, cuts back in a long way off the seam and takes out his stumps 110/5

    43.3 got the first ball to move away and then slanted this back in full from wide of the crease. Dowrich looks to flick when he should've looked to play with a straight bat. Missed it altogether. Hawkeye confirms the ball would've hit middle and leg. 129/7
    51.3 loose shot from Holder. Pays the price. Wahab persists with the outside off channel. Fires it very wide, asking Holder to chase it. He does just that and goes after it without any feet. Gets an outside edge for his troubles and Sarfraz does the rest behind the stumps, gets down to his right to snaffle it. Loss of concentration from the batsman, perhaps 151/8
    52.1 that's five for Yasir. Flights it up and gets a little bit of drift into the batsman. Joseph gets across, playing for the turn perhaps. it does turn but from around leg stump channel and he cannot get his bat in front in time. Gets rapped on the pad and it seemed pretty plumb. Umpire Illingworth needs little time to give that one 152/9
    52.4 and that is it. The last wicket has been gifted away, a typical tailender's shot from Gabriel. Gets down for a big slog sweep, gets a huge top edge and skies it towards mid-off where Mohammad Abbas snaffles it. Six wickets for Yasir 152/10

    3.1 and now both the openers are gone. Tries to leave a delivery outside off. But he is late in lifting the bat and inadvertently chops the ball on to the stumps off the toe end 7/2
    2.4 edged and taken. Shehzad tentatively pushes at this one outside off. It is angled in to him around middle before shaping away after pitching, Shehzad reaches out for it and sends a thick edge flying in the direction of the wicketkeeper 7/1

    10.2 drifts this full ball on middle from wide of the crease, Younis looks to nurdle this to the leg side but the bat comes down at an angle as he prods outside the line. He's hit almost full on the pad. Would've most definitely gone on to hit the stumps. Looked like he got into a tangle while trying to defend. The bottom of the bat may have just got stuck into the pitch as he tried to turn that away. Hawkeye confirms it pitched on leg and would've hit leg. 24/3
