4.32pm And that is that for day two. What an absorbing day's cricket we've had, packed with action much like day one. It ends with West Indies six wickets away from their first Test win in Pakistan since 1990. What a result that would be, given the fact that they were 38 for 7 on the first morning. Pakistan will wonder how it got to this point: they need another 178 runs, and that looks like an absolute mountain given how this pitch is behaving, and how well West Indies' spinners are bowling. There have been three missed chances, but they've continued to create more and more opportunities.

Anyway, what a Test match this has been, and what a series. Join us tomorrow morning as these two teams slug it out in what should be the final act of this contest. Until then, it's goodbye from me, Rashad and Thilak.

Sidd: "I know you won't post this but I don't understand the comparison between Kohli and Babar. Kohli's form dipped after age 32. Babar's form dipped after age 28. Babar has not played any crucial knock when the team needs him to. " -- Not commenting on the Kohli-Babar thing, but most world-class batters endure the odd slump in form, and Babar happens to be going through one. And today he looked really, really good until he got out to a really good ball.

Roddy: "This is just brilliant viewing. Every ball produces something. Gutted this is only a 2 test series. Surely 3 should be the minimum. "

Hashim: "Can you explain 21.4 more? Was it out??" -- I initially missed the fact that Imlach had put the catch down.

Sinclair to Saud Shakeel, FOUR, goes for the sweep again, similar delivery to the previous one, and he manages to middle it. It's still risky, because he's going against the turn, but he's prepared to take that risk to access the vacant midwicket region

Sinclair to Saud Shakeel, no run, ooh, goes for the sweep as Sinclair shifts his line a little closer to off stump, and is beaten by sharp turn

Sinclair to Kashif Ali, 1 run, tossed up full outside off, gets forward and squeezes it into the backward point region. They take the single even though you'd think the nightwatcher would want to take most of the strike now

Warrican to Saud Shakeel, no run, ooh, a lot of excitement around the bat. Looks to sweep one thats' too full outside off, and he bottom-edges it into the boot and to the keeper. I'm not sure that hit the ground, but Imlach, moving to his left and falling to his knees, fails to hold on on the juggle!

Warrican to Saud Shakeel, no run, loop and overspin outside off, and this time it turns sharply. Half-defends, half-deliberately pads, and it pops off the pad to short leg

Warrican to Saud Shakeel, no run, beautiful flight outside off and Saud gets forward to defend. Turns less than expected and slides past the outside edge

Last scheduled over of the day, but we'll probably get one more in. Here's Warrican, over the wicket to Saud.

Sinclair to Kashif Ali, no run, past the edge first ball, though it's partially a leave. Back of a length, quite wide of off, shapes to play at it and pulls his bat away when it turns less than expected
