Tea West Indies 137 (Warrican 31*, Seales 22, Noman 5-39, Sajid 4-65) trail Pakistan 230 all out (Shakeel 84, Rizwan 71, Seales 3-27) by 93 runs

Noman Ali and Sajid Khan put on a spin bowling masterclass on a surface they found to their tastes, taking nine of the ten wickets to skittle West Indies out for 137 in less than a session. The visitors had little answer to the pair, who bowled all but 14 deliveries of the innings. Only an entertaining 10th wicket 46-run stand from Jomel Warrican and Jayden Seales helped West Indies past 100, and then whittle Pakistan's lead down to 93; they were 68 for eight at one point, with the last two wickets contributing more than half of their runs.

Sajid started the dismantling in just his second over when he cleaned up Mikyle Louis and Keacy Carty off successive balls, the latter thanks to a superb slip catch from debutant Muhammad Hurraira. By the end of his third over, he had four wickets as West Indies floundered, unable to either defend or attack against an unerringly accurate spin duo.

Noman Ali joined the fun, getting drift and turn to clip the outside of Justin Greaves' off stump. It would be the first of five for the left-armer, who was beginning to get huge rip off barely formed footmarks.

As the innings proceeded, West Indies began to adopt a more bellicose outlook, trying to swindle some runs along the way. But there was limited successive - multiple batters dragging it onto their stumps - before the final two partnerships. Gudakesh Motie and Warrican began to play belligerent shots, Warrican utilising the back of the bat with reverse sweeps a handful of times.

The final partnership was the only period when West Indies truly dominated the spinners, though, connecting cleanly as they hit both spinners over cow corner for multiple sixes. It forced Pakistan into bringing on Abrar Ahmed for the first time as the pair plundered 46 off 21 balls. It would be Abrar who picked up the final wicket when Seales failed to pick up a googly and miscued it straight up as Mohammad Rizwan took the catch, ending that brief resistance.

In the morning session, West Indies took four wickets for 13 runs to trigger a Pakistan collapse after Saud Shakeel and Rizwan put on 141 runs for the fifth wicket to leave Pakistan two wickets away for the end of the innings. The pair had begun with the same authority they ended the fourth day with, but once Kevin Sinclair snared Shakeel 16 short of a fifth Test hundred, Pakistan's resistance melted away. Only a punchy rearguard partnership between Sajid Khan and Khurram Shahzad prevented West Indies from running through the innings even sooner, but Pakistan were still bowled out for 230 on the stroke of lunch.

West Indies began the day sticking to disciplined tight lines, at one point conceding six runs in seven overs as Seales and Warrican locked in. But neither batter offered up chances during this time, and when Pakistan negotiated the first hour without loss, West Indies were in danger of being shut out of the game.

But the first ball after drinks brought joy for West Indies. Sinclair lured Shakeel forward before getting it to grip and taking his edge. As if it had been forgotten, the pitch suddenly began to remind everyone how hostile it could be to batters against quality spin as the ball hissed and spat off the surface. Salman Agha was deceived in the flight from Warrican to drag on before Pakistan imploded. A bizarre mix-up between Rizwan and Noman saw the wicketkeeper turn his back on Noman to leave him unsuccessfully scrambling to return to the non-striker's end, before a reverse sweep off the next delivery ended his own innings, a sharp West Indian review finishing off Rizwan's innings for 71.

It was only an entertaining stand from Sajid and Shahzad that saw a few more runs flow for Pakistan before the innings petered out. Sajid launched Sinclair over cow corner for six amidst a little flurry as Pakistan added 25 quickfire runs. But Warrican returned to wrap the innings up, making short work of both as they took 6 wickets for 43 in a session of two halves. It was a harbinger for a middle session where the wicket-taking would continue unabated.
