Cricinfo – Pakistan pulled clear on an absorbing day of Test cricket that see-sawed one way and then the other. While West Indies had improved upon their position from 24 hours ago in the first half, a disastrous last session saw Pakistan rip through six batters with the hosts leading by a precarious 60 runs. It means they face an uphill battle on a wearing pitch to set a target anywhere near the one that won them the first Test.

The final session had the potential to be make-or-break for either side. For large parts, it appeared as if both sides were just about holding their ground, but Pakistan blew the house down in the final hour. An errant new-ball spell from Mohammad Ali had seen West Indies wipe out Pakistan’s 43 run lead with their opening partnership, but the game changed when Sajid Khan and Ali Usman were introduced, and the pitch sprang to life.

Sajid caught Tagenarine Chanderpaul betwixt and between with his footwork, and trapped him deep enough in his crease for Hawk-Eye to show the ball clipping the top of the stumps. With Brandon King picking up a back spasm in the field, and Kavem Hodge pushed up to open, Amir Jangoo was next man in – but he was castled by an unplayable offspinner that landed on length and ripped away to clip the top of off.
