West Indies 311 & 126 for 7 (Chanderpaul 35, Joseph 22*; Abbas 3-14) lead Pakistan 282 all out (Masood 109, Imam-ul-Haq 63; Greaves 5-27) by 155 runs
Despite a historic five-wicket haul from Justin Greaves, the West Indies ended Day 3 against Pakistan staggering against the ropes, having lost seven wickets with an unclassified 155-run second-innings lead.
Greaves earlier claimed career-best figures of 5 for 27 to help dismiss Pakistan for 282 and hand Windies a 29-run first-innings advantage before Mohammad Abbas (3/14) and Khurram Shahzad (2/36) steered the contest back in Pakistan’s favour.
Greaves became the first-ever player in the era of statistics to record five consecutive wicket-maidens, triggering a Pakistan collapse in which the visitors lost their last 7 wickets for 38 runs, momentarily putting the Caribbean side on top.
Captain Roston Chase (
later became the 14th and final wicket to fall on the day, edging Shahzad through to wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, leaving the hosts seven down for 93.
A crucial 33-run unbroken stand between Sharmar Joseph (22*) and Kemar Roach (5*) then lifted West Indies’ lead to 155 on an inconsistent Tarouba pitch.
