West Indies collapse to Pakistan's spin trap

Noman Ali took 5 wickets for 39 runs and Sajid Khan took 4 wickets for 65 runs as West Indies were bowled out for 137, conceding a 93-run lead to Pakistan. This came after Pakistan had collapsed from 187/4 to 230 all out in the second morning.

Sajid was the initial wrecking ball, claiming the top-four wickets in quick succession. He bowled Mikyle Louis on his first ball, caught Keacy Carty at short-leg off the next delivery, and then dismissed Kraigg Brathwaite and Kavem Hodge in the same over. Noman then took over, getting Justin Greaves caught LBW on DRS review, and then taking the wickets of Tevin Imlach, Alick Athanaze, and Kevin Sinclair in successive overs.

Noman completed his fifer when he bowled Gudakesh Motie, who had put on a brief 25-run partnership with Jomel Warrican. Warrican and Jayden Seales then put on 46 runs for the last wicket, with Seales hitting three sixes before being dismissed by Abrar Ahmed. Warrican finished unbeaten on 31.

Brief scores: Pakistan 230 leads West Indies 137 (Jomel Warrican 31*, Noman Ali 5-39, Sajid Khan 4-65) by 93 runs.
