At lunch, Pakistan had reached 333-6 in 95 overs, trailing West Indies by just 11 runs, with Shafique unbeaten on a superb 132 and all-rounder Sajid Khan providing valuable support on 16 not out. The pair’s composed unbeaten stand ensured Pakistan remained well placed to secure a crucial first-innings lead. Resuming the day at 266-2, Pakistan looked comfortably positioned thanks to the overnight partnership between captain Babar Azam and Shafique. The dismissal not only denied the Pakistan captain a long-awaited Test century but also sparked another familiar batting collapse. For West Indies, Warrican remained the standout performer with 3-103, while Joseph claimed 2-68, but Pakistan entered the break needing only 12 more runs to erase the deficit and seize control of the match.
