What's new

West Indies v Pakistan | 3rd Test | Roseau, Dominica | May 10-14, 2017 | Day 4

Why would they risk losing any batsmen tonight?

They will score 10 runs in 6 overs tonight, and try to preserve all their wickets for tomorrow.

If Pakistan had given themselves an extra 35 minutes to bowl tonight it could have been 25-2 in fifteen overs instead of 10-0 in six overs.

yes, their plan will be to preserve their wickets today.
 
Misbah must declare in next 20 minutes - 10 overs tonight & 90 tomorrow should be enough.

So after misbah declares.

This guy is still crying.
 
Brave declaration. If Pakistani tailenders can smack it around then it is clearly still possible to score runs here. Still, this does give Pakistan its best chance to win.

They smacked it around but they gave plenty of chances too. It's not easy to score quickly on this pitch

Tailenders played bloody brilliantly, hope Aamer and Hasan Ali can bat like this in the Champions trophy!
 
They have declared, so WI will face around 13 overs tonight, which should allow couple of overs from Yasir. I think, WI will be happy for 30/1; PAK 31/2.

As I said couple of days back - contest in that T20 joke at Mumbai was over after 10 overs of the match - this Test will end as an epic with every result possible & it should go to the 15th session.

Awesome, awesome, awesome Sunday coming.

When Babar Azam got that dubious decision I wrote that Pakistan should declare after 45 overs.

It's a Dukes Ball - it stays lively for more than twenty overs, up to thirty.

So it was a great chance to have twenty overs with both this AND a second new ball tomorrow.

The late declaration has reduced the potential second new ball to a maximum of 13-14 overs.

No, the declaration was half an hour too late.

Maximum six overs tonight.
 
Should bring Yasir but Misbah isn't proactive enough

good job Misbah

Would be great to pick a wicket or two before the day is out but not many overs left

The Last hour of the day we demoralized West Indies!
