Pakistan edged closer to a series-leveling win against West Indies on the third day of the second and final Test in Trinidad. Abdullah Shafique's unbeaten 160 helped the visitors reach 387 in the first innings, while Sajid Khan and Ali Usman took crucial wickets in the second innings. West Indies' lead of 60 runs dwindled to just 103 for six, thanks to Shafique's performance and Khan's contribution.
Justin Greaves will lead the fight for West Indies into the fourth morning, with uncertainty surrounding Brandon King's availability. Pakistan's bowling attack, led by Jomel Warrican, dominated Pakistan's innings, with 6-112 and three crucial wickets in four balls. West Indies' captain Babar Azam's poor start and dismissals contributed to a gradual slide, with three wickets falling for five runs soon after.
The deteriorating pitch offered sharp turn and variable bounce, creating an ideal environment for Warrican's performances.
