Day five report

Pakistan clinched an historic first series win in the Caribbean by beating West Indies by 101 runs in a thrilling third and final Test match in Dominica.

Pace bowler Yasir Shah took five for 92 - his 11th Test five-for - as the hosts were all out for 202 in their second innings with just six balls remaining despite a brave, unbeaten 101 from Roston Chase.

Pakistan, who sealed a 2-1 series win, held a first-innings lead of 129 at Windsor Park in Roseau and declared their second innings on 174 for eight, with the West Indies 303 runs behind.

After 14 wickets had fallen on the penultimate day, the West Indies resumed the final day on seven for one, requiring another 297 runs with nine wickets remaining.

The hosts struggled to 93 for six in the 44th over, but were given hope when skipper Jason Holder joined Roston at the crease and they had lifted their side to 151 when the former was bowled lbw by Hasan Ali in the 62nd over.

West Indies' fine rearguard action was built on Chase's gutsy 239-ball century, but just as it appeared he would steer his side to an unlikely draw, last man Shannon Gabriel inside-edged Shah on the last ball of the match's penultimate over.

Day four report

West Indies require another 297 runs with nine wickets remaining to claim a series-clinching Test victory over Pakistan following a dramatic penultimate day in which 14 wickets fell in Dominica.

Chasing 304 to win the three-match rubber 2-1, the Windies closed on seven for one from 6.3 overs after Kieran Powell was caught at silly point off leg-spinner Yasir Shah to what proved to be the final ball of the day.

Pakistan had seized control of the Test during the morning session, Mohammad Abbas taking four of five wickets to fall for just 29 runs to return figures of five for 46, helping to dismiss the Windies for 247.

However, the tourists struggled to build on their first-innings lead of 129 as they slipped to 90 for seven, with retiring veterans Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq both failing to make significant scores in their final Test knocks.

Younis, who earlier took a Pakistan-record 10th catch in the series, and Misbah fell in quick succession to Devandra Bishoo, for 35 and two respectively, and left the field to a guard of honour from their team-mates.

But Mohammad Amir and Yasir, who hit a career-best 38 not out, frustrated the hosts with a 61-run eighth-wicket stand to allow Pakistan to declare on 174 for eight, heaping the pressure on the Windies on the final day.

Day three report

Roston Chase struck an unbeaten half-century before retiring hurt as West Indies made slow progress on day three of the deciding Test against Pakistan in Dominica.

The 25-year-old batsman, who compiled 63 in the first game of the series and 131 in the second, was continuing his fine form with 60 until he was hit on the elbow attempting to pull Mohammad Amir in the 84th over.

Replying to 376 all out, West Indies closed on 218 for five after 100 overs, still 158 runs behind, with Shane Dowrich and skipper Jason Holder at the crease.

Chase and Shai Hope, who made 29, rebuilt the innings with a fourth-wicket stand of 55 after Yasir Shah struck three times to reduce the hosts to 97 for three.

Chase walked off injured four overs after Pakistan took the new ball, which accounted for Vishaul Singh as Mohammad Abbas swung one back in to trap him lbw, but Dowrich and Holder held firm in an unbroken partnership of 29.

Day two report

Misbah-ul-Haq scored a 39th Test 50 on his final appearance as Pakistan were bowled out for 376 on day two of the decisive third Test against the West Indies.

The 42-year-old Pakistan captain, who has announced this tour will be his last, played his part in an attritional innings from the visitors, occupying the crease for 146.3 overs.

Misbah was given a guard of honour on his way to the crease, when the score was 177 for three, and, after being dropped on nought by wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich, went on to reach a half-century in 144 deliveries.

Misbah made 59 before he became one of four victims for Roston Chase.

Younis Khan, who is also retiring after the tour of the Caribbean, added just eight runs to his overnight 10 not out, but Azhar Ali completed a 14th Test century - and second of the series - before also departing to Chase (four for 103) having made 127.

Wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed made 51 as the tourists put on 54 runs for the last two wickets.

West Indies openers Kraigg Brathwaite and Kieran Powell safely negotiated 11 overs in the evening, reaching stumps with the score 14 without loss.

Day one report

Azhar Ali made an unbeaten half-century as Pakistan struggled through a rain-hit first day of the decisive third Test against West Indies at Roseau.

The home side's 106-run win in Bridgetown last week meant the series remains in the balance, but Azhar batted all day to remain unbeaten on 85, while Babar Azam added 55 as the tourists reached 169 for two at the close.

Having dismissed Pakistan cheaply in the second Test to claim a win, Jason Holder opted to bowl first in favourable conditions and was rewarded as the recalled Shan Masood edged Roston Chase to slip for just nine.

That brought Babar Azam to the crease on the back of a pair in Bridgetown, but the 22-year-old played without alarm before persistent rain forced an early end to the afternoon session.

Shane Dowrich earlier missed a sharp catch to get rid of Azhar, but was later guilty of missing a far more straightforward catch to dismiss Azam as he failed to get a hand on an inside edge.

Pakistan were bogged down by some tight bowling from the hosts but the pair continued, adding 120 for the second wicket before Azam was caught in two minds by Alzarri Joseph and edged to slip for 55.

Younus Khan was given a guard of honour on his way to the crease in what could be his final Test and finished the day unbeaten on 10, alongside Azhar who rode his luck to see out the day on 85 not out.
