West Indies vs Pakistan in UAE 2016

Windies might bat themselves out of the chase here. A draw would still be a fine, fine effort however. Another 10 overs of sub 3 RPO scoring will make it fairly difficult in these conditions to chase without giving Pakistan chances.

at least another 55 overs to go and the WI need 165. Quite doable really. Playing yasir really well.

i assume they're waiting til the final session to see if it's worth their while to go for it or shut up shop for a draw. they'd definitely be happy with a draw so that's why they're not going all guns blazing IMO

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with their tactics at all just saying it might become hard to chase if they need 5 RPO in last 20 with say 5 wickets in hand given that Yasir against lower order batters has potential to be brutal.

Great day of test cricket though.

true, plus the last session has had plenty of dew making it difficult for the bowlers. WI should fancy themselves if they can keep at least 5 wickets until the next session

This is an intriguing match. Yasir hits back after Chase smacks him for a four.

Whatever happens from here on, WI's display has been heartening.

That's probably done it.. Wahab gets Dowrich with a terrific yorker.
