Well both teams picked three specialist spinners, fairly expected.
Not convinced Warrican really adds much as third spinner that Hodge couldn't do anyway though.

Will both teams regret not selecting another seamer? Atleast Windies have Greaves to bowl some medium pacers

West Indies could have done with another seamer that can bat like a Holder/Mayers type player

Warrican is in there because of his captain’s preference ( both Bajans).
His style is rather boring , I guess.
it might work on this wicket…let’s see

Yeah that's why Greaves is there but another seam bowling allrounder could have been useful ahead of Warrican. Hodge can bowl more left arm spin if needed anyway.

Greaves has started loose.

KC is in. Cricinfo has Amir Jangoo as keeper.
Anyway: somewhat surprised JdS was dropped. Thoughts?

Poor run of form (and perhaps something else).
Oh, the dropped catches in the BD series.

Pakistan will stop making these pitches when someone takes 3-4 decent spinners there and beats them 3-0

Warrican is into the attack and is flighting the ball more and bowling at a slower pace than Motie. Getting good purchase

Another half-century for Shakeel

Having Pakistan 4 down for nothing and then allowing them to end the day without losing any further wickets shows a few things I like about test cricket.
Faced with adversity, you can either battle it out or run away. Saud and Rizwan did the former and they bat until the cows came home. Big plus and boost for Pakistan.
Having the opposition in that position, you need to set attacking fields to twist the knife in their gut. This was reflected in the low number of maidens that was bowled. The two batters absorbed any pressure that was there and then turn it back against the bowlers.
Good test cricket.
