Pakistan has seized control of the match following a resilient batting display led by Abdullah Shafique and Babar Azam. Shafique marked his return to form with a century, while Babar Azam contributed a significant 86, anchoring a powerful response for the side.
The performance comes amidst a seesawing contest on a challenging pitch. Despite the shifting momentum, the West Indies remain optimistic about their prospects, with Jangoo expressing confidence, stating, "We're right on our way," regarding the team's chances on the tricky surface.
However, the West Indies bowling unit faces scrutiny. Rampaul noted the need for improvement, remarking, "Our faster bowlers need to be a little more consistent" as they look to contain the Pakistani lineup. The day concluded with Pakistan firmly in the driver's seat as they continue to build their total.
