WI 226 and 96/7, PAK 160 Day Three (lunch)
The West Indians have slipped to a dismal 96/7 in their second innings in another eventful session of the gripping first Test between Pakistan and the West Indies taking place in Guyana.
The hosts have a lead of 162 runs and have three more wickets in the kitty as they bid to end their woeful run in the longest format of the game in the last two years or so.
Resuming their second innings at a precarious 34/2 the hosts were in further trouble almost immediately, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859. The batsman also wasted a review by asking the third umpire to
oversee the decision.
Roach scored three runs only. Pakistan got another victim soon after when the in-form opening bat Lendl Simmons was brilliantly caught on the second attempt by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wahab-Riaz-c95839. The opener scored 21 runs.
Ramnaresh Sarwan was in all sorts of trouble against the spin of Saeed Ajmal. The right-spinner had the last laugh as he sent him packing with a sharp rising off-break that was snapped by the short-leg fielder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Asad-Shafiq-c46208.
Pakistan had more success coming their way, left-handed batsman, Brendon Nash, was run out after he stumbled in his attempt of completing a second run. He scored three runs off 19 balls.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shivnarine-Chanderpaul-c90073 survived some anxious moments of his own on the Providence minefield. He was lucky to get past a run-out appeal that was referred to the third umpire.

The West Indians took lunch without further damage. They have a lead of 162 and considering the nature of the wicket and the fragility of the Pakistani batting that might yet be adequate.
