Pakistan lead by 202 runs after securing 109 runs for the loss of three wickets at Stumps on the second day. Earlier, Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel’s eighties’ put forward a competitive 230 followed by Noman Ali and Sajid Khan’s fifer and four-for respectively bundling the visitors for 137.

Following a thirty-minute delay due to frost, the overnight batters, Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel played with caution against the West Indies spinners. They were ready to pounce on the looseners and keep the scoreboard ticking, steering Pakistan to 187/4 until Drinks Break. Right after, the lapse in concentration caused Shakeel to nick an away-turner from Kevin Sinclair, concluding a 141-run stand. This made way for a flurry of wickets with Pakistan's lower order collapsing in the next 70 balls for 43 runs and finishing the innings at 230.

In response, Pakistan started with Sajid Khan and Khurram Shahzad and quickly switched to spin from both ends. Sajid Khan struck twice in the third over followed by the wickets of Kraigg Brathwaite and Kavem Hodge by the fifth over. Alick Athanaze and Justin Greaves held the fort for 29 balls, the second-most partnership in the innings concerning balls faced. The constant grip and turn extracted off the surface made it difficult for the Windies’ defensive mindset to survive. This is when Noman Ali came into the act and wreaked havoc from the opposite end amidst lusty blows from Gudakesh Motie and Jomel Warrican, which propelled West Indies to 137.

After the visitors were folded in a session, Pakistan kicked off the third session on a positive note with Shan Masood playing opting an attacking mindset. While he didn’t hesitate from swinging the blade, Mohammad Hurraira played second fiddle, accumulating 67 runs for the first wicket. Warrican’s precisive bowling with sharp turns helped West Indies earn a couple of wickets in the middle of the session. While Kamran Ghulam held one end up, Masood put himself in trouble with a disastrous run out before bad light called off play.
