Muhammad Abbas has again shown great bowling. I have known Muhammad Abbas for a very long time that he has been playing for Pakistan, and I have always seen his performances in Test cricket, which are absolutely amazing. In almost every match .In this Test series he again took the first two wickets. This guy performance is consistent. So why doesn't the PCB allow him to play international T20 and ODI cricket? They should just give him a chance. This is so unfair. Look at his record guys Its absolutely amazing. He has only played 3 ODIs in his whole career which is completely unfair. I know, guys he is far better than Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah. SO PCB should also bring him into ODI cricket.

Shan Masood is removed from captaincy and probably that has eased out pressure from him to focus on his batting. Shan Masood has scored his seventh test hundred and due to that superb knock Pakistan now just 67 runs short of West Indies first innings total of 311 runs with seven wickets in hand. Still 2 more days left in this test. If Pakistan can take a good lead in first innings and then bowl out West Indies quickly then Pakistan has a chance to win this test though its not easy to bat on last day of the test.   

Pakistan International test cricket team have to restrict opponent team on 150 if they want to close this match with win because they are not able to chase big target in this match and West Indies cricket team is leading in this match and because Pak cricket team could not make a pressure on West Indies cricket team by making a good score on the board and now they have ball in their hands and they will take back to back wickets And all team out will be in this match they will have a chance to win this match. Mohammad Abbas took 2 wickets in the second inning which is positive start by that player but all bowlers have to give their best to win this match and that will be two sided game because West Indies is in this game if they made a target above 200 as we know the history of Pak cricket team and they could not chase lowest targets .

West Indies scored 311 in first innings and Pakistan 282, which is 29 runs deficit in the first innings. West Indies have faltered in their second innings, scoring 126/7, and Khurram Shahzad has taken 2/36 to ensure that Pakistan stay in the game. Shamar Joseph is unbeaten on 22 runs and will be aiming to extend the advantage tomorrow with the tail. Kemar Roach is the other batter at the crease on 5 runs. West Indies still have three wickets in hand and could score another 30-40 runs before Pakistan come in for the second innings. Target anywhere between 180-220 looks likely, which would set up interesting final day and a half of this Test.

WI got a 29 runs lead in first innings and in second innings they have scored 126 runs for the loss of loss of 7 wickets. The current partnership of Kemar Roach and Shamar Joseph is getting dangerous for Pakistan because they have scored vital 33 runs together and Pakistani bowlers must try to break that partnership as quickly as possible to stop WI from extending there lead. If WI can take the target to 200 then it will give there bowlers a good chance to win the game. The first session of 4th day will be interesting to watch because both teams will try to dominate in that session.

The West Indies team could not give a very good batting performance in their second innings, due to the good bowling performance of the Pakistan team, the West Indies team was under a lot of pressure due to which they could not create a very big lead. On the fourth day of the game, the West Indies team was quickly out as no batsman could bat well, losing nine wickets. The West Indies team was already on the verge of being all out, due to the bowling performance of the Pakistan team, they could not bat in this match. At the moment, the West Indies team has collected a lead of 210 runs, but if the West Indies team cannot give a good bowling performance in this match, then they will definitely lose the match of the series. However, the Pakistan team will try hard to stay ahead in this series and they will bat well to win this match. Although the target is not very high, if the opening batsmen of the Pakistan team can perform well, then it is possible to win.

None of them managed to dominate in the first session of day 4. We have seen the domination from the pitch only,. Both teams have struggled to bat in it. Pakistan is looking hopeless in front of 211 runs target. They have 6 wickets already in less than 60 runs. Babar Azam is the only hope for them now, he has scored above 30 runs already. But I believe he won't be able to take it to the victory.

Pakistan always surprise with their performance. In Pakistan's first innings, they were in a strong position when Shan Masood scored a brilliant century, and it looked like they would post a substantial lead. True to their unpredictable nature, they had a total collapse, losing five wickets for just fifteen runs.

While the bowlers made their contribution, the Pakistan batters are failing them yet again. It is yet another historic batting collapse from Pakistan as they are 65 runs for the loss of seven wickets chasing 211 runs. Babar Azam is still at the crease while the rest of the batters are struggling, with yet another defeat on the horizon.

It's 7 now and the tail entered the picture so it's just a matter of few overs to wrap this game from this point, this is the beauty of Test cricket the target will look small, but the process of getting there in the 4th inning is gonna make the batter's life hell, which highly depends on the venue.

I expect the 4th innings will end before reaching 100 runs, let's see.

Edit: 9 down, one more left.

If Pakistan can take a good lead in first innings and then bowl out West Indies quickly then Pakistan has a chance to win this test though its not easy to bat on last day of the test.   

I think removing Shan Masood from the captaincy was the right decision. As Pakistan Test captain, had one of the worst records. Shan captained team in 16 Test matches over the last three years but only managed to win only 4, while Pakistan lost the remaining 12. That gives him a win percentage of just 25% win percentage that a very poor as a Test captain. Shan masood batting also affted due the captaincy. Now he is playing only as a batter, and seems much more relaxed and has shown his quality by scoring a brilliant Test century in this match. Hopefully, he can continue performing like this without the extra pressure

I don't think a target of 211 runs is easy, especially on the last day of a Test match when the pitch usually becomes much more difficult to bat on. in the first innings, Pakistan got a good start but still couldn't erase the first innings trail by runs, that show how challenging the conditions are. Now, in second innings, Pakistan have already lost half of their team for just 57 runs, so the pressure is on the team. Babar Azam is playing a responsible innings, and Shan Masood is also at the crease. This partnership is the key to Pakistan's chances. If the West Indies manage to break it soon, I think they will have around a 90% chance of winning the match.

Pakistan lost by 90 runs which I think no one was expecting. West Indies were able to make 311 with Shai Hope 92 runs and Kadeem Hodge 84 runs providing the most of the runs in first innings, while 5/27 showing from Justin Greaves at the Pakistan end of the stumps did the rest. In chase of 211, Pakistan simply could not handle it, Babar Azam made a brave 58 runs off the stumps, but had to lose 15 runs off 5 wickets, with only three batters reaching double figures. Jayden Seales finished the rest of the way with 5/20. So, Pakistan bowling did its job but batting failed them. West Indies take a 1-0 lead in the series.
