Scorekeeper

West Indies all-rounder Justin Greaves took five wickets without conceding a run in an incredible spell of bowling on the third day of the first Test against Pakistan.

Greaves, who is playing in his 17th Test, claimed his first five Test wicket haul to help dismiss Pakistan for 282 in response to West Indies’ first innings total of 311.

The 32-year-old Barbadian’s spell (five consecutive maidens) was all the more remarkable given that he had bowled six overs earlier in the day for 27 runs without taking a wicket.

“When I came in, captain Roston Chase just said ‘keep being disciplined in what you’re doing’ and see if I can get some wickets for the team,” Greaves said.

“The ball moved and I got a reward. Every time I have the ball in my hand, the team sees me as a solid player for them.” [and] He tries to get us out of situations.

“I am very happy to get five wickets for the first time in Test cricket but there is still a lot of work to be done in the game.”

Pakistan captain Shan Masood got Greaves’ first wicket at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad when he was bowled for 109 in the 64th over after an excellent build-up.

Greaves had pushed the ball towards the left-hander from over the wicket before playing a delivery towards Masood, who played it down the wrong line and inside it came close to his stumps.

Aamer Jamal had his middle stump ripped off in Greaves’ next innings when the seamer ran through one of his defenders.

Greaves then caught Ali Usman lbw before Mohammed Rizwan and Mohammad Abbas were caught behind as Pakistan lost their last seven wickets for just 38 runs.

The West Indies went into the third day at 126-7 in their second innings, a lead of 155 runs, to leave the match well balanced.
