West Indies all-rounder Justin Greaves achieved his career-first Test five-wicket haul during Pakistan's first innings, finishing with figures of 5-27. The defining moment came through an extraordinary sequence where the 32-year-old took five wickets in consecutive overs whilst conceding no runs, providing a dramatic reversal after a preceding unsuccessful spell in which he bowled six overs without capturing a wicket and gave away 27 runs.

Greaves' performance proved decisive in restricting Pakistan to 282 runs against West Indies' opening innings total of 311. The hosts leveraged this advantage to reach 126-7 in their second innings by day three's conclusion, securing a commanding 155-run lead heading into the remaining two days of the Test match, positioning themselves favourably for a potential victory.
