JAMAICA: Pakistan dominate West indies on Day 4, 1st Test, as Yasir Shah takes 4 wickets and is looking forward to a clean 5 wkt sweep.
Yasir Shah took 4 wickets against West indies in 9 overs, with West Indies 93-4 (28). Yasir took his first wicket of Kraig Brathwaite (10.1) by bowling him out on a quicker delivery off his very first ball in the spell. Secondly Yasir bowled Hetmyer off his tigerish comeback (20.3). After getting smacked for a six previous ball, he produces a monster ball to send Hetmyer back to the pavilion. Thirdly Yasir picked up the wicket of Shai Hope through the LBW system (24.2). Hope decides to take review, third-umpire decides to stay with original decision. Finally he took the wicket of Powell off the last ball of the second last over of the day before stumps. The well-set Powell had been chugged down. Slips in a googly does the job, as Younis Khan grabs the ball in slip.

Misbah ul Haq on the other hand was very unlucky. He remained not-out on 99 at the non-striking end as debutant Mohammad Abbas was trapped LBW by Roston Chase. Pakistan managed to close the inning off with a competitive 407 on board on Day 4.
