Greaves takes 5-0 in incredible Test bowling spell

Justin Greaves' figures of 5-27 eclipsed his previous best of 3-39 against Sri Lanka earlier this year

West Indies 311 (Hope 92; Ali 4-50) & 126-7 (Chanderpaul 35, Abbas 3-14)

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

Greaves, who is playing in his 17th Test, claimed his maiden Test five-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 wicket maidens - was all the more remarkable given he had bowled six overs earlier in the day for 27 runs without taking a wicket.

"When I came on captain Roston Chase just said 'continue to be disciplined in what you are doing' and to see if I can get some wickets for the team," Greaves said.

"The ball nipped around and I got some reward. Anytime I get the ball in hand the team looks to me to be that solid player for them [and] try to dig us out of situations.

"To get five wickets for the first time in Test cricket, I'm really happy, but there's still a lot of work to do in the game."

Pakistan captain Shan Masood was Greaves' first wicket at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad when he was bowled for 109 in the 64th over following a superb set-up.

Greaves had pushed the ball wide to the left-hander from over the wicket before he tailed a delivery back into Masood who played down the wrong line and inside edged on to his stumps.

Aamer Jamal had his middle stump uprooted in Greaves' next over as the seamer speared one through his defences.

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

West Indies reached stumps on day three on 126-7 in their second innings - a lead of 155 runs - to leave the match finely poised.
