🔙 Back in Blue! 🇮🇳🏏

After nearly two years away, Sarfaraz Khan is back in India's Test squad. 👏

His last Test appearance came in 2024, the same year he made his international debut. Although he travelled with the squad to Australia in 2024–25, he didn't feature in a single Test and was later omitted for the England tour.

Now, the prolific domestic batter has another opportunity to make his mark on the biggest stage. ⭐💙

🇵🇰 Pakistan bounce back to level the series! 💪

Pakistan defeat the West Indies to make it 1-1, ending a run of eight consecutive away Test defeats with a hard-fought victory. 👏

🏏 Abdullah Shafique was the architect of the comeback, producing a magnificent 160 and sharing a match-defining partnership with Babar Azam (88) after the visitors conceded a sizeable first-innings total of 344.

🌪️ The bowlers then took over. Sajid Khan and Ali Usman ripped through the West Indies batting line-up on a sharply deteriorating surface, reducing the hosts to a modest target of 75.

⚡ Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph struck early in the chase, but Babar and Shafique kept their composure to guide Pakistan home and square the series.

🇵🇰 Pakistan tighten their grip! 🔥

A disastrous final over capped off a dramatic Day 3 as Pakistan ripped through the West Indies batting line-up to seize complete control of the Test.

🌪️ Sajid Khan was once again the chief destroyer, while Ali Usman struck twice in the final over to remove Shai Hope, night-watchman Jayden Seales, and then Roston Chase on the penultimate ball of the day.

🏏 An encouraging 40-run opening stand from Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Kavem Hodge briefly steadied the hosts, but Pakistan's spinners turned the tide with relentless pressure and timely breakthroughs.

📊 Day 3 in numbers:
• Session 1: 67/4 (29 overs)
• Session 2: 54/4 (20 overs)
• Session 3: 103/6 (40.5 overs)

Pakistan head into Day 4 with one hand firmly on the match. 💪
