West Indies initiated the third innings with a lead of nine runs on the second day’s morning session. They were cautious and gathered hundred runs while losing just a solitary wicket. However, Noman Ali broke through the middle order before the tailenders propelled them to a lead of 255 runs. In reply, Pakistan incurred early jitters as the openers departed early, making way for Babar Azam and Kamran Ghulam. The latter perished too, at the cusp of the 14th over before Babar’s hard-toiled 31 concluded with a fan waking up from sleep.
During the cusp of the 20th over, the cameras showed a boy sleeping during the course of the third session. At the same time, Babar was trying his best to see through the day without further wickets. But fortune had its say as the right-hander departed on the fourth ball of the 21st over from a length delivery outside the stumps from Jomel Warrican. The ball spun into the batter who closed the bat face at it but saw it go straight to Alick Athanaze at short leg. Right after, the same fan who was sleeping at the venue raised his finger out of nowhere, prompting the Twitterverse to laugh.
Sleeping, woke up perfectly!

Windies fight back stronger!
Dark time for PAK!
Was busy in some work & now after seeing the scorecard I just wanna say, it feels like the dark era of Paki cric has started again as PCT is all set to lose from WI. Bowlers conceded more runs, didn’t take early wickets, batsmen didn’t score runs.. Babar scored 31, +#PAKvWI
