Taufeeq Umar sealed in on a century as Pakistan constructed a strong lead on the 3rd day of the 2nd Test versus West Indies in St Kitts.
Pakistan sealed on 202-3, a lead of 251, as Taufeeq went to within three runs of a fifth Test ton.
At times, Taufeeq rode his luck as he directed Pakistan's charge at Warner Park.
The West Indies had battled through their tail but were finally terminated for 223 just before lunch time, passing the Greens a 49-run first innings guide.
The hosts began the morning on 184-8 with Kemar Roach and Ravi Rampaul heading strong.
The couple added in another 34 - and 60 in complete, the highest partnership of the match - before Roach left for 29.
Mohammad Hafeez as well as Taufeeq started out brilliantly with the latter looking specially amazing before lunchtime, reaching 39 not out from just 49 balls.
But Taufeeq was dropped twice before he achieved 13 and again on 94, as the West Indies contributed to their own desperate situation with a number of misfields.
Azhar Ali (53) made his second 1 / 2 century of the match, putting 76 with Taufeeq for the second wicket.
Pakistan will hope to wrap up the second Test any time play starts on Monday.
