SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates (AP) Opening batsman Kraigg Brathwaite and Shane Dowrich lifted West Indies to within sight of a consolation win in the third test on Wednesday, and denying Pakistan a clean sweep.
West Indies bowled out Pakistan in the middle session for 208 to set up a target of 153, and was a tense 114-5 at stumps on day four. The visitors need 39 more runs for their first win in 14 tests and 18 months, and first win away from home against a major team since 2007.
Brathwaite, who carried his bat in the first innings, was yet again unbeaten on a composed 44 off 88 balls. Dowrich was 36 not out.
West Indies was a dodgy 67-5 when they came together, adding 47 runs.
Legspinner Yasir Shah (3-30) and Wahab Riaz (2-30) dented the West Indies run chase.
Pakistan, already leading the series 2-0, collapsed from 87-4 overnight to be all out with more than four sessions left in the match.
West Indies captain Jason Holder secured his maiden five-wicket haul with 5-30.
Azhar Ali top-scored with 91 and added 86 runs with Sarfraz Ahmed (42) before both fell to legspinner Devendra Bishoo (3-46) while attempting needless shots. Holder grabbed the last two wickets to finish off Pakistan.
