This is Yasir's 17th appearance for Pakistan in a five-day match and he has already promised a lot with his killer instinct with the ball.

With a five-for in the first innings of the on-going first of the three match series between Pakistan, Yasir also became the second fastest-ever to reach the 100-wicket milestone.

Pakistan, after opting to bat first in the second-ever day-night Test against West Indies, posted a mammoth 579-run total on the board courtesy ODI captain Azhar Ali's triple ton.

West Indies, in their reply, were bowled out for 357 runs and Pakistan have now decided to bat again with nearly five sessions remaining in the match.

Earlier, Pakistan whitewashed the visitors in the three-match T20I and ODI series.
