Dubai: Senior pro Marlon Samuels once again flattered to deceive for West Indies. On the third day of the day-night Test when WI were hoping to mount an effective challenge to Pakistan's 579-3, Samuels fell after starting off well at the Dubai International Stadium on Saturday.

At the dinner break, WI were 211-3, still needing 169 runs to make Pakistan bat again. Darren Bravo (56) was holding the WI line-up.
Samuels had put together 113 runs for the third wicket with Bravo. But just when it seemed like there would be some more fight in the tank, Samuels stood still in the crease to a ball that darted in from pacer Sohail Khan. Samuels was stationery and was caught plumb in front for 76.
