Hooper spills a catch fielding at slip

Mervyn Dillon got the early breakthrough when Taufiq Umer popped a delivery that cut in sharply to Daren Ganga at short-leg to leave Pakistan 21 for one in the seventh over.

But Hooper was one of four fielders to let the advantage slip through their fingers by dropping Afridi at second slip off the bowling of Dillon when the batsman was on 29.

The Windies skipper also suffered a missed chance off his own bowling when Corey Collymore put down Afridi at mid-off after the opener had accumulated another 50 runs.

Afridi was given his first life after scoring just four by Ryan Hinds at third slip from a Pedro Collins delivery.

Dillon saw the first of two chances to go down off his bowling when Dinanath Ramnarine put down a difficult chance at gully when Afridi had added nine more to his score.

Ramnarine, who replaced the injured Sherwin Campbell, had a morning to forget when Afridi struck two sixes and a four from the last over of the session from the leg-spinner.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul added to the West Indies' mounting injury woes by departing from the field with a swollen thumb after trying to cut off the ball at point.

But the injury does not appear to be serious enough to prevent him from batting.
