*Azam and Azhar Ali added 120 for the second wicket*

#1 Younis Khan walks out to a guard of honour

*With rain a constant threat in this match, Younis may well be playing his final Test inning*

The day has finally arrived when Pakistan have to bid goodbye to two of their middle-order stalwarts, Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq. The former stepped in to bat at the closing stages of Day 1 when Babar Azam was dismissed for 55 by Alzarri Joseph.

The West Indian players formed a guard of honour for Younis and the veteran batsman walked through it as light descended at the Dominica.

The crowd applauded a wonderful career as Younis made his way to the wicket after shaking hands with Jason Holder. He remained unbeaten on 11 at stumps to bat for yet another day.
