Misbah-ul-Haq scored a 39th Test half-century on his final appearance as Pakistan were bowled out for 376 on day two of the decisive third Test against the West Indies.
The 42-year-old Pakistan captain, who has announced this tour will be his last, played his part in an attritional innings from the visitors, occupying the crease for 146.3 overs.
Misbah was given a guard of honour on his way to the crease, when the score was 177-3, and, after being dropped on 0 by wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich, went on to reach a half-century in 144 deliveries.
Misbah made 59 before he became one of four victims for Roston Chase.
Younis Khan, who is also retiring after the tour of the Caribbean, added just eight runs to his overnight 10 not out, but Azhar Ali completed a 14th Test century - and second of the series - before also departing to Chase (4-103) having made 127.
Wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed made 51 as the tourists put on 54 runs for the last two wickets.
West Indies openers Kraigg Brathwaite and Kieran Powell safely negotiated 11 overs in the evening, reaching stumps with the score 14 without loss.
