Lara added 137 with Shivnarine Chanderpaul for the fifth wicket before falling lbw to Hafeez after facing 215 balls and stroking 19 fours. Lara was at the crease on 28 when the day started, and added 137 with Shivnarine Chanderpaul for the fifth wicket.
Chanderpaul went on to make 81 but his demise, following cheap dismissals for Dwayne Bravo and Denesh Ramdin, left West Indies on 278-8. He was dropped in the gully by Hafeez on 48, with Umar Gul the unlucky bowler, and he made Pakistan pay by reaching three figures off 180 balls, with 16 boundaries.
But an attempted sweep shot led to his downfall - lbw to Hafeez - and with Lara back in the dressing room, Pakistan were quick to press home the advantage.
Dwayne Bravo managed only two before he went leg-before to Gul, the pace bowler's eighth victim of the match, and leg-spinner Danish Kaneria then dismissed Denesh Ramdin for a single.
Chanderpaul, who should have been stumped off Kaneria on 56, finally fell for 81 to leave West Indies on 278-8, still one run behind.
A brave 15 from Dave Mohammed and eight from Jerome Taylor could only delay the inevitable as Pakistan paceman Umar Gul took 4-99 off 29 overs and Shahid Nazir ended with 3-63 off 20 overs.A brave 15 from Dave Mohammed and eight from Jerome Taylor could only delay the inevitable as Pakistan paceman Umar Gul took 4-99 off 29 overs and Shahid Nazir ended with 3-63 off 20 overs.

It could have been even worse for West Indies but keeper Kamran Akmal fumbled a stumping chance after Chanderpaul, on 56, was lured down the pitch by Kaneria.
