Before this game, Yousuf had hit three centuries and two fifties in five Tests against Pakistan, none of them on home turf. It was just the 15th time 114-Test veteran Inzamam has been dismissed without scoring.
This was Yousuf's fourth centuries in six Tests against West Indies and the first on home soil.
Yousuf, in his 71st Test, was dropped on 43 by Daren Ganga off Taylor in the crucial period just before lunch.
And he was also fortunate to survive a stumping appeal by left-armer Mohammad on 53.
Television replays suggested his foot was on the line, but Sri Lankan umpire Asoka de Silva surprisingly did not refer the decision to the third umpire.
But otherwise he played a spectacular innings, stroking 14 boundaries despite some movement and turn in the pitch.
