Full commentary

Pakistan win by 74 runs. It's been the Babar and Hasan show. A career-best century for Babar Azam followed by a career-best 5 for 38 for Hasan Ali. There was much debate about how Pakistan were batting for 40 overs, but in the end they had more than enough after Babar and Imad Wasim added 99 in 11 overs. That's where West Indies let the game slip and then they go no sort of platform with the bat, falling to 75 for 6 before the lower order showed some fight. So that all means we have a series decider, back at this ground, on Tuesday. It should be a terrific end to the short series. We'll be back to bring you all the action but, for now, from Andrew McGlashan and Andrew Miller it's goodbye and thanks for joining us from wherever the world you are! See you next time.
