That's all from our side. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. See you soon.

Babar Azam: Rizwan and Haider Ali played handy knocks and the way Nawaz finished was outstanding. Our spinners bowled well and put them under pressure. We will sit and discuss what combination to play for the next game.

Nicholas Pooran: I think we gave away 20 runs more in the field and there were a few boundaries off the edges too. I loved the effort and energy from the guys tonight. We are a young side but it all comes down to execution.

Haider Ali is the Player of the Match: I rate my innings 10 out of 10. Rizi bhai supported me really well and asked me to build my innings. I got a lot of confidence from the way Rizi bhai was playing. The pitch was a bit difficult and was helping spinners, so we decided to take our chances against fast bowlers.

Time for the presentation ceremony.

Ashar: "All 10 bowlers got a minimum of 1 wicket each today."

9.50pm A massive win, by 63 runs, for Pakistan as they take 1-0 lead in this three-match series. The stage was set by their batters - Mohammad Rizwan and Haider Ali struck half-centuries before Mohammad Nawaz's cameo lifted them to 200. West Indies were never in the hunt during the chase. Nawaz and Shadab strangled them while Mohammad Wasim kept on smashing the stumps. In the end, West Indies were bowled out in 19 overs.

Mohammad Wasim to Thomas, OUT

a length ball angling in. Akeal pushes it at but the ball sneaks through the gap between bat and pad to clatter into the stumps. He finished with 4 for 40 from his four overs

Around the wicket

Mohammad Wasim to Thomas, 1 wide

fuller but way down the leg side. Rizwan underams it at the stumps and nails the direct hit but the batter was in

18.5
1
Mohammad Wasim to Hosein, 1 run

fuller on the stumps, clipped towards deep square leg

There's some delay here. Looks like a bail has been hurt while marking the guard. Akeal Hosein the culprit. He was marking his guard and ended up breaking one end of the bail, it remained stuck into the pitch as he pulled out the bail

Abdul Rehman: "Now 4 players are contestants of MoM"

Mohammad Wasim to Shepherd, OUT

an excellent yorker, starting just outside off and tailing in. Shepherd looks to dig it out but managed only an inside edge that ricocheted onto the leg stump

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Smith, OUT

now that's a comeback. The middle stump has been flattened. A slower one on a length on the leg stump, Smith once again looked to go big but missed it completely

Over the wicket

too full on the stumps, Smith goes inside out over mid-off and pockets four

17.3
1
Shaheen Shah Afridi to Shepherd, 1 run

Ripley's! Nawaz has dropped a simple catch. Fuller on the stumps, might have been a slower one. Shepherd went aerial but didn't get the distance on that. Nawaz at long-on went reverse cups but spilled it

17.2

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Smith, 1 run

a slower one, on a length around off, Smith was early into trying to hit it towards the leg side. Gets an outside edge towards third man

a slower length ball outside off, a swing-and-miss once again

16.1
Haris Rauf to Smith, no run

length ball, wide outside off. Smith swings at it but looks like he missed it. Rizwan thinks otherwise and convinces Babar to review it for caught-behind. Replays confirm there was no bat involved. Pakistan lose the review
