that's the end of that. Gets a thick inside edge to square leg. No sooner than it hit the bat, Ramdin was off for the single without looking at his partner. Hassan Ali, who initially wanted to run to the stumps, lobbed the throw to Rizwan, who was backing up from point. He then ran to the stumps to whip the bails off with Ramdin nowhere in sight after being sent back

10.20pm It's official now. Pakistan are back at No.8 in the ODI rankings. As far as series victories go, it couldn't have come much easier for Pakistan. That isn't to take away anything from them. Batsmen, particularly Babar Azam, set things up match after match to give the bowlers cushion to go flat out. West Indies once again didn't have a plan to approach the chase. It meandered along till a point and once the asking rate escalated, they simply had no option but to go for broke and fell apart. Hope you enjoyed the coverage, cheers!
There were a number of records Babar Azam surpassed during the ODI series. Bharath Seervi with the statistical highlights
Presentation:
Do you want any prizes for guessing who the Man of the Match and the series would be? Babar Azam is likely to be charged for excess baggage on his trip back home after this tour. "I had confidence in my abilities that I'll deliver and break records," he says. "The plan was to bat till the end. Shoaib Malik told me hundreds don't come everyday, so that gave me the motivation to bat till the end and get to three figures. I want to continue finishing games and bat long for the team."
Azhar Ali: It was a much-needed hundred for me, but the most important thing is we wanted to win 3-0. Credit to the boys for coming up with exceptional performances. Three hundreds in a row doesn't come easy, congrats to Babar Azam for his efforts. Everyone fought like tigers, so it feels great. You can see in their eyes the hunger to perform. We are all training hard. The more we win, the more we'll blossom. New Zealand and Australia will pose a tougher challenge, but everyone's working hard and that's what you can do. ODIs have move forward, so as a team we need to keep going towards that.
Jason Holder: We haven't been up to scratch in this series. We just really need to work on all aspects of the game. It's difficult [to put behind administrative issues and concentrate on the game] but we are professionals, so we have to try and adjust. We need fresh faces to re-energise the dressing room. We have to start with some pride in the Tests. It won't be easy, Pakistan have been playing some good cricket.
"If I was Ramiz, I would ask Holder why he didn't play Gayle or Sammy." If only he had the powers, Usman.
Ali Mushaf: "What a spineless and spiceless performance by WI in this tour. Disappointed to not see a real contest." Couldn't get more accurate there. Lopsided T20I series, lopsided ODI series. Over to the Tests now.
saadkhleel: "Almost the same team lost 4-1 in England and now won 3-0. I guess its more to do with Windies' approach but still some good finds amongst the youngsters. The real test of Azhar's captaincy and our young guns is gonna be the series in AUS and NZ. Hope they carry the momentum in future."

Wahab Riaz to Alzarri Joseph, OUT
100 ODI wickets for Wahab! That would have got most tailenders. Bangs one in short from around the stumps, too quick for Joseph as he looks to pull, the bat face turns skywards as the top edge is taken easily by Shoaib Malik, who didn't have to move an inch at short midwicket. The end is near

Azeem: "Not sure if this is Mickey's good work or the youngster working out, But Pakistan looks deadly." Just to remind you, he was coach in England too. Impressing upon the point that it all looks good when a team wins.

Nawaz to Benn, OUT
as easy as eating chips for the fielder at short third man. Benn looks to play the reverse sweep, but the ball bounced a bit more to take the top edge as Sohail Khan, who it appeared was blinded by the lights, took it comfortably in the end.
