Cricinfo – A sensational all-round effort from West Indies’ battery of fast bowlers swept aside a sorry Pakistan batting line-up in little over a session, securing a crushing 90-run win in Tarouba to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. Jayden Seales’ five-wicket haul led the way as his fast bowling compatriots backed him up, skittling Pakistan out for 120 in just over 40 overs.

Chasing 211, Pakistan were hopelessly outgunned from the outset, losing three wickets before lunch, with Babar Azam limply hanging on until he swiftly, and inevitably, ran out of partners at the other end. It inflicts a record extending eighth consecutive away Test defeat for Pakistan, and ensures West Indies cannot lose the series.

Pakistan’s well-established inability to chase in the final innings meant there was jeopardy right from the outset on the fourth day as Shamar Joseph and Kemar Roach looked to add more runs to a priceless eighth-wicket partnership. Having come in at 93 for 7, they had extended the lead to 155 overnight. The day began with a wayward over from Mohammad Ali and equally lacklustre keeping from Mohammad Rizwan, with four byes and a dropped catch by the keeper gifting the hosts a bonus eight runs to kick things off.
