Pakistan take 1-0 lead

Despite Nicholas Pooran's valiant, unbeaten 62, the West Indies couldn't overhaul Pakistan's target of 158 on a sluggish wicket and slid to a seven-run loss. Meanwhile, Babar Azam top-scored for Pakistan with 51, with Mohammad Hafeez giving away just six runs off four overs.

Pooran on the move

Pooran cracked a couple of sixes and a boundary off Wasim to keep the Windies in the game. Or rather slim hopes of winning. West Indies need Pollard to smash a few here.

He also collected a couple of boundaries off Shaheen. Even though the paceman got one of the yorkers on the money but it wasn't enough to stop the batter from getting an inside edge that scurried to the fence.

35 off 2 overs. Can Pollard land a few blows?

Lewis suffers cramp

Unfortunately for the hosts, Lewis suffered a cramp and he is walking back to the pavilion. The physio came out and Lewis took some fluids but he couldn't continue. Huge blow for the home side. Pollard walks out with his team in trouble.

Stumps rattled

Hetmyer and Lewis tried to prop up the innings. Lewis even tonked a slower one from Wasim over mid-off. However, with the required rate climbing to over 10 an over on a sluggish surface, Hetmyer tried to play across the line against Wasim but could only hear the death rattle.

Hasan into the act

Hasan Ali is a fine bowler against the left-handers. He went slightly wide of the crease and cleaned up Gayle with a fuller length ball. The West Indies are in early trouble on a slow pitch.

A wicket of the second ball for Hafeez

Hafeez opens the attack and strikes early as he sends back Fletcher for a duck. The batsman fails to get his bat in line with the ball, which goes past the outside edge and makes contact with the stumps.

He also completed his quota of four overs, giving away a mere six runs!

134 for 2 to 157 for 8

Pakistan lost a slew of wickets after the break. Dwayne Bravo and Holder bagged two scalps each after the break. Holder also was helped by Shepherd's brilliance at long-off where he grabbed a catch out of thin air to send Maqsood back to the hut.

Pakistan were 134 for 2 when rain arrived. And ended up with 157 for 8. Stunning collapse. Holder finished with excellent figures of 4 for 26.
