THAT'S IT, ALL OVER

Following yet another hundred from Babar Azam at Number 3 and against the West Indies, Pakistan started off well in their defense of 282. Having reduced the hosts to 75 for 6, Pakistan looked all set to steamroll their opponents but for the defiant partnership between Alzarri Joseph and Jason Holder, where the latter compiled a stodgy fifty and kept the tourists at bay for long. It took a five-fer from Hasan Ali to end the frustration as Pakistan wrapped up the innings at the stroke of the 46th over. The batting and bowling has clicked well thus far and this Pakistan win now ensures that the final one-dayer will be an enthralling affair.

Toss Time, Folks

West Indies have won the toss and elected to field first. Team news and elevens in a bit..

Stuff Of Dreams

For many, Jason Mohammed is a brand new entity but the fact that he has been around for a long time is something many would not know. Here's something that you would like to read to know more about the powerful striker. Garfield Robinson's editorial for you

Warming Up

ODI Number 1 was all about Jason Mohammed and his heroics which helped West Indies steal Pakistan's momentum. After a disappointing 1-3 series loss at the hands of the tourists, the Windies had to begin well and that they did with some serious, damaging batting.

If the Windies manage to win the second ODI today, they would help themselves with a rare series win. The Sarfraz Ahmed-led side would need to redeem themselves quickly following the heart wrenching loss, some thing they didn't see coming after posting a 300+ total on the board.

Toss and action not too far away. You will find all the updates here, btw, this is Shirshendu and you can share your thoughts and ideas, and spark off an engaging chat with us by tweeting to @Shirsh9
