West Indies had a decent lead but Pakistan came back well with the bat. It was their skipper who played a good knock and he was well supported by Mohammad Rizwan and Faheem Ashraf. They collapsed at the start of Day 4 and they eventually gave a target of 168. Jayden Seales was brilliant with the ball for the hosts. He became the youngest bowler to pick up a 5-fer for West Indies and he was helped by Kemar Roach. In the end, it was a very good performance.

When West Indies came out to bat, it was Kraigg Brathwaite who led the team with the bat as he scored 97 and was the reason that they managed a lead. Jason Holder was the other batter who played a fine knock. Pakistan's bowling was good with Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Abbas being the pick of the bowlers. Faheem Ashraf too was decent.

Story of the match, After opting to bowl first, West Indies bowled superbly to bowl out Pakistan for just 217. Jayden  Seales and Kemar Roach were stars with the ball as they had 5 wickets among them. For Pakistan, Fawad Alam and Faheem Ashraf were the only ones who got going and if not for them, they would have finished with a very low score.

We have just witnessed a thriller and who told Test matches are boring? The Men in Maroon have gone 1-0 in the 2-game Test series. A hard-fought win for West Indies in the end! They were looking down and out at 114 for 7 but the lower order came to the party and took them home. This will be good for their confidence going forward and they have opened their account in the second cycle of the WTC. Earlier in the day, West Indies were 3 down for 16 runs.  Then it was a partnership between Roston Chase and Jermaine Blackwood that hold the game for the Windies. The former departed and the wickets started tumbling. Blackwood went on to score a half century but he too departed. Holder played a small cameo and went back. Joshua Da Silva and Kemar Roach stitched a partnership but Da Silva departed at the wrong time. It was then the Heroics of Roach that came into play. He was well supported by Warrican and Seales and they won.

AND BREATHE!!! Take a bow, Kemar Roach! He kept his nerves and did what no one believed. Credit to Jayden Seales also to hang in there with Roach. TEST MATCH AT ITS BEST.

DRINKS!! Pakistan are one wicket away from winning this match. West Indies are 14 runs away from winning. Both the team have come a long way in this match and will not give away in the end. An exciting passage of play awaiits,
