Pitch Report

It's a bit chilly, but another beautiful morning, thankfully no fog. The pitch has kept everyone in the game. It hasn't changed much, may be the cracks have slightly opened. The cracks have started to lose the edges. If you go fuller, cracks have broken up a bit. There's variable bounce due to that, we saw that when Pakistan were bowling.

Commentary

That brings us to the end of a memorable series. The one which will stay close to the hearts of the West Indies fans for a while to come. Among other things, it will be remembered for being a series where left-arm spinners had a ball. Jomel Warrican, Gudakesh Motie and Noman Ali — all have had a great couple of weeks.

According to Shan Masood, this loss should not deter Pakistan from continuing with the plan of producing raging turners. Although for now, their attention would shift to the ODI format with a tri-series set to begin in about 10 days time. And then, of course, we will have the Champions Trophy next. For West Indies, their next assignment is slated for the last week of May, when they play an ODI series in England. You will be able to catch all the action on Sportskeeda. For now, it is time for the pair of Darpan Tikiya and Pradeep to sign off! Sayonara!

11:17am local time [11:47am IST] - Both teams gather around the trophy and pose for the photographs. Obviously, West Indies looking like the happier lot.

Kraigg Braithwaite (West Indies captain): "I rate this very high. We have not played in Pakistan for a while. But to come here as a young team and do this is very special. There was always going to be a ball with your name. Hence, we needed to be brave. It was good to see the boys going through with the plan. It was important to keep that mindset. It was a great Test. Jomel (Warrican) always says that he is the best player of off spin in the Caribbean. Him and (Gudakesh) Motie made valuable contributions. Good to see Jomel pick up a fifer too. He has been in and out of the side for quite a bit. The wickets have been tough to bat on. But it has been quite an experience."

Shan Masood [Pakistan captain]: The only option was left in that was, bringing in the fast bowler to have a crack at it. Problem has been cleaning up the tail, we've seen that in South Africa and Australia, that has been the problem. Even in the lost game right now, we were in position to win. Just one bad performance won't wipe out all the hard work. Even when you fail, you get an opportunity to learn, it's about taking forward. It's game of all stakeholders, appreciate players by being thrown into conditions they are not accustomed to. We've won three matches of the four games. We were dominating the first hour of this test match too. We've seen encouraging signs, Saud got his fifty, even when I got the fifty, Babar played quite proactively as well yesterday. It's more about partnerships, it's all about those 30s and 40s, they contribute in helping win the team. Kraigg Brathwaite's knock was prime example.

Jomel Warrican is the Player of the Match and is also the Player of the Series! Here's what he has to say: "Spin is more important, the slower you bowl, the more effective it is. I used to my advantage. I just backed my game plan, I trusted my defence and rotated the strike when needed. Just believe, trust in your game plan, backed to win the game, once we batted well, we gave ourselves chance to win the game. Just variations and pace, hitting the same lengths, consistency is key."

11:05am local time [11:35am IST] - Time for the post match presentation.

Ishfaq: "WELL DONE ✅ WESTINDIES GREAT TO SEE YOU WINNING A TEST MATCH IN PAKISTAN SOIL"

West Indies win by 120 runs and draw the series 1-1.

Session summary: 20 overs, 57 runs, 6 wickets.

The last time West Indies won a Test match in Pakistan, Imran Khan, Gordon Greenidge and Malcolm Marshal were still a part of the playing XI for their respective sides. Pakistan were yet to win the World Cup. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were not even born. Hence, this victory is a very very special one for the Men in Maroon. Let's not forget, they were 38/7 on Day 1. But once again, the lower order bailed them out. Gudakesh Motie scored a half century that he will be telling his grandkids about. Jomel Warrican and Kemar Roach too made valuable contributions and got their team to a respectable total.

Then, the trio turned the heat on with the ball too and bundled the hosts out for 9 runs less than what West Indies had managed in the first innings. The skipper then stepped up in the second innings with an imposing fifty that the set the tone for West Indies to register the highest score of the series. Amir Jangoo, Tevin Imlach and Kevin Sinclair chipped in with valuable contributions. The visitors exhibited some really positive intent throughout. They punished every lose ball and ran like cheetahs between the wickets. As a result, Pakistan were set a stiff target on a wicket which offered a lot of purchase for the spinners.

Despite steadfast knocks from Babar and Rizwan, Pakistan never felt like being in the hunt. Warrican once again stood out with his guileful bowling. He used the angles well, got the ball to loop and drift in to pitch in the right areas and often, the surface did the rest. The odd ball held on with the arm, a few turned a mile. Of course, it was hard work for the batters. But Tevin Imlach, behind the wickets, looked unfazed. It is hard to recall a fumble from him on what was a raging turner. Pakistan needed something special today. However, the only considerable act of resistance was put up by Rizwan and Salman, who stitched together a 39 run partnership. Wickets fell quickly on either side of it. In the end, West Indies win by a comfortable margin of 120 runs. Special mention for Noman Ali, who became the first spinner to take a hat-trick for Pakistan in Test cricket.

WARRICAN HAS A FIFER!! He brings out the John Cena celebration and follows it up with the thigh-five to bid Sajid Khan goodbye. This is a victory that West Indies will remember for a long long time.

43.6 Jomel Warrican to Sajid Khan, OUT! CHOPPED IT BACK ON! It's all over, Warrican celebrates. West Indies win after 34 years in Pakistan! West Indies were remarkable as they also square the series, 1-1. A moment to cherish for West Indies, what a test match this has been. Spears the length delivery on the off-stump, Sajid tried to come down, decides to stay back but was late, gets an inside edge back on to the stumps.

Sajid Khan b Jomel Warrican 7 (15b, 0x4, 0x6)

43.5 Jomel Warrican to Sajid Khan, OH! Sharp turn and bounce. On a length on fifth stump, spun away viciously. Sajid goes back, decides to leave it alone at the last second.

43.4 Jomel Warrican to Sajid Khan, uses his feet for the length delivery, Sajid lofted it to deep point and they scamper through for a couple of runs.

Warrican brings out the John Cena "you can't see me" now.

43.3 Jomel Warrican to Sajid Khan, spears the length delivery in the channel, stays low. Sajid goes back to defend, but beats the outside edge.

43.2 Jomel Warrican to Sajid Khan, drops it short on the off-stump, Sajid went back and punched it to long-on, doesn't take the single again.

43.1 Jomel Warrican to Sajid Khan, skips down the wicket for the length delivery, Sajid trying to go inside out, but hits the splice of the bat to mid-on for no run.

Warrican in search of a fifer.

No. 11 Abrar Ahmed, RHB, strides out to the middle.

And the applause quickly turns into deafening silence. West Indies are now one wicket away.
