That's all from our side. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. See you soon.

Babar Azam: Rizwan and Haider Ali played handy knocks and the way Nawaz finished was outstanding. Our spinners bowled well and put them under pressure. We will sit and discuss what combination to play for the next game.

Nicholas Pooran: I think we gave away 20 runs more in the field and there were a few boundaries off the edges too. I loved the effort and energy from the guys tonight. We are a young side but it all comes down to execution.

Haider Ali is the Player of the Match: I rate my innings 10 out of 10. Rizi bhai supported me really well and asked me to build my innings. I got a lot of confidence from the way Rizi bhai was playing. The pitch was a bit difficult and was helping spinners, so we decided to take our chances against fast bowlers.

Time for the presentation ceremony.

Ashar: "All 10 bowlers got a minimum of 1 wicket each today."

9.50pm A massive win, by 63 runs, for Pakistan as they take 1-0 lead in this three-match series. The stage was set by their batters - Mohammad Rizwan and Haider Ali struck half-centuries before Mohammad Nawaz's cameo lifted them to 200. West Indies were never in the hunt during the chase. Nawaz and Shadab strangled them while Mohammad Wasim kept on smashing the stumps. In the end, West Indies were bowled out in 19 overs.

Mohammad Wasim to Hosein, 1 run, fuller on the stumps, clipped towards deep square leg

There's some delay here. Looks like a bail has been hurt while marking the guard. Akeal Hosein the culprit. He was marking his guard and ended up breaking one end of the bail, it remained stuck into the pitch as he pulled out the bail

Abdul Rehman: "Now 4 players are contestants of MoM"
