We will be back in a bit for the chase, stay tuned.

Haider Ali: Rizi bhai helps a lot when you go in. He tells how the pitch is behaving and how to play here. I have learnt that I don't have to throw my wicket. I think our bowlers are good and hopefully we will defend this total.

7.58pm Almost two hours after the first ball was bowled, Pakistan's innings comes to an end. Mohammad Rizwan and Haider Ali struck stroke-filled half-centuries to propel Pakistan to a daunting total. The West Indies bowlers were a bit unlucky as many boundaries came off the edges but at the same time, they were wayward in the line and the Pakistan batters duly punished them.

Drakes to Mohammad Nawaz, 1 run, Pakistan finish with 200. A slower bouncer around off, swivels it towards deep-backward square leg

Nawaz pulls out while the bowler was still in his run-up. Something off with the sightscreen it seems

Ahsan Butt: "If Nawaz continues to bat like this in T20s, I wouldn't mind if he replaces Imad for good!"

Drakes to Mohammad Nawaz, SIX, another slower one but this is too full and, therefore, right in the slot. Nawaz bends the back knee and smashes it over long-off

Drakes to Mohammad Nawaz, 2 runs, fuller outside off, Nawaz too aims for the straight boundary, but mistimes it to the right of long-off

Shepherd to Mohammad Nawaz, FOUR, another wide yorker, Nawaz slices at it, gets a thick outside edge that flies towards Odean Smith at fly slip/ finer short third man. He puts in the jump but all he can do is parry it towards the boundary
