Player of the Match

Chill_e_Illahi: "@Ahsan: the top 4 run scorer for WI are no 9,10 and 11, and extras."

2.40pm Tea has been taken, so it's time for me to take a little break as well. Join Hemant for the start of Pakistan's second innings.

2.35pm Well, that was something! West Indies started this session after bowling Pakistan out for 230, but Sajid Khan demolished their top order with the first four wickets inside the first five overs. Then it was Noman Ali who chipped away. West Indies could have been out for much less but for the 25-run stand between Motie and Warrican and then the 21-ball stand between Warrican and Seales that cost a whopping 46 runs. Pakistan will now come out to bat again with a 93-run first innings lead.

Ahsan: "Top 3 run scorer for WI are no 9,10 and 11"

Here's a little nugget from Deep Gadhia from our stats team:

Best Run-Rate for the 10th wicket partnership (Min 40 runs) Jasprit Bumrah & Mohammed Siraj - 16.40 v ENG in 2022 Jayden Seales & Jomel Warrican - 13.14 v PAK in 2025 Trent Boult & Neil Wagner - 11.55 v ENG in 2013

25.2

Abrar Ahmed to Seales, OUT, And there it is! Seales is frustrated at himself, but the approach has served him well so far. He went for another slog sweep as Abrar goes full outside off. He slices it in the air and Rizwan gets under it in front of him to his left and takes the catch

JNT Seales c †Mohammad Rizwan b Abrar Ahmed 22 (13m 13b 0x4 3x6) SR: 169.23

25.1

Abrar Ahmed to Seales, SIX, Thwaaacked away! Seales continues to bring out the slog sweep as Abrar tosses this full outside off. Absolutely hammers this over wide long-on

END OF OVER:
25 | 10 Runs | WI: 131/9

24.5

Sajid Khan to Warrican, FOUR, On a length outside off and out comes the reverse-sweep again! Deep backward point was running across to his left but the ball gets through him for a boundary!
