Day five report

 

Yasir Shah (pictured) claimed six wickets as Pakistan wrapped up a seven-wicket win over the West Indies in the first Test at Kingston.

Shah took six for 63 for his ninth career five-wicket haul as the hosts lost their final six wickets for just 42 to be dismissed for 152 and leave Pakistan chasing just 32 for victory.

The tourists wobbled briefly as they lost three wickets but never looked in any real danger of losing and captain Misbah-ul-Haq wasted little time in striking back-to-back sixes to lead his side to victory and a 1-0 series advantage.

After the Windies resumed on 93 for four, Vishaul Singh shouldered arms to Mohammad Amir and was bowled for nine and nightwatchman Devendra Bishoo soon followed, edging Mohammad Abbas to slip before Abbas had Shane Dowrich lbw without scoring two balls later.

Wahab Riaz removed Jason Holder for 14 and Shah then cleaned up the tail.

Azhar Ali, Ahmed Shehzad and Younus Khan then all fell cheaply but Misbah quickly ensured the target was reached with no further mishaps. 

Day four report

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq became just the sixth man in Test history to be stranded on 99 not out at the end of an innings during his farewell series in the West Indies.

The 42-year-old has already signalled his intent to retire from international cricket after the tour of the Caribbean and he looked on course for the 11th Test century of his career in Kingston.

However, having opted against returning for a third run when on 97, he watched helplessly from the other end as last man in Mohammad Abbas was pinned in front and Pakistan were dismissed for 407, giving them a first-innings lead of 121 in the opening Test of a three-match series.

Misbah joined Geoffrey Boycott, Steve Waugh, Alex Tudor, Shaun Pollock and Andrew Hall in the unfortunate club of unbeaten players stranded one shy of three figures.

The tourists began the day just 85 runs in arrears and the efforts of Misbah and wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed (54) soon had them ahead, and then leg-spinner Yasir Shah took centre-stage to reduce the West Indies to 93 for four at the close of day four.

Yasir claimed all four wickets to fall, including that of opener Kieran Powell for 49, as the hosts went to stumps still trailing by 28 runs and facing a battle to avoid defeat on the final day at Sabina Park.

Day three report

Younis Khan became the 13th batsman, and the first from Pakistan, to reach 10000 Test runs on day three of the first Test against West Indies at Sabina Park.

Younis, who will retire at the end of the series, reached the landmark on his way to 58 in a game that looks destined for a draw after significant time lost to rain.

Younis and Babar Azam (72) shared a partnership of 131 for the third wicket before both fell in quick succession as Pakistan reached stumps on 201-4, still 85 behind West Indies' first-innings 286 all out.

Shannon Gabriel took both late wickets to give the hosts renewed hope.

Earlier in the day, Mohammad Amir took the final West Indies wicket to finish with 6-44, his best figures in Test cricket.

Day two report

Mohammad Amir claimed his first five-wicket haul for Pakistan since returning from his spot-fixing ban on a rain-shortened second day of the first Test against West Indies at Sabina Park.

Amir, who served a five-year suspension before making his international comeback in January 2016, took the wickets of Devendra Bishoo and Alzarri Joseph to go with his three scalps from day one for figures of five for 41.

But the left-arm quick could not dislodge Jason Holder, the Windies captain, whose unbeaten 55 saw them advance their overnight 244 for seven to 278 for nine on a day where only 11.3 overs were possible.

There was no play before lunch at the Jamaican venue due to the inclement weather but Amir was quickly into his stride once under way, taking the edge of Bishoo, who feathered behind for 28.

Windies captain Holder moved past his fifty with a six down the ground off Mohammad Abbas before Amir struck in the next over, castling Joseph with an inswinger.

But the rain set in once more at Kingston and, with the outfield soon becoming heavily waterlogged, play was abandoned for the day.

Day one report

A 118-run partnership between Roston Chase (pictured) and Shane Dowrich rescued the West Indies on the opening day of the first Test against Pakistan.

The hosts slipped to 71 for five before Chase (63) and wicketkeeper Dowrich (56) steadied the ship as the West Indies reached stumps on 244 for seven.

Kraigg Brathwaite fell in the second over when Mohammad Abbas had him caught at slip without scoring and it was 32 for three when Mohammad Amir removed Shimron Hetmyer and Shai Hope in quick succession.

Vishaul Singh and Kieran Powell were then dismissed to leave the West Indies in disarray before Chase and Dowrich came together.

Chase struck a six and seven other boundaries in a fluent innings from 151 balls, while Dowrich found the boundary nine times but both men fell with the score on 189.

It was then left to Jason Holder (30 not out) and Devendra Bishoo (23no) to compile an unbroken stand of 55 to take the hosts to the close.

Amir was the pick of the tourists' attack with three for 28 from his 19 overs.
