FOUR! Kesrick Williams to Shoaib Malik. Half volley, off stump on the front foot sweeping, well timed past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Four more to finish as Malik sweeps the ball hard into the leg side and makes it 21 from the last over and 44 from the last two. That's pulled Pakistan over 200 as they finish up on 203-5. Four well played innings throughout helped Pakistan up to this massive total, in fact, it levels their highest ever T20I score. The Windies bowlers weren't at their best today, perhaps due in part to the injury of Permaul but the innings was littered with mis-fields and dropped catches which along with some slightly off colour bowling has left them facing a hugely imposing target. It comes down to the second innings now where an inexperienced Windies side will look to chase down this massive total against some top quality Pakistani bowling not least in Amir and Hasan Ali, it's a tough ask.
Kesrick Williams to Shoaib Malik. Yorker, to leg on the front foot flick, to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Walton.
Kesrick Williams to Faheem Ashraf. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed to long on for 1 run, fielded by Paul.
SIX! Kesrick Williams to Faheem Ashraf. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed over long off for 6 runs. Six for Ashraf as Williams misses his length and the batsman sends the ball down the ground for a maximum. That's seven consecutive boundaries in a row now for Pakistan as they have rocketed up to nearly 200.
APPEAL! Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Kesrick Williams to Faheem Ashraf. Length ball, down leg side on the front foot pulling, hit pad past third man for 4 runs, appeal made for L.B.W.
FOUR! Kesrick Williams to Faheem Ashraf. Yorker, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, well timed past third man for 4 runs. Ashraf gets his first boundary as he cuts away the wide yorker and he squeezes it past Samuels at short third-man who gets a hand on it but can't stop the ball running away to the ropes.
SIX! Rayad Emrit to Shoaib Malik. Full toss, to leg on the front foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep square leg for 6 runs. Six more for Malik, that's 20 in just four balls from him as Emrit switches off and throws down a low full-toss that is slapped hard over square-leg for another maximum.
FOUR! Rayad Emrit to Shoaib Malik. Length ball, off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep cover for 4 runs. Three consecutive boundaries for Malik as Emrit comes round the wicket but it results in the four more as he carves it through the covers well.
SIX! Rayad Emrit to Shoaib Malik. Half volley, off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Malik follows it up with six, picking up the half-volley and sending it into the stands over mid-wicket. Great cameo from Malik as he tries to boost Pakistan up to a huge first innings total.
FOUR! Rayad Emrit to Shoaib Malik. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, past deep mid wicket for 4 runs, mis-fielded by Williams. Again Williams lets one through his hands at deep square-leg. That's the second times he's let the ball go for four and he's kicking himself for it. A good pull shot from Malik nonetheless.
Rayad Emrit to Faheem Ashraf. Full toss, off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off for 1 run, fielded by Powell.

Keemo Paul to Faheem Ashraf. Half volley, middle stump on the front foot pushing, to short leg for no runs, fielded by Paul.
OUT! Bowled. Keemo Paul to Asif Ali. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, inside edge. Windies get their fifth as they reel Pakistan back in now, Paul bowls short on the off side and Ashraf's attempted pull resulted in him chopping the ball back onto his stumps. It will still be a big total for Pakistan but this is good from the Windies.
Rovman Powell to Asif Ali. Yorker, off stump on the front foot pushing, to short extra cover for 1 run, fielded by Mohammed.
Rovman Powell to Shoaib Malik. Slower ball half volley, middle stump on the front foot pushing, to long on for 1 run, fielded by Paul.
FOUR! Rovman Powell to Shoaib Malik. Full toss, middle stump on the front foot flick, well timed past deep mid wicket for 4 runs, mis-fielded by Williams. Some more poor fielding from West Indies as Williams lets the ball through his legs after Malik flicked the ball into the leg side. There has been a number of occasions now where we have seen mis-fields in this innings, not good enough from the Windies in that department.
OUT! Caught. Rovman Powell to Sarfraz Ahmed. Length ball, off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Fletcher. The captain holes out to long-on as he attempts to heave another over the ropes. He didn't get hold of it completely and it went straight into the hands of Fletcher.
FOUR! Rovman Powell to Sarfraz Ahmed. Half volley, middle stump on the front foot sweeping, well timed in the air under control past fine leg for 4 runs. That's a delightful stroke from Sarfraz who gets Pakistan to 150, paddling a sweep shot to backward square-leg after Powell overpitched.
Rovman Powell to Shoaib Malik. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, to long on for 1 run, fielded by Paul.

OUT! Run Out. Kesrick Williams to Sarfraz Ahmed. Yorker, off stump on the front foot working, to mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Walton, by Ramdin. Another mix-up with Talat at the crease and it's his wicket that falls this time. Walton steams in from the deep mid-wicket boundary to collect the ball on the edge of the ring and a pin-point throw left Talat in no man's land after Ahmed never set off for the second.
Kesrick Williams to Sarfraz Ahmed. Back of a length, outside off stump on the front foot driving, in the air under control to deep extra cover for 2 runs, fielded by Paul.
OUT! Caught. Hussain Talat to Samuel Badree. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, top edge to mid wicket, by Malik. Talat gets his first international wicket as West Indies slump to 60 all out, with Permaul not coming to the crease. A short ball which Badree tried to pull was mis-timed and Malik made the catch look easy at mid-wicket. It wraps up a brilliant game of cricket from a neutral's perspective, Pakistan record the second biggest win in T20I history worldwide, having won here today by 143 runs. Not only did they equal their highest ever T20I total with the bat, they then went on to bowl West Indies out for just 60, their lowest ever total and by some way too. It was the joint lowest score by a full member side, the fourth lowest in history. Not to mention, Pakistan only used three overs from their two premier bowlers, Hasan Ali and Amir, what an incredible game. West Indies were poor with the bat and threw their wickets away all too often, four batsman were out for a duck. Some horrible stats there for West Indies and some magnificent ones for Pakistan, they will have to do some serious thinking come tomorrow when they face off once more. Six of the seven bowlers took a wicket in that West Indies' innings as a real group effort prevented any partnerships from building. A huge statement has been made by the result tonight, West Indies will not want this to turn into a nightmare tour.
Hussain Talat to Keemo Paul. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed to long on for 1 run, fielded by Zaman.
Hussain Talat to Samuel Badree. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, outside edge to third man for 1 run, fielded by Khan.

SIX! Shoaib Malik to Samuel Badree. Off break half volley, outside off stump on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Badree gets six as he flicks Malik's half-volley over the ropes. He played that nicely and it was well over the head of the man at deep mid-wicket. In fact, that's Badree's first ever maximum in T20I cricket.
Shoaib Malik to Samuel Badree. Off break half volley, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, hit pad to leg slip for no runs, fielded by Ali.
Shoaib Malik to Samuel Badree. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the back foot pushing, to short extra cover for no runs, fielded by Amir.
OUT! Caught. Shoaib Malik to Kesrick Williams. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, outside edge to slips, by Azam. Williams goes for a golden duck as he drives wildly at one tossed up outside the off stump. He gets an outside edge and it goes into the hands of Azam at slip, Malik is now on a hat-trick and West Indies are eight down, they will only have nine wickets if Permaul is not present therefore this will be their last.
OUT! Caught. Shoaib Malik to Rayad Emrit. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, in the air under control to deep mid wicket, by Talat. Talat judges it perfectly on the boundary and takes the wicket of Emrit after he slog-sweeped Malik towards the squre-leg boundary. A good catch as Pakistan pick up their seventh wicket and break the biggest partnership of the innings, albeit just 18.
Shoaib Malik to Rayad Emrit. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, to extra cover for no runs, fielded by Nawaz.

FOUR! Shoaib Malik to Keemo Paul. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, outside edge past fine leg for 4 runs. Paul gets four with a genuine outside edge that squirts between the keeper and slip and runs away for four. West Indies' lowest ever T20I total is 79 and they are in serious danger of beating that unwanted record today, it really shows that this side are missing some of their best players.
