West Indies vs Pakistan, 1st ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Naseem Shah to Jediah Blades, out Bowled!! 140.3 kph, full, fast, at the base of the sticks and Jediah Blades has no chance there. That was superb from the bowler. He got the ball to tail in and Jediah Blades was too late to get the bat down. Naseem Shah ends with a three-wicket haul. Windies are bowled out with one over to spare. They won't be happy as Pakistan get into a huddle. They will be the happier lot going into the break. Jediah Blades b Naseem Shah 0(1)

Naseem Shah to Motie, out Bowled!! End of a fine cameo. The ball is reversing. Remember the new rules are in use. Post the 34 over mark, only one ball has been used from both the ends and the ball is reversing. That was full, tailed in, Motie sat down to paddle it but failed to wood it. The ball crashed into the base of the sticks. 9th one down. Naseem Shah has been expensive but will be happy with the wicket. Motie b Naseem Shah 31(18) [4s-3 6s-2]

Naseem Shah to Motie, SIX, fuller length delivery, well wide outside off, Motie gets under the ball and slices it over deep point. That was a strong hit by the southpaw. He managed to get under it and cleared the ropes so easily

Naseem Shah to Motie, FOUR, again two fielders converge, again none manage to stop it. Was dragged short, Motie played the pull and managed to find the gap. The man from deep mid got there, but the ball went along with him to the cushion as his body couldn't stop the momentum

Shaheen Afridi to Jayden Seales, byes, FOUR, the ball hits the artificial grass just wide of the sticks and beats the keeper. That cushion of grass is there to protect the stump mic and the ball changed direction after hitting it. It lobbed well over the keeper. Again, Shaheen Afridi nailed the yorker but would be so disappointed

Shaheen Afridi to Shamar Joseph, out Bowled!! The yorker nailed by the bowler and Shamar Joseph has to go. Was curled in by the bowler and the batter was late on getting his bat down. The ball shattered into the sticks. 8th one down. That is wicket number 4 for Shaheen. Shamar Joseph b Shaheen Afridi 8(8) [6s-1]

Shaheen Afridi to Shamar Joseph, no ball, SIX, full toss, friendly high and has been muscled over deep mid. That was hit hard and flat by the batter. Has been called as a no-ball by the umpire

Naseem Shah to Shamar Joseph, leg byes, 1 run, They have taken the review. The onfield call was not out. It hit the back leg, don't think there is bat on it. But is it landing in line? I don't think so. They also stole a bye. The impact was outside the line of the sticks and the right call was made at the first place. Pakistan lose a review

Naseem Shah to Motie, SIX, the southpaw is playing a gem here. Was a shortish delivery, the batter backed away over and slammed it hard. Motie showing his batting skills now

Sufiyan Muqeem to Motie, FOUR, good hit again! Steps back to a shortish ball and slams the pull over the bowler's head. Good powerful hit by the batter

Sufiyan Muqeem to Motie, FOUR, powered away and just short of the man at deep backward square fielder. Was a tossed up delivery down on to the pads and Motie employed the slog sweep

Naseem Shah to Roston Chase, out Caught by Babar Azam!! Mistimed hit and Chase is gutted. He has to depart. Walking back with a dejected look. He batted well but has to go now. Massive strike for the visitors. Was a length delivery and angled in. Chase wanted to go aerial but could never get distance on the shot. Roston Chase c Babar Azam b Naseem Shah 53(54) [4s-4 6s-2]

Naseem Shah to Roston Chase, FOUR, two fielders converge, one comes up with a clumsy dive but it doesn't help. Was a length delivery, on the pads, angled in and Roston Chase heaved the ball away wide of the man at deep square. The fielder got there but failed to pull it back

Naseem Shah to Roston Chase, leg byes, FOUR, poor delivery down on to the leg, Roston Chase looks to tuck it fine but the ball goes off the hips and goes very fine for four leg byes

Sufiyan Muqeem to Roston Chase, FOUR, tossed up delivery, Roston Chase sits down, gets on top of the bounce and slog sweeps it for a four

Shaheen Afridi to Shepherd, out Caught by Shafique!! Afridi takes another wicket. The hosts are in tatters. Was a slower ball, Shepherd wanted to go big but got it off the outer-half of the bat. Was a simple take in the end. Windies would have loved the big man to continue but he has to go. Afridi scalps another one. In a bit of disarray. Shepherd c Shafique b Shaheen Afridi 4(10)

Shaheen Afridi to Roston Chase, SIX, the ball disappears! Was a fuller length delivery, angled in, Roston Chase gets under it and smokes it away

Shaheen Afridi to Shai Hope, out Caught by Rizwan!! Massive wicket! The skipper is gone. Was a length delivery, outside off, slower one, Shai Hope looked to flay it away but failed to pick the slower ball. The ball went off the edge and the keeper behind the sticks completed an easy catch. Second wicket off the day for Shaheen Afridi. But just like the first, very vital for Pakistan's cause. Hope was set but has to go now. Shai Hope c Rizwan b Shaheen Afridi 55(77) [4s-4]

Shaheen Afridi to Shai Hope, FOUR, angled in, slower, shorter, the bowler followed the batter but Shai Hope pulled it wide of short fine after waiting on that delivery angled in at the body. 200 up

Naseem Shah to Shai Hope, 1 run, backs away to a length delivery and gets an inside edge on to the on-side. They get a single. Fifty for Shai Hope. The skipper needs to continue from here

Saim Ayub to Roston Chase, SIX, beautifully struck! Tossed up outside off, Chase reaches out with his long levers, hits with the turn and cracks it away over extra cover. Such is the contact that it sails over the ropes

Saim Ayub to Roston Chase, FOUR, shouts of "catch" but it goes over the fielder! Chase gets low, it's a flat length ball and he gets the sweep away over backward square

Saim Ayub to Shai Hope, 1 run, slightly short of a length outside off, Hope punches off the back foot to sweeper cover

Salman Agha to Roston Chase, FOUR, nicely played reverse-sweep! With Salman switching to over the wicket, the threat of LBW isn't there, it's tossed up outside off and he gets it away past backward point

Salman Agha to Rutherford, out Caught by Saim Ayub!! Doesn't get the elevation he wants and hits it straight to extra cover! Round the wicket, full delivery around off, Rutherford looks to go inside out but fails to get under it. Length was probably fuller than ideal for that shot. It goes flat to Ayub who makes no mistake. Rutherford c Saim Ayub b Salman Agha 10(19)

Salman Agha to Shai Hope, FOUR, gets under the ball, takes the aerial route and launches it over mid-off. Good hit. Played the field well to get a vital four for his team

Saim Ayub to Shai Hope, FOUR, just wide of the man at backward square! That was tossed up, down on to the pads, Shai Hope sat down and muscled the sweep past the fielder. Was aerial but in the gap

Salman Agha to Shai Hope, FOUR, fuller length delivery, well wide outside off, Shai Hope looks to drive and gets an edge. He threw his hands at it but no slips meant he was never going to be in trouble. Boundary added

Saim Ayub to Lewis, out Caught by Shaheen Afridi!! The wicket-taker in Ayub has delivered. Lot of air on the ball, Lewis looked to go big but only managed a lot of height on the shot. The ball went aerial and stayed up for a long time. Afridi got to the ball, circled under it and managed to grab it with his fingers pointing skywards. He didn't look steady while being under it. But did well to get his hands in the right position. Third wicket down. Ayub has struck in his third over. Lewis c Shaheen Afridi b Saim Ayub 60(62) [4s-5 6s-3]

Saim Ayub to Lewis, FOUR, and gets it wide of the man at short fine. Was pulled down as that was on the pads. The man from deep square tried to fetch it but failed to stop it

Faheem Ashraf to Lewis, FOUR, bad bowling this. Was dropped short, no pace, Lewis gets back and plays the pull over mid-wicket for a four. This time landed well inside the ropes

Faheem Ashraf to Lewis, SIX, fifty for Lewis! That was a short ball, Lewis got on top of the ball and played the pull into the wind. The ball kept sailing away and landed well over the deep square fence. That was hit off the sweet spot. The boundaries had dried up a little and Lewis got hold of the bad ball to put it away

Sufiyan Muqeem to Keacy Carty, out Caught by Salman Agha!! Soft dismissal. Full toss, down leg, the batter looks to paddle it but plays a half baked shot. The top-edge was gobbled up by the slip fielder running back. Windies have lost a wicket against the run of play. Keacy Carty has thrown it away here. He was too lazy in playing that paddle and has to pay the price. Sufiyan Muqeem gets his first. Keacy Carty c Salman Agha b Sufiyan Muqeem 30(39) [4s-3]

Salman Agha to Keacy Carty, FOUR, tossed up delivery, outside off, the batter looks to drive and gets an edge. The man from short third man dived but don't think was a clean one. The third umpire had a look but was a sloppy effort. Boundary signalled

Sufiyan Muqeem to Lewis, SIX, that couldn't have been what he said. Dragged down short on off, Lewis picks the pace nicely, pulls hard and sends it against the wind over the midwicket boundary

Saim Ayub to Lewis, FOUR, gets down on one knee and sweeps it to the boundary! Drifting in on middle and leg, he picks line early and responds with the right option

Saim Ayub to Keacy Carty, 3 runs, nicely played. Waits in the crease, plays late and steers it fine past slip. A valiant effort from Shaheen saves a run

Naseem Shah to Lewis, FOUR, wrong line and punished! It's a length ball straying down leg, Lewis rolls his wrists, glances it fine and it runs away. Was the cutter from Naseem but couldn't control it properly

Naseem Shah to Lewis, FOUR, hammered! Full outside off, 139kph, and Lewis blasts it to the left of mid-off with a powerful swing

Shaheen Afridi to Lewis, SIX, pulled into the stands! Hip-high delivery from back of a length, Lewis swivels across, picks it up and deposits it over fine leg

Naseem Shah to Keacy Carty, FOUR, streaky boundary! Cutting in off a good length on middle, Carty jabs in front of the body with his front foot going nowhere, gets a thick inside edge and it runs away fine

Shaheen Afridi to Keacy Carty, FOUR, squirted away in the gap! It's overpitched outside off, Carty goes for the drive, doesn't move his feet but the timing is good and so is the placement. Runs away through the gap at point

Shaheen Afridi to Brandon King, out Caught by Babar Azam!! Loose shot and gone! First-over Shaheen is back! Full outside off, going with the angle from over the wicket and King chases it without any footwork. Plays a loose drive in the air and it's a simple catch at cover for Babar. Shaheen strikes his pose as after blowing a kiss. Brandon King c Babar Azam b Shaheen Afridi 4(5) [4s-1]

Shaheen Afridi to Brandon King, FOUR, now some swing, but it's a low full toss on the pads. It shapes in, King flicks it in the air and gets it away to the midwicket boundary
