West Indies vs Pakistan, 1st T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Shamar Joseph to Mohammad Haris, SIX, cheeky and six, Haris ends the innings on a high - low full-toss, slanting into the right-hander, Haris shuffles across, uses the pace on the ball and laps it over backward square leg for a maximum

Shamar Joseph to Faheem Ashraf, out Caught by Holder!! Another skier and Holder holds on, it ain't a clean catch, but West Indies will take it anyway they come. Was a full ball and Faheem couldn't get under the slog once again, hit low on the bat and went a mile up in the air - Holder settled under at long-on, the ball popped out, hit his chest, he tried to grab the rebound, once, twice and finally held on in the third attempt. Faheem Ashraf c Holder b Shamar Joseph 16(9) [6s-1]

Shamar Joseph to Faheem Ashraf, 2 runs, a lot of height on the slog, but it went straight up - was a tough catch, but Charles couldn't even lay a hand on the skier, as he ran to his right from square leg. Was a thick leading edge as Faheem was shaping for the whip onto the on-side

Holder to Faheem Ashraf, SIX, oh dear! Rutherford has dropped a sitter and he's also allowed it to hit the ropes on the full, should've been a wicket, but it's six instead. Took it far too casually, had plenty of time in front of the sweeper boundary, but he lets the ball burst through and hit the ropes on the full. Was the slower short ball and hit Faheem high on the bat as he tried to force it away off the back-foot

Shepherd to Nawaz, out Caught by Motie!! This is excellent bowling and Shepherd reaps the rewards - stuck to his wide line and made Nawaz reach out on the drive, he connects it sweetly, but there's no elevation on the shot, hard and flat - straight down Motie's throat at sweeper cover. Nawaz c Motie b Shepherd 9(8) [6s-1]

Shepherd to Salman Agha, 1 run, another wide yorker from Shepherd - squeezed square on the off-side for a single, brings up Pakistan's 150

Akeal Hosein to Nawaz, SIX, smashed, dropped short and wide of off - Nawaz rocks back and then muscles the forehand pull, generates plenty of power and sends it soaring over long-off for a maximum

Akeal Hosein to Hasan Nawaz, out Caught by Charles!! Well caught at deep cover and the plan works wonder for the West Indies - kept the length short and it was well wide of off, would've probably called as a wide had he let it go, but Hasan was committed into the shot, had to reach out, almost threw himself at the ball and he ended up carving it high over cover. Charles ran in from the deep, slid forward and completed a fine catch under the circumstances. Hasan Nawaz c Charles b Akeal Hosein 24(18) [4s-1 6s-2]

Holder to Hasan Nawaz, SIX, a clean strike and Hasan is dealing in maximums at the moment - Holder misses his length by an inch, allowing the right-hander to get under it, powerful wrists and he scoops it high over cover, the ball dropping just over the ropes

Akeal Hosein to Hasan Nawaz, SIX, thumped, tad too full and wide of off, it's right in the slot and Hasan drills the lofted drive, high over long-off for a maximum

Shamar Joseph to Hasan Nawaz, FOUR, nicely played, fuller length delivery outside off - Hasan leans across, plays with an open face and then slices the drive over cover, couple of bounces and over the ropes

Shamar Joseph to Fakhar Zaman, out Caught by Shepherd!! A second wicket for Shamar, he's on a wicket-taking spree this season - full and at the pads, Fakhar did play the pick-up whip over square leg, but he hasn't got it off the middle of the bat, came more off the lower half and he slightly scruffed the shot, straight into the hands of Romario Shephard at deep backward square leg. Pakistan have lost both well-set batters in quick succession. Fakhar Zaman c Shepherd b Shamar Joseph 28(24) [4s-2 6s-1]

Holder to Saim Ayub, out Lbw!! Saim Ayub has been given OUT LBW, looked adjacent, but he has reviewed, was shuffling across and was beaten by a dipping slower yorker, is it heading down leg? That's the only thing which can save him. No bat and UltraEdge confirms the same. Onto ball-tracking: Thre reds and it stays OUT. Nicely bowled by Holder, brought the variation into play and it was the dip that undid Saim's innings - struck him right on the toe, in front of middle and it would have taken out the leg-stump. Saim Ayub lbw b Holder 57(38) [4s-5 6s-2]

Jediah Blades to Saim Ayub, SIX, thumped, back of a length and well wide of off - Saim has room to free his arms and he then hoists it high over long-off for a maximum, expensive over from Blades - 20 came off it

Jediah Blades to Saim Ayub, 2 runs, fuller length delivery and well wide of off, Saim leans into the drive and places it wide of cover, comes back for the second and raises his 2nd T20I fifty

Jediah Blades to Saim Ayub, SIX, clobbered, a no-look hit and Saim has sent it soaring into the stands at deep mid-wicket, a slot delivery and Saim swung through the line, the connection is clean and the ball sails a long way over the ropes

Shepherd to Saim Ayub, FOUR, not well-timed but Ayub gets the boundary. 116.2ks slower ball angled across, Ayub swings through the line and he gets enough to clear mid-off. The ball bounces just inside the rope and beats a chasing Holder

Shepherd to Fakhar Zaman, 1 run, very full delivery outside off, Zaman squeezes the drive square of the wicket and brings up the 50-run stand

Roston Chase to Saim Ayub, FOUR, Hope lets one through his legs and Chase is disappointed. Fraction short around off, Ayub whips it in front of square - between deep mid-wicket and long-on. Hope gets across but allows the ball to escape through his legs

Shepherd to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, boundary to end the over. 125.6ks short of length delivery bowled into the surface, Zaman arches a little and upper cuts it over backward point, couple of bounces and over the rope

Roston Chase to Saim Ayub, 2 runs, 87.6ks slows it up and drifts it in, Ayub nudges it square on the leg-side and races back for the second

Shamar Joseph to Fakhar Zaman, SIX, first six of the night. Shamar goes pace off and pays the price. Needless! It was an off-cutter and Zaman charges down, gets to the pitch of the ball and launches it over long-on

Shamar Joseph to Saim Ayub, FOUR, lovely shot! That's high quality from Ayub. Nothing much wrong with the delivery - good length ball close to off, Ayub allows the ball to come and drives on top of the bounce with a straight bat. The ball races past Zaman..

Roston Chase to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, much needed boundary. Zaman comes down the track, converts it into a full toss and drives it straight down the ground. He hit that into the turf and the ball raced away..

Shamar Joseph to Sahibzada Farhan, out Lbw!! Shamar strikes with his second ball. Farhan goes but does not take the review with him. 144.1ks good length ball and it skids across the surface, Farhan is deep in the crease and he attempts a wild heave across the line, misses and is struck on the back leg, the impact was around middle and leg, ball-tracking had it to be clipping leg-stump. Sahibzada Farhan lbw b Shamar Joseph 14(12) [4s-2]

Akeal Hosein to Saim Ayub, FOUR, back to back fours. 97.9ks flatter and fraction short, Ayub is quick to pounce, he rocks back and pulls it in front of square. No one at deep mid-wicket to stop that

Akeal Hosein to Saim Ayub, FOUR, Ayub greets the spinner with a boundary. Fired quicker and at the stumps, Ayub sits down and sweeps it over square leg

Holder to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, short and Holder rolls his fingers across the ball, banged halfway down and though Farhan is a tad early into the pull, he gets enough of a top-edge for the ball to fly over short fine and almost travel the distance

Jediah Blades to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, Farhan and Pakistan are away. It was a poor delivery and Farhan does not miss out. 130.7ks strays down leg, Farhan just needed to get some bat on it which he does and the ball races to fine leg
