Carlos Brathwaite, West Indies skipper, won the toss and elected to field. "We have been very successful in chasing in the past. The ball also gets wet here.

Pakistan are off to a slow start. Carlos Brathwaite and Samuel Badree opened the attack for West Indies. The legspinner managed to uproot Sharjeel Khan's stumps. However, Khalid Latif has taken the attack on the visitors by playing some audacious strokes.

Babar Azam and Khalid Latif have put on their second consecutive half century stand in as many matches in the ongoing series to seize the initiative from the West Indies. They have played calculated strokes in their stand to put Pakistan in command.

Just when it seemed that Pakistan had taken control of the proceedings, Carlos Brathwaite strikes to dismiss Babar Azam. The second wicket stand comes to an end, having added 54 runs.
