PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Sajid Khan

So that's all we have from the first Test. Pakistan have registered their third straight win at home since they started to make conditions extremely spin-friendly. The second and final Test will also be held in Multan, and it will kick off in six days time. Do join us then. For now, it's goodbye!

Almost half the opening day was lost due to foggy weather, but this Test has still ended in around two and a half days. Despite the biting cold in Multan, the groundstaff managed to dish out a raging turner and made life very difficult for batters. In such conditions, the 141-run partnership between Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan in the first innings was probably the difference in the end. West Indies also didn't have the relentless spin threat that Pakistan did from both ends. While Jomel Warrican was superb with his control - especially in the second innings - the other two spinners couldn't land it in the right areas consistently. The trio of Sajid, Noman and Abrar were much better in that regard.

Shan Masood | Pakistan captain: As long as we get 20 wickets and we're able to put good performance, we'll be happy (with the pitches). It also helped with us adding Abrar as well. He bowled well along with Sajid and Noman. We didn't know if it was going to turn from ball one in this weather. We were quite surprised. A day before the game we spoke that once a batter gets in, they have to go big. Rizzi and Saud did that. If we want to be one of the best sides in the world, there are a lot of things we can improve. When you win it's easy to get on the high happy ride and be satisfied with it. But you're never satisfied.

Kraigg Brathwaite | West Indies captain: We allowed them 50-60 runs too many in the first innings. We can take a lot from how Warrican bowled. Was the slowest out there. He brought the batsmen forward which was important. We allowed back foot shots in the first innings. We also saw how Alick played. Just have to believe in ourselves. Important to be positive on these type of pitches - looking to score always. It was spinning from Day 1. Jayden will be a legend for sure. 300 Test wickets no doubt. One of the best I have seen a West Indies pacer bowl in the subcontinent. He's a star.

Sajid Khan | Player of the Match: Credit to Aaqib [Javed] bhai and the management. Man of the Match should be Rizwan and Saud for the knocks in the first innings, and also Masood in the second. There was a good amount of turn in the pitch. Spoke to our bowling coach after first innings - I conceded runs later in the spell. Slowed the pace down further in the second innings and controlled runs better.

Pakistan in their second innings started well with Masood making a fifty but from 109/3 they slipped to 157 all-out as Warrican registered a seven-fer - his best figures in Tests. A target of 251 was set but West Indies apart from Athanaze did not show enough technique to counter the spinners. Sajid took his fourth Test fifer and finished with 9 for the match. Abrar Ahmed who started the second innings was on a hat-trick before ending up with four. All 20 wickets were taken by Pakistan's spinners and just one over of pace was bowled in the game which is the lowest for them in a Test. A low-scoring game but one that moved at rapid pace after play did not happen on the first session on day one. Once again Pakistan doing well when the pitch aided spin and that will be the pattern going forward into the next game as well. Stay tuned for the presentation...

14:12 Local Time, 09:12 GMT, 14:42 IST: Handshakes and hugs from both sets of players. Umpire Richard Kettleborough has a smiling chat with Abrar Ahmed. Now Sajid Khan is joined by Rizwan and Babar in doing the thigh-five. Sajid has the ball as he leads the team off. Another turner and Pakistan have reaped the rewards of all the hard work before the game as they turned the pitch into a spinning track with the Greenhouse setup. And ever since ball one when Motie got one to turn, the spinners were in play. But it was Seales on day one who initially struck to leave Pakistan at 46/4, then Saud and Rizwan got together and added 141 which proved crucial. West Indies fought back to bowl Pakistan out for 230 from there. West Indies in reply did not start well but the lower-order batted aggressively and added quick runs as they folded up for 137, giving away a lead of 93.

36.3

Abrar Ahmed to Warrican, out Bowled!! Gone now. Pakistan win. It's tossed up on off, Warrican as he did so successfully in the first innings, goes for a big reverse-sweep with the back of the bat, under-edges it back on the stumps. Pakistan go 1-0 up. Warrican b Abrar Ahmed 0(3)

Abrar Ahmed to Warrican, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

36.2

Abrar Ahmed to Warrican, no run, so nearly gone. Slower on off, Warrican with a shuffle looks to defend, the ball nutmegs him and just goes wide of leg-stump

36.1

Abrar Ahmed to Warrican, no run, wow! Extra bounce saves Warrican. It's the tossed up googly outside off, Warrican goes for a big slog and misses, Rizwan takes it well as it bounces wide and over off-stump

Two slips, legslip and a short-leg for the hat-trick ball.

35.6

Sajid Khan to Jayden Seales, no run, tossed up full on leg-stump, Jayden Seales drills it back to Sajid Khan, who threatens to shy back

Two slips in.

35.5

Sajid Khan to Jayden Seales, no run, flat good length outside off, Jayden Seales goes on the back foot to defend to cover

Jayden Seales, left handed bat, comes to the crease

35.4

Sajid Khan to Athanaze, out Lbw!! End of a good knock. Drifting in full on middle, as it lands it rushes through straight, beats the forward defence of Athanaze. Rapped low on the pad and that's three reds. Athanaze wastes a review. Yet another fifer for Sajid Khan who gets thigh-fives from Rizwan and a few others. Pakistan on the brink now. Athanaze lbw b Sajid Khan 55(68) [4s-7]

Sajid Khan to Athanaze, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Given out LBW. Athanaze reviews. This looks gone. OUT.
