After 26 years, West Indies have managed an away win against Pakistan. Whattttt an achievement by the young West Indian side.

32.5

2.6
Amir to Leon Johnson, no run, punched softly off the back foot to mid-off
2.5
Amir to Leon Johnson, no run, grassed! What are you doing Pakistan? Amir is livid, kicks the turf and then turns back and walks to his run-up. Aslam the culprit this time. Johnson living a charmed life. Back of a length delivery in the corridor outside off, Johnson tried to force it off the back foot. The outside edge went chest high to first slip. Aslam wasn't sure whether to take it the conventional way or the reverse cup way, in the end he puts it down
2.4

2.2
Amir to Kraigg Brathwaite, no run, well-directed bouncer. But not much venom, just 130kph on the speedgun. Brathwaite is coming off a hundred, spotted it early and sunk down to his knees
0.6
Amir to Leon Johnson, no run, back of a length around off, Johnson knocks it with an angled bat towards point
0.5
Amir to Leon Johnson, no run, dropped! Would you believe it? It is Misbah who has spilled one. That is not a good start, especially him being the captain. Somehow has to put that behind him and keep his men going. Fullish and in the channel around off, Johnson is not forward nor back, with feet stuck in cement he has a push, the outside edge goes low to third slip. Misbah does everything right, stayed down and got both hands, but failed to hang on. Johnson was squared up and closed the bat face as well, that might have put off Misbah
0.4
Amir to Leon Johnson, no run, back over the wicket for the left-hander. Good length ball on off, Johnson prefers to hang back in the crease and defends it down the wicket
0.3
Amir to Kraigg Brathwaite, 1 run, again, the length is on the shorter side, Brathwaite tucks it round the corner and gets West Indies off the mark
0.2
Amir to Kraigg Brathwaite, no run, no movement yet. That might be because the length was been on the shorter side. Back of a length and just outside off, Brathwaite shuffles to cover his sticks and then lets it pass
0.1
Amir to Kraigg Brathwaite, no run, straightaway starts from round the wicket. That angle worked for him in the first innings. Slanted it in around off, Brathwaite hangs back and bunts it to the right of Amir
