Can West Indies inch past Pakistan today to keep the series alive? Or will it be it tonight? Find out with Sreshth, as he brings the chase in ten.

Owais Ahmad: "Anyone who watched the national t20 cup knows that Wasim is known for his scoop shots :)"

Abdul Moeed Kha: "This is the Beauty of Pakistani Cricket in every match there is a new performer new finisher."

Iftikhar speaks after the innings: "The ball is gripping, and the pitch is slow. We can defend 172, and we believe bowling is our strength. 172 looks enough on this pitch. You need to perform always as a professional, and my thought is the same. We enjoy playing in front of a crowd."

7.47pm So Pakistan find a way to post a very healthy score of 172 after getting 31 runs off the last two overs. Vice-captain Shadab came to the rescue after they lost their way in the middle overs, as the batting card looked featured a set of starts which were ultimately thrown away. For West Indies, everyone except Drakes got a wicket, but Shadab's unbeaten 12-ball 28 helped the hosts to a brilliant score in the end.

Shepherd to Mohammad Wasim, OUT, run-out at the bowler's end! Wasim goes fishing at that full ball just outside off and misses, and they take off. But Pooran is quick to throw back to the bowler, who takes a few steps toward the stumps to find Wasim shot. Important for Pakistan, they have Shadab on strike

Drakes to Mohammad Wasim, FOUR, is that a No. 9 batting? We couldn't quite say that after that scoop. Expertly shuffles across off to loft that full-toss outside off, and places that between the keeper and the man at short fine leg

Zamat: "@Etikaf there are still 10 balls to go and still some firepower left."

Thomas to Iftikhar Ahmed, OUT, edged and gone! Nope, not yet despite the umpire giving it out, since Iftikhar has reviewed. Fullish ball in the channel outside off, and he went for a half-drive-half-push while playing away from his body. UltraEdge shows a tickle off the outside edge, and an easy catch is taken by the keeper. It looked like Iftikhar reviewed because he had nothing to lose, since he nearly fumed after Pooran completed the take. Pakistan crumbling here

Thomas to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX, six over deep midwicket! Iftikhar trying to make for Asif's absence. Stays deep in the crease to this short of a length ball on off, and swivels while pulling that bang. Can he take Pakistan close to a big score?

Humza: "Hoping to see M.Wasim batting today :) "

Shepherd to Asif Ali, OUT, excellent catch by deep midwicket! Powell the man there. He dives forward and low to complete the take. Asif gets a top edge while trying to pull that short of a length ball on middle, and plays with his front leg out of the way. But the ball balloons off his bat, and finds Powell, who looks charged up after that take. Pakistan lose a big-hitter with just four overs to go

Asif Ali c Powell b Shepherd 9 (9m 7b 0x4 1x6) SR: 128.57

Stays over the wicket to Asif

Talha yousaf: "Can we see an Asif Ali (you beauty) kind of innings again today?"
