Pakistan collapse for 120 in chase as West Indies post 311

The first test of the West Indies‑Pakistan series ended dramatically as the visitors were bowled out for just 120 while chasing 311. West Indies amassed 311 on the first day, thanks to a strong partnership between Shaai Hope (92) and Kevam Hodge (84).

Pakistan’s innings never found its footing. Ajan Avis and Imam‑ul‑Haq each fell for three, and Kemar Roach’s early strike sent Jayden Seales to the pavilion for a duck. Mohammad Rizwan struggled to 11 off 28 balls, and Amir Jamal’s 12‑ball stay yielded no runs.

Captain Babar Azam tried to keep his side in the game, scoring a gritty 58 not out from 107 balls with nine fours. However, the rest of the batting order offered minimal contribution, and the team fell short by 90 runs. The West Indies bowlers—Seales with five wickets, Roach and Greaves with two each—dominated the innings, securing a decisive series lead.
