West indies put up a great fight with the bat on the final day but were on the losing end – by 56 runs – as Pakistan took the first day/night Test match between the two teams.
Darren Bravo led the batting with a magnificent 116 – his eighth Test century which came in over 406 minutes hours, off 249 balls and included 10 boundaries and a six.
This followed up his first innings of 87 – which was made in 398 minutes off 258 balls with nine fours and a six.
Match scores: Pakistan 579-3 declared (Azhar Ali 302 not out, Sami Aslam 90, Babar Azam 69, Asad Shafiq 67; Devendra Bishoo 2-125) and 123 (Sami Aslam 44, Babar Azam 21; Devendra Bishoo 8-49)

Amid a host of subpar performances in tests in recent years…this was a creditable showing.
Hope they can build on it. Can’t remember the last tine West Indies bowled out a test team for 123
and any bowler taking 8 wickets in an innings.
Hood job all around.
Yes it’s only good for them, it will teach them a lesson because there is to much unfairness in the Caribbean Cricket team
You all just start loosin first whitewash in t20 then whitewash in ODI,S now all you lose first test for how alu unfairly dismissed Sammy
Just start losing? Where have you been!!!
That’s for what wicb did to Darren sammy alu payin for it
@Nj – Ummmmmmmmm, what exactly did the WICB do to Darren Sammy?
If anything, it can be said the WICB – Dave Cameron was the WICB vice president back then – was one of the few entities that stood by and backed Sammy for most of his West Indies captaincy tenure even when it would seem that ‘nearly everybody else’ (including some of de so-called West Indies star players) was against Sammy saying “Sammy should not be the captain”, “Sammy cannot make the team as a player”, “Sammy unbalancing de team”, “Sammy not good”…….etc.
So yes, tell me, what exactly did the WICB do to Sammy?
