First Test: West Indies fightback after Shaheen’s early burst

Jayden Seales became the youngest West Indies bowler to claim five wickets in a Test innings as Pakistan were dismissed for 203 on the fourth day of the first Test on Sunday.

West Indies will need 168 to take victory in the first of a two-match series at Sabina Park.

Seales, 19, finished with 5-55 as Pakistan lost their last five second innings wickets on Sunday for the addition of just 43 runs to their overnight total.

The visitors resumed the innings with 160 runs on the scoreboard and five wickets in hand. Faheem Ashraf was the first batsman dismissed on day four as he walked back to the pavilion after scoring 20 courtesy of Kemar Roach.

Captain Babar Azam only added a single run to his overnight score, as he was removed by Kyle Mayers. The 26-year-old scored 55.

Babar’s wicket exposed the Pakistan tail, which eventually bundled up for 203. Hasan Ali showed great resistance with the bat as he scored 28.

West Indies need 168 runs to win and take a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series.
