Shah leads Pakistan to victory

25 April 2017 07:24

Yasir Shah claimed six wickets as Pakistan wrapped up a seven-wicket win over the West Indies in the first Test at Kingston.

Shah took six for 63 for his ninth career five-wicket haul as the hosts lost their final six wickets for just 42 to be dismissed for 152 and leave Pakistan chasing just 32 for victory.

The tourists wobbled briefly as they lost three wickets but never looked in any real danger of losing and captain Misbah-ul-Haq wasted little time in striking back-to-back sixes to lead his side to victory and a 1-0 series advantage.

After the Windies resumed on 93 for four, Vishaul Singh shouldered arms to Mohammad Amir and was bowled for nine and nightwatchman Devendra Bishoo soon followed, edging Mohammad Abbas to slip before Abbas had Shane Dowrich lbw without scoring two balls later.

Wahab Riaz removed Jason Holder for 14 and Shah then cleaned up the tail.

Azhar Ali, Ahmed Shehzad and Younus Khan then all fell cheaply but Misbah quickly ensured the target was reached with no further mishaps.
