Five-star Jayden helps seal Windies win against Pakistan

Paceman Jayden Seales claimed his fourth five-wicket haul to bowl West Indies to a 90-run victory over Pakistan in ​the opening Test in Tarouba on Tuesday.

After eking out ‌a 29-run first-innings lead, West Indies made 181 in their second innings to set Pakistan a target of 211.

Seales (5-20) and his pace colleagues ​returned to produce a superb fast-bowling display at the ​Brian Lara Stadium, routing Pakistan for 120 in a ⁠little over 40 overs.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam made an unbeaten ​58 and combined with No. 11 Mohammad Abbas (23) in a ​brief resistance, but the West Indies' victory appeared a formality after the tourists slumped to 71-9.

Pakistan No. 3 Shan Masood, who fractured his finger during ​his first-innings knock of 109, batted at No. 8 in ​the second innings. He made three before Seales dismissed him.

The West Indies captain Roston ‌Chase ⁠dedicated the victory to West Indies great Garry Sobers, who died earlier this month.

"We wanted to make him proud and had a chat about it before the match. I hope he is ​smiling down on ​us," Chase ⁠said afterwards.

"I love the direction this team is heading. We're not relying on one or two ​players; everyone is chipping in at crucial moments."

Babar ​said that ⁠Pakistan's lack of partnerships proved costly.

"Today, as a batting unit, we weren't up to the mark. We kept losing wickets back-to-back ⁠and the ​batting failed. That's something we're working ​on," he said.

The second and final Test in Port of Spain begins on ​Sunday.
