West Indies have a one-wicket victory over Pakistan on Sunday as the guests self-destructed in the final session of the fourth day when on course to take the first Test of the two-match series at Sabina Park. Defending a decent target of 168 after they were dismissed in the morning session for 203, Shaheen Shah Afridi led the charge with figures of four for 50 in conquering the home side to 114 for seven at tea with only wicketkeeper-batsman Joshua da Silva and the tailenders left. However, in scenes suggestive of a similar one-wicket loss in the deciding Test of the 2000 series in Antigua, the Pakistanis lost discipline in their bowling and composure in the field.

Three catches were missed to allow Kemar Roach and last man Jayden Seales to take their team to the target with a last-wicket partnership of 17. Roach, who was dropped twice, hit the triumphant runs off Hasan Ali to finish unbeaten on 30. Ironically, it was Hasan who missed a straightforward catch at deep square-leg off Shaheen which allowed Roach to eventually complete the job at the end alongside a jubilant Seales.

Seales was chosen man of the match for his match haul of eight for 125 which included five for 55 in the second innings. For the fast bowler, who is less than a month away from his 20th birthday, it was a historic achievement when he mopped up the Pakistan tail with the last three wickets to become the youngest-ever to take five wickets in a Test innings for the West Indies. "I just decided to take it step by step, run by run," said a relieved Roach minutes after completing what looked an unlikely task when he joined da Silva at the start of play after tea.
