Chasing a target of 211, Pakistan were bowled out for just 120 in 40.2 overs as West Indies pace spearhead Jayden Seales produced a match-winning spell, claiming 5 wickets for 35 runs. The defeat also extended Pakistan's disappointing overseas Test record, marking their eighth consecutive loss away from home.

Pakistan Collapse in Run Chase

Pakistan resumed the day needing 211 runs for victory but never recovered after losing early wickets.

Imam-ul-Haq departed for 8, Azan Awais managed only 6, while Salman Ali Agha was dismissed without scoring before lunch. The early breakthroughs placed Pakistan under immense pressure, and the middle order failed to recover despite brief resistance.

Mohammad Rizwan and Aamir Jamal were unable to build substantial partnerships as wickets continued to fall at regular intervals.

Seales Leads Outstanding Pace Attack

Twenty-three-year-old Jayden Seales once again demonstrated why he is regarded as one of the Caribbean's brightest fast-bowling talents.

The right-arm pacer finished with outstanding figures of 5 for 35 from 13.2 overs, registering his second five-wicket haul against Pakistan in Test cricket. His disciplined line and movement consistently troubled the Pakistani batters throughout the innings.

Justin Greaves supported him with two wickets, while experienced pacer Kemar Roach and all-rounder Shamar Joseph claimed one wicket each as the hosts completed an emphatic victory.

Babar Azam's Fighting Fifty Not Enough

Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam stood firm amid the collapse, remaining unbeaten on 52 from 86 deliveries. The innings marked his 32nd half-century in Test cricket and briefly kept Pakistan's hopes alive.

Batting with the tail, Babar added 36 runs for the final wicket alongside Mohammad Abbas, who contributed seven runs. However, Seales trapped Abbas lbw to seal the victory, leaving Babar stranded at the non-striker's end.

Despite Babar's resilience, no other Pakistani batter managed to convert their start into a meaningful contribution.

Shan Masood Battled Through Injury

Pakistan captain Shan Masood played despite suffering a fractured finger during West Indies' first innings.

The injury, sustained while fielding, forced him to bat lower down the order. He was dismissed for six runs, with visible discomfort throughout his brief stay at the crease.

West Indies Lower Order Added Valuable Runs

Earlier in the day, West Indies resumed their second innings at 93 for 7 before extending their advantage through an important partnership between Shamar Joseph and Kemar Roach.

Joseph scored 32 while Roach contributed 22 as the pair added 61 runs for the eighth wicket. Their partnership proved crucial in stretching the total to 148, setting Pakistan a challenging target of 211 on a pitch offering assistance to the fast bowlers.

Those additional runs ultimately proved decisive as Pakistan failed to mount a successful chase.

Emotional Victory Dedicated to Sir Garfield Sobers

The victory carried additional emotional significance for West Indies cricket.

Had legendary all-rounder Sir Garfield Sobers been alive, he would have celebrated his 90th birthday on the same day. Following the match, West Indies captain Roston Chase dedicated the victory to the Caribbean icon.

Chase also pointed out the remarkable coincidence that West Indies had won by exactly 90 runs, matching what would have been Sobers' 90th birthday.

The result gives West Indies early control of the series heading into the second and final Test, while Pakistan will now be under pressure to respond and avoid another overseas series defeat.
