West Indies win Test in Pakistan for first time in 35 years

Spinner Jomel Warrican took five wickets as the West Indies won a Test match in Pakistan for the first time in nearly 35 years on Monday.

Text size:

The West Indies won the second Test in Multan by 120 runs on day three to draw the series 1-1.

Pakistan won the first Test by 127 runs, also in Multan.

Warrican finished with nine wickets in the match -- 19 in the series -- to give the hosts a taste of their own medicine on spin-friendly pitches.

The last time the West Indies won a Test in Pakistan was in Faisalabad in November 1990, having gone winless on their 1997 and 2006 tours.

Resuming on 76-4 and chasing 254, Pakistan's hopes of victory rested on Saud Shakeel but Kevin Sinclair had the left-hander caught in the slip for 13 to further dent the home team's fading chances.

Babar Azam top-scored with 31 while Mohammad Rizwan made 25.
