Jayden Seales has produced a sensational five-wicket haul following Justin Greaves’s history as West Indies crushed Pakistan by 90 runs in Tarouba to seal their first Test victory against the tourists, ESPNcricinfo reports.
A dominant display from the West Indies pace battery saw Pakistan skittled for just 120 in their fourth-innings chase of 211, wrapping up the match in a little over a session on day four.
The victory gives the hosts a 1-0 lead in the two-match series, guaranteeing they cannot lose it, whilst condemning Pakistan to a record-extending eighth consecutive overseas Test defeat.
The day began with Shamar Joseph and Kemar Roach extending their crucial eighth-wicket partnership, pushing the West Indies' lead before Mohammad Abbas wrapped up the tail to claim a five-wicket haul of his own.
However, West Indies' fast bowlers quickly turned the game into a procession.
Seales led the charge, removing Imam-ul-Haq, Azan Awais, and Salman Agha in a devastating spell.
Justin Greaves maintained his sublime form by removing Mohammad Rizwan with his first legitimate delivery before trapping Aamer Jamal lbw.
The West Indies all-rounder earlier made Test cricket history on Monday by becoming the first bowler in the recorded era to take wickets in five consecutive maiden overs.
The 32-year-old returned figures of 5-27 on the third day, producing a spell that helped swing the World Test Championship contest in the hosts' favour, according to Reuters.
Greaves surpassed the previous record of four consecutive wicket maidens, set by former England fast bowler Stuart Broad against South Africa in Johannesburg in 2016.
