Pakistan beat West Indies in first day-night Test

Pakistan beat West Indies by 56 runs in the first day-night Test on the fifth and final day in Dubai today, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

Shah finished with



2-113, seven wickets in the match to dismiss West Indies for 289 in their second innings after resuming at 95-2. Mohammad Amir took 3-63. Pakistan had made 579-3 declared in their first innings with Azhar Ali knocking an epic 302 not out.

The remaining two Tests will be played in Abu Dhabi (October 21-25) and Sharjah (October 30-November 3).
