Pakistan level series with simplistic win


Saeed Ajmal take three final-day wickets as Pakistan wrapped up a 196-run win in the second Test next to the West Indies in St Kitts to sketch the series 1-1.

Ajmal dismiss Brendan Nash, Darren Sammy and Ravi Rampaul as the hosts, who started the day on 130 for five, were dismiss for 230.

Captain Sammy briefly aggravated the tourists with an innings of 41, which incorporated six fours, but he was merely delay the inevitable.

The West Indies resume their second innings 296 runs loose this morning and their hopes of an unlikely revival were deal a blow when Nash went for 30, caught by Taufeeq Umar at first slip, after they had added just five more runs.

Abdur Rehman, who ended with four second-innings wickets, then attentive Carlton Baugh lbw for 18 to reduce the Windies for 171 for seven.

Sammy become Ajmal's second victim, caught at mid-wicket by Misbah-ul-Haq, and Umar Akmal then detained a catch at silly point to obtain rid of Rampaul after he had hit a quickfire 20 with two sixes and two fours.

And Pakistan preserved a comfortable victory when Wahab Riaz superbly ran out a dawdling Kemar Roach for 12.
