That's all then from tonight. Thanks for joining us, and we hope for more such low-scoring thrillers

Quotes from the presentation
"The plan was to see off the new ball," says Misbah-ul-Haq. "but we did oppositely. Credit goes to them too, they bowled well. With nasir and I, we could have gone to 240-250, but some bad shots and we kept on losing wickets. If you are set, you can't make mistake, otherwise your team suffers. The century doesn't matter. Runs matter only if the team wins. Really happy with the way the bowlers bowled. Everybody bowled their hearts out. We need to rectify the small mistakes. Everybody who made the little mistakes need to say they could have done better."

"Tough situation," says Dwayne Bravo. "Lot of credit to the boys. Kemat set the stone, backed up by Rampaul and Narine. yes it was a close match but it is important to get the nerves out of the way. We didn't want Pakistan to bowl first, because there would be moisture and movement. They bowled really well in the chase too, but credit to the boys. Words can't explain how it felt. Last time Chris Gayle mentioned in the meeting that The Oval is like a home game. We were outnumbered by the Pakistan fans, but we enjoyed it."

"Wanted to pitch the ball up and let the ball do the work," says Kemar Roach, the Man of the Match. "It's great to win the first match. The guys are relieved. Pakistan are a tough side to pay against. Definitely my rhythm was on today. I am proud of myself and the team."

What a superb match we have had here. Roach punches the air and keeps running. He is rightly jubilant. Both sides bowled well here. Roach at the start, followed by repair work by Misbah and Jamshed. The latter threw it away, but Misbah batted until the end with an unbeaten 96 out of a total of 170. he could have easily played just for his hundred, but he kept turning down singes with the last man in.

The chase was exciting with the Pakistan bowlers defending this in a possessed manner. There was a lot of good short-pitched bowling and spin, but the West Indies batsmen made enough small contributions to edge ahead in the end. We will bring the presentation quotes soon

Junaid Khan to Roach, FOUR, how fitting that Roach has finished it all. Length ball outside off, Roach square-drives it over point for the winning runs. That to go with his 10-4-28-3

Over the wicket now

Junaid Khan to Ramdin, 1 run, short of a length, middle and leg, drops it to leg and takes a single

Nitin Chaudhary: "Time to hit winning runs and show what u got in your pocket Ramdin."

Junaid Khan to Roach, 1 run, Malik adds a lazy attempt at point to his golden duck. The misfield not only gives them one, but it takes Roach off strike too

Roach on strike now. Junaid goes round the stumps

40.1

Junaid Khan to Ramdin, 1 run, short of a length, cut away to third man for one

Junaid Khan into the attack now. Will he go round the stumps? No he won't. over the wicket with a slip in

END OF OVER:

Mohammad Irfan to Roach, no run, it is a dot. Short of a length, middle and leg, defended off the back foot. Well done, Roach

Now to compensate for that no-ball earlier in the over. Will Pakistan get a wicket? Will West Indies end the game here? Will this be a dot?

Mohammad Irfan to Roach, no run, short of a length, outside off, angles away, Roach plays inside the line of it
