Match State: Match scheduled to start at 1.35 gmt (9.35 local)

       WI win toss and bat
       Saqlain and Shoaib in for Waqar and Arshad Khan
       WI unchanged
       slip in
       nice morning, crowd filing in not full yet
       pitch is fairly slow, not much grass on it. Umpires wait for the
        clock to turn to 9:35
   0.1 Wasim Akram to Wallace, wide: no run, and WI on the board right
        away, generous of Wasim
   0.1 Wasim Akram to Wallace, no run, forward and pulls his bat away
   0.2 Wasim Akram to Wallace, no run, in the air! short outside off,
        Afridi dives but can't quite reach it
   0.3 Wasim Akram to Wallace, no run, more circumspect this time, careful
        defence
   0.4 Wasim Akram to Wallace, no run, forward, hits pad, half hearted
        appeal, Walace not enjoying this
   0.5 Wasim Akram to Wallace, no run, just outside off, outswinger
        catches the edge and it drops just in front of Inzi at first slip
   0.6 Wasim Akram to Wallace, no run, forward in defence, excellent over
        to get things started

End of over 1 (1 run) West Indies 1/0 (RR: 1.00)
Wasim Akram 1-0-1-0 (1w)
SL Campbell 0* (0b) PA Wallace 0* (6b)

   1.1 Shoaib Akhtar to Campbell, (noball) no run, oversteps, fast and
        with bounce
   1.1 Shoaib Akhtar to Campbell, (noball) one run, long run, runs a bit
        too far oversteps, hurries Campbell into the shot, pushes to mid
        on
   1.1 Shoaib Akhtar to Wallace, no run, a legal ball! well across, looks
        to cut but through to the keeper
   1.2 Shoaib Akhtar to Wallace, no run, played to cover with more
        confidence
       Shoaib hasn't played for a while, having a bit of trouble with his
        run
   1.3 Shoaib Akhtar to Wallace, no run, watchful forward defensive, edge
        to pad
   1.4 Shoaib Akhtar to Wallace, no run, back on his stumps, and pulls,
        hurried the shot and no timing at all trickles to mid wicket
   1.5 Shoaib Akhtar to Wallace, no run, little bit of away swing, left to
        go through to Moin
   1.6 Shoaib Akhtar to Wallace, one run, pushed to the gap on the leg
        side, good running

End of over 2 (4 runs) West Indies 5/0 (RR: 2.50)

        total was small, WI fought like tigers helped by excellent fast
        bowling
       This series in WI has been bowler dominated and Pak has to thank
        Inzamam for being their best batsman and WI has Reon King who has
        taken the nost wickets
       Mushtaq provided the Pakistanis the chance to win by mesmerising
        the WI batters with his wily spin

Match State: Pakistan won by 4 wickets

       Pak to get the nicely carved mahogany trophy
       and the first triangular ODI series ever held in the caribbean
       this has been a very tight series, fun to be of service to CricInfo
        fans and we hope our comms were of help, any comments to
        comms@cricinfo.com and please standby for the ceremonies
       The next portion of the Pak tour to WI will be the test series
        starting reAal soon, right here!
        Holding congratulates Moin and the pak team, intors the vip's
       calls up Adams, says we were doing well until we lost 3 wickets in
        one over
       our confidence has improved, nine days to the tests we will have a
        rest and start practice
       MoM is Pak's brilliant leggie Mushtaq Ahmed, claps from us for a
        fine comeback
       hold a check for $500 that is longer than him, thanks his board for
        allowing him back
       found a good rhythm and bowled well, denies he had a knee problem,
        challenges Holding by saying 'who told you, I have no probelem
       Moin receives a $10,000 cheque and the trophy
       its too big to lift and prolly cannot fit any plane back!
       Solid mahogany
       says was not a big target and thanks Ina, admits we were struggling
        but while Inz was there I was confident
       On thew tests we will rely on Miandads advice who has been in
        Guyana, thanks the crowd, the ref and all and sundry
       Man of the Series is a Rover car, or rather the prize is!, it goes
        to contest was between inz and rose so the car goes to Inzamam, I
        wonder if he knows how to drive?, and wonder how they will ship it
        home
       Moin acts as a sub for Inz and accepts the car and a check for Inz,
        is reminded i9ts for Inz 'dont forget' says Holding
       Thats all folk till may 5 for the first test from Guyana, good
        night all
