Rahkeem Cornwall

68.3

OUT! Caught. Rahkeem Cornwall to Yamin Ahmadzai. Off break half volley, outside off stump down the track driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, by Warrican. Seven for Cornwall! It's all over. Ahmadzai didn't seem to have much trust in Zahir Khan, so attempted a lusty blow to add a few more runs. He jumps out to the pitch, but doesn't get the desired connection. Off the toe end, and it nestles into the hands of long off.

A below par score from Afghanistan. They started very well, being 84-1 at one stage, but then a huge collapse left them at 111-7. There was a slight recovery, but not a big enough one to dig them out of trouble. There were eyebrows raised when Holder decided to bowl first, but it looks to have paid off. How will the Windies reply with the bat? The hosts need some wickets tonight to get back into it.

67.3

OUT! Caught. Jason Holder to Amir Hamza. Seaming away length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Dowrich. That's a corker of a delivery from Holder. A hint of movement after pitching, Hamza hangs the bat out in hope, and it brushes the outside edge on the way through to the keeper. West Indies are just one wicket away from polishing things up.

FOUR! Rahkeem Cornwall to Yamin Ahmadzai. Off break half volley, to leg on the front foot sweeping, well timed past fine leg for 4 runs. Not the right line. Cornwall errs down leg, Ahmadzai swings hard, and drags it away to the long leg fence.

65.6

Jason Holder to Amir Hamza. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, to short extra cover for no runs, fielded by Campbell.

FOUR! Jason Holder to Yamin Ahmadzai. Length ball, off stump on the front foot glancing, well timed past fine leg for 4 runs. Poor line from Holder. He strays down the legside, and Ahmadzai just tickles it away fine for four more.

83.3

OUT! L.B.W. Amir Hamza to Kemar Roach. Stock length ball, off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad to. Five wicket haul for Hamza on debut! Roach tries to defend, but his front pad gets in the way of the bat coming down. It meant that he was beaten on the inside edge, and was struck in front of leg. Enough turn on this one for it to be hitting the stumps, so up goes the finger.

West Indies end up with a very crucial first innings lead of 90. Sharmarh Brooks stood out with a cracking century, but there were good contributions from Campbell and Dowrich, too. Afghanistan will need to bat better second time round. If they can set a target of over 150, then they are definitely in the game. Find out how they respond after a tea break.

Amir Hamza to Jomel Warrican. Stock ball back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, to point for 1 run, shy attempt by Ahmadzai.

79.5

OUT! Bowled. Amir Hamza to Sharmarh Brooks. Stock length ball, off stump on the front foot Slog, missed to. Brooks is gone! Clearly looking to up the tempo as he is batting with the tail, and he gets bowled through the gate. Attempted an ugly hoick across the line, and it skidded through to crash into the stumps. That ends a great innings.

43.1

OUT! Caught. Jason Holder to Afsar Zazai. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pushing, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Dowrich. Another for Holder, the captain has led by example this morning to wrap up the Afghanistan innings. Regulation edge and Dowrich gobbles it up, thirty minutes of play is all that the tourists needed to take the last three wickets.

So West Indies will require just 31 runs to seal the Test Match. Another hundred runs would have made things very tricky, but you would imagine they will have no issues getting that target. Afghanistan will be really disappointed.

41.4

OUT! Bowled. Jason Holder to Yamin Ahmadzai. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, missed to. Off stump is smashed out of the ground, that's a great sight for any bowler and Holder casually raises a finger to the air in celebration. Comprehensively beaten, Ahmadzai has to trudge off with just a single to his name. This match is quickly heading towards a finish.

FOUR! Amir Hamza to John Campbell. Stock length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs.

West Indies have completed a nine wicket victory over Afghanistan in Lucknow, finishing the job this morning in just over an hour of play. Jason Holder ensured the tail was mopped up quickly, snaring three quick wickets with some accurate fast bowling, before the batsmen cruised to the small target with alacrity. The men from the Caribbean took control of the match through Rahkeem Cornwall's superb seven wicket haul on the opening day and they never let the hosts back into the contest from there. Shamarh Brooks gave a masterful demonstration of how to bat long in difficult conditions yesterday, compiling his maiden Test century in style. Cornwall went on to finish with ten wickets in the match, reward for his consistency and guile. Afghanistan are still young in terms of Test experience and they will learn plenty from this defeat.

OUT! Caught. Amir Hamza to Kraigg Brathwaite. Stock length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, Gloved to wicketkeeper, by Zazai. A consolation wicket for Afghanistan to boost their spirits. Brathwaite was looking to smother this delivery but prodigious turn and bounce made that virtually impossible. The ball kissed the glove before being pouched behind the stumps, further evidence that a few more runs would've been difficult for West Indies to chase.
