Off-spinner Sajid Khan masterminded Pakistan’s emphatic 127-run win against the West Indies in the first test on Sunday.

Spinners Sajid Khan and Noman Ali made hay with the new ball in Multan, taking nine wickets between them to bundle out West Indies for 137 before captain Shan Masood's second-innings fifty helped Pakistan to build a 202-run lead on the second day of the first test on Saturday.

England took the 2019 crown after a dramatic Ben Stokes-inspired super-over win over New Zealand at Lord's.
