Karachi, December 1:

Pakistan defeated the West Indies by 199 runs in the third and final cricket Test to take the three-match series 2-0. The tourists, set 444 to win, were bowled out for 244 in their second innings after tea on the final day. Pakistan won the first Test by nine wickets in Lahore. The second Test ended in a draw at Multan.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul hit a fighting 69 and it seemed the West Indies would salvage a draw but leg-spinner Danish Kaneria dismissed him and then removed Daren Powell next ball to set up Pakistan’s win. Chanderpaul had added 57 runs for the fifth wicket with Dwayne Bravo. The West Indies survived the first 90 minutes of the extended two-and-a-half hour session as skipper Brian Lara and Ramnaresh Sarwan batted cautiously after resuming the day at 39-2.

Lara, who needed 96 to become the first man to score 12,000 Test runs, was dismissed off an uppish drive off Umar Gul. Lara hit nine boundaries during his 92-ball knock of 49.

Sarwan had to return to the pavilion after he was hit on the right foot by a full length delivery from Gul. Sarwan, who had made 35, had a hairline fracture and was ruled out of the ODIs.

Runako Morton hit two boundaries and a six off Danish Kaneria before giving the leg-spinner a return catch. After the lunch break, Nazir dismissed Bravo and raised hopes of the Pakistan victory.
