Get Ball by Ball Commentary of Pakistan vs West Indies 3rd ODI 2006

Handshakes all around as the players walk back to the pavilion. It's party time in the stands.

Hafeez and Farhat added 64 runs for the first wicket and that set the platform. Farhat was the top scorer on 58, an innings which can be at best described as streaky. West Indies bowlers were an indisciplined lot today, in all they conceded 31 extras and made life easy for the batsmen. Their fielding too was sloppy and couple of chances that could have turned this match around were grassed. Pakistan batsmen took full advantage of the friendly approach and they reached the target with 8 balls remaining.

Pakistan now lead the 5-ODI series with two more matches left to be played, so it's an unassailable lead and from what we have seen so far, a West Indian comeback looks remote. That's it from me Sajan Nair and Jamie Alter - The 4th ODI is on the 13th of December, so dress scary - Good night and good luck.
