West Indies seal first Test win in Pakistan for 35 yrs

MULTAN, Pakistan, Jan 27 (AFP): Spinner Jomel Warrican took five wickets as the West Indies won a Test match in Pakistan Monday for the first time in nearly 35 years.

The West Indies won the second Test in Multan by 120 runs on day three to draw the series 1-1.

Pakistan triumphed in the first Test by 127 runs, also in Multan.

Warrican finished with nine wickets in the match -- 19 in the series -- to give the hosts a taste of their own medicine on sharply spinning pitches.

The last time the West Indies won a Test in Pakistan was in Faisalabad in November 1990, having gone winless on their 1997 and 2006 tours.

"We haven't played in Pakistan for a number of years, but we haven't won here in a while, so to come here and do it as a young group is incredible," said West Indian skipper Kraigg Brathwaite.

He praised the performance of star player Warrican, who scored 36 not out in the West Indies' first innings of 163 and took both the man of the match and player of the series awards. "Apart from his excellent bowling, he always says he's one of the best players of offspin in the Caribbean, so it's good to see him get some runs along with wickets."
