PAKISTAN beat West Indies by 196 runs on the fifth day of the second test on Tuesday to draw their two test series 1-1.
Slow left-armer Abdur Rehman finished with figures of 4-65 as West Indies, resuming on 130 for five and needing to bat through the day to win the series, were bowled out for 230 before lunch. Off-spinner Saeed Ajmal did the damage with the key wickets of Brendan Nash (30), skipper Darren Sammy (41) and Ravi Rampaul (20).
It was always going to be too much for West Indies to bat through the day having already lost their top order but it was a sorry end to their innings when Kemar Roach was run out for 12.
Any chance of resistance dissipated when Nash edged Ajmal to Taufeeq Umar at slip and then Baugh became the latest in a series of West Indies batsmen to fall lbw to Rehman.
Sammy was caught at midwicket off a dreadful shot off Ajmal and although Rampaul showed some defiance, it ultimately proved futile.
Once again West Indies struggled against spin which will give great heart to their upcoming opponent India which begins its tour of the Caribbean next month.
Pakistan, which won the five-match one day international series earlier in the tour 3-2, took full advantage of poor West Indian fielding in its second innings which saw centuries for Taufeeq Umar and skipper Misbah-ul-Haq.
