Ammad: "Pakistan need to get over this obsession with Wahab Riaz . More often than not, he is quite poor spraying around the ball at pace without changing speed or line/length. His good days are not often enough or good enough to change the game"

omer: "in 2nd T20I wahab bowled superb 19th over and won it for pakistan ...Today his last over can proved costly for pakistan ...44 runs in 4 overs in low scoring encounters could be diff b/w win and loss .."

hafeez: "9 sixes & 5 fours in the W.I innings.. Exactly equal to Lewis's boundries last night.."

Kishore: "Well it's a score to defend, but as long as Pakistan don't give badree and narine too many wickets it should be a walk in the park"

2.03pm And that's the innings. It's a wonder West Indies made it. At one point, they looked determined to be bowled out. In the end, it was a superb innings from Brathwaite. He was the only one who looked in control for them. And so, despite a great individual performance, his team has made only 124.

Rumman made a fabulous comeback to the national team, and Shadab's tale continues to be one of success. But the world will do great injustice to Hasan Ali if he isn't the Player of the Match today. It would take a true miracle from a West Indian bowler to outdo what he has done today. Tied up two top order batsmen, got both of them, before running out another. That mid-way collapse has his signature on it in the scorecard. We'll be back soon for the response.

Benny: "As an English fan, I am very happy that Brathwaite has a new High score!"

And that, my friends, is why we were discussing the good length.

We're now past 10 overs worth of dot balls in this innings

A slip for Narine. And you'd have to believe a googly too.

Right. Two maidens in a row for Hasan. This is also the first time Pakistan have bowled three maidens in a T20I...and on the flip side, the firs time West Indies have batted that many.

Hasan is going off the field. Looks like exhaustion.

Are we going to see some recklessness now?

Zulfaqar Khan: "M.Asif did not bowl the first over maiden (it went for 6 runs), in fact it was the 3rd over which was maiden and he picked a wicket in that too..." --- Oops. This is correct.

Xeidy: "@Ali Imtinan: Because when ball starts seaming/swinging that is the length which creates the most doubt in batsman's head that whether to go on front foot or on back foot. Sometimes even straight delivery can take an edge because batsman is caught in two minds regarding footwork. "

A silly point is brought in for Samuels

Ali Imtinan: "Always had a question which I wished someone could aptly answer. Why is the good length referred to as 'good', when most of the experts emphasize that it is the perfect ball to be hit for six in the death overs." --- Probably weren't "death overs" when the term was invented

Saqib Yousuf Ya: "I believe Mohammad Asif in his debut match bowled a maiden first up." --- Thanks for digging that up Sqib. Here's the match: Eng v Pak

adnan: "Is it not a record , delivered a maiden over in debut match" --- No, Adnan. Rumman has played one game for Pakistan in 2016.

Wahab

That was huge no-ball, replays show us. Not given.

And here is Raees. Might never have been in focus the way he has been today. At least over here.

there is a slip in place, by the way

Here's Hasan Ali

Came back nicely, did Imad

loud cheers from the home crowd

12.28 Right, the batsmen have walked out. Lewis is taking guard as the music blares in the background. Looks like he will be facing spin...yes, it's Imad Wasim to open. Around the wicket. Economy 5.81 in T20 internationals.

Sarfraz says their decision to field was based on what happened in the second innings yesterday - nothing. They're looking to chase for that reason.

12.20pm Bright, sunny and colourful in Port of Spain. Just what you'd expect. A bit of water to harden up the pitch, says Rameez Raja, but not too much difference from yesterday.

Safiullah: "Fielding first is a better option keeping in view the recent match Fakhar zaman should be given a chance in top order so that he doesn't feel much pressure "

saim mehmood: "So at last Ruman Raees has been added for final match, Pakistan should have to play gutsy cricket to win the series!" --- Rumman Raees stats in PSL 2: 7 matches, 12 wickets at 13.50, with an economy rate of 6.19.

West Indies are unchanged: Evin Lewis, Chadwick Walton(wk), Marlon Samuels, Jason Mohammed, Lendl Simmons, Kieron Pollard, Carlos Brathwaite (c), Jason Holder, Sunil Narine, Samuel Badree, Kesrick Williams

Pakistan have brought in Rumman Raees in place of Tanvir: Ahmed Shehzad, Kamran Akmal, Imad Wasim, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Fakhar Zaman, Sarfraz Ahmed (wk & c), Rumman Raees, Wahab Riaz, Shadab Khan, Hasan Ali

Pakistan have won the toss and they will field.

12pm Toss not far away. The same pitch will be used today.

Dr.Tahir: "Fakhar should be given a chance to open and both ruman and usman shinwari should play. Whats the point of 4 T20s if you are not gonna give youngsters a chance?"

Themainman : "The only top order batsmen waiting for big knocks are Simmons and Shehzad! Let's hope they come good today! I would like to see Pakistan give Fakhar zaman a chance at 3, Babar has proved himself! Also, would like to see Rumman, the star of the PSL play, personally I feel to replace Sohail Tanvir. "

Zoraiz: "Exactly 3 years and 1 day back, the Windies humiliated Pakistan in the World T20, thus eliminating them. The men who won it that day were Badree and Narine. With a spin-supportive wicket today, will we see more of the same from WI today?"

11.35am Good morning and welcome to ESPNcricinfo's coverage of the fourth and final T20I between West Indies and Pakistan. The hosts have taken progressive steps so far - they lost by a huge margin in the first game, came agonizingly close in the second, and finally pulled off a win yesterday. If the patterns sticks, we are in for a thrilling tie to the series.

Of course theories and patterns don't mean a whole lot in sports. Pakistan have been the better side all series long, and will have thought long and hard about the moments that lost them the game yesterday. More importantly, they'll have thought of the man that snatched the game away ferociously from them. Evin Lewis showed up so that the fragile middle order wouldn't have to. But the opportunities remain.

4.05pm And that is it from our coverage of the T20 series. Thanks for tuning in throughout its course. We'll join you shortly for the ODI series. Have a good evening.

Shadab Khan is the Man of the Series. Took the pace off as opposed to yesterday, he says, on advice of the coach.

Sarfraz: Credit goes to the players. The bowlers did the job for us. We had a plan to use Shadab after six overs and Hasan also came in with his inswing. We fielded well, there are many young players in this team. Looking forward to the ODI series.

Carlos: We just batted poorly. Whatever you do, first or last, you've to do it well. We didn't do that. We decided to set a target of 150 and we didn't even get close. Those extra 20 runs cost us in the back end of this game. Our rotation of strike has actually improved, but if batsmen keep getting out, we take time to settle. The back end of the line-up was exposed too early and that cost us. Overall in the series, we progressed. Kesrick and Badree were positives.

Hasan Ali is the Man of the Match.The plan was to bowl wicket-to-wicket , he says.

3.41pm Pakistan stretched it till the 19th over, but this is a comfortable victory. A dominating one, in fact. They gave West Indies nothing with the ball and then capitalized with a typically measured chase from the top order. Ahmed Shehzad's fifty was measured and classy for the most part, while Babar Azam cannot be anything other than elegant. Neither of them batted through till the end though, and that will disappoint them.

For West Indies, the meetings will be sombre and intense. They played 66 dot balls in their innings and strike rotation was not an aspect of their game plan at all. Not good enough after losing the toss, despite the high quality of Pakistan's bowling. Back with the presentation in a bit.

Talha Hameed: "Most runs [Babar Azam 137], Most wickets [Shadab Khan 10], the series [3-1] all belongs to Pakistan."

Kesrick Williams nearly pulled off a mini-Hasan

Zain Najam: "So for the sake of this team, I hope the openers have truly been justified to their role and Babar Azam to the one down slot. The middle order is a little jumbled up with the inclusion of Fakhar Zaman but this is the most balanced t20 squad for Pakistan, all because of Sarfraz"

Atyab: "Hi Varun! I just noticed that Shadab Khan resembles a lot with Rami Malek from Mr. Robot, isn't it?" --- Cannot deny this.

Mirza Zaid : "@Faraz; I think that's too harsh. Pitch pitch conditions speaks the stories. The world championships weren't t able to cross 140 in their home ground in 4 matches. "

Faisal: "To be honest, all Pakistan games are mostly low scoring as compare to the other teams. This is because their ability to capitalize through their bowling in different conditions. Getting a score for 170 on pitches like this against Pakistan is not an easy task for any team"

Williams

Muhammad Faraz: "These low targets are the only ones which our Pak batsmen can chase with their only run a ball ability, had the target been around 170, chase would have been similar to the one against Aus in World t20 2016"

Mohammed, around the wicket

That is the end of Badree's spell. His most expensive one in T20 internationals.

Zain Najam: "In the International arena, it's all about adaptability. Of course there is severe criticism of Fakhar's position in the line-up, but the simple solution isn't moving him up the order as it will destroy all the tempo and the strategy planned by the skipper. Malik has batted all positions, Kamran has batted as opener, 1 down, 1 dows, 2 down down till 6 down. All that is required is patience."

Idrees: "Pakistan fans complain when we win, and complain when we lose. There always has to be something that 'needs fixing'. We're (going to) win this series 3-1 against the WT20 champions. It's been a good experience and great work to MOTS Shadab Khan."

Mohd Irshad: "So ppls here are saying Pakistan should ruin their well placed players to accommodate a new guys so that he can get a better chance to score that too might have few ifs and but. Senior players has already proved why they are at their positions, its new guys who should do something to earn a place. Its international cricket not a school game, ppl earn their place here, nothing is given in golden plate. "

goes around

Faraz Ali: "Baber Azam averaged 116 at start of this series, he hasn't been able to maintain that but he has doubled his tally in these 4 games! Amazing that he has scored most runs in this series despite what Lewis did yesterday. Kamran Akmal meanwhile fell short of 1000 runs landmark by 13 runs!"

hassan: "Pakistani team management is ruining again a promising talent in fakhar as they have ruined many i.e.umar,sohaib by trying to bat him at no. 6 to have a hitter lower down the order while they are good top order bats.it should be the role of a senior and settled member of team like malik or kamran to provide impetus at 6 instead of a young member."

Basit: "Why disturb Babars position when he has been constant one down player? Considering this is the most crucial batting position across all formats."

Brathwaite

Sjrn: "Should have sent Fakhar rather than Babar here. Less pressure at present would have given him practice and confidence, I think"

ibnehasan4: "Sameuls getting out to Wahab Riaz and Hasan Ali and dismissing Kamran Akmal in both previous games! Too much mutual love between these Zalmis!"

Talha Hameed: "Marlon Samuels v Kamran Akmal in this series: 2 deliveries - 2 wickets. "

Marlon Samuels

fiz: "Pakistan is doing the same mistake which doomed WI. they aren't rotating the strike.going for the big shots.." --- 21 dot balls out of 36 bowled. But the rate is fine for now.

Highest opening partnership of the series

Narine

Talha Hameed: "Pakistan lowest total v West Indies in T20Is is 82 all out at Dhaka in 2014. Badree & Narine took 6 wickets in that match." --- A reminder

Anmol lakhmani: "Kamran akmal has been in good nick! Should have crack in ODIs too"

he's back on his feet now, it looks okay

2.14pm We're set for the chase. Kamran Akmal opens with Shehzad who is on strike. Will face Badree
