Danish runs rampant!

After setting the West Indies a target of 280, Inzamam couldn't even have dreamed that things would go so well. Gayle was the first to go for 15, leaving the WI at 27-1. Bad light and rain delayed the game for about an hour, and when the teams returned to the field, it was Danish's turn to shine. After coming for some heavy damage in the first innings, Danish came back with a bang and ran through the West Indies top order dismissing Sarwan, Lara and Chanderpaul. Danish then went on to take the wicket of Smith for 49, who was really the only WI batsman to offer any resistance. Razzaq further added to WI's misery by taking the wicket of Hinds, the last batting threat in the WI lineup. The WI are at 114-6, 166 runs behind, with Browne and the tailenders all that is left between Pakistan and victory. Thunderstorms are in the forecast for tomorrow. Pakistan will have to be on the hunt right from the start.
