Preview by Cricinfo...

The West Indies cricket team is in desperate need of a hero - Bajan or otherwise - as they bid to keep the series alive at the Kensington Oval. Unfortunately the cricketers likeliest to produce heroic feats are injured, dropped or plying their trade in India. Darren Sammy's team trails 0-2, and unless they improve dramatically on two inept performances, Pakistan will secure the series with two games to spare.

Team news
Despite two drubbings, the West Indian selectors persevered with the same 13-man squad for the third ODI. Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Taylor are in India, while Fidel Edwards is not yet match fit. Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Sulieman Benn remain unpicked. The fact that the squad was retained for only the third ODI is perhaps an indication that another failure will result in changes. Anthony Martin, the Antiguan legspinner, had a satisfactory debut - taking 0 for 36 off ten overs - so he could keep his place ahead of Andre Russell.

Pakistan won the toss. I would have bowled first too.

1.1 Mohammad Hafeez to Smith, OUT, Trapped! First ball for Hafeez! What a start. Overcast conditions, supposed to help seam, and what does he do? Strikes first ball with his off break! It drifted in from round the stumps, landed just outside the off stump and moved in with the arm. Again, yet again, Smith pushes well outside the line rather clulessly

DS Smith lbw b Mohammad Hafeez 0 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
