Pakistan v West Indies, ICC World Cup 2015: As it happened

That's it from us. Hope you'll enjoyed IBTimes UK's live blog between Pakistan and West Indies. We will meet once again tomorrow for the big clash between India and South Africa. Until then, take care.

Jason Holder:

Wonderful performance, batted really well. Russell and Sammy and Simmons and Ramdin really put their hand up at the end. Jerome Taylor bowled brilliantly and I supported him well, and we applied a lot of pressure with those early wickets. We lost the first game and we needed to make amends here, really pleased we did that.

Misbah-ul-Haq:

Tough day, especially after winning the toss. There was a little bit in the pitch, could not really exploit that. Gave away too many runs in the last few overs. Last two games boys bowled really well in the death overs. You could say credit should be given to the West Indians, they really cashed in, last 5-6 overs.

Sometimes lack of confidence just does wonders like that. The guys up front are struggling a little bit. First 10 overs, in New Zealand conditions, it was seaming a little bit, they bowled really well, we could not negotiate the new ball. It's always difficult. Performances like that can dent you, damage you, we have some time, next game is nine days away.

Man of the Match: Andre Russell

The way the game was set up was perfect for me to finish the innings off. Well done to the batters, they did a good job in the middle. The start from Jerome Taylor and Jason Holder, the platform was set up perfectly for me again.

Man of the Match: Andre Russell for 42* (13) and 3/33.
