"Misbah, please do something," reads a hastily mocked-up piece of paper in the crowd. I struggle to remember a game where Misbah wasn't bailing his boys out of trouble. He really is a captain that stands up to be counted. Maqsood offers some respite when he flays Jason Holder through the off side for two consecutive boundaries - the second one a fine cover drive which bisects the inner circle.

Ilyas Najib:, external The worst start in ODI history for Pakistan, to say I feel dejected is an understatement, hitting rock bottom is painful viewing.

There's not even a hint of aggression from Pakistan at the moment. They just want to survive and pick up the odd single. It's hardly surprising though, with Jerome Taylor shaping the ball away as stock, then getting the odd one to nip back in and cut the right-handed Misbah in half. Five from the over. The required run-rate is now 7.17.

It's all a bit muted in the crowd as spectators crave a decent run-chase. It's just about survival for Pakistan at the moment, with the Windies putting catchers all round the circle as they attempt to break into the tail. Skipper Jason Holder - you don't get many fast-bowling captains these days - is probing away outside off stump and wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin is getting excitable every time the ball beats the outside edge. Three singles from the over.

"What are the options for Pakistan? They can either resist as stoutly as they are able, or they can do a Brendon McCullum and try and hit the bowlers off their length. But is there anyone capable of that?"

Tall, gangly and with a subtle gold chain dripping from his neck, Jerome Taylor finally looks to have rediscovered his mojo. He's hitting a nice length just short of what would be considered full and is getting shape on the ball. Pakistan captain Misbah, who will be bailing out his side until he's 70 at this rate, gives the balls the respect they deserve, playing back five dots after Maqsood started the over with a single. This needs to be a carefully managed repair job.

"This is the problem for Pakistan: not only are you asking your batsmen not to lose any wickets, but the run-rate also starts to escalate massively."

Thanks James. How are we all? It's not looking good for Pakistan is it? After six overs of yesterday's match, New Zealand were 96-0 against England. Sobering.

The only runs Pakistan seem to be scoring at the moment are the extras being dished out by the Windies. Jason Holder sends down a wide, before Misbah finally finds a boundary for his side with a long hop being dispatched past point.

"Another good tidy over from Taylor, just getting outside off stump and varying his length. Misbah is the wicket that West Indies would like to claim - he's a good performer who can judge a chase pretty well."

Misbah has got Pakistan out of plenty of holes in his time, but this would be a rescue act to top them all. He's off the mark with a nudge behind square leg.

And with that, I leave you in the very capable hands of Marc Higginson, who will see you night-owls through to the conclusion. Enjoy.

Lowest total at fall of fourth wicket in ODIs:

1 - Pakistan today

4 - Canada v Zimbabwe, Port-of-Spain, 2006

If you're struggling to keep up, the men at the crease now are captain Misbah-ul-Haq and Sohaib Maqsood. Maqsood does the only thing that he can under the circumstances: dead-bat five dot balls. Another excellent over from Windies skipper Jason Holder.

"West Indies are jubilant. They looked lethargic against Ireland but today they are leaping as a side and huddling together in celebration. The bowling has been on target, the catching has been good and they deserve to be in this position. Where do Pakistan go from here? Nowhere."

This is unbelievable. Pakistan are sinking without trace. Ahmed Shehzad is the latest to depart, Holder draws him into driving hard at a full ball outside off and it flies to Lendl Simmons at gully.

Pakistan are in a whole world of trouble now. The pressure builds after 11 consecutive dot balls and it tells on Haris Sohail, who tries to slap Jerome Taylor past point and instead picks out sub fielder Jonathan Carter.

West Indies captain Jason Holder, who will be absolutely delighted with that turn of events, takes the new nut from the other end.

He's got two slips and a gully as he steams in, and there's plenty of swing on offer for him too. He consistently hits the corridor of uncertainty outside off stump, and with his team already two down, Ahmed Shehzad isn't going to try anything fancy. He plays out a maiden.

"That was a ball that just angled in and there wasn't much movement of the feet and he stayed in the crease and got a villainous edge behind. A really bad start for Pakistan and West Indies are cock-a-hoop. They are a dangerous side when they have confidence."

The West Indies are flying! They've got Younus Khan back in the hutch too, and it's an absolute beauty from Jerome Taylor that does for him. Full, angling in, maybe just a touch of late movement and a leaden-footed Younus gets a feather through to a gleeful Denesh Ramdin.

What. A. Start.

"There's always a question mark about Pakistan and whether they have the ability to chase down a total in excess of 300. The West Indies paced their innings pretty well because they only lost four wickets going into the final 10 overs. That's where you cash in and I think Pakistan have to follow that sort of formula."
