Shahid Afridi needs one wicket to go clear of Shaun Pollock as the outright fifth-highest ODI wicket-taker. Both have 393 wickets.

This is a terrific, wholehearted spell from Wahab. The bustling seamer sends one past whistling past the groping blade of Bravo, and with his next delivery he does find the edge, but it drops just short of Haris Sohail at slip.

These two batsmen have had a lot of lives now - can they kick on and take advantage of their good fortune?

Afridi, who no doubt will still be smarting about that miss, takes the ball again. He rushes through the over for the loss of three singles - is he giving himself enough time between deliveries to out-think the batsmen?

"It's those little errors that are costly. That's three catches dropped now. Teams need to show urgency and quickness around the park but they also need precision and concentration."

Wahab's pace is keeping the Windies batsmen pinned back in the crease, and the pressure tells when Samuels is late on an attempted pull and spoons it up to short midwicket, but a simple catch is put down.

Who is the fielder dragging himself up disconsolately from the turf? Surprise surprise, it's Shahid Afridi, who usually sets the standards for Pakistan in the field.

Like the job interviewer from hell, Afridi just keeps on asking exacting questions. He slides one millimetres past the outside edge of Samuels' blade - it misses Akmal's gloves and hits the keeper on the chest.

This is a tricky period for Bravo and Samuels, who have steadied the ship well for West Indies but now face two very contrasting threats from each end. Back to the thunderbolts of Wahab Riaz.

Best way to deal with express pace? Turn it to your advantage. Darren Bravo does exactly that when he guides Riaz very fine down to third man for four.

"It's a different contest from the three New Zealand games I have watched. These sides haven't really got themselves into the World Cup yet."

Afridi took his best-ever ODI figures against West Indies - 7-12 in Providence in 2013 - but so far he hasn't quite been able to find the magic. Five from another nearly-but-not-quite over.

Misbah-ul-Haq rings the changes and brings Wahab Riaz into the attack. Riaz was touching 96mph in the match against India. He is brisk.

The West Indies batsmen decide that it might be worth taking an over to get their eye in against this guy - just two singles from the over.

West Indies 69-2 from 15 overs (Pakistan won toss)

Umar Akmal has caught one in the gloves - did Darren Bravo get a little tickle on it? Nigel Llong says yes, but Bravo calls immediately for a review...

Not out is the verdict of the third umpire. Shahid Afridi looks decidedly miffed, but the irrepressible spinner is making things happen here.

"At the moment West Indies are playing these spinners well and picking off the singles without taking too many risks. If this carries on too long I think Wahib Riaz with his pace is an obvious option."

Marlon Samuels is keener to cut than a lumberjack with a shiny new saw. Haris Sohail's flighty, floaty spin is just sitting up a little off the surface and offering plenty of temptation for the batsmen.

So far though the Windies batsmen are playing him well. Bravo gets two with a slap through the covers.

Afridi's figures took a bit of a bruising against India, when Virat Kohli et al played him so well, but he'll be licking his lips at the prospect of bowling against a team not traditionally so adept at playing spin.

He has his hands on his head in frustration as Samuels steers one just wide of slip, but it's delicately played and earns the batsman three.

Spin from both ends as all-rounder Haris Sohail is handed the cherry - he'll give the ball much more flight compared to the faster, flatter stylings of Afridi.

The slower pace does invite a bit of tap when you get it wrong though, and when he drops slightly short, Bravo rocks back in the crease and pulls him wide of long-on for four.

Here comes the wily old fox, Shahid Afridi, to bowl his cunning leg-spin. Pakistan have left out their other frontline spinner Yasir Shah today, so they'll need Afridi to go well.

He makes a good start, conceding just a single from his fist over.

"Here in Wellington it's the morning after the mauling before. The headline in this newspaper says it all.

"And it's raining today, about 20 hours too late for England."

Marlon Samuels is determined to wrest back the initiative for West Indies here - he creams Sohail to the mid-off boundary when the bowler overpitches slightly. But he continues to mix loose strokes with his good shots - swinging airily at a straight one and inviting an optimistic caught-behind appeal from Sohail.

Powerplay over, and it's advantage Pakistan after that first passage of play.
