Live updates of the Cricket World Cup pool match between Pakistan and the West Indies.

Both sides will be keen for a win to start the tournament after missing out on the semifinals four years ago. Pakistan, the 1992 champions, haven't been in a final since 1999 while it's been an even longer run for the West Indies who last made the final in 1979 when they captured their second straight title.

The West Indies follow today's game with three tough encounters against Australia, South Africa and England making a win today vital. They impressed in their last warm-up against the Black Caps smashing 421 in a convincing win.
