Brian Lara's 33rd Test century was not enough to prevent Pakistan strolling to a nine-wicket victory over West Indies on the fourth day in Lahore. | Brian Lara's 33rd Test century was not enough to prevent Pakistan strolling to a nine-wicket victory over West Indies on the fourth day in Lahore. |
Lara made 122 but West Indies slumped to 291 all out, leaving Pakistan only 12 runs left to get following their fine first innings effort of 485. | |
Pakistan lost Mohammad Hafeez but Imran Farhat and Younis Khan saw them home. | Pakistan lost Mohammad Hafeez but Imran Farhat and Younis Khan saw them home. |

Lara was at the crease on 28 when the day started, and added 137 with Shivnarine Chanderpaul for the fifth wicket. | |
He was dropped in the gully by Hafeez on 48, with Umar Gul the unlucky bowler, and he made Pakistan pay by reaching three figures off 180 balls, with 16 boundaries. | |
But an attempted sweep shot led to his downfall - lbw to Hafeez - and with Lara back in the dressing room, Pakistan were quick to press home the advantage. | |
Dwayne Bravo managed only two before he went leg-before to Gul, the pace bowler's eighth victim of the match, and leg-spinner Danish Kaneria then dismissed Denesh Ramdin for a single. | |
Chanderpaul, who should have been stumped off Kaneria on 56, finally fell for 81 to leave West Indies on 278-8, still one run behind. | |
A brave 15 from Dave Mohammed and eight from Jerome Taylor could only delay the inevitable as Pakistan paceman Umar Gul took 4-99 off 29 overs and Shahid Nazir ended with 3-63 off 20 overs. | A brave 15 from Dave Mohammed and eight from Jerome Taylor could only delay the inevitable as Pakistan paceman Umar Gul took 4-99 off 29 overs and Shahid Nazir ended with 3-63 off 20 overs. |
