Re-live all the action live from the Cricket World Cup as the West Indies thrashed Pakistan in match two at Trent Bridge.
England got the tournament off to a flying start on Thursday – literally in the case of Ben Stokes’ acrobatic catch – as the hosts defeated South Africa, butFriday's encounter failed to live up to its billing as Pakistan slumped to a dismal 11th straight ODI defeat..
Andre Russell, Jason Holder and Oshane Thomas ripped through the Pakistan batting order, with Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam top-scoring with just 22 runs each as they posted 105 all-out, before Chris Gayle's half-century led the West Indies to an easy victory after losing only three wickets in 13.4 overs. Follow the live updates below.
Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's Cricket World Cup action as the West Indies face Pakistan in match two at Trent Bridge.

Babar is in as his replacement.
4.0 27-1 Iman 3 Fakhar 21
Fakhar really motoring already here.
A lovely punch into the off side, helping himself to three.
Babar's first ball is a near replica, Holder struggling to contain Pakistan so far, 20 off his two overs.
5: Pakistan 33-1 Iman 9 Fakhar 21

FOUR!
Haris swipes Cottrell away to the boundary, much-needed!
Pakistan starting to build their way out of trouble here.
8. Pakistan 42-2 Babar 12 Haris 5
Some real venom from Dre here! A lovely bouncer forcing Babar to duck for cover.
It's followed up by another! He ends his over with one more for good measure.
After two overs, Russell is 1-4. Very tidy indeed.

WICKET!
Brathwaite into the Windies attack, four dots and three runs to continue the struggle for Pakistan.
Russell continues his devastating spell, picking up the wicket of Haris, who goes for 8. It's being put down at 90 mph, Russell is a problem! 2-4 from three overs.
11. Pakistan 50/3 Babar 12 Sarfaraz 4
DROPPED!
Hetmyer puts down Babar, who cuts Brathwaite's delivery down the off side. It's down to his left and it should have been taken.
Sarfaraz with a much-needed four to end the over and bring up the 50 for Pakistan.

Babar picking things up now, taking Thomas to the boundary through the leg side.

It's a first ever World Cup scalp for Oshane Thomas, who takes Babar with some impressive help from the athletic Shai Hope, Babar made 22.
Hafeez with a fine chop to the ropes on the back foot, before clipping another four to the leg side.
The Windies are flying here though,and despite a promising start from Hafeez, Pakistan are in big trouble.
16. Pakistan 75/4 Hafeez 11 Sarfaraz 8
Thomas back in and delivering some fierce stuff. Upper 80s in terms of mph, Pakistan aren't able to utilise that speed just yet.
Some deep discussion in the middle as Pakistan look to build their way back into this.
18. Pakistan 79/7 Hafeez 13 Ali 1
WICKET! WICKET! WICKET!
Holder gets Sharfaraz to tickle one behind and after the help of Ultra Edge, Pakistan are in all sorts of bother.
Imad is in the middle but doesn't last long, Holder forces him to glove one back, with Gayle grasping it well.
Thomas then delivers a menacing delivery, angling in to deceive Shadab, who goes for 0.
19. Pakistan 83/8 Hafeez 13 Wahab 1
WICKET!
Holder with a short one that Hassan can't control, it's ballooned up for Cottrell to gather to trigger howls of delight.
This one is over!
20. Pakistan 85/9 Wahab 2 Amir 1
WICKET!
Thomas with a bouncer, and Hafeez cannot yank his bat out of the way. Cottrell dashes in to gather and it's nearly over for Pakistan.
A miserable batting display.

SIX!
Wahab gives the Pakistani fans something to cheer about, hammering one to the deep square boundary and into the stands, a huge six!
They've brought up 100, some pride being shown here.
Pakistan ALL OUT for 105!
Devastating bowling display from the West Indies, Oshane Thomas cleans out Wahab to bring an end to a dismal batting display.
