Pakistan beat the West Indies by three runs in a T20 in Trinidad but the match was interrupted by an injury scare for Ahmed Shehzad.
The Pakistani batsman collided with Chadwick Walton during the second innings and was taken off the outfield in an ambulance in a neck brace with fears he had suffered a concussion.
Remarkably, Shehzad was able to rejoin the game before the end of the West Indian innings having been given the all-clear by doctors.
But there was real concern for his well-being at the time, as medics rushed to his side on the wicket in Port-of-Spain.
`Initially, [Shehzad] showed concussion signs and pain within the neck,` Shane Hayes, Pakistan physio, told Cricinfo.`Ahmed returned from hospital after imaging found nothing wrong with his spine.`
The visitors` victory leaves them with an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series. The West Indies, easily overhauled on Sunday, won the toss and decided to bowl first.
Captain Carlos Brathwaite led a sterling effort to limit Pakistan to 132, taking three wickets, holding two catches and making a run out.
Babar Azam and Ahmed Shehzad were laying a foundation until Brathwaite gave himself the ball and took out Azam at 41 for two.
Fakhar Azam, normally an opener but making his debut in the middle of the order, made five, the same as the man he replaced, Mohammad Hafeez in the first T20.
Shoaib Malik took 15 off Brathwaite`s second over, but the latter got him in his third for 27 off 20 balls. Pakistan were five down for 87. Khan and Wahab Riaz contributed a valuable 36 for the ninth wicket before both fell in the last over.
West Indies` chase was bumpy at the start. There were three collisions, the first leading to opener Evin Lewis running himself out, and the third sending Shehzad to hospital.
Khan stalled West Indies` momentum, as he did on debut last Sunday. He bowled Walton through the gate for 21 in his second over, got Kieron Pollard stumped, bowled Rovman Powell for a duck in his third and took the outside edge of Marlon Samuels` bat on 44 in his fourth and last. West Indies slumped to 77 for five.
From then on, the run rate strangled the home side.
With 14 runs needed to win from the last over, Sunil Narine sent Ali`s first two poor deliveries to the boundary, and the crowd sensed a comeback. A wide added to the tension. But Ali suddenly rediscovered his groove, and ran out Narine off the penultimate ball.
Needing five off the last ball, Jason Holder could score only one.
