    12.2 flight from Agar produces the edge to backward point! Agar kept on flighting these deliveries on fourth stump on a fullish length that Hope habitually groped at and this is yet another one where Hope pushes much too far in front of his body not really trying to score. The hard-handed shot balloons in the air between short third man and backward point but it is Marsh at backward point who charges forward and dives to pluck this inches from the ground. 41/2
    7.2 Hazlewood strikes to remove another batsman with this around the wicket angle back of a length. Hazlewood bangs this in on a fifth stump line, enough width to tempt Hetmyer into a back foot punch but there's a touch of variable bounce and it disrupts Hetmyer enough to produce an inside edge dragging onto the stumps. Hetmyer shapes like he wanted to swing his bat and destroy the stumps in frustration before opting to walk off in silence instead. 24/1
    18.2 carved high in the air, taken at point! Poor choice from Bravo given the situation. Trying to go down the ground as he did earlier, slices off a thick outer part of the bat. He knew straightaway 59/4
    13.6 my goodness! Bowled without offering a shot in a limited overs match?!?! Turner has been slanting every ball in from very wide of the crease and getting decent turn to most deliveries. Pooran strides forward to this ball that pitches on fifth stump on a good length and shoulders arms expecting it to straighten safely wide of off stump but it skids on as an arm ball and pings back off stump. It clips the very top of off to kick off the bails. 46/3
    22.1 strikes first ball! What a change of bowling. Over the wicket, full at off stump, goes for the drive and lofts it to cover as he slices across the shot. Dangerous stroke on this surface 71/5

    23.5 cleans him up! Another poor stroke. Full at middle and leg, Holder swipes across the line and it takes the top of leg stump 75/6
    35.1 gem first up! What a bowler! He went mostly unrewarded in that new-ball spell but strikes immediately here probing straightaway on the fourth stump channel with a good length ball at 136 kph. Joseph prods forward but this clips the edge and carries through comfortably to Carey. Not much else Joseph could've done there. 119/7
    38.2 Walsh Jr can't survive the next ball. Pitched up fuller on leg stump and tries to produce a booming drive over long-off but instead just skies a chance to mid-off on the ring. Henriques backpedals from the ring and pulls off a sharp catch reaching above his head. Makes up for a sloppy drop at mid-off on a much easier chance when Pooran was on 26 two nights earlier. 132/8
    40.5 googly looks like it's cleaned up Hosein with a stumping. Flighted beautifully on fourth stump to suck him forward trying to flick through midwicket but it spins past the shot and his back leg overstretches on the shot. Carey is razor sharp whipping the bails off with his toe still in the air trying to get back into his ground. Wonderfully set up and cleverly executed. 137/9
    45.1 Starc was searching for a yorker but spears in a full toss at knee height on off stump at 142 kph. In truth it was a poor delivery but Cottrell shows what a tailender he is with an even worse attempt to stab it out. Flails at this while hopping away from the stumps and off stump is ripped out of the ground. The ball makes contact with the turf only after clanging into the timber. 152/10

    7.4 fullish length down leg side, Philippe goes to flick and gets a clear feather edge down leg side. Joseph celebrates wildly and Hope shuffles to his left to take a simple catch at chest height standing upright. Great footwork to not need to put in any sort of dive. 27/2
    2.2 no reprieve for Henriques this time! His tour from hell ends in a ball of flames. Hosein darts this arm ball in at 94 kph on off stump, Henriques shuffles across to defend down the wrong line well outside the line of the ball playing for turn and is thumped below the knee roll. Hosein, Hope, Pollard, everyone within vicinity of the bat goes up in an uproarious appeal and Joel Wilson gives this out immediately. Henriques walks straight off without consulting Philippe about burning a review. 10/1
    20.1 big appeal as Carey goes for the sweep but that looked to have pitched outside leg. A review is called. West Indies look confident. Actually, pitched straighter than I first though...no bat or glove. Pitches on leg stump and hitting leg stump. 99/4
    13.4 bounced out! Short ball plan finally comes off! Angles a bouncer onto the legs at 133 kph, Marsh swivels to hook and he's a touch early as the ball comes off the back of the bat and feathers through to Hope whose footwork is marvelous as he takes another leg side chance standing upright rather than diving. Marsh walks rather than wait for the umpire's decision and is fuming with himself all the way to the dugout. 65/3
