- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 Oh my days, what a catch by Hetmyer! Banged in short outside off, Guptill cuts up and over and for all money the ball seems like going over deep point, with the wind. But Hetmyer stationed there, plucked his left arm out, caught the ball and made sure he did not go over the ropes. Stunning effort. 62/17.4 Two in two and another brilliant catch! All of a sudden Smith is on a hat-trick. Another short of length delivery down leg. Conway goes for a half-hearted pull, almost as if he was looking to help it towards fine leg. The ball instead catches the top edge and goes to the keeper Thomas, who was wrong-footed yet somehow threw himself to his left to snaffle it up. 62/217.3 picks out the best fielder in the WI team! Back of a length ball angling into off. Williamson goes for the cross-batted pull from near waist high, and it goes to deep square leg. Walsh runs to his left from deep backward square leg, puts in some air time in his dive, and the ball sticks. Out for a 33-ball 47 149/511.6 length ball angling in, but slower ball too. Phillips looks to pull, but takes a top edge and the ball is comfortably pocketed by short fine 98/316.3 appeal, and given! Six and out? Wait.... they'll review. Pace-off length ball angling across. Mitchell loses his shape as he tries to drag a slog to the leg side. Ball goes just under the bat, and there's a spike as it passes the bat. The catch is obviously clean, so Mitchell has to go. 144/4Extras9 (w 9)TOTAL185/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.25)Fall of wickets: 1-62 (Martin Guptill, 7.3 ov), 2-62 (Devon Conway, 7.4 ov), 3-98 (Glenn Phillips, 11.6 ov), 4-144 (Daryl Mitchell, 16.3 ov), 5-149 (Kane Williamson, 17.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 Loud appeal and up goes the umpire's finger! Lovely in-swinger and Mayers once again misses the flick. He is hit on the pads and on first viewing that looked adjacent, and the umpire's finger went up immediately. He reviews, however. Looks mighty close and yes, replays confirm umpire's call on impact. Mayers has to go. 14/111.4 skiddy ball, quicker one. Brooks is late in his attempted back-foot pull, and the ball has gone up for Mitchell at long on to take it. Holes out, fifth wicket gone. 79/54.1 And he strikes immediately! That is a disappointing shot. Short ball outside off, he goes for the pull and the extra bounce does him in. Pooran, hitting against the wind can only get a top-edge and Phillips running in from deep midwicket takes a simple catch. 39/25.1 And, now he strikes first ball! Pacy, back of a length ball outside off stump. Thomas is caught in all sorts of a tangle as he looks for a half-hearted pull. The ball catches the top edge and spoons to Ish Sodhi, who trudges back from short fine leg and completes a comfortable chance. 41/36.5 That is a soft, soft dismissal! Length ball on middle and leg stump. Hetmyer gets across and swings towards square leg, but does not swing hard enough. Can only hit it as far as Neesham, who accepts the chance gleefully. Hetmyer departs, and West Indies are sliding quickly. 49/415.4 short ball, on off and gets a bit big on Holder as he tries to pull. Not the best timing and the ball goes high up against the evening sky. Phillips takes a simple one at cow corner 114/714.4 taken? No? Yes! The stunning catches continue today. Sodhi goes full and wide. Powell tries to slog across the line, against the turn, but the ball flies off the edge. Neesham at point has to backtrack and run behind, but stretches out to hold on before taking a tumble. 107/6Extras10 (lb 4, w 6)TOTAL172/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Kyle Mayers, 1.4 ov), 2-39 (Nicholas Pooran, 4.1 ov), 3-41 (Devon Thomas, 5.1 ov), 4-49 (Shimron Hetmyer, 6.5 ov), 5-79 (Shamarh Brooks, 11.4 ov), 6-107 (Rovman Powell, 14.4 ov), 7-114 (Jason Holder, 15.4 ov)
