- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.1 cover point runs backwards, wobbles, and then dives to his left to hold on to this. Sharafuddin the fielder. Superb catch. Mujeeb tosses this up at off stump and Gayle is looking to go over midwicket with the angle. The ball straightens though and he gets a leading edge that hangs high over cover 16/110.6 he retains strike and he's gone next ball. A loose shot. Length ball wide outside off with some lift. He looks to thump it through cover on the up and gets a healthy edge through to the keeper 50/222.6 100th ODI wicket for Rashid! The fastest. That looks tight, the umpire took a long time before raising his finger but this seems pretty close. It was a shortish delivery, sliding towards leg. Hope shaped to pull but it's the wrong'un and strikes him around the leg-stump region. 99/417.2 ah, what a dolly to get out to! Really, he had all of the leg side field to slam that through and he picks short midwicket like he's giving him a free practice session. A slower short one, a little too wide outside off, so he had to fetch his pull. He wouldn't be too proud with the placement there 73/332.5 has he nicked off here? Oh, yes, he has! A slider, pushed across outside his off-stump and he dares to flick against the turn, gets an outside edge to the keeper. Just a feather, well-spotted by the umpire 138/623.2 advances down the ground ad drives in the air. Just about evades cover, but hang on! Has ther ebeen a run out here? Yes, he's well out! Oh, jeez, this is terrible. Hetmyer comes down the track and drives through the cover. They cover the first two runs comfortably. They are initially jogging and then pick up speed after deciding late to go for the third. Hetmyer calls, then bails out with Holder halfway down. Too late for the captain to make it back 101/546.2 loses off stump. An ugly heave from Powell brings a close to an important knock. It's a regulation length ball pushed through flat towards off stump and he completely misses the line as he clears the front leg and swings from middle. It hits the top of off 204/837.4 slices to mid-off. Brathwaite's aggressive approach ends up costing him. This is a short of a length ball on off stump and he wants to slap it over midwicket. But it skids on faster than he has anticipated and he gets it off the high part of the bat. It's a simple catch in the end 163/746.4 trapped in front! Mujeeb has snuck a googly past the inside edge after drawing the batsman forward. He's looking to defend on the front foot and is struck in front of off stump. Not too difficult to give that out 204/946.5 another googly! Roach is drawn in on the front foot as well. He leaves a small gap as well. The fall pitches and rips through the defence to take out off stump 204/10Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL204 all out (46.5 Overs, RR: 4.35)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Chris Gayle, 5.1 ov), 2-50 (Evin Lewis, 10.6 ov), 3-73 (Marlon Samuels, 17.2 ov), 4-99 (Shai Hope, 22.6 ov), 5-101 (Jason Holder, 23.2 ov), 6-138 (Shimron Hetmyer, 32.5 ov), 7-163 (Carlos Brathwaite, 37.4 ov), 8-204 (Rovman Powell, 46.2 ov), 9-204 (Keemo Paul, 46.4 ov), 10-204 (Kemar Roach, 46.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR30.4 and he's got him! Oh this is...comical, really. Shahzad is sulking like he's been mankaded after facing bodyline bowling for four hours. But the truth is, it's just extremely slow bowling that has completely suckered him. Another loopy length ball from Gayle. Shahzad lines up, then decides to step out. Yorks himself and chips it straight to mid-off. Gayle is bemused. Shahzad shrugs...then pulls out a big celebration just outside the dressing room that hasn't caught Phil Simmons' imagination...absolute Under-14s stuff this! 148/29.4 there's the opening they were looking for. He's paid the price for sticking his bat out well away from his body. Shortish, feels for it loosely without getting behind the line and some late away movement results in an outside edge to third man 58/136.2 throws it away by needlessly stepping down for a glorious shot. Good innings, nonetheless, but he'd be kicking himself for not finishing it off. Blindly skips down to a flat length ball and doesn't get anywhere close to the pitch. Swings and makes no room, leaving the keeper to complete a straightforward stumping 170/3Extras10 (lb 2, w 8)TOTAL206/3 (40.4 Overs, RR: 5.06)Fall of wickets: 1-58 (Gulbadin Naib, 9.4 ov), 2-148 (Mohammad Shahzad, 30.4 ov), 3-170 (Rahmat Shah, 36.2 ov)
