- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.1 soft dismissal! King bites the dust! Back of a length delivery on leg stump that seems to stick in the surface just a touch. King tries to tuck it away off his hips but because the ball does not arrive as quickly as he would have hoped, he plonks it straight to mid wicket, who snaffles up the chance! 0/15.4 Phillip cleans up Mayers with an absolute corker! Length delivery on middle stump that shapes in and also seems to deck back off the surface. Mayers, like has been the case for much of this innings, does not move his feet and dangles his bat in hope more than anything else. The ball whizzes past the bat and sends middle stump flying. Mayers' struggles come to an end and West Indies are in early trouble! 14/227.3 Charles can't help himself! Taylor was brought on ostensibly to bowl to Pooran but he's created two chances in two balls to the righty Charles and this time nabs him. Taylor drags the length much wider outside off stump and Charles winds up for a wild heave before skying this off a thick edge swirling to backward point/short third. Netravalkar shuffles to his left to take a simple catch on the ring. 137/426.4 reckless skied slap to the cover sweeper! Hope looks like he was not content taking singles despite USA's bowlers not really threatening to take wickets anytime soon and he throws away his wicket. Kenjige floats up a very innocuous delivery on a fullish length on fifth stump. Hope plays an uncontrolled one-handed backhand shot that floats toward Jahangir 10 yards in from the rope at wide cover sweeper. He juggles a straightforward chance before holding on theatrically. 129/335.5 almost a mirror of the wicket taken by left-armer Kenjige to remove right-hander Hope. Flighted full on fifth stump, innocuous ball and Pooran goes for an expansive lofted drive picking out Jahangir on the cover sweeper boundary. He gets into position five yards in from the rope and takes a somewhat theatrical catch tumbling backward. 192/545.2 Kenjige redeems himself! Slower ball back of a length on sixth stump, Chase struggles to keep the hands back and skies a pull to deep midwicket. Kenjige covers 20 yards coming in off the rope before sliding on his knees to slow himself down and take a safe catch into his chest. 266/735.6 Taylor is on a hat-trick! Yet another careless dismissal! Floated full on seventh stump, Powell tries to smoke a drive over long-off but scuffs the shot and picks out Gajanand Singh 10 yards in from the rope at chest height. 192/649.1 full in the slot on seventh stump, drives in the air and picks out Jones five yards in from the long-off rope for a simple chest height catch. 295/947.3 slower ball lands on a fullish length on seventh stump, skies a slog toward Gajanand Singh at wide long-on. He settles under this seven yards inside the rope for a simple chest height catch. 286/849.3 full and wide, in the slot to pump but he strokes this too flat to Taylor at extra cover in the ring and he lunges to his right to pluck this at knee height. 297/10Extras13 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL297 all out (49.3 Overs, RR: 6)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Brandon King, 2.1 ov), 2-14 (Kyle Mayers, 5.4 ov), 3-129 (Shai Hope, 26.4 ov), 4-137 (Johnson Charles, 27.3 ov), 5-192 (Nicholas Pooran, 35.5 ov), 6-192 (Rovman Powell, 35.6 ov), 7-266 (Roston Chase, 45.2 ov), 8-286 (Keemo Paul, 47.3 ov), 9-295 (Jason Holder, 49.1 ov), 10-297 (Alzarri Joseph, 49.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.3 Mayers gets Taylor! Length delivery angled into the fourth stump channel. On pitching, though, the ball just holds its line. By then, Taylor has decided he wants to crash it through cover and because he is not to the pitch of the ball, the deviation takes the outside edge and nestles into Hope's gloves! 35/27.5 taken at third man! Length delivery outside off stump that seems to leave the batter just a shade. Modani is not to the pitch of the ball and slashes at it, getting a thick outside edge that carries to Paul at third man, who completes a smart catch diving forward! 35/112.5 the pressure yields another wicket! Mayers has two! Back of a length delivery outside off stump that seems to bounce just a little bit extra. Patel, without much foot movement, throws his hands at it and slices it towards backward point. Chase dives high to his left and completes a superb catch! 54/320.1 chaos! Good length ball on fifth stump, tapped innocuously behind point for what should be a dot. Jones wants a run and sets off but there's a diving stop. Gajanand set off briefly too but then turns back and both men wind up at the bowler's end. A panicky throw goes wide at the bowler's end where both batters are, but is well backed up by the mid-on fielder and there's still plenty of time for a second relay to the wk. Jones belatedly sets off trying to get back to the striker's end but is toast by 10 yards. 97/513.4 Joseph into the wicket-taking act now! Back of a length delivery on off stump that zips off the surface and also seems to nip in a shade. Mukkamalla is caught on the crease and has a swish across the line, getting a feather through to Hope, who does the rest! USA in all sorts of strife now! 55/433.6 Joseph gets Jahangir! Back of a length delivery on middle and leg stump that rushes onto Jahangir and also cramps him for room. He tries to pull it away but cannot free his arms. In the end, he splices it straight to mid wicket. USA lose their sixth, and Joseph has his second! 155/639.5 Jessy perishes! Given a bit of air on a length on off stump. Jessy tries to smash it into next week but does not get to the pitch of the ball. It holds in the surface just a touch and then skews off the top edge. Holder settles under it at short fine leg and completes the catch! 182/7Extras17 (lb 4, w 13)TOTAL258/7 (50 Overs, RR: 5.16)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Sushant Modani, 7.5 ov), 2-35 (Steven Taylor, 8.3 ov), 3-54 (Monank Patel, 12.5 ov), 4-55 (Saiteja Mukkamalla, 13.4 ov), 5-97 (Aaron Jones, 20.1 ov), 6-155 (Shayan Jahangir, 33.6 ov), 7-182 (Jasdeep Singh, 39.5 ov)
