- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 Spooned straight back to the bowler. That's a soft serve with a waffle cone gifted to McMullen for him to complete his three-for in his third over! Just before the ball, the captain and bowler decided to send a sweeper to the cover boundary. It was a double-bluff as the fullish ball was straight. On off stump and King's fell across as he got mixed up between working it away towards mid-on and pushing it straight. It lobbed up straight back to the bowler. 25/31.6 Soft dismissal but somewhat loose from Charles who spoons a wide ball to the right of McBride at cover point. From the replay, it looks like it was right on the edge of length, not dissimilar from the last ball of the first over where King went for a similar shot. Started wide, swung late and went away further, off the pitch. Charles chased it with a square drive and couldn't keep it down. It was sailing breezily and McBride leapt to the right and took it with his arms stretched in front. 9/13.6 Sharp catch to the left by Watt at first slip. Brooks is also out chasing the wide one, his attempt was more full-fledged than that of Charles. But he got an edge off the slashing cut, it's thin and the ball went fine. The keeper was up to the stumps, which meant Watt had to react with his vision slightly limited. He took it close to neck-height. Brilliant catch 16/212.2 Sharif nicks off Hope, it's a repeat of the dismissal from the 2018 qualifier notes Ian Bishop on air. Hope is opened up again. Length ball just outside off, Hope tried to play inside the line but tried to guide it to deep third with a fully open bat face. He even took a couple of steps towards the other end but realised all he did, while jumping up from the crease as he played the shot - was tickled it to the keeper 60/56.5 Off stump cartwheels and Sole waves Mayers goodbye! What a ball! Zips in off a length and Mayers tried to block it towards cover. Feet got stuck and he was beaten by the straigheting ball on the outside edge, the ball absolutely hammered the stumps. Scotland's dream start continues. Cross, the keeper, had to take just two steps across to collect the fallen stump. Scenes. 30/420.4 Pooran bites the dust! What a moment in the game! Given just a bit of air on a length outside off. Pooran's eyes light up and he tries to deposit it onto the grass banks over cow corner. Does not get to the pitch of the ball, though, and ends up slicing it. Deep mid wicket settles under it and after multiple juggling attempts, eventually holds on to the chance. McBride would have had his heart in his mouth for a bit but in the end, he did just enough! 81/637.1 Celebrappeal from Cross behind the stumps, and it's given lbw! Looked plumb. Holder squared himself up to pull the back-of-length ball through midwicket. His legs were bent, he got hit on the back leg - on the thigh pad - in front of middle and off after being beaten. It's pitching on off and hitting middle and off. Three reds and Holder now goes. Both set batters out in the space of four balls! 158/836.4 Sharif takes a one-handed blinder to the left. Shepherd goes through all emotions as he pumps the air and hops in disappointment. It was a length ball outside off that was cut again. Hit in the air and more off the top edge but it was flying at pace. Sharif was searching with his hands out and his hat fell over as he continued to extended the hand and completed the superman reach-out catch. Watt is chuffed 158/742.2 Sole gets his 50th ODI wicket with the middle stump cartwheeling past the crease line on the leg side The dropped catch leads to a wicket at the other end. It was a full ball. Sinclair stood leg side and tried to pump it straight, missed it completely. West Indies nine down with nearly eight overs to go 174/943.5 Softie to end. Joseph pulls it straight to midwicket! Short ball just over the pads, Joseph rocked back and tried to lump it again. Got a bit big on him and the ball lobbed to the skipper 181/10Extras17 (b 4, lb 5, w 8)TOTAL181 all out (43.5 Overs, RR: 4.12)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Johnson Charles, 1.6 ov), 2-16 (Shamarh Brooks, 3.6 ov), 3-25 (Brandon King, 5.2 ov), 4-30 (Kyle Mayers, 6.5 ov), 5-60 (Shai Hope, 12.2 ov), 6-81 (Nicholas Pooran, 20.4 ov), 7-158 (Romario Shepherd, 36.4 ov), 8-158 (Jason Holder, 37.1 ov), 9-174 (Kevin Sinclair, 42.2 ov), 10-181 (Alzarri Joseph, 43.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 gone first ball! What a start for the West Indies! Low full toss angled into the pads. McBride could have hit that anywhere. Instead, he flicks it loosely and uppishly, straight to Sinclair at mid wicket! Just what the West Indies needed; just what Scotland would not have wanted! 0/129.2 Slapped flat in the air, finds Joseph at long-on! McMullen's brilliant game ends. It was on a length at the stumps, he tried to pull it for six. Couldn't get it off the middle and Joseph took it around shoulder height. Very subdued celebrations. McMullen looks up in disappointment as he walks back 125/239.3 holes out to deep point! Full delivery on middle and leg stump. Munsey brings out the reverse sweep and tries to hit it into the stands. Does not quite get the power he is after, though, and offers a very regulation chance to Charles, who makes no mistake! 162/3Extras11 (lb 2, w 9)TOTAL185/3 (43.3 Overs, RR: 4.25)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Christopher McBride, 0.1 ov), 2-125 (Brandon McMullen, 29.2 ov), 3-162 (George Munsey, 39.3 ov)
