- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 edged and taken. Guptill's start to the new year isn't great. Cotterell sprays one across the right-hander and Guptill indiscreetly slashes outside off to send a thick edge into the hands of the wicketkeeper Chad Walton 3/15.5 finally some respite for West Indies. Munro tries to heave a length ball over long-on. This time the room isn't as much and he gets slightly tucked up. Sends a catch into the hands of the fielder in the deep. Powerplay done, but Munro has inflicted some serious damage already 78/27.1 Badree strikes with a skidder. Phillips is completely baffled. Tries to bring the bat down for a flick and is rapped in front of middle and leg. Looked plumb. Just skidded on from a good length region 92/38.3 what a catch! Carlos Brathwaite with one of the best catches I've seen. Tell you what, we're in the first day of 2018 but this will be among the contenders for catch of the year by the time 2018 winds down. Bruce tried to pull this one and it seemed as though he had picked the gap well enough. That's, of course, if you completely don't account for Brathwaite at midwicket, flinging himself full-length to his right and stretching out the right hand to pluck a stunner. Little time to react but he was so quick 97/4Extras3 (nb 1, w 2)TOTAL102/4 (9 Overs, RR: 11.33)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Martin Guptill, 0.4 ov), 2-78 (Colin Munro, 5.5 ov), 3-92 (Glenn Phillips, 7.1 ov), 4-97 (Tom Bruce, 8.3 ov)
