1.03pm Well, that was an innings that never really got going. Oshane Thomas was a menace with the new ball, Hayden Walsh was superb with his legbreaks and googlies, and Roston Chase chipped in too. Andy Balbirnie battled for a half-century, but there wasn't enough support. Alan will be here shortly for the start of the chase.

"I felt more relaxed in the second spell and the ball began to turn a lot more, so I played with my lengths and my googlies a lot more," says Walsh, the man of the moment. "My role is to go into the last Powerplay, and a little at the death. We'd have loved it to be 180 but with the batsman we have we can definitely knock it off.."

Vinod Rajpal: "Hey Andrew.....Any thoughts on Aston Villa coming back trailing 0-3 vs Manchester City in EPL ?" Only that you can follow the action live on ESPN right now

Thomas to Young, OUT, pounded off a good length, down the ground, but not properly tonked... Keemo Paul, the sub fielder, swoops round from mid-off, calls for it early, avoids a collision with Roston Chase, and ends the innings for 203...
