8.15pm West Indies need 203 to go 1-0 up and give coach Daren Sammy a winning start. Sammy warmly welcomes back the WI players. Keemo Paul marked his return with three wickets and was assisted by Odean Smith, Dominic Drakes and Yannic Cariah. For UAE, Ali Naseer impressed on debut, scoring a 47-ball half-century. Here's Vriitya Aravind: "We had a good partnership and Ali Naseer played well. Not the easiest wicket to bat on. They bowled well and they stopped a quite a few boundaries. I think we have an offspinner, left-arm spinner, and a legspinner. I was pretty pissed off after I got out. You get annoyed when you get out in the thirties and forties. We got a lot of comfort from the UAE series and it's a good environment to perform". We will be back shortly for WI's reply.
