8.20pm The UAE team get into a huddle before they take refuge in the dressing room. They've done quite well in the back end of the innings. Just one wicket in the first 20 overs. But four of them fell between overs 21 and 33 and five between overs 40 and 50. On a slow and low pitch - with conditions even allowing for reverse swing - the old ball proved to be a very useful weapon in the hands of the home team's accurate medium pacers, especially Zahoor Khan.
Brandon King and Johnson Charles scored brisk half-centuries but the middle-order couldn't really build on the foundation and it needed a cameo from Odean Smith for them to get to the 300 that they once looked destined for. There's a chance here for the UAE. A couple of partnerships could get them within striking distance. Join us in 20 minutes for the chase
Bilal: "West Indies looked set for a score well north of 350. UAE should be proud of themselves for pulling this back. Even if this total might yet be to steep a hill for them to climb. "
Selwin: "Unfair comments to this WI team. How many players in this line up and squad have played more than 35 ODIs? or even 30 ODIs?"

Mohan: "Not sure why everyone is talking bad about West Indies. UAE team is made of international players."
