Anyway, that is that for now as the players head off for dinner. Ekanth will join us in about 40 minutes to take you through the opening stages of Pakistan's chase
Sheraaz : "vintage cricket vibes, very happy with the new rule of 34 overs 1 ball." Absolutely. Incentivises skilled bowlers to go for yorkers, and rewards them for getting it right while keeping batters interested.

Naseem Shah to Blades, OUT, finishes this innings off with another fiery yorker! Full, straight and tailing back in, and he slices through Blades like a hot knofe through butter. Just too good for the number 11, and Naseem gets a bit of redemption after the mixed day he's had with the ball.
J Blades b Naseem Shah 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
Moeed: "Need this luck in my life which WI is using rn"
MAB: "Leaking runs to tail Enders could cost you in the second innings. Anything above 280 would be very challenging."

Naseem Shah to Motie, OUT, cleans him up with a yorker, and this time the bails fly off the groove. Naseem has deserved that. Perfect middle stump yorker gets underneath the ramp Motie was trying to play and makes a mess of the stumps. It's been a valuable innings from Motie nevertheless, getting West Indies as close to 300 as possible
G Motie b Naseem Shah 31 (33m 18b 3x4 2x6) SR: 172.22

Naseem Shah to Motie, 2 runs, squeezes the slower ball past fine leg and the pair scurry through for a couple

Naseem Shah to Motie, SIX, lovely shot to compound Pakistani frustrations. Off drive over cover, and it flies over the ropes

Naseem Shah to Motie, no run, that is absurd. A yorker from Naseem that goes through Motie's legs at 140kph. It hits the outside edge of legstump, which moves outward, but does not dislodge the bail

Naseem Shah to Motie, FOUR, slower ball heaved towards midwicket, and once more, with two fielders coming together, Pakistan make a mess of it. Muqin dives but gets nothing on the ball and it gifts West Indies a boundary
