- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.3 full and straight in the block-hole, squeezes it towards widish deep midwicket area, goes for the second run and a direct hit at the non-striker's end! Conway was just too slow coming back for the second run, stumbled twice, and he's well short of his ground! An excellent direct throw from Athanaze brings an end to Conway's innings. 114/35.5 Soft dismissal! Back of a length ball on the stumps, Robinson leans forward off the front foot and tries to play across the line, cramped for space and closes the face of the bat early as he tries to turn it around the corner, connects the leading edge and pokes a regulation catch back to Forde. 47/110.2 Shepherd finds the breakthrough! A tad fuller length ball from around the wicket, change of pace ball and held on the pitch, Ravindra plays through the line of the ball early and chips an easy catch to short cover. Matthew Forde makes no mistake there. 97/218.6 Massive wicket! Slower bouncer angling away outside off, Mitchell attempts to slice it over deep backward point, but does not find enough pace to work with, mishits the stroke to the off-side sweeper fielder near the ropes. 169/815.3 bowls a low full toss ball, misses the yorker length there. Mitchell squeezes it across the line to widish deep midwicket area, goes for the second run and looks like Bracewell is gone at the bowler's end. A well-directed throw comes in from the outfield player, Rovman Powell, the ball bounced just in front of Holder and he breaks the stumps quickly. 144/416.4 Cleaned him up! Full, straight and pace on delivery, Neesham goes for the big heave across the line and misses it completely, disturbs the furniture, and Forde is pumped up! 150/517.4 Santner bites the dust! Low full toss ball pitching wide outside off, plays through the line of the ball and connects the toe end of the bat, did not get enough elevation and distance to clear the ropes. Auguste comes around from deep backward point and dives in to complete a brilliant low catch. 159/618.4 Hard length ball on the stumps and Hay tries to send it downtown, once again mistiming the stroke and miscuing towards long on. Rovman Powell moves forward and settles underneath the catch, taking it cleanly. 168/719.5 fuller length ball forces it away towards the midwicket area, calling for the second run, but it was always tight for Jamieson, easy stuff for the Windies fielder, who sends the throw at the striker's end and Hope completes the third run out of the innings. 175/9Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL177/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8.85)Fall of wickets: 1-47 (Tim Robinson, 5.5 ov), 2-97 (Rachin Ravindra, 10.2 ov), 3-114 (Devon Conway, 12.3 ov), 4-144 (Michael Bracewell, 15.3 ov), 5-150 (James Neesham, 16.4 ov), 6-159 (Mitchell Santner, 17.4 ov), 7-168 (Mitchell Hay, 18.4 ov), 8-169 (Daryl Mitchell, 18.6 ov), 9-175 (Kyle Jamieson, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 And Duffy strikes straightaway! Short of a good length ball with extra bounce off the pitch and shapes away around off, plays off the back foot and tries to square cut the delivery, thick inside edge and drags it onto the stumps! 13/16.4 Massive appeal and the finger goes up! Wrong-un and stayed low on the track outside off, Athanaze backs away and plays the square cut stroke, gets a faint inside edge and Hay completes the catch behind the stumps. Athanaze looks completely confused about what just happened! He's signalling to Auguste that he thinks his jewelry on the neck might have clipped the helmet grille, causing the sound. The appeal has been sent upstairs, and Ultra Edge confirms it: there was a faint edge as the ball passed the bat. 53/31.5 Duffy gets the big fish! Banged in short pitched ball on the stumps, Hope plays the swivel pull shot half-heartedly, just using his wrists with gentle hands, picks out the fielder at deep backward square leg. Early trouble for West Indies, again! 15/28.6 Hello! What is happening out there! Full and straight ball driven to the left of midwicket, sets off for a quick impossible single straightaway. Santner slides on and cuts it off with neat hands, sending a quick throw towards Sodhi at the bowler's end. Auguste sensed the danger and turned back towards the danger zone, but he was too slow to get back to the crease. Quick hands from Sodhi as he clips the bails off, and Auguste is short of his ground there. 68/67.6 Rutherford's misery with the bat continues! Tossed up fuller length ball outside off, backs away early from the crease and plays it inside-out with the turn, slight deviation, and catches the outside edge; an easy catch for Sodhi at the edge of the circle in the short third. 60/48.5 Cleaned him up with a beaut! Generously flighted wrong-un ball right in the money, Powell gets down on one knee and goes for the big heave, massive gap between bat-pad as he misses the wild swing of the bat, hits the timber and the bails are flying. 68/511.3 generously flighted ball on the stumps, waits for the slower ball and goes for the big heave, mistimes the stroke and hits it flat towards the deep midwicket fielder. Robinson strides in a few yards and gobbles it up. 83/719.5 A low full toss delivered right on the stumps, and Shepherd went for the big heave! He completely miscued the stroke high into the air, failing to get enough power to clear the ropes. Mitchell settled perfectly underneath the ball at long off, took the catch comfortably, and Jamieson is absolutely pumped! Once again, the West Indies have fallen short of the target right at the final moment. 168/1012.3 generously flighted stock delivery from Sodhi on the stumps, gets down on one knee and plays the paddle. Massive appeal as Forde misses the line and length there and hits the front pad, but the umpire is not interested. Santner opts to send it upstairs for another look. Did it hit the glove first? Ultra Edge confirms the ball hits the pad, and ball tracking shows all three reds, and hitting the leg stump. 88/818.6 Duffy pulls off an absolute stunner!! Hard length ball around the off stump line, Springer clears the front leg and bludgeons it hard and flat to the left of Duffy. Following his bowling follow-through, he launched into a fully stretched dive to his left, keeping a sharp eye on Springer's bullet stroke. He managed to get both hands in the line of the ball and somehow held onto it! What a catch! That is a match-changing moment!
