2.26pm Right, an exciting chase coming up, and Saurabh will pick up the reins of that in a short while. While you wait for the chase to begin, here's an interesting long read on an inspirational rugby story that will soon come alive on the silver screen. When you get done with that, take this quiz I put together on the fathers of cricket. Make sure you share your scores on Twitter and over here. Ciao!
Shai Hope tells Simon Doull: "It was a bit slow, but enjoyed batting there. We've got some good power in the bowling, and we've got to capitalise on the new ball and pick some wickets. Shimron and Jason batted well to give us some impetus, especially at that stage."
2.20pm This match is quite interestingly poised at the half-way stage. You'd have to say West Indies have done the hard yards by posting 321 on the board. But this looks like a decent batting wicket, the ground is a small one, and West Indies could be a bowler short today, since they omitted Carlos Brathwaite to accommodate Darren Bravo. The innings ebbed and flowed, but it was really the innings of Shai Hope which gave them the glue to work around
