- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 top edge flies up and the skipper takes a steepler! Extra bounce is a Blessing for Zimbabwe. A touch shorter than the previous ball, and Mayers was rushed by it, looking to swing cross-batted over square leg. The ball hung in the air for a while but Chakabva settled underneath it and took a simple chance. West Indies lose their first 28/112.6 mayhem! Short and wide ball cut straight to backward point. Powell took a few steps down the track after making contact and may have suckered Charles into thinking there was a run, because Charles bolted on contact from the non-striker's end. But Powell was ball-watching rather than responding to any call. It did not look like there was a run there but the communication between the two was poor to non-existent. Powell decided to go back into his crease having shuffled out initially and a simple relay to the bowler's end gets Charles out by 15 yards. 97/49.5 picks out long-on, Raza is pumped! Not a great ball, short and wide outside off. Lewis' eyes lit up and he looked to swing him into the Tasman, but he mistimed his cross-batted heave straight down Shumba's throat. Raza celebrates with three consecutive fist-pumps and Lewis trudges off 77/212.2 spears in a quicker ball very full and Pooran had premeditated a shuffle down the track, practically turning this into a low full toss but shovels this awkwardly while losing his balance and spoons it off the toe tamely back to Williams, who takes the most basic of chest height catches to his left. 90/319.4 fullish length ball on middle, Powell goes for another enormous heave but skies this straight up. Ngarava settles on the ring under a mighty skier and holds on with palms facing into his chest. 150/713.3 good length ball on middle, loose flick across the line misses and a huge lbw shout is upheld. Brooks reviews immediately without even chatting to Powell. Did he think he hit it? Didn't look like any deviation live. Otherwise it was stone dead and ball-tracking confirms as much with three reds lighting up. No edge detected. West Indies lose a review. 97/513.6 another chip back to Raza! Innocuous ball full on middle, Holder loosely flicks this though and it floats low back to Raza at knee height and he clutches on moving to his right in front of the non-striker. 101/6Extras17 (lb 10, nb 2, w 5)TOTAL153/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Kyle Mayers, 3.3 ov), 2-77 (Evin Lewis, 9.5 ov), 3-90 (Nicholas Pooran, 12.2 ov), 4-97 (Johnson Charles, 12.6 ov), 5-97 (Shamarh Brooks, 13.3 ov), 6-101 (Jason Holder, 13.6 ov), 7-150 (Rovman Powell, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 slapped to point and Lewis holds onto a diving catch! Length ball, a hint of width and Madhevere looks to cut but can't keep it down. Lewis, in tight, flings himself high to his left and clings on as he tumbles to the ground. West Indies are bouncing, Holder leading the celebrations 58/42.2 chopped on! Chakabva's feet are rooted to the crease after that short ball, and he's swinging wildly across the line at a cross-seamer on a good length outside off stump. Drags it on via the inside edge 29/14.5 cleans him up with a 90mph/145kph yorker! Munyonga stayed leg-side of the ball and was camping back, ready for another back-of-a-length ball. But Joseph goes full, fast and straight, homing in on the base of middle stump. Munoynga is beaten all ends up 47/25.1 nicks him off! 85mph/137kph, full and very wide outside off stump. Williams frees his arms, looking to flash over the covers, but is done for pace and a thin outside edge flies through to Pooran, who is pumped! West Indies have three wickets in the powerplay and are right back in the game 48/37.2 spooned up to wide mid-off! Is that the game? Hard-length ball, wide outside off stump. Raza was looking to flash over cover with a cross-batted heave but couldn't find his timing, and Powell moved to his left on the edge of the ring to settle underneath it 64/510.4 full on middle, goes for a sweep but it's half-hearted and skies this to deep square leg. It floats to Brooks who takes a simple catch 10 yards in from the rope. Shumba played this intentionally in the air, but also didn't follow through with his shot. Peculiar attempt to clear the ropes, but then not really. Expected result followed. 79/613.3 yorker nails Burl on the toes in front of middle. Stone dead lbw! Burl goes for a review. This will be 90 seconds of our lives we'll never get back. Ball-tracking shows three reds light up with middle stump being ripped out. Bye bye. 92/717.1 bullseye! Yorker on middle stump, Jongwe backs away from leg trying to play through the off side but the delivery is too full and too good to get bat on trying to slice this out. Middle stump is speared. 120/915.3 bullseye! Length ball on middle and leg, wild heave across the line misses and the zing bails light up in the air after the top of middle and leg stump are knocked back. 102/818.2 bullseye! Another yorker is speared into the base of middle stump as Chatara plays over the top of it. West Indies players out in the middle celebrate with whoops and hollers like they've just won the World Cup. Phil Simmons in the dugout is far more stoic in his reaction. 122/10Extras11 (lb 2, nb 2, w 7)TOTAL122 all out (18.2 Overs, RR: 6.65)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Regis Chakabva, 2.2 ov), 2-47 (Tony Munyonga, 4.5 ov), 3-48 (Sean Williams, 5.1 ov), 4-58 (Wessly Madhevere, 6.5 ov), 5-64 (Sikandar Raza, 7.2 ov), 6-79 (Milton Shumba, 10.4 ov), 7-92 (Ryan Burl, 13.3 ov), 8-102 (Richard Ngarava, 15.3 ov), 9-120 (Luke Jongwe, 17.1 ov), 10-122 (Tendai Chatara, 18.2 ov)
