- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 Slapped off the toe of the bat and it's taken at long-off! Harmeet slowed down the pace after predominantly darting the ball so far, Johnson backed away and tried to belt it off side, but made a bit too much room and lost balance. He was falling over leg side and the bat was going the other way. Easy catch and Harmeet is jubilant. The opener gave his side a good start though 43/114.1 Anderson's first ball in the WC for USA dismisses the well set Dhaliwal. Cutter on a full length angling in and he tried to lash it through the line. The lack of pace meant he was into the shot too early and got it off the bottom of the bat, ball popped straight to Jasdeep at long-off. Again, a good innings from an opener 128/37.6 Pargat returns for a risky second, accurate throw from Jasdeep and the keeper does well to whip off the bails. Run-out referral made. This could be out. Yep, he's a goner despite the full-length dive!. Monank got the throw angling at him, he swayed his hands to the right and dislodged the bails with the batter being about a foot short. Was a length ball that was flicked around the corner, off the back foot. Jasdeep ran to the right and flung the ball at pace. A very flat and fast throw 66/217.5 Full ball has been skewered to cover, Kirton tried to end Canada's boundary-drought by lifting the full ball with an open face but couldn't get under the ball. Front leg was out the way, he got inside the line a bit too mucb as well. Hits it straight to Anderson 159/418.6 They look to sneak another two, throw is in at the keeper's end. Bails dislodged, decision sent upstairs. Bajwa dove forward... but is a few inches short. Bajwa had heaved it to the right of long-on 173/5Extras10 (lb 8, w 2)TOTAL194/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.7)Fall of wickets: 1-43 (Aaron Johnson, 5.2 ov), 2-66 (Pargat Singh, 7.6 ov), 3-128 (Navneet Dhaliwal, 14.1 ov), 4-159 (Nicholas Kirton, 17.5 ov), 5-173 (Dilpreet Bajwa, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 Kaleem strikes second ball! Good length ball around off. Skidding through to Taylor as he goes onto the back foot for a flick. Ball doesn't bounce as expected, and he's been caught in front of middle stump. Taylor reviews but looks despondent, and that's because this is crashing into leg stump. Silence all around the ground, except the DJ's music 0/16.3 edged and taken! Nicks this full ball outside off after charging down the track. Another wild shot from Monank and the slight shape away after pitching induced the edge. 42/215.4 relief for Canada. Length ball on off and Gous tries to club Dutta off the back foot over long on. But the attempted loft with the full face of the bat doesn't have the elevation or the power. But a solid 65 from the vice-captain after a slow start to his innings 173/3Extras19 (lb 2, nb 3, w 14)TOTAL197/3 (17.4 Overs, RR: 11.15)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Steven Taylor, 0.2 ov), 2-42 (Monank Patel, 6.3 ov), 3-173 (Andries Gous, 15.4 ov)
