3.07pm: Afghanistan must take heart from that first innings, though. There was plenty of life on offer on this pitch for the spin bowlers, and Rashid Khan would want to lead from the front as the home side looks to make a fist of this. The West Indies middle order will have a stern examination ahead of them, and again the likes of Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer and Roston Chase could have a big role to play with the bat

3.02pm WOWZA! What an effort from 'Rahkeem the Dream'! West Indies won the toss, elected to bowl, and they would gleefully accept an Afghanistan total of 187. Their destroyer-in-chief was the gentle, but intelligent, off-spin from Rahkeem Cornwall, who finishes with 7 for 75. These are the best first-innings figures for any West Indie spinner since Jack Noregia took 9 for 95 against India 48 years ago!

Holder to Amir Hamza, OUT, and Holder has his second. An outside edge to the keeper, a regulation catch for Dowrich. This was too good for Hamza, coming in with the angle, forcing the batsman to play and then moving away late to take the edge
