Right, guys, it's been so much fun being around you guys this evening. We didn't get a result, but we talked Olympics, we watched Pakistan bring a very explosive West Indies batting line-up to heel, and we saw a glimpse of what Kieron Pollard can do at the end. Can't wait for the next three games as the series moves to Providence, Guyana. See you then!
02.02pm: The match has been abandoned
Roddy: "Hi guys. Can someone explain why even an additional few minutes to drain the outfield isn't possible? Not for for the fans. Can surely be more flexible " Because it's cricket, and cricket does things its own way. Can't really give you much more than that, I'm afraid.
This looks grim folks. We need to start in about 10 minutes to avoid a rained-out game, and that seems a tall order.
NAUMAN: "Ultimate dream in street cricket, bat and then don't have to ball/field."
So if there's no play till 02:06pm, it's a washout
Hello! Yep, rain's in the air as I take over.
As Jawad puts it: "Whenever himanshu gives it to Danyal, rain sets in. AHHH, the olympic swimming curse."
END OF OVER:9 | 13 Runs | WI: 85/5 | RR: 9.44
- Kieron Pollard22 (9b)
- Jason Holder2 (4b)
- Shaheen Shah Afridi2-0-20-0
- Hasan Ali2-0-11-2
Catch Danyal for the chase, but it's drizzling at the moment and we'll provide an update as soon as we have one.
Mustafa S: "Hopefully rain doesn't disrupt this, this is shaping to be a great competition!"
Isaac Marshall: "Aside from Pollie, Pakistan completely dominated."
1.38pm That's the end of the West Indies innings, and here comes the drizzle too. The pitch has been immediately covered by the ground staff. Anyway, it was always going to be a shootout with just nine overs to play and West Indies did well to post 85. There were far too many dot balls, credit for which must go to Pakistan, who did well with the slower balls and the ones turning too.
Last ball. 85 anyone?
Ready then. Pollard has four balls to make an impact.
Pollard getting disturbed with his bat, with the handle being damaged in all probability. Out comes a substitute with four bats
Swathi: "Just tuning into this match. It is crazy to see that extras given has been the highest score till now."
Shaheen comes from over the wicket
Final over of the innings, as the ground staff remain ready with the covers
