- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.3 Waseem steps out, swings, and misses! The returning Reifer snaps the stand. Reifer drags his length back even further and gets it to sharply angle in from left-arm around. Waseem does not connect. But Reifer connects with the top of off stump 87/22.2 Paul draws a top edge once again. Charles redeems himself immediately. He runs in, dives forward, and pouches a more difficult chance. Well done, Charles. Well done, Paul. Banged in short at the body, Lovepreet has a weak flap at it and falls 18/130.3 Sinclair strikes and brings out his signature somersault celebration. Tossed up and breaks in at the stumps, dips creates distance between the bat and pitch of the ball. Beats the inside edge and pings the front pad in line with middle. That's pretty adjacent and Aravind's dismissal adds to UAE's collapse 166/622.2 Oh, my word what a catch and an even better celebration! Flat on middle and leg, Rameez bunts it back towards where his partner his standing. That was whipped hard, but Sinclair was quick on his feet and went low to his right to grab the catch inches off the turf. And, he then follows it up with a perfect somersault 142/323.2 Oh, dear me! Total miscommunication and D'Souza is run out for 6. Angles the length ball on off. He gets forward and pats it to point and sets off. Aravind takes a couple of steps down, before stopping midway. D'Souza was so committed to the run that even though the throw came at the wrong end, he was out by miles. 150/429.5 Another mix-up between the wickets, Mustafa has to go. Both Mustafa and Aravind at at the same end. There was no run there. Shorter and breaks away outside off, this attempted googly is stabbed away to extra-cover, where Chase fumbles a bit but he regathers the ball and capitalises on the miscommunication between the wickets. Mustafa is livid as he walks back. But then again there was no single there 164/536.1 Four for Sinclair and UAE have been bowled out for 184! Flatter outside off, he looks for a hard cut, but can only manage a thin edge with Charles doing the rest. UAE have lost 8 for 42! 184/1032.2 Sinclair bursts through the defences of Aayan. On a length and zips back in at off stump. Aayan is done in by turn as well as skid. Sinclair hits off stump and leaves UAE seven down 181/733.5 on a length and rips away past the outside edge near the shoulder of the bat. Another stumping chance? They've gone to the TV umpire. Touch and go once again. Charles doesn't whip the bails off in a flash, but he's still quick enough to catch Karthik short. Sammy has enjoyed that. Karthik is perplexed. He goes for a seven-ball duck and that's drinks in Sharjah 182/835.4 Cleaned up by Cariah and UAE are nine down! Tossed up on off and middle. Junaid sees it up and his eyes light up. Looks for a massive hoick, but the ball dips on him as he does not reach the pitch of the ball. He misses and sees his stumps in a mess 184/9Extras16 (b 4, lb 4, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL184 all out (36.1 Overs, RR: 5.08)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Lovepreet Singh, 2.2 ov), 2-87 (Muhammad Waseem, 11.3 ov), 3-142 (Rameez Shahzad, 22.2 ov), 4-150 (Ethan D'Souza, 23.2 ov), 5-164 (Rohan Mustafa, 29.5 ov), 6-166 (Vriitya Aravind, 30.3 ov), 7-181 (Aayan Afzal Khan, 32.2 ov), 8-182 (Karthik Meiyappan, 33.5 ov), 9-184 (Junaid Siddique, 35.4 ov), 10-184 (Ali Naseer, 36.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 nip-backer from Jawadullah. He has pinned Charles lbw. The batter is late onto it and is smacked on the back leg in line with middle. Charles loses his balance and falls over. Jawad and Aravind celebrate. First ODI scalp for Jawad 35/114.4 Aayan traps Alick Athanaze. Nevertheless, this was a splendid innings. Too full and straight, Athanaze misses the reverse-sweep and is struck in front of middle. This looks adjacent. The incoming Carty gives Athanaze a pat 101/222.4 Flicked straight down deep midwicket's throat! Oh, that's such an innocuous way to get out. Full-length ball on middle stump. He gets forward looking for an aerial shot. But did not get much power into it, nor did he find the placement. The result, falls for 39. West Indies still 53 away. 132/325.2 Carty gets greedy and loses his wicket! Oh, he was looking for another six, but this time Meiyappan knew what he was doing. Floats the legbreak on off and middle. Carty looks to free his arms but does not reach the pitch of the ball. Ends up mistiming his shot straight to long-on who takes a comfortable catch. 145/425.3 Has he gone first ball? The keeper is convinced. He is off running, celebrating. And, rightly so. Hodge's foot is outside the crease. Was the wrong'un again. Hodge is baited into the drive, misses and the keeper does the rest. The game has suddenly come alive. 145/533.6 Short of a length ball is hit straight to deep backward square leg! As easy as they come. Gets the short ball into the body of Reifer, who is done in for pace. Was trying to hit the pull much wider, can only drag it to Ethan D'Souza who ain't dropping those. Jawadullah is ecstatic, and rightly so. 181/6Extras14 (lb 2, w 12)TOTAL185/6 (35.1 Overs, RR: 5.26)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Johnson Charles, 3.3 ov), 2-101 (Alick Athanaze, 14.4 ov), 3-132 (Shamarh Brooks, 22.4 ov), 4-145 (Keacy Carty, 25.2 ov), 5-145 (Kavem Hodge, 25.3 ov), 6-181 (Raymon Reifer, 33.6 ov)
