- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 another appeal for lbw, umpire Brathwaite raises his finger once again. King chats with Charles and calls for a review of the on-field out decision. Nicely tossed up and breaking in to beat the inside edge and strike the front pad below the knee-roll. No bat there for King. UltraEdge confirms it. The googly would have hit the top of middle. King has to depart 30/24.1 Chahal pins Mayers lbw first ball. It looks fairly adjacent. Mayers has a chat with King and walks back. Pushed through flat and quick, slider from Chahal, the length is probably too full for the sweep and the line is on the stumps. Mayers still dares to sweep and does not make any contact with the bat. Welcome back, Chahal. Replays indicate that the ball was missing off stump 29/17.3 Tilak, the debutant, takes a smart catch in the deep. Kuldeep, too, strikes in his first over. Tilak runs across to his left from deep midwicket, slides across to his left and pouches it. Looped up and turns into middle, stock ball from Kuldeep. Charles slices the sweep high and holes out 58/314.1 Hardik returns and has Pooran holing out. Short ball into the pitch on off stump, Pooran attempts the slog-pull and ends up splicing it to Tilak, the debutant, at deep square leg. The slow pitch messes with Pooran's timing. Pooran slams his bat into the turf in disgust as he walks back 96/418.5 Hauled away to SKY at long-on. No fifty for Powell. Dug in short and outside off, angling away from Powell. The pitch is quite slow. Powell can't manufacture enough pace of his own and elevation. He drags it to SKY at the long-on boundary. No mistake from the fielder this time 138/618.1 Hetmyer is caught by Axar at sweeper cover. On a back of a length and outside off, Arshdeep keeps bowling into the pitch. Hetmyer can't quite get on top of it. Splices it to the outfielder and holes out 134/5Extras8 (lb 1, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL149/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.45)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Kyle Mayers, 4.1 ov), 2-30 (Brandon King, 4.3 ov), 3-58 (Johnson Charles, 7.3 ov), 4-96 (Nicholas Pooran, 14.1 ov), 5-134 (Shimron Hetmyer, 18.1 ov), 6-138 (Rovman Powell, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.5 taken at mid-on! Skips down, and ends up miscuing this attempted loft to the fielder. He lost his bottom hand too, as this full ball angled into him. A mistimed shot in the end 28/22.2 stumped by Pooran! This ball was tossed up, and bowled on a length on middle and off. It dipped and turned away, as Gill skipped down the pitch and missed his attempted loft. Charles had a lot of time, as Hosein gives West Indies an early wicket 5/19.2 brilliant catch by Hetmyer at short extra cover! He dives to his left to grab that, stretching full flow to get it into his hands. Surya tried to slice this near yorker-length ball in the channel outside off, as the bat face opened while he pushed at it. But eventually, it was aerially played, and Hetmyer was quick enough to react and reach 67/310.6 taken at fine leg! Tilak looks to repeat those successful pull shots which fetched them all those sixes, but is foxed by the offcutter. This ball was slightly short, and was angling across considerably even as it was a slower ball. The ball ended wide enough of off for Tilak to have to fetch it, and he ended up mistiming his shot. The ball ballooned off the higher side of the bat to Hetmyer 77/415.1 gets Pandya on his comeback! Holder does a bit of dance in celebration. The slower ball working on this pitch yet again. Holder bowls on the slightly shorter side of a length on middle and off, angling it into the batter. Pandya looked to clip across the line, but the ball hit his front pad and went back to strike the off stump to give West Indies a window 113/515.3 direct hit at the striker's end! West Indies seem excited, even as the square-leg umpire goes upstairs. And, and... Samson is clearly short of his crease. Mayers the fielder who had about one and a half stumps to aim at. This is what happened: Holder bowled a slower ball on a short of a length just outside off, and Axar punched it to cover. Mayers swooped at the ball to his right, and went bang! 113/618.1 Axar falls looking for the big one! This could be it. McCoy bowls a slower ball on a length around off, as he goes wide of the crease. The ball was angled in, as Axar made room to try and whack that. The shot and the bat swing didn't really indicate whether he wanted to go across the line or down the ground, but he ended up skying it to deep midwicket 129/719.1 cleans him up with a yorker! Kuldeep trying to be adventurous, and is hit bang on the base of the middle stump. Shepherd's angle meant the ball was coming into the left-hander, as Kuldeep skipped down the pitch, But the yorker was nailed, as it pitched on middle and Kuldeep missed his slash. The length was too full - and the ball too good - for that shot 140/819.5 gets across, and he flicks a yorker length ball angling into off, to deep midwicket. It becomes a low full, as he swings across the line. And for what it's worth, Arshdeep attempts a second. But he gives it up less than one-fifth on his way back, and is run out, as the throw from Powell is clean, and close to the stumps at the striker's end 144/9Extras15 (lb 9, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL145/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.25)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Shubman Gill, 2.2 ov), 2-28 (Ishan Kishan, 4.5 ov), 3-67 (Suryakumar Yadav, 9.2 ov), 4-77 (Tilak Varma, 10.6 ov), 5-113 (Hardik Pandya, 15.1 ov), 6-113 (Sanju Samson, 15.3 ov), 7-129 (Axar Patel, 18.1 ov), 8-140 (Kuldeep Yadav, 19.1 ov), 9-144 (Arshdeep Singh, 19.5 ov)
