2.26pm Right, an exciting chase coming up, and Saurabh will pick up the reins of that in a short while. While you wait for the chase to begin, here's an interesting long read on an inspirational rugby story that will soon come alive on the silver screen. When you get done with that, take this quiz I put together on the fathers of cricket. Make sure you share your scores on Twitter and over here. Ciao!

Shai Hope tells Simon Doull: "It was a bit slow, but enjoyed batting there. We've got some good power in the bowling, and we've got to capitalise on the new ball and pick some wickets. Shimron and Jason batted well to give us some impetus, especially at that stage."

2.20pm This match is quite interestingly poised at the half-way stage. You'd have to say West Indies have done the hard yards by posting 321 on the board. But this looks like a decent batting wicket, the ground is a small one, and West Indies could be a bowler short today, since they omitted Carlos Brathwaite to accommodate Darren Bravo. The innings ebbed and flowed, but it was really the innings of Shai Hope which gave them the glue to work around

Mohammad Saifuddin to Bravo, OUT, full, and rattles the timber! Probably needed to do this more often. Full, straight and beats the attempted slog down the ground from Darren Bravo. Third wicket, deservedly so, for Saifuddin, who's bowled decent lengths and variations through this innings

Mohammad Saifuddin to Bravo, no run, full, wide and might have to rebowl this again. No? Gets away with it a bit, perhaps because Bravo was backing away a bit to the leg side

Mohammad Saifuddin to Bravo, no run, takes a hand off as he squirts this towards deep point. Refuses the single on offer

Mohammad Saifuddin to Bravo, SIX, slower ball, and he has got a good hold of this Aims to go over deep midwicket, and just clears the fieldsman there. Good effort, but he cleared him for a 72m six

Fiaz Laghari : "Strongly agree with @Dan as one of our teachers used to say that there are 03 types of lies : Lies, bigger lies, statistics :) "

Mohammad Saifuddin to Thomas, 1 wide, looks for a full ball, wide of off stump, but goes too wide of the tramlines

Predicted score according to Forecaster is 319. Perhaps more significantly, win probability for West Indies right now stands at 65 percent

Mustafizur Rahman to Thomas, 1 run, slogs this across the line towards long on, who does well this time to keep it down to one

"Quick reminder to those questioning people's captaincy or questioning strike rates, these people are professional international cricketers. THEY KNOW MORE ABOUT CRICKET THAN YOU DO," thunders Joe

Mustafizur Rahman to Thomas, no run, full, and he looks to go down the ground and misses. Didn't miss the stumps by much. The bails have come off, and the umpires have referred this to TV. Soft signal is not out. Thomas completed his swing of the bat and then hit the top of stumps after the ball had gone through, so this should stay not out

"With his first ODI run, Oshane is now the highest scoring Jamaican in this match," quips Jarrod, remembering the twin ducks from Messrs Gayle and Russell
