- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 What a cracking ball first up from Sharif! This is full and bending away outside off. Gayle has a loose waft at it and sends a thin edge to the keeper. Sharif sends Gayle back for a first-ball duck. Dream start for him and Scotland 0/130.3 full on off stump, and Lewis tries a big leg-side heave. Doesn't come off again, and hits his back leg. Impact on middle and off, and the umpire has no hesitations. Lewis has to go, and the partnership is finally broken 123/32.1 Sharif sends Hope back for a duck too. Nice and full, perfectly pitched delivery, angling in, then cunningly straightening away outside off. Hope is opened up. He simply hangs his bat out and nicks it behind to Cross. WI: 2 for 2 2/233.4 taken at wide long off! Full outside off, and Samuels looks to accelerate. Tries to drive this over cover, but he's sliced this shot. Sole races across to his left and slides along the ground to complete a sharp catch 135/433.5 out next ball! It's the drifter outside off, and the ball zips straight through. He tries to defend off the front foot - rather tentatively, may I add - and the ball takes the faint outside edge. On a hat-trick! 135/539.3 Holder has been bounced out, and West Indies are six down. Dug in short on off, skids off the pitch, and rushes Holder into a hook. He is late onto it and sends a top edge fluttering to short midwicket moving to his left 158/643.5 Sharif sends the leg stump cartwheeling. What a sight for a fast bowler. In-between length from Sharif, angling into Powell, this length is nether driveable nor pullable. The batsman jabs at it and inside-edges it onto the leg stump, which has been knocked out 176/748.2 Excellent overhead catch from Munsey at backward point. Credit to Wheal too. He sends down a slower offcutter wide outside off, Brathwaite shuffles across and aims to clip it over midwicket. Instead, he plays early and chips a leading edge to backward point 198/945.4 Berrington ventures wide of the crease again, this time he sends down a slower short ball outside off. Nurse throws his bat at the ball and only carves outside edge straight into the lap of short third man 184/848.4 The middle stump is floored. Wheal wraps up West Indies' innings with a very full ball - a near yorker - the batsman plays all around it and loses his middle stump 198/10Extras16 (lb 3, w 13)TOTAL198 all out (48.4 Overs, RR: 4.06)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Chris Gayle, 0.1 ov), 2-2 (Shai Hope, 2.1 ov), 3-123 (Evin Lewis, 30.3 ov), 4-135 (Marlon Samuels, 33.4 ov), 5-135 (Shimron Hetmyer, 33.5 ov), 6-158 (Jason Holder, 39.3 ov), 7-176 (Rovman Powell, 43.5 ov), 8-184 (Ashley Nurse, 45.4 ov), 9-198 (Carlos Brathwaite, 48.2 ov), 10-198 (Keemo Paul, 48.4 ov)

Player of the Match
- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 Holder uproots the off stump and lets out a big roar. West Indies are fired up. Holder goes wide of the crease, angles it into Cross and finds extra bounce to boot. Cross is cramped up, he hops, and gloves it onto the stumps 12/22.2 short and attached with plenty of width outside off. Coetzer slashes with all his might but can't keep it down. He holes out to Lewis at backward point. He jumps and pouches the ball safely 6/16.1 Roach has bounced out Jones. This is a chest-hunting short ball on middle stump, Jones shuffles across and pulls it in the air. He finds Rovman Powell at long leg 25/321.6 one handed stunner! Full on middle stump, and defended back to the bowler. Off the bat's toe end, so it's in the air. Nurse dives to his left and takes a wonderful catch 67/431.4 given lbw! Huge wicket. Good length on middle stump, would've gone down the leg side though! Impact was outside leg stump, but oh dear, Berrington's gone. If only this game had DRS. Tried to punch off the back foot towards mid on, but the ball stayed slightly low 105/5Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL125/5 (35.2 Overs, RR: 3.53)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Kyle Coetzer, 2.2 ov), 2-12 (Matthew Cross, 3.4 ov), 3-25 (Michael Jones, 6.1 ov), 4-67 (Calum MacLeod, 21.6 ov), 5-105 (Richie Berrington, 31.4 ov)
