Kyle Mayers tries to play the lofted punch shot but toe ends his shot and Harry Tector at mid off makes no mistake. Ireland will be happy with this start. |

| 3.3 : 3.3: Curtis Campher to Johnson Charles, FOUR! A welcome boundary! You do not give that much free space to Charles! This is way outside off, fuller and it is smashed over mid off for four. |

| 4.2 : 4.2: Simi Singh to Johnson Charles, OUT! TAKEN! Charles goes now and West Indies are again on the back foot. Simi Singh goes around the wicket and slows it up. This is short and outside off. Charles cuts on the up and straight in the hands of Curtis Campher at point. Just when West Indies build some momentum they lose a wicket. A handy knock from Johnson Charles comes to an end. |

Mark Adair runs in from deep and puts in a dive to complete the catch. Ireland strike just when West Indies were doing the repair work. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: Barry McCarthy to Brandon King, FOUR! Down the ground! King seems to be batting on a different wicket to the others! Beautiful shot. Fuller and on off, he just lofts it down the ground, non-chalantly and past long off for another boundary. 10 from the first three balls. |

| 14.1 : 14.1: Gareth Delany to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Gareth Delany gets another one and this is the big wicket of the Windies skipper who falls for a low score again. This is tossed up, well wide outside off, it was there to be hit and Pooran does strike it well. He though ends up hitting it straight to sweeper cover where it is taken by Harry Tector. It may have been the googly and hence, Pooran ended up hitting it a lot squarer than he would have liked. Timely wicket as the tw |

Shorter and outside off, Smith stands tall and smashes it over the point fence for a biggie. It is the longer part of the ground but Smith does not care. Windies needed that and they need a few more. The last ball spoils what was a brilliant over till then. |

| 3.2 : 3.2: Odean Smith to Andy Balbirnie, SIX! Over the fence! The openers are taking the game away. Just the 106 more needed! On the shorter side. Andy Balbirnie looks to pull, this goes off the top edge but well over the fine leg fence. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Odean Smith to Andy Balbirnie, FOUR! EDGY! Not sure if giving Smith was the good move over Holder! Outside off, Andy Balbirnie slashes at it, it goes off the outside edge wide of the short third man fielder and into the fence. |
