| 2.1 : 2.1: John Turner to Evin Lewis, SIX! Finally, a shot of authority from Evin Lewis! Hard length around the pads, Lewis just whips it off the pads and doesn't even look at it as the ball sails over fine leg for the first biggie of the chase. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: John Turner to Shai Hope, FOUR! Wow, the sound that made off the bat was brutal. Not all that short but offering width, Shai Hope stays upright and smashes it flat and square through the off side to get off the mark with a boundary. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: John Turner to Shai Hope, FOUR MORE! John Turner will consider himself a bit unlucky here. Pitched up on off, angling in, Shai Hope looks for the big heave but gets an inside edge that flies past the inside edge and into the fine leg fence. |

| 5.4 : 5.4: Dan Mousley to Evin Lewis, SIX! Powerful! Drags his length, does Dan Mousley, on the middle and leg, Evin Lewis is quick to use the depth of the crease and pulls it over cow corner for a huge six. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: Rehan Ahmed to Shai Hope, SIX! Shai Hope is in the mood! A googly, slightly short, turning back into the batter. Shai Hope is quick to transfer the weight on the back foot, reads the googly and tonks it over long on for a six. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: Rehan Ahmed to Shai Hope, FOUR! FIFTY for Shai Hope! And it has come in just 20 deliveries. Rehan drops a predictable short one, which stays low a tad bit, Shai Hope rocks back and pulls it along the ground through the mid-wicket region for a cracking boundary. |

| 7.6 : 7.6: Liam Livingstone to Evin Lewis, SIX! Go fetch that, says Evin Lewis! The most expensive over in this chase so far. Dropped fuller and flatter on the stumps, on middle and off, Evin Lewis stays in his crease and heaves it across. Gets it just over the ropes behind deep mid-wicket for a six. This has been an acceleration of the highest order from these two openers. |
| 8.2 : 8.2: Sam Curran to Evin Lewis, Four! |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Sam Curran to Evin Lewis, FOUR! Punished! These two are just toying around with the field at the moment! |

| 9.3 : 9.3: Rehan Ahmed to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! b Rehan Ahmed. |
| 10.1 : 10.1: John Turner to Rovman Powell, FOUR! Crunched! John Turner comes back in and serves a half-volley outside off, Rovman Powell leans ahead and hammers the drive wide of sweeper cover for a boundary. |
| 11.1: Rehan Ahmed to Rovman Powell, SIX! Rovman Powell doesn't want to back down, rather he wants to counter. Googly, bowled full and outside off, Powell reaches out and clubs it away over long on for a biggie. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Rehan Ahmed to Rovman Powell, FOUR! Rovman Powell showing the full range here. Flat and a bit full around off, Powell is early to get across and just laps it fine of short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: Saqib Mahmood to Rovman Powell, SIX! It's not just the extras but what these extra deliveries cost that hurts most sides. Pitched up in the slot on off, Rovman Powell gets under it and lifts it magnificently over long off for a biggie. Powell held the pose for that one as well. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: Rehan Ahmed to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! TAKEN! That is an unbelievable catch from Liam Livingstone but he seems to have hurt himself in the process as well. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: Rehan Ahmed to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX! Almost another catching opportunity but Rutherford just gets enough on it. Rehan Ahmed dangles the carrot again with a floater on middle, Rutherford gets down and looks to slog but ends up getting a top edge down to long on and the ball sails over the fence for a six. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: Rehan Ahmed to Rovman Powell, SIX! Rovman Powell keeps pulling West Indies ahead in the game. Tossed up, right in the slot and around middle, Powell picks the bones out of that one as he launches it high and mighty over wide long on for a biggie. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: John Turner to Rovman Powell, OUT! LBW! A huge, huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger this time. Rovman Powell checks his shot and eventually goes for a review to challenge the on-field decision. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: Dan Mousley to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX! That makes things a lot easier for the hosts now! |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Dan Mousley to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX! RUTHERFORD FINISHES OFF WITH SOME MUSCLE POWER AND WEST INDIES HAVE DONE THE MOST UNTHINKABLE! A juicy full toss from Dan Mousley, on the body, Sherfane Rutherford stays inside the crease, waits for the ball to arrive and smokes it out of the park behind deep mid-wicket for a monstrous six. |
