PITCH REPORT - Simon Doull and Samuel Badree are near the deck. They reckon that some pockets are bigger with 65 metres and 67 metres square boundaries and a 74-metre hit straight down the ground.

0.0 : Drinks break! A good little partnership is developing for West Indies on what has been a tricky surface so far with variable bounce. These two batters will be looking to knock it around before shifting gears in the back end of the innings and the Windies still have Andre Russell left in the shed.

10.6 : Mitchell Santner to Akeal Hosein, OUT! TAKEN! The bravery from Kane Williamson to bring a left-arm spinner against two left-handers gets rewarded.

0.0 : TAKE A BOW, SHERFANE RUTHERFORD! A remarkable rescue act from the southpaw has allowed the West Indies to recover from 76-7 to end up with 149. However, the start was far from ideal for the co-hosts, as they were rocked early with the departure of Johnson Charles. Nicholas Pooran threw his bat around but not for long and from there, West Indies kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Sherfane Rutherford and Akeal Hosein got together to steady the sinking ship and did a decent job. After Akeal
As for New Zealand, all the hard work got undone there towards the end, conceding 37 runs in the last couple of overs and that has resulted in a dramatic shift in momentum. As he has done so often, Trent Boult set things in motion with a wicket in his first over. New Zealand were able to build on that scalp as Tim Southee, who was brought into the side for this game, struck twice in his opening spell. Thereon, the Kiwis were able to exert pressure even after the Powerplay through Lockie Ferguson
Sherfane Rutherford, the man of the moment, is up for a chat. He says that he is happy to get the opportunity and is pleased to contribute. Adds that playing the World Cup is a dream and he want to contribute to the side. Shares that it was important to build small partnership and ends by mentioning that 149 is a great score on this wicket.
Right then, the West Indies will be the happier of the two sides at the halfway mark and they have the momentum with them courtesy of the strong finish with the bat. On a surface that has been far from two with variable bounce on offer, Rovman Powell will be confident enough that his bowlers can defend the total.
