00:00The
00:26pitch seems to suit it. Good call to bowl first. It certainly looks like there'll be
00:29something early on for the bowlers. The openers will really need to keep things tight for
00:34the early overs.
00:45Naby has the privilege of bowling with the new ball. The umpires have signalled that
00:49they're ready. Let's get this game underway.
00:54Timed it nicely. They'll look for a couple you'd think.
01:02A couple on offer here. Off the mark nicely. Good movement and communication straight away
01:07and they get a couple.
01:20Kellex that one. Simple as you like inside the ring.
01:24Just through the shot too early.
01:35Misses everything.
01:37Naby with a superb delivery. Got them trying to drive but messing everything up.
01:56Popped that away nicely.
02:09Good return back from the deep. Really, really good running from these two batters. Played
02:14it safe though. Stick with three.
02:17The team will be after a positive innings from this batter. A great opportunity to come
02:21in and put some runs on the board.
02:37Well that's perhaps a little harsh. I felt it wasn't that wide.
03:07Super piece of timing.
03:16Fine placement and enough timing to get that ball away to the boundary.
03:21End of the over, ten off it. West Indies are none for ten.
03:33The right armour is coming on to bowl from the great southern stand end.
03:45Drives and misses everything.
03:47You can't skip down the pitch and then do a complete air shot. How that isn't a stumping,
03:51I'll never know.
03:52I don't think there was any bat on that as they come through for the single.
04:21That's wild. Nothing elegant about that shot. Just not timing it at all. It's poor play.
04:31It's the sort of dismissal that sees the momentum swing back to the bowler. Gone, but not for
04:46many.
04:47A new batter always likes to feel bat on ball early on as they bring a bit of energy to
04:52the crease.
04:53Thick edge.
05:04The edge was very close to going to hands. They're fortunate to pick up their first runs.
05:21Catch it. Perfectly timed.
05:29Exquisitely done on the front foot. A gorgeous looking drive. Could have been worth more.
05:34Five runs added in the over. West Indies are one for fifteen.
05:41The left arm pace bowler is coming into the attack from the members end.
05:51Great shot. At least one on offer.
05:57There'll be one run here for them.
06:00More decisive running may have gotten them two.
06:03You look at that and I would say they would have made it easily.
06:06They need to be a little bit more switched on than that.
06:15Ease through the field. There'll be runs here.
06:21Got forward and was able to drive the ball.
06:24Lovely shot and good running.
06:30Played that beautifully. Saw the short one and got out of the way.
06:41No more of those this over.
06:55Huge appeal.
07:00Edge.
07:19Edged.
07:24Puckett.
07:30The big wicket is gone. Never really looked comfortable and now they have to start the long walk back.
07:37Lots of pressure coming into bat. We'll have to wait though to face their first ball.
07:50Yeah, yeah.
07:52There'll be runs here.
07:54That was a solid shot. Driven off the front foot. Fantastic cricket shot.
07:59Probably deserved more from it.
08:07Quick on to that in the infield.
08:11Didn't hit that well. Very late playing that shot.
08:14End of a really good over. Taking a wicket and really slowing down the scoring rate.
08:20Well, they really struggled to form any decent partnerships in this innings.
08:24No one really got going. Nobody passing 50.
08:27They'll be very disappointed with this total.
08:40That was a really good over.
08:42That's all.
09:12The openers will be keen to knock off these runs quickly.
09:16Not a huge total to chase down.
09:18The bowlers will need to make early inroads if they're to make it interesting.
09:23Yeah!
09:27They're both in.
09:31Great.
09:33That's a big on.
09:35The openers will be keen to knock off these runs quickly.
09:39Not a huge total to chase down.
09:42The bowlers will need to make early inroads if they're to make it interesting.
09:53Go bars, get off the mark.
10:10Good piece of fielding to stop some runs.
10:24No runs on that occasion, got into position nicely just too early on the shot.
10:29Couldn't find a gap.
10:43Hit that well off the back foot but couldn't beat the field.
10:53Yeah, nice timing, good batting, won't get to the boundary.
11:04Decisive running might have got them to.
11:06Looking back at it, I'd say they'd have made it easily.
11:09So in the end, poor running.
11:11Zadran is new to the crease.
11:13They'll be keen to feel bat on ball early on.
11:24Straight to the fielder.
11:26Three added in that over.
11:28Afghanistan are none for three.
11:34Joseph, the right armour, is coming into the attack from the members' end.
11:48They'll get at least one.
11:51They'll get at least one.
11:53They'll get at least one.
11:55They'll get at least one.
12:21Huge shout.
12:22The bowler seems very confident with that one.
12:34An innings that promised much and really, in the end, delivered very little.
12:38Pretty disappointing all round.
12:41New batter comes to the crease.
12:43Never an easy time to come in after the fall of a wicket.
12:53Yep.
12:54They'll push hard, should get back for two.
12:58Keeper, keeper.
13:02Good running, just finding the gap, and that allows for rotation of the strike
13:06and keeps the pressure on the bowlers.
13:17Waiting.
13:19Short and wide, did well to get some bat on that.
13:36Yep.
13:37Well timed, but there's a fielder out there.
13:40Keeper.
13:44And with that, they're off the mark.
13:49Yep.
14:02Yep.
14:03They'd look for a couple here.
14:06Keeper's in.
14:11A tidy over, and the first wicket to show for it.
14:14Nothing less than deserved.
14:18Yep.
14:23A change in the bowling for the final over.
14:26McCoy coming on from the great southern stand end.
14:37Yep.
14:38Nice shot, runs possible.
14:45Oh, good running.
14:46It needed to be as well.
14:47Probably a lot closer than they expected.
14:59Yep.
15:00Well placed, should get a single.
15:17Yep.
15:31Yep, yep.
15:32Yep.
15:45Well that could have ended horribly,
15:47but very good fast running between the stumps gets them home.
15:53Yep.
15:56That's great fielding. That ball was flying.
15:59Whipped away nicely through the leg side.
16:01Elegant as ever, and picking up good runs.
16:07Yep.
16:08Good batting, get an opportunity to score, and take it.
16:14Out.
16:15What a catch.
16:18Well, this is a fantastic wicket.
16:20Kept the runs down, really didn't get settled,
16:23and looked to be in trouble for most of the knock.
16:25Yep.
16:32The end of a tidy over.
16:34Batting doesn't seem to be easy out there at the moment.
16:37Good pressure building.
16:48This was a lot closer.
