Mayank Yadav to Shai Hope, FOUR, 145.4kph, but Shai Hope doesn't care! It's short of a good length and Shai Hope makes room and flat-bats it down the ground for back-to-back fours

1.1

Mayank Yadav to Shai Hope, FOUR, 147kph, but it's slanting into Hope's pads and he is happy to whip it over mid-wicket for a boundary. Not the ideal start for Mayank Yadav

Arshdeep Singh to Kamil Pooran, out Bowled!! Arshdeep Singh strikes as he inevitably does in the powerplay. Kamil Pooran puts his head down in disappointment. Very full and on the red line outside off, the line which is is the revised marker for the new wide rule.

Shai Hope has a word with Hetmyer. Meanwhile Arshdeep Singh has gotten Hetmyer three times in T20s.

4.4

Arshdeep Singh to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR, Arshdeep Singh shows his disapppointment as he knows it's a bad delivery. Full on the pads, almost a free-hit for Shimron Hetmyer, he flicks it to the deep backward square-leg fence. Wide of the man

Axar Patel to Shai Hope, out Shimron Hetmyer Run Out!! Shimron Hetmyer is not happy that he has been given out. He has a word with the umps who tell him to walk off. He is still not happy. They say never run on a misfield and West Indies have paid the price for it. The ball deflects off Axar Patel's left hand as he dives and pushes it to cover, Shreyas charges in and throws it to Sanju Samson, it's wide and Samson takes a bit of time to get it on the stumps, Hetmyer dives but the bat and the handle are in the air when the stumps light up. Clearly the third ump took his time and made the right call. You could even see the shadow and the right call was made. There was nothing behind the line. Hetmyer immediately went to the ump to enquire as to how it was out. He felt he had got some part of the bat or the handle over the line, but in reality there was nothing behind the line.

Shimron Hetmyer run out (Tilak Varma/Sanju Samson) 5(2) [4s-1]

ORS gawn
