- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.2 round the wicket, slapped to backward point! Davidson has a wicket on T20I debut, and it's the kingpin King! It was a wide line again, King went for the uppercut, but couldn't get the elevation to elude George Munsey, who timed his leap well and parried the ball to grab it at the second attempt! 58/28.2 finds his way through! Leg-sided line from Leask, a quicker delivery skids through a touch flatter, into Hope's pads and onto his stumps! The arm-ball does the trick, pinning Hope in the crease, and that's a timely wicket, just as West Indies were looking to kick on 54/118.6 McMullen takes a screamer at wide long-on! Great athleticism. That is a stunning catch. Another high full toss from Sharif, swung away into the leg side. McMullen had a lot of work to do, running around to his left, but flung himself towards the ball and snaffled it in his fingertips, inches from the turf! Hetmyer hangs around to see if it's a no-ball on height, but replays confirm it was dipping enough to be deemed legal. 175/415.3 picks out Jones at deep backward square leg! Length ball, Powell sits deep and heaves into the leg side, but doesn't quite get underneath it. Jones holds onto a flat chance on the rope 139/319.1 safe hands from Jones in the deep! Another slower ball from Currie, Rutherford looks to launch over the off side but his bat turns in his hands. Plinked out to deep cover, where Jones settled underneath it 175/5Extras7 (b 1, lb 2, w 4)TOTAL182/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-54 (Shai Hope, 8.2 ov), 2-58 (Brandon King, 9.2 ov), 3-139 (Rovman Powell, 15.3 ov), 4-175 (Shimron Hetmyer, 18.6 ov), 5-175 (Sherfane Rutherford, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 shovelled off the hips, stunning grab from Hetmyer! We saw a belter in the deep in the first innings, and this is even better! Munsey got such good contact through the ball, but it was in the air as Hetmyer tracked round from fine leg, flung himself to his right, and clung on in one hand! He's having quite the day of it! 37/31.2 heaved off the length, straight to square leg! All too simple for West Indies there. Jones was targetting the short square boundary, but the ball wasn't full enough for the stroke. More height than distance, and Rutherford takes it without fuss inside the boundary 7/14.3 attempts the scoop, demolishes his own stumps! McMullen tried to get dinky there, a pre-meditated hop across to the off-side to access fine leg, but his contact was too flat, off the under-edge, and he nailed his own leg stump! A disappointing end to a briefly promising innings, as West Indies take early control 31/213.2 slices the slower ball straight to deep point! 78mph/126kph cutter from Holder, very wide outside off, sits up from a length and begs to be hit. Berrington obliges, but his slashed cut is straight down Joseph's throat on the rope! 100 T20I wickets for Holder, the first West Indian to the landmark in men's T20Is 115/414.3 smacked on the pad while sweeping, stone dead! Bruce will review the umpire's decision, but looks reluctant in doing so. Missed the inside edge, and smacked him on the upper thigh of his collapsed back leg. No bat, hit him in-line, and projected to crash into the top of middle. Nitin Menon's decision is upheld, and Bruce swishes his bat in frustration as he heads back 122/516.2 wide yorker, squeezed out, but straight to Rutherford at point! Steps across his stumps and looks to steer it away behind square with an open face, but can only deflect it straight to the man in close. Anticlimactic end for Cross 133/618.5 Shepherd puts the game to bed! Watt dances down and looks to slice this away over the off side, but Shepherd dives back over his head to take a sprawling catch at short third over his shoulder! West Indies are all smiles and start their campaign with a 35-run win 147/1016.3 great work by Powell running around from long-on, but he's hurt himself in the process. Length ball outside off, Leask looked to heave it over midwicket but Powell did brilliantly, covering plenty of ground to his right and clinging onto the ball as he hit the deck hard. But he landed awkwardly on his shoulder, and is clearly in some pain 133/716.4 knocks him over, Shepherd tears off in celebration! Around the wicket, tailing in from a fullish length, beats Davidson's limp prod on the inside edge and crashes into the top of off. A broad grin from Shepherd, and why not? West Indies are two wickets away 133/816.6 four in five balls! Slot ball, Sharif looks to clear mid-off with a big swipe but picks out the towering figure of Jason Holder, who takes a straightforward catch and points at Shepherd with a grin. First T20 five-for for Shepherd 133/9Extras8 (lb 1, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL147 all out (18.5 Overs, RR: 7.8)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Michael Jones, 1.2 ov), 2-31 (Brandon McMullen, 4.3 ov), 3-37 (George Munsey, 5.4 ov), 4-115 (Richie Berrington, 13.2 ov), 5-122 (Tom Bruce, 14.3 ov), 6-133 (Matthew Cross, 16.2 ov), 7-133 (Michael Leask, 16.3 ov), 8-133 (Oliver Davidson, 16.4 ov), 9-133 (Safyaan Sharif, 16.6 ov), 10-147 (Mark Watt, 18.5 ov)
