17.1 overs (0 Run) OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Mukesh Kumar strikes with his first ball and this is a big blow for the West Indies! Starts on a length and serves it outside off, Shimron Hetmyer frees his arms and tries to target the straight boundary. Does not get it from the middle of the bat and ends up slicing it towards long off. Tilak Varma settles under the skier and completes the catch without much fuss. West Indies needed Hetmyer to remain till the end but he has to make his way back now.

16.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Unlucky bounce! Short ball just down leg, Shimron Hetmyer looks to pull and does so just in front of the man at short fine leg. The ball just shoots up the ground and eludes the fielder running away into the fence.
16.3 overs (1 Run) Very full, on off stump, Rovman Powell jams this one out in front of mid on and picks up a quick single.
16.2 overs (1 Run) Looks for the yorker but serves a full toss instead. This one angles in from around middle and Shimron Hetmyer can only hit it down to long on for one.
16.1 overs (1 Run) Length ball, angled well across the off stump, Rovman Powell stays back and taps it away to deep cover for a single.
Arshdeep Singh (1-0-6-0) returns to the attack.
15.6 overs (0 Run) Oh, Shimron Hetmyer is probably saved by the faintest of edges here. Nicely tossed up around middle and leg by Yuzvendra Chahal. Hetmyer leans on and looks to work it leg side but gets beaten on the inside edge and rapped on the pads. There is a loud appeal but it is turned down and Chahal seems convinced. Hardik Pandya does review but UltraEdge shows a spike as the ball passes the bat and the onfield decision stays.

15.1 overs (2 Runs) Floated full on the pads, Rovman Powell tickles it to the right of fine leg and races back for the second run. Good running!
