Seales à N Smith268/9
Catch OUT. OUT! Caught. Jayden Seales to Nathan Smith. Reverse Swing-In length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, caught by Greaves. New Zealand have posted a competitive 268 after a disciplined batting effort, but they'll feel they left 20-30 runs out there. Will Young, Nick Kelly and Tom Latham all produced quality half-centuries, laying the platform, yet none converted into a match-defining hundred. West Indies deserve plenty of credit for pulling things back brilliantly through the middle and death overs. Alzarri Joseph's hostile spell and Vitel Lawes' timely breakthroughs prevented a late surge, while the fielding and two crucial run-outs added real pressure. On this surface, 269 is challenging but certainly chaseable, making the opening 10 overs absolutely decisive. Join us for the run chase.
