Blood went to the head of Shai Hope...out for 11.

Amir strikes! Bravo out for a duck.

Gayle half-century from 33 balls....

Gone right after...Amir's third wicket.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Pakistan 62-3.
WI 77-3

Can Pakistan knock over the WI tail?

[mikesiva]

If I was part of the Pakistan management I'd want an explanation as to why andre Russell was allowed to bowl 6 or 7 bouncers in a row

IIRC, most of those bouncers were into the body, and not over the shoulder....

Pooran finishes the match off with some enjoyable boundary hitting!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Two fairly one sided games so far. And Australia v Afghanistan will be tomorrow. NZ should be too strong for SL too in the other game.

Win could come at a cost for Windies, with both Gayle and Russell really seeming to be struggling with injuries

Yet the NRR gained could be crucial if there is a eventual tie for 3rd/4th...

This performance made me now look up the odds for a West Indies win. It's 10-1 now but imagine it was longer before the match.

Big hitting and now some decent fast bowling performances could make them a dark horse.

Both are fairly confident of a recovery... 5 days til the next game for them.

Actually most of them were ducked by the batsmen

From the side on shots that were shown most looked over shoulder height

Strange umpiring

[Arthur Crabtree]

NZ will bowl. Looks an excellent Kiwi side.

[meninblue]

Good opening spell by Kiwi opening attack of Boult and Matt. Very few boundary balls. SL looking to build up a partnership after loss of an early wicket.

[meninblue]

Wonderfully placed through point by Kusal Perera for 4. Well on top of it and nicely controlled. SL 27/1.

[meninblue]

One more boundary. Two successive fours for KP. He is the one who is trying to attack the bowlers.

[meninblue]

Two instances this WC where pace bowler has hit stumps but bails have not been dislodged. Karunaratne lucky to survive against Boult.
