John Turner 30/0(2)

FOUR! 25 off the over and West Indies are in the ascendancy now! Hard length but wide outside off, Shai Hope goes after it and hammers it past covers for another boundary.

SIX! That is a shot and a half from Shai Hope and the debutant is now taking a real pounding. On the shorter side and over off, Hope picks up the length early and plays a short-arm jab, muscling it over wide long on for a biggie. The best shot of the innings so far.

FOUR MORE! John Turner will consider himself a bit unlucky here. Pitched up on off, angling in, Shai Hope looks for the big heave but gets an inside edge that flies past the inside edge and into the fine leg fence.

FOUR! Wow, the sound that made off the bat was brutal. Not all that short but offering width, Shai Hope stays upright and smashes it flat and square through the off side to get off the mark with a boundary.

Just back of a length and around the body, Lewis gets cramped for room and tucks it away through mid-wicket for one.

SIX! Finally, a shot of authority from Evin Lewis! Hard length around the pads, Lewis just whips it off the pads and doesn't even look at it as the ball sails over fine leg for the first biggie of the chase.

Would you believe it? A maiden in a chase of 219 runs! Nice and full on off, swinging away, Shai Hope caresses it with the swing towards cover.
1.5
.
Shai Hope looks to break the shackles by stepping out but fails to make a connection. Back of a length over middle and swinging away, Hope steps out and just blindly swings across the line only to connect with thin air.
1.4
.
This is fine bowling from Mahmood here. Hits the hard length now and bowls it around off, Hope pats it away in front of point.
1.3
.
Good length and on a tight line around off, this one nips away as well, Shai Hope is pegged back a bit and ends up jabbing it away from the body towards cover-point.
1.2
.
Movement again and a bit loose again from Hope! Hard length outside off, shaping away with not much bounce, Hope reaches out to cut but is beaten again.
1.1
.
Nice start from Mahmood! That in-between length in the channel and this one swings away, Shai Hope gets caught on the crease and plays a loose push at it and gets beaten past the outside edge.
Pace from the other end? Indeed, Saqib Mahmood to share the attack.

FOUR! Streaky but Evin Lewis does get off the mark! John Turner goes full this time around off, Lewis throws his hands at it and gets a thick outside edge over Jamie Overton at first slip for a boundary. West Indies 5/0 after the first over of the chase.

Excellent stuff after that first ball from Turner. Back of a length on middle and nibbling away, Evin Lewis gets across a bit to block it off.
0.4
.
No run there either! Banged into the pitch and around middle, Lewis dabs it down in front of mid on.
0.3
.
A loud call of 'No' from Shai Hope and rightly so. Just back of a length at the body, nudged away to the left of mid-wicket and Evin Lewis looks for one but scampers back as Sam Curran latches onto the ball in a flash.
