Tanzid Hasan advances down the track and mercilessly smashes it through the cover and mid off gap for a boundary. That was struck with some real venom.

Tanzid Hasan is rushed on the back foot and goes for the pull but gets it right off the cue end, lobbing it straight to Athanaze, who puts it down at deep mid-wicket.

Tawhid Hridoy gets down on a knee and sweeps it aerially, but mistimes it massively off the toe end. The ball dips in front of deep square leg where Jayden Seales is a bit slow to get off the blocks. Eventually, he puts in a dive forward, but fails to scoop it above the grass and shells it. A single taken.

Risky run! Akeal Hosein bowls this short and on off, Tawhid Hridoy punches it just wide of cover-point and sets off for the run. Roston Chase moves to his right, picks up and throws it at the keeper's end but it is just a bit wide. Shai Hope collects and breaks the stump, but by then Hasan has dragged his bat inside the crease. The replay confirms the same as well.

Shortish and on off, Tawhid Hridoy pushes it towards covers.

JUST SHORT! Drags his length back and around middle, Tanzid Hasan rocks back and heaves it away. 'Catch it' is the call from Shai Hope behind the stumps, but it just bounces in front of the rushing deep mid-wicket fielder. They cross.

OUT! BOWLED'EM! Akeal Hosein strikes right away! He gets a huge wicket here and, for the second time in the series, removes Litton Das. Pushed through quicker, on a fuller length and on middle and off, skids through. Litton Das, instead of playing it off the front foot, decides to commit on the back foot. He gets beaten all ends up and sees the furniture behind him rattled. Sherfane Rutherford will be a relieved man as his dropped catch does not cost much.

DROPPED AGAIN! Sherfane Rutherford is the culprit this time! Romario Shepherd goes fuller and on middle, angling it in a bit.

Sherfane Rutherford at short mid-wicket tries to settle under it, but with the ball swirling, he has to wait for an eternity for it to come down.

Trying to be a bit cheeky! Fuller ball, around the off stump. Litton Das gets across and tries to scoop it over short fine leg, but misses and wears on his body.

On a good length, outside off, Das dabs it to deep backward point for a single to get off the mark. A very successful over from West Indies' point of view. Just 2 runs and a wicket from it.

OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND GONE! Brandon King makes amends for his dropped catch. Honestly, a pretty reckless shot as the dot ball pressure was clearly showing.

SWING AND A MISS! Short of a good length, outside off, kicking off the pitch. Saif Hassan attempts to launch it over cover, but misses to connect. Another fantastic over from Jayden Seales. Just 5 off it.

A massive appeal for LBW, but not given. Shai Hope refuses to go upstairs, probably based on height. Seales spears it on a good length, getting it to move away from off. Saif Hassan gets across to flick it to the leg side, but misses and wears on the back pad. Ball Tracking validates Hope's decision as the ball is projected to miss the middle and leg stump. So, a smart decision from Hope to not review that.
