After 15 overs,West Indies 84/4 ( Roston Chase 34 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 12)
Some much-needed hitting for the West Indies in this over with Chase and Pooran collecting a boundary each as Mustafizur ends up leaking 14 runs in this over. The Windies could use another couple of such overs in the remainder of their innings to give their bowlers something to defend.
After 14 overs,West Indies 70/4 ( Roston Chase 29 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 4)

OUT! And now Andre Russel’s run out for a diamond duck right after Kieron Pollard heads back to the dugout retired hurt! Chase drives down the ground, and the ball brushes Taskin’s fingers before going on to hit timber, catching Russell short of the crease. WI 62/4

After 12 overs,West Indies 61/3 ( Roston Chase 26 , Kieron Pollard (C) 7)
Another tidy over from Shakib with five coming off it, including a leg bye at the start of the over. Decent little partnership starting to build between Chase and Pollard though they really will need the big hits coming more frequently now.
After 11 overs,West Indies 56/3 ( Roston Chase 24 , Kieron Pollard (C) 5)
Mustafizur returns after the drinks interval. The ball stops awkwardly on Chase in the third delivery, and the all-rounder ends up chipping it towards the vacant midwicket region. Thick edge next ball beats the keeper and runs towards third man for a single. Chase ends the over with a boundary — only the third in the 11 overs that have been bowled so far in the innings.
After 10 overs,West Indies 48/3 ( Roston Chase 19 , Kieron Pollard (C) 3)
Shakib brought in for the first time in the 10th over. The left-arm spinner keeps it tidy, giving away just four off it as Windies struggle their way to 48/3 at the halfway stage.
After 9 overs,West Indies 44/3 ( Roston Chase 17 , Kieron Pollard (C) 2)
Another top over from Mustafizur, with just five coming off it, including a wide down the leg side in the final ball. Even though the wicket looks like it might be a little difficult to score on at the moment and might ease out later today, the Bangladeshis have simply been superb with the ball, giving little room and grabbing nearly every chance coming their way.
After 8 overs,West Indies 39/3 ( Roston Chase 14 , Kieron Pollard (C) 1)
Taskin returns, and creates a chance right away as Pollard gets a nick in the third delivery, though the ball ultimately lands short of the keeper’s gloves, with the WI skipper collecting a single thanks to a fumble. Six from the over. Windies going at less than five an over so far. Only two boundaries conceded so far in the innings.
