West Indies innings
2nd over -
Johnson Charles is bowled by Trent Boult for three. WI: 4-1

3rd over - Tim Southee has a massive appeal for a catch off Chris Gayle turned down. The review upholds the on-field decision. WI: 5-1

5th over - Lendl Simmons drives Southee down the ground for his side's first boundary before Gayle hammers a flat six in front of square and then hits another four. WI: 21-1

6th over - Simmons slashes Boult over cover point for a six and then is caught on the next ball at second slip by Martin Guptill for 12. WI: 30-2

7th over - Gayle hits left-arm spinner Daniel Vettori for three successive sixes to bring up team 50. WI: 51-2
9th over - Southee replaces Vettori and is hit for three fours and a six by Marlon Samuels as he brings up the 50-run partnership. WI: 80-2

10th over - Samuels is brilliantly caught for 27 by Vettori on the third man boundary as the former captain jumps in the air and hauls in a one-handed catch. Boult then traps Denesh Ramdin lbw for a duck. WI: 80-4
