FOUR! Past the diving fielder and into the fence. Fuller and on middle, Chase shows the full face of the bat and creams it through mid on. Once it beat the diving fielder, the man running after it from mid off had no chance. 11 more needed.

Ur Rahman to R Chase
OUT! TIMBER! Heartbreak for Chase! He falls six short of his first ODI ton. What an innings though by him. He has done the job he was sent out for. His 163-run stand with Hope has taken his team almost over the line. A round of applause as he walks back. Afghanistan finally have something to be happy out. Mujeeb bowls a short one on off, it stays a touch low. Chase looks to bring his ton up with a hit as he tries to pull this. Misses and the ball clips the off pole. For a second, Chase waits as he must have felt the bails would have come off of the gloves of the keeper but that is not the case. He needs to walk back.

Ur Rahman to N Pooran
Almost gets another! This is flatter and outside off, Pooran looks to cut but that shot is not on. He gets an inside edge which goes past the leg pole and down towards fine leg for one. West Indies a biggie away now.

FOUR! Pooran finishes it off in style! All smiles in the Windies camp as they have taken a 1-0 lead in the series. Pooran gets a gift to end the game, short and wide outside off. He slaps it through covers for a boundary. WEST INDIES WIN BY 7 WICKETS!
