Direct hit but Shai Hope is safe! Kruger keeps it into the wicket, on off, Shai Hope punches it with a high elbow to the left of cover.

Patrick Kruger to Shimron Hetmyer
On a hard length, on off, Shimron Hetmyer punches it hard but can't get it past the man at cover. A decent over from Kruger, just the 5 runs off it. The bowler at the other end will have to back Kruger up now.

Lizaad Williams to Shimron Hetmyer
And again! Williams slants it across the left-hander, on a length, Shimron Hetmyer loses his shape a bit this time as he swings hard to go down the ground and he misses again.

Three dots on the trot! Williams bangs in a slower bumper, around off, Shimron Hetmyer lets it go thinking it is a wide for height but there is no signal from the umpire.

Lizaad Williams to Shimron Hetmyer
FOUR! Streaky but Hetmyer will take it! On the sixth stump line, on a good length, Shimron Hetmyer looks to heave it across the line but gets an outside edge that races past short third for a boundary. Still, only 5 runs off the over. West Indies need 46 runs from 42 balls.

Good running between the wickets between these two. 8 runs come off that over and West Indies now need 38 from 36 balls. This is shorter in length and on middle and leg, Shimron Hetmyer swivels back and pulls it off the inner half of the bat in front of deep mid-wicket and gets a brace.

Kwena Maphaka to Shai Hope
Bowls it into the deck, short and over middle, Shai Hope is a bit early on the pull and gets a feather onto his helmet and the ball loops behind the keeper for a single. Shai Hope will have a mandatory concussion check!

Pace off, just outside off, fuller too, Shai Hope looks to cut it away on the off side but gets deceived by the lack of pace on it. West Indies need 26 off 30 balls!

Ottneil Baartman to Shimron Hetmyer
FOUR! Class written all over it! Too full, on middle and leg, Shimron Hetmyer shimmies down the track and makes a bit of room for himself before placing the drive precisely in the gap between cover and mid off for a boundary.
