BYE! Floats it up, wide of off. It grips and turns in off the deck. Craig Ervine misses to block it away. The batters collect a bye.

Gudakesh Motie to Brandon Mavuta
Tosses it up, full and on middle. Mavuta clears his front leg and goes for the flick. He is early into his shot and it catches the leading edge. The ball though lands safely behind the bowler. The fielder from mid on could not get there in time.

Alzarri Joseph to Brandon Mavuta
A loud appeal for caught behind but the umpire isn't convinced. This is short again and just angling down leg, Brandon Mavuta looks to pull but misses and it is a brilliant take from Joshua Da Silva diving to his left. There was a faint noise but very hard to tell.

Alzarri Joseph to Brandon Mavuta
Good length at the stumps and nipping back in sharply off the deck. Brandon Mavuta gets caught on the crease and gets pinged on the pads. There's a stifled appeal for lbw but not from the bowler.

Another appeal for lbw but it is turned down and Brandon Mavuta survives. Tossed up on leg stump and turning it into the right-hander. Mavuta misses the tuck and gets hit on the pads.

OUT! TAKEN! Another sharp catch at short leg by Raymon Reifer and West Indies have their 8th wicket. Roston Chase comes on and bowls it on a nagging length around off, turning it in.

Gudakesh Motie to Victor Nyauchi
OUT! STUMPED! Victor Nyauchi is undone by the turn here. Who else, it is Gudakesh Motie who puts the final nail in the coffin. A fitting end to this enticing Test match. This is looped up, angled in on off. Victor Nyauchi dances down the track and tries to heave it away but misses. The ball drips and turns away sharply. Joshua Da Silva pouches the ball and is quick to get rid of the bails. Victor Nyauchi is way out of the crease. West Indies win the Test match by an innings and four runs.
