A huge appeal for LBW but the umpire turns it down. It looks pretty straight but height might be an issue. The Kiwis have a chat about it and Mitchell Santner opts against the review. On a good length and on off, darts back in sharply and beats Carty's defense to go on and hit the pads. Ball Tracking later shows that it was going comfortably over.

Drinks break! It has been a tough outing for the Windies batters so far as the ball has seamed around a bit due to the breeze and there's been extra bounce on offer as well. The Kiwi pacers have bowled well but haven't picked up much wickets which has allowed Keacy Carty and Alick Athanaze to settle down and both of them will be eager to kick on in the middle overs.
0
Keacy Carty has taken more than a few body blows so far in this inning but now he seems to be dealing with a hamstring issue as well. The physio comes out to stretch that hamstring and hopefully, Carty will be fine. A bit of a prolonged delay but eventually, we are good to continue.

Drinks break! This has been a watchful chase so far from West Indies and for a team that bats so deep, one would think they would take a few more risks up top. However, the set batters have thrown their wickets away and a lot rests on the shoulders of skipper Shai Hope and the southpaw Sherfane Rutherford to give them a platform from where they can launch. Having said that, the Kiwi bowlers have been immaculate with their lines and lengths and have hardly given away bad balls. 163 needed off 114 balls and with the Windies firepower waiting in the shed, this could still go down to the wire. Also, Michael Bracewell has now been tossed the ball.

Double change as now Zakary Foulkes comes back into the attack.

A pause in play as the physio comes out to perform a mandatory concussion check on Sherfane Rutherford. Given the protocols, the helmet will be changed as well, but thankfully, Rutherford seems fine.

Right then, that is it from the 1st ODI at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch but there's plenty of action still left in this series.

Until then, take care and goodbye!
