WIDE! This is down the leg side and swinging further down. Hope misses the flick and a wide is called.

A touch fuller and in that channel around off, shaping back in. Hope makes a good leave.

FOUR! Shai Hope gets off the mark and in some style too. This is pitched up, well outside off. Hope leans in and strokes it away with excellent timing and through covers for a boundary.

Trent Boult begins after the break with a full delivery really wide outside off, Shai Hope sways his arms and tries to reach for it but gets beaten. 

FOUR! Big over for West Indies with the delay! Trent Boult bowls this a fraction short and outside off, Shai Hope cuts this well over the point fielder for a boundary to deep point. 10 runs have come from the first over.
