16th over: West Indies 92-2 (Gayle 51, Hetmyer 34) The left-arm spinner Mitchell Santer replaces Lockie Ferguson (3-0-19-0) and goes straight around the wicket to the left-handers. There are three low-risk singles from the over, and that’s drinks.
“What a great start for West Indies,” says Andrew Hurley. “Shai Hope only took up three balls; no opportunity to put all the others under pressure to score to compensate his strike-rate.”
15th over: West Indies 89-2 (Gayle 50, Hetmyer 32) Gayle slaps Neesham over backward point for four to reach a typical two-paced fifty: lots of dot balls, lots of boundaries. It’s taken 52 balls, with five fours and three sixes.
