   189/9
2. 44.1144.1, 1 run

   Seales to Santner, 1 run

   Around the wicket, back of a length and got it to curve back from outside off, spanked high but not entirely mighty, however, it will do the job as there is no one at deep extra cover; the duo picks up a couple and Santner breaks West Indians hearts! Gets his team to the…

2. 43.6•43.6, dot ball

   Lawes to Lennox, no run

   Prolonged appeal for an lbw and Ahsan Raza shakes his head! It's been a marvelous over! They have to consult the third umpire. Thumping the pads. Lands outside off, impact is outside and the original decision stands. Spot on from Ahsan under pressure in a tight game

3. 43.5•43.5, dot ball

   Lawes to Lennox, no run

   Lovely legbreak again, not giving up, never say never, straightens on middle and he blocks firmly

4. 43.4•43.4, dot ball

   Lawes to Lennox, no run

   Lobbed up full and slanting in at middle and leg, driven back to the bowler

5. 43.3•43.3, dot ball

   Lawes to Lennox, no run

   Pulls his length back and gets some turn across off, opens the face and slices it to point

6. 43.2•43.2, dot ball

   Lawes to Lennox, no run

   Bowls a delicious legbreak turning across off, blocked to cover towards the packed off-side field

7. 43.1•43.1, dot ball

   Lawes to Lennox, no run

   Tossed up just outside off, very very close to the bat, sent upstairs to check if it kisses the outside edge, nothing on the ultra-edge

2. 42.6•42.6, dot ball

   Seales to Santner, no run

   Bit short and angling back in at off, lunges at it and watchfully deflects it to cover, you know what, it doesn't matter who wins, West Indies would be very proud of the way they fought today, Sir Garry Sobers will be very proud watching somewhere from the heavens; they have…

3. 42.5242.5, 2 runs

   Seales to Santner, 2 runs

   That was the moment, West Indies cannot believe it! Fans stunned, Sammy shellshocked! It was agonisly in the air, two men were converging at cover, they both made a meal of it, and they are down crestfallen, Greaves was one of them, they know this was the moment to seize! Long…

4. 42.4•42.4, dot ball

   Seales to Santner, no run

   Pearler of a delivery! Hands on his head. Bit short and zinging back in at off-stump, tries to carve it away and attempts an expansive drive, doesn't connect, fielders coming in close

5. 42.3•42.3, dot ball

   Seales to Santner, no run

   Touch short and plugging back in at Sannter, takes the outer part of the blade and deflects away to backward point, on the cusp of a victory. Why don't they try yorkers?

6. 42.2•42.2, dot ball

   Seales to Santner, no run

   Shortish and floating outside off, behind it resolutely blocked into the off-side, his grit and defiance are praiseworthy

7. 42.1•42.1, dot ball

   Seales to Santner, no run

   Around the wicket, hammered short and outside off, opens the face and dabs it away behind point

2. 41.6•41.6, dot ball

   Forde to Lennox, no run

   Picks up the little shortish ball whizzing in from a wide off-stump line, he arches out and blocks it to short cover, not quite on target, got to get closer to the stumps, go for the poles, try a yorker, gave width and he keeps it out easily.

3. 41.5141.5, 1 run

   Forde to Santner, 1 run

   Wide of the crease, lands it short and outside off, cross-batted shot to cover fielder who was at edge of the 30-yard ring, takes a single and exposes Lennox for one ball, Sammy cannot watch it anymore

4. 41.4441.4, 4 runs

   Forde to Santner, FOUR

   Everything so right about that stroke! Shorter on off, doesn't bounce much, excellent timing, gorgeously pumped it to midwicket for a four, just a boundary away from a win. It's now or never for West Indies. Just need a W and that's all. What a timely boundary from Santner; he…

5. 41.3•41.3, dot ball

   Forde to Santner, no run

   Got to admire Santner's composure, leadership, temperament, and self-efficacy! Gets a back of a length ball just outside off, belts it to long-off, waiting for an opportunity to eke out a boundary from somewhere

6. 41.2•41.2, dot ball

   Forde to Santner, no run

   Fans on the edge of their seats! Could be anybody's game. Wide of the crease, lands it short and shapes it back at off, opens the face and jabs it to deep cover-point

7. 41.1•41.1, dot ball

   Forde to Santner, no run

   Around the wicket, back of a length and cross-seam, curling wide of off, flings the bat out, trying to poke at it with soft hands, doesn't connect, pressure!

2. 40.6•40.6, dot ball

   Seales to Lennox, no run

   On a good length outside off, blocked

3. 40.5•40.5, dot ball

   Seales to Lennox, no run

   Oh gosh! Nearly chopped back onto stumps, tantalizingly close to dragging it on, corker of a delivery, shorter in length and it veered back, too close to cut, too close to play, caught up in two minds

4. 40.4140.4, 1 run

   Seales to Santner, 1 run

   Climbing through from back of a length and tight on off, opens the face and clatters it to sweeper cover, wanted the second so bad but sent back, would have been an out for sure had he pushed for the second

5. 40.3•40.3, dot ball

   Seales to Santner, no run

   We were used to these kind of thrillers from West Indies when the likes of Bravo, Samuels and Gayle used to play. This is good stuff from West Indies as Seales comes around the wicket, hammers it shorter and keeps it tight on off, jabbed to cover-point

6. 40.2•40.2, dot ball

   Seales to Santner, no run

   Back of a length and offers him width, encourages him to take a single, he says thank you very much, I would pass. Dabs it away to third man

7. 40.1•40.1, dot ball

   Seales to Santner, no run

   Around the wicket, touch short and dancing in the channel, calmly deflected away to cover-point
