17.1 Shepherd to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, too much width outside off, Ishan Kishan cuts hard and gets it wide of backward point and beats third man too

17.3 Shepherd to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Athanaze!! What a catch! Tremendous leaping take by Athanaze at backward point. Ishan Kishan can't believe it as he makes the slow walk back. Earlier in the over, he cut a similar back of a length delivery outside off wide of Athanaze but this time, it's to his right and the youngster leaps and takes a blinder with both hands. Was hit so hard and was travelling. West Indies take two quick wickets. Ishan Kishan c Athanaze b Shepherd 55(55) [4s-6 6s-1]

Shepherd to Ishan Kishan, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Interesting that India continue to experiment. Today they have sent in Axar at 4. Whether this all works out remains to be seen but India springing surprises.

Pratyansh: Funny to see how India's current run rate is less than England's current run rate.

19.2 Shepherd to Axar, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Axar goes now. Great short ball at Axar and he is on the hop to evade that, but does not drop the gloves, flicks them for a simple catch to Shai Hope. The move to send Axar at 4 has not worked. West Indies and Shepherd using the pitch to their advantage. Axar c Shai Hope b Shepherd 1(8)

Shepherd to Axar, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
