Roston Chase to Pathum Nissanka, OUT! TAKEN! That's an excellent catch taken by Shai Hope. You need a lot of composure and reflexes to take that one.

It is just dropping to the left of the batter, and that's when Shai Hope dives to his front, extends his arms and pouches the catch. That's an exceptional take by the skipper of West Indies.

West Indies started very well in the first 10 overs, but after that, when Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis got settled at the crease, they forged a 136-run partnership. Now the question is, will the Windies bowlers be able to capitalize on his breakthrough? Only time will tell. Also, Pavan Rathnayake is the new man in.
