Jason Holder to Mark Watt, out Caught by Shepherd!! Fittingly it is Shepherd who has taken it. Full on middle, Mark Watt comes down the track to loft, the thick outside-edge loops to the left of Shepherd and he takes it easily at short third man. Just a small leap and he mistimed that, but has such big hands. Takes it and tumbles to ground. West Indies win by 35 runs. Mark Watt c Shepherd b Jason Holder 15(12) [4s-2]

Jason Holder to Mark Watt, FOUR, slower-ball and full on off, Mark Watt leans back and thumps it straight down the ground, splits long-off and long-on. Consecutive fours

Jason Holder to Mark Watt, FOUR, full outside off, Mark Watt knows it's in the slot, gets forward and lofts easily over mid-off

Shepherd to Oliver Davidson, out Bowled!! Hat-trick for Shepherd. The off-stump takes a beating. Shepherd is mobbed by his mates. This is a fine delivery. Seam-up and late tail back in, shapes in from outside off, Oliver Davidson leans back to drive, misses and the ball goes past the inside-edge to knock back off-stump. Shepherd runs away towards Hetmyer his fellow Guyanese to celebrate. What a moment. A T20I World Cup hat-trick. A moment to savor. Sammy and the others are up in the dugout to celebrate as well. Oliver Davidson b Shepherd 0(1)

Shepherd to Leask, out Caught by Powell!! Taken at long-on. Powell seems to have landed badly on his right shoulder. He is grimacing. Full outside off, Leask gets forward to loft, off the bottom of the bat and Powell runs to his right and takes it on the reverse-cup. Then falls. Now the physio is stretching his right arm. Should be fine the Jamaican who is built like a tank. Leask c Powell b Shepherd 0(1)

Shepherd to Cross, out Caught by Rutherford!! Rutherford had just come in for this ball at backward point and Cross finds him.

Gudakesh Motie to Tom Bruce, out Lbw!! Big wicket this. Fired flat on a good length on off, Tom Bruce sinks low to slogsweep and misses, hit on the back thigh.

Tom Bruce lbw b Gudakesh Motie 35(28) [4s-1 6s-2]

Jason Holder to Berrington, out Caught by Shamar Joseph!! The dangerous Berrington falls. He couldn't have picked out Shamar at sweeper cover any better. A slower-ball off-cutter and short of length outside off, Berrington cuts hard and doesn't keep it down. Also the 100th T20I wicket for Jason Holder. The first West Indian to do it. Berrington was looking very dangerous and West Indies will be relieved at that wicket. Holder is doing the talking as the team get together. Also time for drinks. Berrington c Shamar Joseph b Jason Holder 42(24) [4s-3 6s-2]

Shamar Joseph to George Munsey, out Caught by Shimron Hetmyer!! What.A.Catch. Hetmyer with an absolute worldie at deep backward square-leg. And look at the West Indians. They run as a man to the Guyanese. Shamar his fellow Guyanese lifts him. Hosein bows in respect. This is such a stunner. George Munsey can't believe it. He has smashed the pull flat and it's flying, Hetmyer moves, dives to his right and with an outstretched right hand, the ball sticks. He was airborne when he caught that and lands safely with the ball still in hand. He can't seem to do anything wrong these days.

World Cups happening frequently; should be every 4 years: Dinesh Karthik

Shepherd to McMullen, out Bowled!! McMullen goes. He tries to be too cute. Length delivery outside off, he shuffles across looking for the scoop, plays it on to leg-stump. Slightly unlucky but these can happen with the scoop. He was looking good but departs without a big score. McMullen b Shepherd 14(12) [4s-1 6s-1]

Jason Holder to Michael Jones, out Caught by Rutherford!! Straight to deep square-leg. It's a length delivery outside off, Michael Jones swings well but picks out the fielder to perfection.

Brad Currie to Shepherd, SIX, a one-handed swipe and Shepherd gets enough on the shot to clear the straight boundary - was the attempted yorker, but it turned out to be a low full-toss - Shepherd didn't get hold of the shot, but he went back over the bowler's head and his power was enough to clear the men in the deep

Brad Currie to Rutherford, out Caught by Michael Jones!!

Rutherford c Michael Jones b Brad Currie 26(13) [4s-4 6s-1]

Safyaan Sharif to Shimron Hetmyer, out Caught by McMullen!! That's a magnificent catch from McMullen and it's one of the 'play of the day'. Shimron Hetmyer isn't going anywhere though and the 3rd umpire will probably have a look at this. Is it for the height of the ball or is it for a clean catch? Was a tad high full-toss and Shimron Hetmyer heaved over wide mid-wicket - the ball was going away from McMullen's reach, but he sprints to his left from long-on, slides across and completes a fine outstretched catch. Went with both hands, softened the impact on landing on the turf and ensured that the ball didn't pop out. Umpire Jayaraman Madanagopal had one look at the legality of the ball - 'dipping under the waist', he says and Hetmyer walks. Shimron Hetmyer c McMullen b Safyaan Sharif 64(36) [4s-2 6s-6]
