41.2 - Samuels to Naveed, FOUR, full and outside off stump, Naveed drives very hard through cover-point and it rocketed to the fence

39.1 - Samuels to Amjad Javed, FOUR, he's hammered that. Short and outside off stump, Javed goes leg-side and gives himself a bit of room, plays the cut really well and times sweetly. The ball runs away through backward point

38.5 - Roach to Amjad Javed, FOUR, slower ball outside off stump, Javed picks it early and drives it through cover. That is his maiden ODI fifty and also the hundred partnership as well. This is a great recovery from UAE

38.3 - Roach to Aziz, FOUR, short of length delivery on the stumps, Aziz swings across the line and gets it on the inside half of the bat, the ball rolls away to the fine leg boundary

38.2 - Roach to Aziz, FOUR, short and outside off stump, Aziz rocks back and pulls it over mid-wicket. The fielders hardly move. West Indies need some inspiration

36.1 - Roach to Amjad Javed, FOUR, even a desperate dive from the fielder at fine leg was not good enough. Poor start to the new spell for Roach. Good length delivery angling into the right-hander, Javed tickles it fine and gets four

35.5 - Samuels to Aziz, FOUR, goes across and down on one knee to paddle it fine to the fine leg boundary. This is good batting from Aziz

31.3 - Samuels to Amjad Javed, FOUR, too short from Samuels and Javed doesn't miss out. Cuts nicely off the back foot, he made a bit of room as well and sends it to the left of backward point

26.2 - Jerome Taylor to Amjad Javed, FOUR, backs away and squeezes it out. Full and outside off stump, Javed sends it between cover-point and backward point for four

26.0 - Roach to Aziz, FOUR, short delivery outside off stump, Aziz pulls it through mid-wicket and raises the fifty partnership

25.4 - Roach to Aziz, FOUR, bumper not rising much, Aziz rocks back and pulls it over backward square leg and there was no one in the deep

23.3 - Roach to Aziz, FOUR, edged, but safe! Good length delivery outside off stump, Aziz pushes away from the body and gets a thick edge, second slip flies to his right but doesn't get there

21.1 - Roach to Aziz, FOUR, edged and dropped, but it was a very tough chance. Short and wide outside off stump, Aziz looks to cut, gets an outside edge that flies high to Holder's left at first slip. He jumps high and tries to grab it with both hands but only manages to get his fingertips

19.4 - J Holder to Aziz, FOUR, Aziz gets lucky. No position to pull and he gets lucky, swivels on the shot and gets a top edge over the slip cordon, runs away to the fence

19.0 - A Russell to Amjad Javed, FOUR, every now and then Amjad Javed will take a risk. He backs away and drills the low full toss wide of mid-on. Russell didn't like that, has a stare at the batsman

16.2 - Roach to Amjad Javed, FOUR, cracking shot that. Fraction short outside off, Amjad Javed rocked forward and then pressed back to flash a cut that left the fielders standing and applauding

6.3 - Jerome Taylor to K Khan, FOUR, pitched up outside off and Khan latches on, bends his knee a little and square drives wide of point. Class written all over the shot from Khan. The ball screamed away tot the fence

1.3 - J Holder to Andri Berenger, FOUR, edged and Andri Berenger gets away, back of a length outside off, Andri Berenger tried to withdraw the bat from the ball's path, was too late and the thick edge flew over Sammy's left-hand at 2nd slip, he leapt high but it was well over him. Can't call that a drop

40.5 - A Russell to Naveed, SIX, short and on the stumps, Naveed muscles the pull very hard and clears deep mid-wicket. Remember, this bloke thrashed Dale Steyn in the previous match

10.1 - Jerome Taylor to Amjad Javed, SIX, what a hit that is. That has come out of the blue. Holder looks stunned. Jerome Taylor went full and on the stumps, Amjad Javed backed away and then slogged it miles over long-on, connected well and sent it way back

47.4 - Jerome Taylor to M Tauqir, out Bowled!! Third wicket for Jerome Taylor and all have been bowled. Full and on the stumps, Tauqir plays all around it and tries to play across the line, misses and the ball brushes the pad before crashing into the off stump. M Tauqir b Jerome Taylor 2(19)

43.4 - Samuels to Aziz, out Caught by J Holder!! Soft dismissal. Flighted delivery outside off stump, Aziz advances and looks to go inside-out, he gives himself a bit of room as well, but he drives it straight to cover. The crowd applaud's Aziz's effort as he walks of the field. He's played a great innings under pressure. Aziz c J Holder b Samuels 60(86) [4s-8]

42.1 - A Russell to Naveed, out Bowled!! Full and straight, Naveed doesn't manage to keep it out and it crashes into the base of middle and leg. End of a cameo from Naveed. It was fast and full, Naveed had no clue about the yorker, he was beaten for pace and missed the ball completely. Naveed b A Russell 14(9) [4s-1 6s-1]

40.3 - A Russell to Amjad Javed, out Bowled!! Finally, West Indies have managed to break this excellent 107-run stand. Javed gets a good round of applause from the crowd as he walks off the field and he raises his bat. Slower ball from Russell, Javed goes for the slog. He clears his front foot as well, but only manages to inside edge it onto leg stump. Amjad Javed b A Russell 56(99) [4s-7 6s-1]

13.5 - J Holder to Swapnil Patil, out Bowled!! Holder has four and UAE are 6 down. Went wide of the crease and angled it in, it nipped back a long way and beat the forward defensive of Swapnil Patil, big gap between bat and pad, the ball thuds into the stumps and it's a sorry sight for the batter. Swapnil Patil b J Holder 6(20)

8.2 - Jerome Taylor to Shaiman Anwar, out Bowled!! Taylor knocks UAE's best batsman over. Nips back in a tad, cross-seam delivery, on of and middle, Shaiman Anwar plays all around it, ambitious stroke attempted as he tries to flick, the ball pings the pad and then clatters into off and middle stump, the off stump lies flat on the ground. Fab stuff from the Windies in a do-or-die game. Shaiman Anwar b Jerome Taylor 2(6)

6.4 - Jerome Taylor to K Khan, out Bowled!! Unplayable! What.A.Ball. Super comeback from Taylor to knock the leg stump out. Late swing into Khan, he wasn't expecting the ball to swing in so much, gets his bat down late on the flick, gets a tiny inside edge, but the ball smashes into leg stump and knocks it out. Taylor is high-fiving his team-mates after jumping all around. West Indies all over UAE like a cheap suit. K Khan b Jerome Taylor 5(5) [4s-1]

5.3 - J Holder to Amjad Ali, out Lbw!! Holder is on fire. He is bowling beautifully and has struck for the third time. This one was on a a fuller length and on middle, Amjad Ali fell over in trying to flick and missed the shot, the ball thudded into the pads, huge appeal and umpire Ranmore Martinesz had the finger up. Amjad Ali reviews in vain. Amjad Ali lbw b J Holder 5(19)

5.1 - J Holder to Karate, out Caught by Dwayne Smith!! Holder strikes again. Holder is just keeping it on a good length and outside off, bit of seam movement and that does Karate in, he was looking to defend, but with an open face, and that proves fatal, the edge carrying nicely to first slip where Smith makes no mistake. West Indies on their way. Karate c Dwayne Smith b J Holder 0(6)

3.1 - J Holder to Andri Berenger, out Caught by Ramdin!! Edged and given out. It was a fine delivery from Holder, back of a length and holding its line outside off, with a bit of extra bounce, Berenger wasn't fully forward and in trying to defend, could only edge it behind. Ramdin catches it and throws it away. Just the start the West Indies needed. Andri Berenger c Ramdin b J Holder 7(7) [4s-1]

36.5 - Roach to Aziz, 1 run, maiden ODI fifty for Aziz. Fullish and angling into the right-hander, Aziz glances it to fine leg. He takes the helmet off, raises his bat and acknowledges the applause. He hugs his partner as well

27.3 - Amjad Javed to Ramdin, FOUR, straying on the pads, Ramdin goes across and clips it behind square on the on-side, the ball runs away to the fence

14.0 - Manjula Guruge to Charles, FOUR, poor ball from Guruge! It was short and wide outside off, Charles cuts it and gets it to the left of backward point, who had no chance of chasing it down, 100 up for West Indies as well

12.4 - M Tauqir to J Carter, FOUR, beautiful shot! Back-to-back boundaries for Carter as he drills this tossed up delivery on middle stump through the covers, the timing on that was just superb

12.3 - M Tauqir to J Carter, FOUR, drifting on leg, Carter kneels down and sweeps it fine, beats the dive of the short fine leg fielder who had dived across to his left, the ball runs away to the fence

11.0 - Naveed to Charles, FOUR, what timing! It was just short of a good length delivery angled across off, Charles gets behind it, opens the face of the bat and pushes it in the gap between cover-point and cover, the fielders give chase but the timing takes it away to the fence

7.1 - Manjula Guruge to Samuels, FOUR, that's the Samuels we know! It was a half volley outside off, Samuels leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and drives it straight down the ground, the ball runs away to the fence in no time

4.3 - Naveed to Charles, FOUR, width on offer and Charles latches onto it, he frees his arms as he cuts it square of the wicket with fierce power, the ball rockets away to the fence

3.0 - Aziz to Charles, FOUR, flatter and just outside off, Charles makes room and drives it through extra cover, Karate from mid-off gives chase, but the ball beats him to the fence

1.3 - Naveed to Charles, FOUR, banged in short and at the batsman, Charles plays a controlled pull and gets it in front of square on the on-side, the fielder from mid-wicket moves across to his right, dives but can't stop the ball, he rolled his wrists over it to send it along the ground

0.4 - Aziz to Charles, FOUR, comes down the track and lofts this flighted delivery over covers, he didn't time it that well, but the ball had enough legs to reach the fence

16.4 - M Tauqir to A Russell, SIX, that's a super shot from Russell, it was floated up on middle, Russell heaves it over the deep mid-wicket fence and that went a mile there

6.0 - Manjula Guruge to Charles, SIX, Charles is in some mood today, he walks down the track and heaves this fullish delivery on leg over deep mid-wicket, the ball carried over the rope, great shot from him. It was a flat, flat six

2.3 - Aziz to Dwayne Smith, SIX, like Johnson Charles, Dwayne Smith follows the four with a six, it was floated up on the stumps, Smith clears the front leg and hammers it over the long-on fence

0.5 - Aziz to Charles, SIX, follows up the four with a six, It was darted in, Charles stays leg-side of the ball and launches it handsomely over the long-on boundary

17.2 - Amjad Javed to A Russell, out Caught&Bowled!! Ohh dear! Russell is gone as well. It was short and on off stump, Russell went for the pull but ends up getting a top-edge, the bowler moves to his left, gets under it and takes a good catch. 2 wickets in 2 overs for Javed. A Russell c and b Amjad Javed 7(8) [6s-1]

15.2 - Amjad Javed to Charles, out Caught by Karate!! Javed picks up a wicket off his second ball and Charles goes after a good fifty.

It was on a good length and outside off, the ball shapes in as Smith goes chasing after it, it takes the inside edge to the keeper, who appealed immediately. The bowler didn't think there was any edge there, but umpire Aleem Dar spotted it right as he raised his finger immediately. Gurgue gets the breakthrough with his first ball. Dwayne Smith c Swapnil Patil b Manjula Guruge 15(9) [4s-1 6s-1]

29.3 - Amjad Javed to J Carter, 1 run, stays back inside the crease and dabs this length delivery outside off to square third man, the single brings up the maiden ODI fifty for Carter

27.1 - Amjad Javed to Ramdin, 2 runs, a direct-hit would have been curtains for Ramdin, it was a back of a length delivery outside off, Ramdin dabs it down towards third man and comes back for the second, Haider runs to his right in the deep, picks the ball up and fires in the throw at the striker's end, Ramdin was coming for the second and if Haider's throw had hit the stumps directly, Ramdin would have been a goner. In fact, had the keeper collected it as well and whipped the bails off, Ramdin would have been out. UAE miss out on a good chance.

14.5 - M Tauqir to J Carter, leg byes, 2 runs, flatter and quicker, Carter was waiting for the ball to turn there, but it came back with the angle, he was caught in the crease and the ball flicks the pad before it rolls behind the track, there was a loud appeal and it was very close, but since the onfield decision was 'Not Out', it stays that way and the batsmen sneak in two leg byes, UAE lose their review even though the ball was crashing into the stumps

13.4 - Manjula Guruge to Charles, 2 runs, 3rd ODI fifty for Charles and what a return it has been for him, it was short of length and well outside off, Charles slaps it wide of long-off and gets back for the second
