Mark Adair to Sheldon Cottrell, SIX! Sheldon Cottrell, you beauty! A tail-ender has finished the game for West Indies. A length ball, outside off, Sheldon backs away and lofts it as clean as a whistle over extra cover! Time for the salute, young man, because WEST INDIES WIN THEIR FIRST ODI SERIES SINCE 2014! And how! By a solitary wicket!

Mark Adair to Alzarri Joseph, OUT! CAUGHT! Joseph departs now. Ireland clutching at straws to try and stay alive. A short ball outside off but very slow in pace. It is 99 kph and Joseph has already lined himself up for the big shot. However, he realizes at the last moment that it is a slower ball. Tries to hold himself back and pull it over mid-wicket but the transition is not that smooth. The ball goes off the toe end of the bat, straight to Paul Stirling at short mid-wicket who completes the formalities! End of a fine 32-run stand. 6 needed, 14 balls left, 1 wicket in hand.

Mark Adair to Alzarri Joseph, FOUR! Alzarri, take a bow! West Indies are a hit away from victory. A length ball outside off, once again Alzarri lofts this, only the angle going wide of mid off. One bounce into the fence again. 6 more needed from 15 balls!

Mark Adair to Alzarri Joseph, FOUR! Ho ho ho! That is for the photographers! What a shot. Full and outside off, Joseph lofts this straight back over the bowler's head, one bounce and into the long off fence!

Andy McBrine to Alzarri Joseph, FOUR! Dear me, what a shot! Outside off, on a length, Alzarri punches this through the covers. He finds the gap and the boundary as well! Coach Phil Simmons smiles in the dressing room. Who is more nervous now? West Indies, or Ireland?

Andy McBrine to Khary Pierre, OUT! CAUGHT! The partnership is broken! Ireland find their voice again. Pierre cannot believe what he has done. He just stands there, looking at the ground and then storms off. Tossed up delivery on off, Pierre looks to punch but the ball spins away slightly and takes the outside edge. It goes towards first slip quickly but Paul Stirling reacts nicely to take a sharp catch. The 52-run stand has been broken. Who is your money on now? 38 runs needed, 67 balls left, 2 wickets in hand.

Andy McBrine to Khary Pierre, SIX! Up, up and away! A gift from McBrine. A high full toss, around off, Pierre gets down the track and swings it over mid-wicket! 10 from the over, 20 from the last 2. Pressure back on Ireland.

Barry McCarthy to Hayden Walsh, FOUR! Excellent shot. That is a good way to get going after the break. Full delivery on middle, Walsh drives it through mid on for a boundary. 77 more needed from 112 balls.

Barry McCarthy to Hayden Walsh, EDGED, FOUR! All these help. The approach is right from Ireland, stacking up the slip cordon and releasing men at the boundary. McCarthy bowls this full and wide outside off and entices a drive. Walsh throws his bat at it and gets a thick outside edge. However, as they say, fortune favours the brave. The edge flies past second slip and races to the third man fence.

Simi Singh to Khary Pierre, FOUR! Nicely played. Full and down the leg side, Pierre sweeps this past short fine leg and gets a boundary. 11 runs but a wicket as well from the over - 13/3 in the last 3!

Simi Singh to Romario Shepherd, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one falls. Credit to the captaincy and the field placement. A ball before, Balbirnie got a man closing in near the bowler and is rewarded. Paul Stirling was stationed at short mid-wicket and he gets into action straightaway. Fractionally short in length, around middle, Romario rocks back and looks to pull but he finds Paul Stirling at short mid-wicket, who gets low to his right and snaps it! Shepherd has come and Shepherd has gone. Ireland in control. Do West Indies have any bowling all-rounders? The required run rate is not that high but neither is the wicket balance. They just need to somehow forge a partnership and put some pressure back on the Irish. 90 needed from 128 balls.

Simi Singh to Romario Shepherd, SIX! MURDERED! This boy can bat alright. Full and outside off, a bit of flight, Shepherd gets down and mows a slog sweep over mid-wicket!

Barry McCarthy to Kieron Pollard, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Well, well, well. Has that rain break opened the door slightly for the Irish? They are now trying to kick it wide open. Pollard is gone now. A length ball, around off, Pollard looks to work this to the leg side but the ball sticks on the pitch a touch. As a result, a leading edge is induced which lobs towards the bowler. McCarthy is alert to it, dives to his right and pouches it! He is pumped up and why shouldn't he be? The match is alive again. 96 more needed. Plenty of time left. 133 balls. 4 wickets in hand. But lots of inexperience.

Simi Singh to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! BOWLED! That is a stunning ball from Simi Singh. The break has affected Pooran's concentration and he is gone. Flighted delivery, around leg, Nicholas lunges to defend but the ball drifts in the air, straightens a touch, squares Pooran up, beats the outside edge and hits the middle peg! The game opens up again. Into the inexperienced lower middle order. 98 needed from 143 balls.

Boyd Rankin to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! 50 for Nicholas Pooran. It is his 6th ODI fifty. What an innings this has been from him. Short and outside off, Pooran cuts it hard through point for a boundary. Also, the 50-run stand is up between Pooran and Pollard.

Gareth Delany to Kieron Pollard, SIX! This one is out of the ground too! Two magnanimous hits from KP. Full delivery on middle, Pollard gets a big stride and lofts it over long on for a maximum. We can see the previous ball sitting on the edge of the roof but this one has gone out of the ground! Bring out the box of balls again...19 from the over. 100 up for West Indies. The hosts need 135 runs in 180 balls to win the match and series.

Simi Singh to Shai Hope, OUT! LBW! It is umpire's call and Shai Hope has to depart. A big wicket for Ireland at this stage of the game. Flighted delivery on middle, Hope walks across and looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. You cannot be missing the ball if you walk that far across. The bowler appeals for lbw and the umpire raises his finger after a long thought. Shai Hope immediately takes the review. There is nothing on Ultra Edge. Ball Tracker shows that it is spinning down the leg side, just clipping the leg stump on its way. Umpire's call!

Boyd Rankin to Brandon King, OUT! CAUGHT! Three wickets in the span of 16 balls. For 7 runs. Rankin gets his name etched in the wickets column and West Indies are in deep trouble. On a good length and outside off, King looks to defend but is cut into half as the ball comes back in a long way. The ball goes off something towards the keeper and Lorcan Tucker takes the catch and appeals. The umpire raises his finger. King thinks for a while, goes towards Shai Hope who hurriedly comes towards him as well. It seems as if Hope is adamant that the review be taken but King does not take it. Eventually, the discussion leads to the decision getting timed out. Replays later on show that there was a clear inside edge on this one.

Barry McCarthy to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! CAUGHT! West Indies lose their second wicket in quick succession. Hetmyer goes cheaply again. Short delivery on leg, Hetmyer looks to pull but gets a top edge. Now, the keeper runs after it while fine leg keeps running in. But at the last moment, Lorcan Tucker with the gloves calls for it and takes it nicely. Once he calls, the fine leg fielder bails out. Never easy to take such high catches under lights.

Andy McBrine to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR! What a way to get going! Short and outside off, Hetmyer rocks back and cuts it behind point for a boundary!

Andy McBrine to Evin Lewis, OUT! CAUGHT! First breakthrough for Ireland and a big wicket too. Evin Lewis was not looking comfortable at all in the middle and has been relieved off his misery. Flighted delivery on leg, Lewis looks to sweep but gets a top edge. It goes towards short fine leg where Boyd Rankin dives forward and takes a good low catch. That is excellent fielding by the tall fast bowler. The hosts need 221 runs to win the match.
