00:00trying to tie him up in terms of giving him absolutely no room to work with
00:06there's a first wicket here's an impact ball of Matthew Ford yeah you talk about
00:13the young man being impressive Ryan Rickleton he won't be impressed with that
00:17shot backed away that's a nice looking stroke from the captain got a little bit
00:25of width and he's so powerful square of the wicket on the back foot this sweep
00:33comes out executed quite well playing with the turn that's very very good from
00:41it mark room straight to the fielder in that middle position so the pressure of
00:52being proactive with his field placing working in favor of Matthew Ford at the
00:56West Indies who's the second field into the lakeside almost expecting him to hit
01:02it lakeside it Aidan Markram just sits in the surface yeah and that's an
01:06excellent catch and this will be a chance of first wicket for Joseph in
01:15this series that is very first delivery not the best of deliveries but they'll
01:20take it the West Indies have got three first ball in test match cricket first
01:26ball in this series leading edge and traveling all the way to deep third
01:32absolutely no mistake from Hakeem Hussain he's so good Tristan Stubbs
01:39slowly approaching one of the most innovative players in the world for
01:44shots like that was there a feather on it they're celebrating and the fingers
01:52raised Joseph again golden arm his second over remember he took a wicked
01:58first ball of his first over again similar lined delivery this time another
02:05feather through really nicely timed and that is his potential that he's shown at
02:15different stages of his short career so far
02:22straight to the fielder and that familiarity Hussain gets Ferreira again
02:30the excellent bit of captaincy from Ruffman Powell Ferreira trying to
02:35deliberately go over the fielder over the infield but not enough elevation and
02:41the other left-hand orthodox Gunakesh Moti makes absolutely no mistake looking
02:50to see if he can get something moving and it does go out towards the bigger
02:53side and there is enough on it from Kruger he still has a look at the bottom
02:58of the bet
03:02pumped down to long on and on to the roof that's a massive hit from Tristan
03:09Stubbs they're turning it on Stacy and King that's in the gap precision from
03:19Kruger and they will find an early boundary in the over
03:25pumped in front of square he was setting himself for a yet another slow delivery
03:32and he was ready for it on this occasion Sheppard edge and there will be another
03:40boundary which will mark the 50 partnership between these two 53 to be
03:45exact after 1495 for five in the gap doesn't stop it
03:57Gunakesh Moti running around brings up the hundred for South Africa so not a
04:02boundary less over from Shemar Joseph 103 for five after 15 innovation from
04:10Tristan Stubbs that's a shot we've seen from him very often executed to
04:17perfection on this occasion and he strikes again brilliant from Matthew
04:25Ford he's having an outstanding game
04:29yeah you can hear it yeah you can do absolutely no wrong Matthew Ford into
04:35the attack he's kept the needed wickets and he has got the big man just a high
04:46class shot from Tristan Stubbs he soaked up some pressure while Kruger was going
04:54at the other end it's his chance now to accelerate that's hit the bat that bat
05:02and hit the gap quite nicely back-to-back force miss field and that's
05:14where Stubbs was aiming to give himself room to hit it through extra cover or
05:19over he's just such a good player he's a wonderful player in the making his
05:30second t20 international half-century six and 17 off the over Tristan Stubbs
05:4559 149 for six oh no and that sneaked over the boundary Akil Hussain and that
05:57went to his strong hand and another no ball my goodness there's a ramp shot
06:05might be on oh that's for it ricocheted off Romario Shepherd and still enough
06:15power on it to get before always a risk with the short fine leg in play this is
06:27some exhibition of batting from Tristan Stubbs 70 now from 40 Wow that is some
06:39muscle that is cleared that 74 meter bow and be the end of him but it has been a
06:50very impactful innings yeah we have cried out for pace being taken off on
06:58this surface
07:05youngest ever time for South Africa
07:11and from 42 for 5 South Africa ended 174 for 7 this time plays the conventional
07:21one and it's a maximum into the smaller boundary as well
07:27that's one of his strengths that is extremely good from Shea Hall top class
07:40well-controlled shots from Shea hope understanding where backwards fair was
07:48able to find a boundary Weston he's going in confidence 34 for 9
07:54Andre Booger it well enough even into the big side of the ground I don't think
08:03it came off from that indication they are the absolute middle of the bat but
08:08it's travel for six nice he got the width and the deep third had actually
08:18gone wider as opposed to being an orthodox deep third position smart from
08:24Alicante's and after they sweeps himself to another boundary
08:37yes and it's proving expensive here as well nice lovely ball striking from
08:44Shale
08:54a little blooper that should have been stopped
09:03that looks as though it has distance on it this has been a magnificent power
09:08play 75 without loss
09:16yep not a strong down that area you see that's good good length and the opening
09:22partnership is finally broken by O'Neill Batman spoke earlier about his
09:27coin areas and this wasn't one of them hitting down the track didn't quite get
09:32the elevation he wanted and an easy catch for Hayden Markham over the wall
09:44and that is the sheer power of Nicholas for and he doesn't miss out on his
09:48match-up and that is glorious middle up easy pickings for Nicholas for an
10:03attempted pace off he has crunched that back to back sixes pressure on this is
10:14majestic t20 passing from the best in the world three sixes in the over nicely
10:26done by share hope he's been going at a good strike rate he's got a half century
10:32and it's his fourth in the format
10:36135 on target he is has that not slipped down the leg side Gregory
10:44Brathwaite says no he's happy but the review has happened straight away
10:51here comes ball tracking original decision out pitching in line impact in
10:55line wickets umpires call I'm ready to go about on people Greg Greg you can
11:01stay with your out decision you're on screen signal now this is on the path
11:07runs continuing with the shorter length is my part of a strain a little bit
11:14leg side onto it so quickly he picks up the length early and it's sails over the
11:24boundary road
11:27wonderful bedding from Nicholas Florent takes him to a half-century six sixes in
11:33the innings was very very full can't quite get under it but he can place it
11:40well enough
11:45that deserves our own applause but he generates so much power with those quick
11:53that is correct yeah the change in feel prior to that delivery sort of
12:02telegraphed the line he's got a wicket first international wicket for Quaynham
12:11Apaka and he's ice-cold yeah absolutely brilliant for the young man he's not
12:19giving up the fight he's hung in there and that is what it means to the young
12:23man and that should be the winning touch
12:30hope the bats of Ruston chase but Nicholas Brown will take many or much of
12:37the plotted but don't forget how Matthew Ford and company set this up with the
12:42ball after a wonderful recovery by that guy stops beyond 14 and Kruger but the
12:51West Indies achieve their highest successful run chase in the Caribbean
12:56for seven years their second highest in the Caribbean overall a win here by
13:02seven wickets in Taruba in South Trinidad at the Brown Lara Cricket
