    Johnson Charles to face Alei Nao - and he's got him lbw! Or has he - they are reviewing this.

  2. WI 8-0published at 1 over

    Rain in the Caribbean, is there no end to this year's weather? That's more like it, Brandon King this time takes a few steps and then chips the ball easily over the bowler's head for four. West Indies off the mark.

    Keeper Kiplin Doriga then comes up to the stumps and King leathers the next short ball to the deep square fence.

    The rain is falling and the groundstaff are there ready to come on.

    Brandon King then charges down the track and takes a mighty swing - and a miss. An ugly shot!

    Kabua Morea opens the bowling for Papua New Guinea, bustling in with some left-arm seam. Brandon King takes a cautious approach to the first few balls.

    Brandon King and Johnson Charles are the openers who will be looking to get off to a flier.

    Here come the Windies openers. The weather looks fine, if a bit cloudy over one of the stands. It's certainly windy out there.

    Is that, is that some rain?!

    A few umbrellas are going up in the stands. Doesn't look like proper rain just yet though.

    Andre Russell mixed it up during his three overs - he saw off Charles Amini with this tickle through to the keeper.

    Bao couldn't quite see his way through to the end of the innings - here's how Alzarri Joseph saw him off.

    Sese Bao came in and picked up a very impressive half century, including this magnificent hit for six. His 50 from 43 balls could yet prove crucial.

    This was a cracking catch from Roston Chase to see off skipper Assad Vala, who was looking solid at the crease.

    Cheers Jonty!

    Stand by for some big swinging from the Windies. Favourites from here?

    So Papua New Guinea reach half way by setting West Indies a chase of 137 runs.

    Before play started, they may well have taken that, especially when dropping to both 7-2 and 50-4.

    But can Papua New Guinea pick up a shock result against one of the World Cup's co-hosts?

    Tom Rostance will be taking you through this second innings chase.

    West Indies started sharp but if they feel like they can't knock this total off they are in the wrong competition. It was a bitty performance.

    It was gritty from Papua New Guinea. They can show a little bit of confidence with the ball now but Brandon King and Johnson Charles will go hard at them. They've acquitted themselves well so far.

    West Indies will feel that is perfectly within their capabilities but Papua New Guinea have worked hard to get some sort of score together.

    Breaking

    Helped by the power hitting of Doriga at the end, who finishes 27 not out, Papua New Guinea end their 20 overs on 136-8.

    Coming back from 7-2 and 50-4, that is a really good effort from Papua New Guinea later in the innings.

    A big factor was the batting of Sese Bau, bringing up 50 before being bowled by Alzarri Joseph.

    Nao run out (Joseph) 0 (PNG 130-8)

    Doriga didn't get enough of that. He hit and ran a quick single, Nao didn't get through quick enough and it is an easy run out for Joseph, who dismisses non-striker Nao without him facing a ball.

  20. PNG 130-7published at 19.2 overs

    Back-to-back fours from Doriga!

    First a cover drive uses Shepherd's pace to full effect, before going one better with a jump cut towards the third man boundary.

    He is on 24 off 16 and looking good.
