There's definitely some extra media members here tonight in Barbados that weren't here in Dallas at the start of the tournament. Just from the media box alone, there have been more eyeballs on this World Cup as it has progressed.

Not ideal, Steve, but it sounds like there may be at least a bit more coverage of tonight's game...

Steve Tredup: I'm in Seattle & although there have been some small news stories, 99% of Americans have no idea it is going on. Even if they did, there is no cricket on free TV & very limited specialized streaming services. Even if you were interested, there is no real way to watch.

Nitish Kumar misses out on a short, wide ball to end the over as Akeal Hosein comes back well.

Just three singles from the five balls following the boundary.

This is not a bad ball, on fourth stump and a good length, but Gous is just better and times it exquisitely.

The boundaries are flowing now.

It's Andries Gous' turn as he sends Akeal Hosein through point with a well-timed stroke off the front foot.

Nitish Kumar is stepping up in a big way. Two boundaries in the over and ironically, he failed to score off the worst ball in that last over.

Good over for the USA to really get the innings up and running after a slow start.

Obed McCoy forces a play and miss from the last but his first over still cost 12.

Kumar beat McCoy to the punch. Beautifully timed.

Nitish Kumar is seeing the ball like a grapefruit on this Friday night in Barbados.

Nitish Kumar beat McCoy to the punch. Beautifully timed.

Nitish has a point to prove tonight. He was there in the end against Pakistan in the 20th over and almost stuffed up that match and he has been scratching around ever since.

Consider the pressure relieved!

Nitish Kumar gets the second boundary of the over with a dismissive shot over mid-wicket.

Top shot!

The recalled Obed McCoy is into the attack and Nitish Kumar backs away to his second delivery, giving himself room to loft the ball over extra cover for four.

Andries Gous is much more of a front-foot player. After the knock he had against South Africa, he is brimming with confidence.

What initially appears to be sloppy fielding in the covers turns out to be the fielder being done by the ball turning very sharply away from him.

A bonus run for the USA in any case.

Just three singles from Akeal Hosein's second over as the pressure builds on the United States.

Nitish Kumar doesn't have Caribbean roots, born in Toronto, but he has played here for the St Lucia Stars.

Nitish Kumar is in at three for the US and gets off the mark first ball with two through point.

It's another good over for West Indies but it ends with a boundary, guided square on the off side by Andries Gous. Lovely timing.

That's the story of Steven Taylor's career. Somebody who has so much promise but gets out in the arc around point so often.

If that was a few metres either side of that, it was a good shot. A difficult one to hold on, but an outstanding way to get Taylor out.
