"You have to take your hat off to Andrew McBrine. Ten overs, 0-26, that's fantastic bowling. He's done a real job for his captain."

Metronomic McBrine continues, just 21, and three singles are all that he concedes. He has completed remarkable figures of 0-26 from his 10 overs against this collection of West Indian cavaliers.

Garry MacDonald
Former Canterbury spinner and coach on BBC Test Match Special"The two West Indian boys get a couple of singles just to get a bit of momentum going. But what they have to ask themselves now is, how long before they put the hammer down?"
WI 110-5 (Dockrell 3-32)published at 23:58 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015
Many thanks, well we've had a variety of musical interludes between overs, the latest is Monkees classic Daydream Believer and there could be a few more believing in another famous Ireland victory. McBrine has conceded only two fours in his nine overs and it's all a bit betwixt and between for the Windies with so little left in the hutch.

Dockrell rattles through another set. A single apiece for Sammy and Simmons. With that, I leave you in the capable hands of Jamie Lillywhite.

The Ireland spinners have got West Indies pinned down like beetles in an entomologist's display case at the moment. Just two singles from another tight over from Andy McBrine.

Lendl Simmons, resigning himself to the face that he won't be getting any pace to work with today, exchanges his helmet for a cap. Dockrell now has the lowest average of any slow left-arm bowler with 50 wickets in ODI history, incidentally. One from his latest set.

WI 101-5published at 23:47 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015
An inability to deal in singles and turn the strike over has been a feature of this West Indies innings so far, and again the batsmen struggle to get McBrine away, picking up just two from his latest over.

A shimmy from Sammy as he dances down the wicket and lofts an absolutely glorious drive miles over the long-off boundary. Phwoar. Plenty for Ireland still to be wary of.

The West Indies are on the ropes, soaking up bodyshots - can Ireland deliver the knockout blow? The Windies' trial by spin continues as Andy McBrine returns with his slow tweak, and keeps the batsmen to three singles.
WI 90-5 (Simmons 8, Sammy 3)published at 23:37 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015
Darren Sammy is the new batsman for the West Indies - he'll have plenty to prove after losing the captaincy to Jason Holder, and he can hit the ball a mile. But he may have to rein in his aggressive instincts for the time being. He's off the mark with three to third man.
