    Nith from Amersham: Talk about taking responsibility, Captain Holder has held this team on his shoulders after all the drama at the start of the tournament.

    The rain clouds are heading towards Napier on the North Island of New Zealand, according to the TMS commentators. That's not good news for the West Indies who will be keen to wrap this match up and then dash back to the hotel to watch the Ireland v Pakistan match. Remember, that game will decide their quarter-final fate.

    However, Amjad Javed is determined to make a fight of this. The UAE batsman leans back, gets over the ball and drills a square cut to the rope for four. But he can't add any more damage to Kemar Roach's figures in the next four balls.

    Philip Dainty: Hope KP signs for Leicestershire then can Watch him at start of summer. Hope he gets plenty of runs and get back in England side.

    Relief for Nasir Aziz - he survives. Replays show the ball does just hit the turf before landing in Darren Sammy's grasp. West Indies skipper Jason Holder must wait for that five-fer...

    Is this more bad news for the UAE? Nasir Aziz nicks one to second slip and Darren Sammy gathers - but did it bounce just in front of him? Time to find out...

    Reggae legend Bob Marley's classic Three Little Birds booms out of the Napier sound system at the end of Kemar Roach's second over.

    "Don't worry, about a thing, everything is going to be alright," sings Bob. Try telling that to the UAE side...

    Nasir Aziz picks up two runs from the over, largely thanks to a misfield rather than the quality of his batting.

    If I was a UAE batsman I don't think I would be leaving the safety of the pavilion. The next man to face the fearsome West Indies attack is Nasir Aziz. He survives the final delivery of Jason Holding's over. His bowling figures? 7-1-16-4.

    "Not enough defence there really. A lazy shot and a big gaping hole between bat and pad. They had just hung in there for two or three overs but that's disappointing."

    I'm not sure that Patil and Javed's efforts could be described as a revival - but whatever it was it is all over. Patil is the man to walk, hanging his head as he trots off. The UAE batsman's defence is non-existent as another wicked delivery from Jason Holder whips through to dismantle the stumps.

    Dr Neil Matthews: A disruptive influence and waning talent. KP should be left to a mercenary twilight of a career.

    "Kemar Roach needs one wicket to reach 100 in ODIs. If he reaches it in this match, his 67th, he will be the joint third quickest West Indian to the mark with Joel Garner. Curtly Ambrose and Ian Bishop both took 61 matches."

    There is only a sparse crowd in Napier, but those there - particularly the West Indian contingent - are making a racket. The Caribbean fans wave their flags and loudly cheer when the name of Kemar Roach is announced as the new bowler.

    Roach, with a thick chunk of gold hanging around his neck like Curtly Ambrose, sprints up to the wicket throwing down missile after missile. The UAE batsmen have little response, picking up just the one leg bye and one wide.

    Javed and Patil start to find a little bit of rhythm as they aim to inject some stability. Javed flicks one over to the leg side for a quick single, then Patil steps back to hook one towards deep fine leg for a double. Time for a bowling change...

    Hang on! Amjad Javal is not going without a fight. The UAE batsman smashes Jerome Taylor over long - and over the boundary for six.

    Relief for the batting side - Javal's boundary means they have edged past the lowest score in a World Cup. That ignominy falls to Canada, who mustered just 36 against Sri Lanka in 2003.

    To reiterate, the West Indies must win today to stand any chance of reaching the last eight. And even then it might not be enough depending on the result between Ireland and Pakistan later on.

    So far they are doing their part of the bargain in style. Jason Holder batters down half a dozen deliveries, to which the UAE batsman struggle to stick any wood on the ball.

    Tim in Manchester: Would love to see KP at Lancashire. I think he could work well with Giles, and has a Old Trafford pitch which would suit him down to the ground.

    These UAE batsmen are arriving quicker than Tube trains at Oxford Circus. Amjad Javed is the latest man to try to offer some resistance, defending the first delivery before having a go at the next three. He pushes the penultimate delivery of the over for a pair, before nicking a quick single on the last.

    "It has been tricky for the UAE and I think this would have been their worst fear. It's been a long tournament and they may have been feeling deflated before this and they will be feeling even worse now."
