  1. Chris Gayle and Shai Hope are out to open the WIndies innings. It shall be Mohammad Amir to bowl first.

  2. WI 0-0

    What are we saying here then? Knocked off inside 10 overs?

    15?

  3. The Pakistan side are back out on the field. Play is about to get going once more.

  4. It wasn't all bad.

  5. The modern-day innings

    You can fit every ball of the Pakistan innings in a single tweet...

  6. I suppose the good news for Pakistan is that the marathon nature of this format means that they can shake off a thumping first up and still be in the mix to qualify. Probably.

    They will have another eight games. Mind you, they've lost 10 in a row as it stands...

    Re Curtly my son tried to get his autograph many years ago at Worcester. Curtly ignored him. I think just because he was only about six and so small he didn't see him.

    Must be the case.

    I grew up in Northampton and used to see Curtly knocking about a fair bit. An absolute legend!

  8. This gives you a flavour of the Pakistan innings.

    They went from 74-4 to 105 all out in 34 balls.

  9. It's as good as advertised.

  10. Curtly Ambrose is currently talking about his appearance on the Aussie version of Strictly. He is 6ft 8ins and his dance partner was 5ft 4ins tall.

    I feel this may have to be researched!

  11. Pakistan's total of 105 is their lowest in an ODI innings since January 2018, when they posted 74 against New Zealand in Dunedin.

    Here's how Mohammad Hafeez said farewell.

    Former West Indies bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I don't like to draw comparisons with sides from the past but they looked the part out there. Chris Gayle isn't the sort of player to mess about so I expect West Indies to knock these off in no time at all.

  14. Banged in short, smashed up in the air, out.

    And repeat.

    And repeat.

    And repeat...

  15. How's stat?!

  16. If you're just dialling in on your lunch hour to see how the lads are getting on - Pakistan have been utterly skittled.

    Some very bad shots and some very good bouncers have seen them demolished.

  17. From the press box

  18. Afternoon everyone!

    This could be the shortest shift of my BBC Sport career. Fantastic stuff.

    West Indies need just over two an over. Chris Gayle may get them all on his own...

  19. Right. I think I need a minute to process all that.

    Tom Rostance will take you through however long West Indies' reply lasts for.

  20. Graeme Swann
    Ex-England spinner on TMS

    The West Indies' approach is brilliant, it's unexpected. To run up and hit a barrage of short-pitched bowling, nobody does that anymore. At armpit height it's so hard to play.

    If you're skillful enough to bowl four or five of those an over they will take them on.
