BBC Test Match SpecialIt feels like South Africa are trying to build a platform and some confidence. You can't win the game in the powerplay really but you can lose it.

Target 144
I nearly fell off my chair when I saw Ravi Rampaul in the first T20. He's been around for so long!
He gets a delivery to nip back in to Reeza Hendricks, thwacking him on the pad, but it's too high to trouble the umpires.

Rassie van der Dussen is in at three, with Ravi Rampaul coming on to bowl.

Alex Hartley
England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialHe is six inches short of his ground and he didn't bring out the dive! South Africa didn't need to take that single at all. It was totally unnecessary.
That will lift West Indies and give them a bit more energy. The gift of a run out in a T20 puts you on top straight away.

Bavuma run out (Russell) 2 (SA 4-1)
Where was the dive?!
A brilliant throw from Andre Russell has splattered the stumps, and Temba Bavuma is out by some distance!

England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialThere was probably no need to take that single in the first over. Temba Bavuma isn't sure, he might think he's gone here.

Oh, he's gone!

BBC Test Match SpecialThis could be trouble. It was a risky one.
Umpire reviewpublished at 12:59 British Summer Time 26 October 2021
Left-armer Hosein wheels his way through a tidy over...
...now then! That's a wonderful throw from mid-off, and has Bavuma been run out?

England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialWest Indies fell away at the end of their innings and they will think they are 15 or 20 runs short and they will want a good start.

Target 144
Akeal Hosein has the ball in hand, and he's dabbed away for a single first up.

A bit more on Quinton de Kock's absence today...
Wicketkeeper De Kock made himself unavailable for South Africa after refusing to take the knee.
Cricket South Africa (CSA) issued a directive before the match that all players should make the gesture.
Captain Temba Bavuma said at the toss in Dubai that De Kock, 28, withdrew "for personal reasons".
CSA said later on Tuesday that would "await a further report from team management before deciding on next steps".

Thank you, Callum.
First, a bit of news from South Africa.

Can South Africa chase 144 and pick up their first win of this World Cup?
Here's Amy Lofthouse to talk you through their chase.

South Africa fought back really well though.
West Indies were 48-5 from their final five overs. That has led to a below-par score.

West Indies opener Evin Lewis was really good in making 56 off 35 balls today.
He gave his side a solid platform to build from but they failed to make the most of it really. Their middle-order power failed to fire again.

Carlos Brathwaite
West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialIt's not going to be an easy chase, but it's definitely less than what West Indies would've wanted after the start that Evin Lewis gave them.
