Bumrah to Justin Greaves, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! That's classic Bumrah. Warrican managed to keep the yorker out but not Greaves. Mind you, it has gone gloomy in the last few minutes and the floodlights are on. But that's no excuse for Greaves. This is a pinpoint yorker, aimed for the base of off-stump and Greaves is beaten for pace, the ball sneaks under the bat and flattens the off-pole. Greaves' resistance comes to an end. West Indies 8 down and just 150 on the board. Justin Greaves b Bumrah 32(48) [4s-4]
