Foulkes to Powell, out Caught by Conway!! This is excellent stuff by Foulkes. He has mixed it up nicely in this over and has a wicket as a reward. Banged in short and gets it to climb, Powell takes it on and gets a thin top-edge, the ball flies to Conway and he takes it over his head. Nice little cameo from Powell comes to an end. Two wickets in four balls as West Indies are losing a bit of steam. Powell c Conway b Foulkes 33(23) [4s-2 6s-2]

Foulkes to Powell, no run, direct hit and Powell was a goner.

Foulkes to Shai Hope, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Fifty and gone. Excellent response by Foulkes after being smashed for a six. He comes back with a cutter, the ball skids off the surface and beats Hope for pace, this was fraction short and Hope winds up for the pull, but the ball sneaks past his swinging blade and hits the top of leg-stump. The partnership has been broken and it is the set batter who departs. Shai Hope b Foulkes 53(39) [4s-4 6s-3]

Foulkes to Shai Hope, SIX, the partnership between Shai Hope and Roston Chase is now, fifty for Hope. He took his time to get going but has stepped on the accelerator in the last few overs. Chase walks across to shake hands. Length delivery, width on offer and Hope pumps it flat over wide long-off. He made full use of the width..
