9.10amHello everyone - good morning if you're in Canada, good afternoon if you're in Kenya, and good [fill in as appropriate] wherever you are in the rest of the world. Welcome along to coverage of the first Group C match between Canada and Kenya.

I'm Jenny Thompson and will be joined at some point by the tireless Martin Williamson, whose preview you can be perusing here.

We expect this match to be a tight tussle to the wire, but stay with us to see how it pans out. We will of course be bringing you the toss, team news and pitch report as soon as we've got them.

We do know that yesterday the St Lucia pitch was hard and even-paced, while there is the chance of some showers during the latter part of the day, but we'll try to confirm these things for you soonest.

Something to watch out for, by the way - if he plays today, Anderson Cummins will become only the second player to represent two countries in the World Cup when he steps out for Canada; his second life beginning at 40. Cummins previously represented West Indies of course but will now play for Canada, although he's been strictly average in his appearances for the country to date - then again, his comeback came 11 years after hanging up his West Indian boots. (Kepler Wessels was the first, of course, playing for South Africa and Australia)

9.20am And Cummins plays! Here is Canada's team: 1 Geoff Barnett, 2 Abdool Samad, 3 Ashish Bagai (wk), 4 Ian Billcliff, 5 John Davison (capt), 6 Ashif Mulla, 7 Sunil Dhaniram, 8 George Codrington, 9 Umar Bhatti, 10 Anderson Cummins, 11 Henry Osinde.

Kenya's XI are: 1 Maurice Ouma (wk), 2 David Obuya, 3 Ravi Shah, 4 Steve Tikolo (capt), 5 Tanmay Mishra, 6 Nehemiah Odhiambo, 7 Thomas Odoyo, 8 Collins Obuya, 9 Peter Ongondo, 10 Lameck Onyango, 11 Hiren Varaiya.

Steve Tikolo has sent Canada in on a beautiful day. "There is some moisture in it" explained Tikolo, playing in his fourth World Cup, "and we are looking to use that to our advantage. It will probably get better as the day goes on. I think we are in for a good game."

9.30am The umpires Asad Rauf and Peter Parker, in fetching mustard shirts, make their way into the middle. A good crowd are in for this game - Canada flags around, there. Michael Atherton is surprised Kenya have sent Canada in on what looks to be a pretty dry pitch - we'll soon find out whether Tikolo's decision was a good one as here come Canada's openers Geoff Barnett and Abdool Samad.

It will be Thomas Odoyo to open the bowling.

Teething problems in the live scoring department I'm afraid - a tidy enough first over from Odoyo, but a stray loose ball allowed Samad to get off the mark with a four. Peter Ongondo at the other end now, and he opens up with a no-ball.

Sorry about this - bear with us - Canada have made a steady start, 7 for 0 from their first two overs. Ongondo started waywardly, with a no-ball and a wide, but soon found his rhythm.

Just one run from the third over, Odoyo bowling well here, finding lots of swing. The technical gremlins are still at their evil best (or worst) so please have patience in the meanwhile... Thank you!

Not much pace in this pitch, the batsmen finding most problems with the swing rather than anything else...

Still with us?! Good, good. Canada have crept up to 12 without loss from 4 overs, now, with a juicy flick for four off that last over, which was otherwise tidy.

5th over A maiden over from Odoyo - ending with a half-shout for lbw, that looked good on HawkEye, the ball pitching in line and straightening and hitting half-way up middle stump. Ongondo will continue with the sixth over.

End of over 6, Canada are now 17 for 0 after an expansive cover-drive from Barnett, who's finally opened up

0.1

Odoyo to Barnett, no run, a good start from Odoyo, angling that over the wicket across the lefthander who shoulders arms early

0.2

Odoyo to Barnett, no run, defended this time

0.3

Odoyo to Barnett, 1 run, on the money, the batsman comes forward to press that into short midwicket - Samad would have gone with a direct hit, but the throw was over the stumps

0.4

Odoyo to Samad, no run, stays over the wicket to the righthander, sensibly enough, and finds a hint of swing away from him

0.5

Odoyo to Samad, FOUR, strays down leg and that's glanced very fine for a straightforward four

0.6

Odoyo to Samad, no run, steps forward, a hint of away swing, and that's defended easily enough into the covers

1.1

Ongondo to Barnett, 1 no ball, overstepping with the effort there, but there was a hint of movement away from the batsman

1.1

Ongondo to Barnett, 1 wide, a wide this time, oops. A nervous start from Ongondo, and that wasn't even in the tramlines. Time to settle in, yet, though

Two slips in place

1.1

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, better - straighter and the batsman can only shoulder arms as that flies through on a good length to the keeper

1.2

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, ooh! Great ball, half an appeal, but the bat just brushed the pad

1.3

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, defended forward this time

1.4

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, outside off and that flies through to the keeper

1.5

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, on the money, the batsman looks to play that into the on-side, dropping his hands down into the shot, but his top hand flies up off the bat with the impact

1.6

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, worked into the leg-side again for no run

2.1

Odoyo to Samad, no run, plenty of swing in the air again for Odoyo, who leaves that one alone; good decision, not worth chasing that one

2.2

Odoyo to Samad, no run, on the money - that's pressed into the leg-side

2.3

Odoyo to Samad, no run, a half-shout for lbw but Parker's head is shaking pretty much as soon as the ball rapped the pad

2.4

Odoyo to Samad, no run, places that on a good length and it's defended into the covers. Good bowling from Odoyo, giving nothing away so far this over

2.5

Odoyo to Samad, no run, ooh! Late movement away there for Odoyo for one which was already quite wide, went wider, and had the batsman feeling for it. Nearly

2.6

Odoyo to Samad, 1 run, a touch straighter results in a thickish outside edge, the batsman playing with the awayswing

3.1

Ongondo to Samad, no run, defended forward, the ball not getting up very much on this pitch which is lacking pace

3.2

Ongondo to Samad, no run, defended into the covers

3.3

Ongondo to Samad, no run, more defence and the batsman rehearses his fresh-air shot

3.4

Ongondo to Samad, no run, oh! Great ball, cutting back in off the seam and surprising the batsman as it raps into his pads

3.5

Ongondo to Samad, FOUR, first aggressive stroke of the innings, the ball just straying onto the leg-side, and that's picked well off middle-and-leg, as it's clipped behind square

3.6

Ongondo to Samad, no run, oh, great response, that's the ball, tempting the batsman - like an ice-cream seller when you're on a diet - to have a lick. He's tempted sure enough, but soon regrets his haste - still he misses and lives to fight another day

4.1

Odoyo to Barnett, no run, more defensiveness from the batsman

4.2

Odoyo to Barnett, no run, yet again more defence

4.3

Odoyo to Barnett, no run, and some more defence

4.4

Odoyo to Barnett, no run, the lefthander comes forward to try to work that into the leg-side, fails to get hold of it, and that's defended

4.5

Odoyo to Barnett, no run, bends over that one in leaning it into the leg-side

4.6

Odoyo to Barnett, no run, a maiden over from Odoyo - ending with a half-shout for lbw, that looked good on HawkEye, the ball pitching in line and straightening and hitting half-way up middle stump

5.1

Ongondo to Samad, 1 run, steered down to third man

5.2

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, driven to a slightly wide mid-on

5.3

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, defended forward this time

5.4

Ongondo to Barnett, FOUR, expansive over-the-top cover-drive finally gets some impetus into his innings

5.5

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, pushed right up there and that's defended

5.6

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, right up there again and that's driven straight to mid-on

6.1

Odoyo to Samad, 1 run, inside edge down to third man

6.2

Odoyo to Barnett, no run, driven down to mid-on, not quite off the middle

6.3

Odoyo to Barnett, no run, defended

6.4

Odoyo to Barnett, no run, hits a good channel again and Barnett finished outside off stump

6.5

Odoyo to Barnett, 1 run

6.6

Odoyo to Samad, no run, back of a length, Samad come across and plays with the thick outside half of the bat out to point

7.1

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, round the wicket now ooh, that one seems to stop slightly in the pitch and Barnett nearly spoons it to the man at short, straight midwicket

7.2

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, this one holds its line from round the wicket and Barnett nearly pushes at it as it straightens

7.3

Ongondo to Barnett, FOUR, connects powerfully, frees his arms and launches over square cover for a welcome boundary

7.4

Ongondo to Barnett, 1 no ball, overstepping with the effort, there. Slightly fuller and closer to off stump, Barnett comes forward and plays back to the bowler

7.4

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, drives, but without any footwork and the ball flies off the inside half of the bat out to square leg

7.5

Ongondo to Barnett, 2 leg byes, glanced away off the pads

7.6

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, defended back down the pitch

And we're back up straight! Sorry about that - thanks for your patience with us.

8.1

Odoyo to Samad, no run, defended

8.2

Odoyo to Samad, no run, more defence, coming forward to trap that one down into the ground

8.3

Odoyo to Samad, 1 no ball, oh! Nearly very exciting... but wouldn't have mattered anyway as that's a big no-ball. Still, there was a very nice shape to that ball and that had the batsman chasing it

8.3

Odoyo to Samad, no run, on the money, with a hint of swing, what else can you do with that ... except defend, as he does

8.4

Odoyo to Samad, (no ball) FOUR, width on that one, and that's hammered away through the covers with a flourish of a drive. Nice work

8.4

Odoyo to Samad, no run, driven straight to cover

8.5

Odoyo to Samad, no run, places that on a good length, it deviates cheekily, saying to the batsman, "Chase me" - but, to his credit, he doesn't

8.6

Odoyo to Samad, no run, ah! Play and a miss this time, over in the blink of an eye. Fishing outside off

Meanwhile over in St Kitts, Australia have made a predictably strong start against Scotland, racing to 52 for 0 after 7 overs

9.1

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, hands fly up off the bat

9.2

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, driven to mid-on

9.3

Ongondo to Barnett, FOUR, souped over midwicket, picking up the length early, and with great hand/eye co-ordination he rocks on the front foot and plants that through the leg-side

9.4

Ongondo to Barnett, FOUR, edged away through third man, streakily enough

9.5

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, pushes that right up there, but checks the shot

9.6

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, defended forward and that's the first Powerplay over and done with

Hmm, Steve Tikolo's decision to bowl first not looking brilliant - although a few quick wickets (helped by the swing?) could change the complexion of course.

Whirl, whirl, whirl - it's the second Powerplay

10.1

Odoyo to Samad, no run, defended into the covers

10.2

Odoyo to Samad, no run, defended forward

10.3

Odoyo to Samad, OUT, short, wide and that's gone! That's a disappointing end to Samad's innings, cutting straight to backward point for a catch that can only be described as regulation

AM Samad c Tikolo b Odoyo 15 (46m 29b 3x4 0x6) SR: 51.72

Samad had been playing himself in nicely then, but now the momentum has been instantly punctured. Ashish Bagai strides in

10.4

Odoyo to Bagai, no run, defended forward

10.5

Odoyo to Bagai, 3 runs, nicely timed back foot push through the covers to get off the mark but it's chased down by a pair of fielders just inside the boundary

10.6

Odoyo to Barnett, 1 run, strays on to leg and that's nudged into the midwicket region

My ex-colleague Andy Berks must be missing us - he's just asked for a shout-out to him and his new orange-uniformed chums at EasyJet. Go on, then, just this once. My non-splitter colleague of an Andrew, Mr Hall, meanwhile, has asked me to plug Cricinfo 3d and the new toolbar so while I'm feeling generous...

Change of bowling - Nehemiah Odhiambo (worth 234 points in Scrabble) comes on

11.1

Odhiambo to Barnett, no run, defended first up

11.2

Odhiambo to Barnett, 1 run, ... and he nearly gets a wicket second ball - Barnett not knowing where that leading edge had gone - over the slips in fact

11.3

Odhiambo to Bagai, 1 wide, down the off-side - no doubt that was wide, there

Odhiambo bouncing back to his mark - he looks like he's enjoying himself out there, even despite the wide

11.3

Odhiambo to Bagai, FOUR, not a great ball, and not great fielding - diving inside the long-on boundary from that on-drive. Canada's fifty comes up

11.4

Odhiambo to Bagai, no run, right up there and defended

11.5

Odhiambo to Bagai, no run, on the money and that's pushed off the backfoot into the covers

11.6

Odhiambo to Bagai, no run, cut off the back foot straight to the man at backward point

12.1

Ongondo to Barnett, 1 run, hit aerially to fine leg and the batsman watched anxiously in case he was caught - but the ball fell safe

12.2

Ongondo to Bagai, no run, defended into the covers. A run, perhaps? "No!"

12.3

Ongondo to Bagai, no run, driven slowly to the off-side

12.4

Ongondo to Bagai, no run, worked into the covers this time

12.5

Ongondo to Bagai, no run, defended this time

12.6

Ongondo to Bagai, 1 no ball, oh, great ball - ah, a no-ball - still, that was a play and a miss, and that will encourage the bowler

12.6

Ongondo to Bagai, no run, a big stride forward to defend

13.1

Odhiambo to Barnett, FOUR, punched down the ground - there's no need to run for that

13.2

Odhiambo to Barnett, FOUR, eased down through third man, opening the blade, which resulted in a controlled outside edge

The momentum is starting to build with Canada

13.3

Odhiambo to Barnett, FOUR, that won't win the "Pretty shot of the year" award, an ill-timed pull, however a four's a four - that's three in succession - and that races away behind square

13.4

Odhiambo to Barnett, no run, oh, a touch of swing there

13.5

Odhiambo to Barnett, FOUR, much better timing and another four - this time clipped away well off the toes and that races behind backward square; nothing wrong with that shot at all

13.6

Odhiambo to Barnett, FOUR, scorching over closes with another boundary, this time a rocket of a straight drive through mid-off

Quality over from Canada's perspective - 20 off it, with five (mainly) crisp fours.

"Well folks," begins Andrew Looney Tunes McGlashan, "it looks like there has been a bit of confusion over the Canada team. Most sources early on had George Codrington in the XI but it now appears Qaiser Ali was included. Sorry about that." Indeed.

14.1

Ongondo to Bagai, 1 run, played off the back foot through point

14.2

Ongondo to Barnett, no run, thinks about swivel-pulling that off the back foot, and plays the shot without much power

14.3

Ongondo to Barnett, OUT, what a catch! What a catch. One of those you never want to be under - the ball was hit high - and higher - downwind from a mistimed pull. Mishra takes his time to have a quick glance to see where the rope is, takes a few steps back, and allows himself six or seven inches inside the rope, taking the ball at head height, palms upwards

GEF Barnett c Mishra b Ongondo 41 (65m 50b 9x4 0x6) SR: 82.00

The fireworks have fizzled, then. Barnett took his time to play himself in, was electric, and then imploded. Here's Ian Billcliff, who knows a thing or two about hitting... or at least it will be, because that's drinks for the moment.

Poor former staffer Berksy, meanwhile - one of his (wisely unnamed) Easyjet colleagues replies: "You can have Andy Berks back if you like!"

14.4

Ongondo to Bagai, no run, a hint of swing away and that's left alone first up

14.5

Ongondo to Bagai, 2 runs, short, a touch of width, and Billcliff's quickly on to that one, crashing it away off the back foot through point

14.6

Ongondo to Bagai, 1 run, shorter, still wide, and that's dinked behind point off the back foot

Unsurprisingly the final Powerplay will be taken now, but perhaps more surprisingly is the introduction of spin: it's Hiren Varaiya

15.1

Varaiya to Bagai, FOUR, not the best start - drops that one short, wide, and on this slow surface the ball sits up and requests, nay begs, to be smacked through cover and Bagai duly obliges

15.2

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, better, much better, fuller and that's defended quietly

15.3

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, loop this time, and full; that's well bowled again

15.4

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, defended off the back foot into the covers

15.5

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, more defence

15.6

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, on the money, defended

16.1

Ongondo to Billcliff, no run, oooh, that nips off the seam away from the batsman who nibbles at it, but his bat bites fresh air

16.2

Ongondo to Billcliff, no run, defended this time

16.3

Ongondo to Billcliff, no run, left alone

16.4

Ongondo to Billcliff, 1 wide, left alone again

16.4

Ongondo to Billcliff, no run, defended this time

16.5

Ongondo to Billcliff, no run, oh, that one didn't carry - a big edge to second slip. Tikolo immediately makes a motion to say the ball bounced

16.6

Ongondo to Billcliff, no run, a play and a miss there

Some good bowling by Ongondo here

17.1

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, on the money - well he is a trainee accountant - and only defence will do

17.2

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, on the spot and the batsman shoulders arms, allowing the ball to rush on to the keeper - well judged

17.3

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, defended to gully off the back foot

17.4

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, dabbed to point

17.5

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, walks into the shot, looking to on-drive, but doesn't quite time the ball

17.6

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, stabs the ball into the ground after failing to move his feet in a cut shot

18.1

Odhiambo to Billcliff, no run, walks forward to defend on the front foot, standing tall

18.2

Odhiambo to Billcliff, no run, short, wide and that keeps low, allowing Billcliff the chance to cut that forcefully to point; he misses out, though, crashing it down into the ground and straight to the fielder

18.3

Odhiambo to Billcliff, 2 runs, plays that one off the toes behind square

18.4

Odhiambo to Billcliff, no run, on leg stump and there's an ambitious shout for Parker, who is unmoved other than to shake his head - that was easily going down the leg-side

18.5

Odhiambo to Billcliff, 1 no ball, oversteps with the effort

18.5

Odhiambo to Billcliff, no run, comes forward to defend, pushing that one into the covers

18.6

Odhiambo to Billcliff, FOUR, a touch too full and Billcliff times that exquisitely very straight, just to say on the on-side

19.1

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, on the money and that's defended forward

19.2

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, defended forward again

19.3

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, on the dot, and that's defended

19.4

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, more defence again

19.5

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, tidy bowling, giving nothing away

19.6

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, "wait" is the wise decision as the end of the Powerplays is brought up with a tickle to gully

Jimmy Kamande comes on to bowl. Yes, that's true - we were given the wrong team, so he was in the starting XI and therefore can bowl! This means, for some reason, scoring will be delayed, but bear with us

Our man on the inside, Kenya and Cricinfo's Abeed Janmohamed, tells me that Kamande is the joker of the side. He's got a serious purpose, here, though

20.1

Kamande to Billcliff, no run, on the dot

20.2

Kamande to Billcliff, no run, hit behind square

20.3

Kamande to Billcliff, no run, driven to mid-off

20.4

Kamande to Billcliff, 2 runs, pushed to square but a misfield allows them to come through for a second

20.5

Kamande to Billcliff, 1 run, worked into the covers

20.6

Kamande to Bagai, 2 runs, on the button and that's beaten the man at short third man allowing them to come back for a second

21.1

Varaiya to Billcliff, 1 run

21.2

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, the batsman can only defend here

21.3

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, defence

21.4

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, tidy stuff from Varaiya, another defensive

21.5

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, a bit of turn but well controlled

21.6

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, yet more defence

Good work from the spin twins here; they've really put the brakes on Canada. Kamande started life as a seamer, you know, but has reinvented himself - successfully - as an offspinner

22.1

Kamande to Billcliff, no run, defence once more

22.2

Kamande to Billcliff, no run, defended again

22.3

Kamande to Billcliff, no run, defended forward

22.4

Kamande to Billcliff, no run, plenty of tweak as that nips in at the batsman who defends on the back foot

22.5

Kamande to Billcliff, 1 run, just loses his line, there, and that's worked in front of square for a quick single

22.6

Kamande to Bagai, no run, defended on the front foot

23.1

Varaiya to Billcliff, no run, defended again, great area

23.2

Varaiya to Billcliff, 1 leg bye, down on one knee, attempts a sweep, but that crashes off the pad instead

23.3

Varaiya to Bagai, 1 run, played forward

23.4

Varaiya to Billcliff, no run, the tidy stuff continues, on the dot again

23.5

Varaiya to Billcliff, no run, once more that's the spot, once more that's a dot

23.6

Varaiya to Billcliff, no run, nibbles that one into the covers

24.1

Kamande to Bagai, no run, moves on to his back foot to look to find room to work that to mid-on, doesn't find room, and the ball trickles there slowly

24.2

Kamande to Bagai, no run, defended this time

24.3

Kamande to Bagai, 1 run, neat footwork, striding forward and into that shot, a neat little flick off the front foot

24.4

Kamande to Billcliff, no run, goes on to his back foot to defend, but the ball doesn't get up as high as expected, and he ends up patting it back down

24.5

Kamande to Billcliff, 1 run, tickled into the leg-side this time

24.6

Kamande to Bagai, no run, up there, another good ball, and yet more defence results

The halfway stage of this innings then and Canada are just shy of their ton. The track's pretty lifeless so they've been having to grind out the runs out there, and the spinners have been putting on the squeeze, allowing just 11 runs from the last six overs

25.1

Varaiya to Billcliff, 3 runs, and that's the 100 up, with a firm punch of a cover drive; good fielding on the boundary with a successful dive

25.2

Varaiya to Bagai, no run, comes forward and defends over that one

25.3

Varaiya to Bagai, OUT, ah! That should have been out stumped by a mile... instead it was just by a whisker. The batsman raced right down the track and would have been well, well out if the stumping had been taken first time - but the bat's just in the air as he tries to slide it back. A deserved wicket for Varaiya, there

A Bagai st †Ouma b Varaiya 19 (60m 48b 2x4 0x6) SR: 39.58

In comes John Davison. He's the man with fastest hundred in World Cup history and his side could do with some fireworks from him right now, as this innings is taking on a sluggish complexion

25.4

Varaiya to Davison, no run, defending first up

25.5

Varaiya to Davison, no run, more defence, just getting the measure of the pitch early on

25.6

Varaiya to Davison, 1 run, cheeky sweep, cheeky strike-stealing

26.1

Kamande to Davison, no run, on a good length, slow and loopy and almost asking to be hit, but just too well placed to be struck away

26.2

Kamande to Davison, no run, defended again

26.3

Kamande to Davison, no run, defended this time

26.4

Kamande to Davison, 1 run, driven to long-on and is there a run on? "Oh yes, mate"

26.5

Kamande to Billcliff, 1 run, worked into midwicket and that's a quick single

26.6

Kamande to Davison, no run, straight back to the bowler, with a bump ball that's easily picked up

27.1

Varaiya to Billcliff, 1 run, on leg, and that's swept down to one of two men out on the boundary

27.2

Varaiya to Davison, no run, defended this time

27.3

Varaiya to Davison, no run, sharp work from the bowler, diving to his right to stop the return hit

27.4

Varaiya to Davison, FOUR, comes down the track to straight-drive forcefully through the off-side

27.5

Varaiya to Davison, no run, tidy ball, well defended over

27.6

Varaiya to Davison, no run, worked into the covers

28.1

Kamande to Billcliff, no run, drives that into his foot, ouch

28.2

Kamande to Billcliff, 1 run, steps back to try to work that through mid-on, but it's too much of a good length for the ideal shot, instead he manages a touch of nurdling

28.3

Kamande to Davison, no run, movement in the air and the bowler does well to dive over the ball, there

28.4

Kamande to Davison, no run, gets well over the ball to drive it off the toes in front of midwicket

28.5

Kamande to Davison, 1 run, a quick single into the leg-side, driven to mid-on

28.6

Kamande to Billcliff, 1 run, worked to square leg for a quick single

29.1

Varaiya to Billcliff, no run, defended on the money

29.2

Varaiya to Billcliff, no run, defending once more

29.3

Varaiya to Billcliff, no run, even more defence

29.4

Varaiya to Billcliff, no run, driven into the covers

29.5

Varaiya to Billcliff, 1 run, a touch of extra loop nearly pays off - Billcliff going for the aerial drive but it lands in space inside the cover boundary

29.6

Varaiya to Davison, 1 run, presses the bat to paddle-sweep that to fine leg

30.1

Kamande to Davison, no run, comes down the track to think about driving, doesn't

30.2

Kamande to Davison, OUT, he's gone! Davison is gone! That's a huge wicket, bowled neck and crop and it's another deserved wicket for the spinners. Davison was completely deceived by that one which nipped right back in at him and took his stumps and Kamande's shimmy-shake of a celebration, while not quite Sreesanth-esque, is nevertheless a treat

JM Davison b Kamande 8 (12m 19b 1x4 0x6) SR: 42.10

Qaiser Ali comes in now. The momentum is all with Kenya at the moment, Canada are completely bogged down and need some swashbuckling manoeuvres

30.3

Kamande to Qaiser Ali, 1 run, full, but on leg, and the batsman gets on top of the spin to work it over in front of midwicket

30.4

30.5

Kamande to Qaiser Ali, no run, on leg and that's worked to the man in close at short, wide fine leg

30.6

Kamande to Qaiser Ali, no run, the bowler pushes him on to the back foot and he can only defend

Tikolo bringing himself on to bowl - more spin, very wise decision

31.1

Tikolo to Billcliff, no run, worked to the man in front of midwicket. Billcliff scrunches up his nose at not being able to find the gap

33.1

33.3

Tikolo to Qaiser Ali, 1 leg bye, nudged to midwicket

33.4

33.5

Tikolo to Qaiser Ali, no run, defended this time

33.6

Tikolo to Qaiser Ali, 1 run, tries to sweep, fails - more than a hint of frustration in that shot

34.1

Kamande to Qaiser Ali, OUT, played round the ball - it didn't turn that much, but it was flatter and quicker... and it sneaked through bat and pad

Qaiser Ali b Kamande 6 (10m 16b 1x4 0x6) SR: 37.50

34.2

Kamande to Mulla, no run, driven to cover

34.3

Kamande to Mulla, no run, defended this time

34.4

Kamande to Mulla, no run, Mulla has no answers to that one, either - it spun and bounced high at him and he could only defend

34.5

Kamande to Mulla, no run, this one kept low, and he got over it to defend

34.6

Kamande to Mulla, no run, swept low to fine leg

37.5

Tikolo to Billcliff, no run, "Catchaaaa..." The cry tails off as the ball bounces short of cover

40.3

Tikolo to Billcliff, OUT, a soft end for Billcliff, popping a nothing shot back to Tikolo who crashes down with agility to take a low two-handed catch

IS Billcliff c & b Tikolo 34 (85m 63b 2x4 0x6) SR: 53.96

Canada in disarray here, totally unable to rebuild the momentum they've been lacking since Barnett's departure

40.4

Tikolo to Dhaniram, no run, "How was that?" they wonder - it's most certainly not out, missing the stumps

40.5

40.6

Tikolo to Dhaniram, 1 run, driven to long-on

41.1

Varaiya to Dhaniram, no run, pitches outside off and it's played down off the back foot

41.3

41.4

Varaiya to Dhaniram, no run, works back to try to make room, but can only drive without power, to the bowler

41.5

Varaiya to Dhaniram, no run, dabbed down to third man

41.6

Great spell from Varaiya - ridiculously economical at under two an over... and he picked up a wicket, too

42.1

Tikolo to Mulla, no run, spins in from outside off and that's just nudged gently into the covers

42.2

Tikolo to Dhaniram, no run, driven down into the ground off the back foot back to the bowler

Ongondo to return

43.1

43.2

Ongondo to Mulla, 1 run, rushed up there and raps the pads, but the Canadians squeeze out a run

43.3

Ongondo to Dhaniram, no run, short, straight and that one pops up off the bat into the covers

43.5

Ongondo to Dhaniram, 1 run, using the pace again to run that one down to third man

43.6

Ongondo to Mulla, 1 run, straight drive this time

44.1

Tikolo to Mulla, 1 run, a huge heave and that's a really poor spill in the field by Ongondo, who was too casual in his approach. Mulla swung that high in the air and it was put down on the off side

44.2

Tikolo to Dhaniram, 1 run, defended forward this time

44.3

45.3

Ongondo to Dhaniram, 1 run, straight, and that's taken from middle with an attempted on-drive

45.4

Ongondo to Mulla, 1 run, full toss pulled away to deep square leg where it wasn't tidily dealt with by Shah, but he did well in the end to return

45.5

Ongondo to Dhaniram, 1 run, another full toss sliced down to third man for a single

45.6

Ongondo to Mulla, SIX, six! And a big one! That's gone a long way, that pull shot off a full toss, right into the midwicket stand

New ball, please.... the old one was lost on the roof last delivery

46.1

Tikolo to Dhaniram, 1 run, short, dabbed to third man, and there's some excitement from the Kenya fielders, sensing a run out chance

46.2

Tikolo to Mulla, no run, Ongondo makes no mistake this time and it's smiles all round for the guys in green. Another huge swipe and Mulla doesn't muller that, sending it high and straight over to Ongondo at short third man who breaks into a broad beam as he holds on

46.3

Tikolo to Mulla, OUT, outside off and that's driven without much power to cover

AA Mulla c Ongondo b Tikolo 25 (45m 39b 0x4 1x6) SR: 64.10

46.4

Tikolo to Dhaniram, no run, that turns away from the lefthander who leaves it

46.5

Tikolo to Dhaniram, 2 runs, driven forward

46.6

Tikolo to Dhaniram, SIX, shot! The ball pitches outside off and that's taken from there over in front of midwicket with a flat-bat smash. Nice!

47.1

Odoyo to Bhatti, 1 run, short and that's worked easily enough down to third man

47.2

Odoyo to Dhaniram, no run, big heave at that one to one which pitches wide - completely misses

47.3

Odoyo to Dhaniram, 1 run, wide again and that's hit with some power - but not quite timed - to the sweeper on the off-side boundary

47.4

Odoyo to Bhatti, OUT, horrible flash - stepping back to that one for a waft. But, hello, some even more horrible cricket... The keeper lobbed it back to the bowler, but it went over his head, and the covering fielder returned to the keeper. Meanwhile, Bhatti had decided the run was on, but was left stranded when Dhaniram refused to set off. Oh dear

U Bhatti run out 1 (4m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

47.5

Odoyo to Cummins, no run, more trouble - driven off the back foot to cover and the non-striker is nearly run out without facing a ball, but there's a miss

47.6

Odoyo to Cummins, no run, moves on to his back foot and dabs that into the covers

48.1

Tikolo to Dhaniram, 1 run, on the button, and driven easily to cover

48.2

Tikolo to Cummins, 1 run, pitches straight, turns to leg and that's worked for an easy single into the leg-side

48.3

Tikolo to Dhaniram, OUT, reverse sweep straight to third man, more confusion, and Cummins is going after that - he was well stranded at the non-striker's end

AC Cummins run out 1 (5m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

48.4

Tikolo to Dhaniram, no run, drops that one wide and the batsman has time to run that one down to third man

48.5

Tikolo to Dhaniram, no run, on the money and that's defended

48.6

Tikolo to Dhaniram, no run, ooh, a thick inside edge nearly dribbles back on to the stumps, but misses and it's collected by Ouma

49.1

Odoyo to Osinde, no run, oh, dabs at that one which flirts through to the keeper, popping just a touch on its way

49.2

Odoyo to Osinde, 1 run, nips back in off the seam, sits up a bit, and that's dabbed to third man

49.3

Odoyo to Dhaniram, 2 runs, slower ball clubbed away on the on-side, and there's a casual one-handed pick-up inside the boundary

49.4

Odoyo to Dhaniram, FOUR, thin edge, full toss, and that boundary will be well received, even though it's not where he had meant to send it

49.5

Odoyo to Dhaniram, FOUR, picked up off the toes and that's flicked uppishly behind square

49.6

Odoyo to Dhaniram, 1 run, OUT, short, on leg, and that's worked out to cover - the run-out was a direct hit but he way out; just trying to get one final boost

H Osinde run out 1 (4m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Kenya's openers, Maurice Ouma and David Obuya, are taking to the field, while Davison sets his men about the field. Umar Bhatti, the left-arm seamer, is to open the bowling.

*** So Canada have set Kenya 200 to win. Tikolo's decision to field now looks a good one, although his comment about the moisture rather suggests he was expecting his seamers to do the job. As it was, it was the spinners who were the class act, really placing the squeeze on Canada who never really got going on a slow pitch once Barnett had fallen for 41.
