Pinpoint accurate yorker right into the blockhole, at the base of off-stump and the bails are flying all over the place, no celebration as he knows the damage is done

97 runs off the last 37 deliveries! West Indies' acceleration was unbelievable. They gorged and feasted on runs until they dripped down their chins. Keacy Carty laid the foundation with a well-orchestrated hundred, receiving solid support from Shai Hope, who chipped in with a composed 49. From there, Justin Greaves took over the mantle, hammering a brisk 44. But the real game-changer was Matthew Forde's knock, whose record-breaking fifty propelled the score past 300. A little cherry on top from Gudakesh Motie helped them post a formidable 352 on the board. It was a forgettable outing for the bowlers especially Josh Little, who was tonked all over the park and looked helpless. Liam McCarthy was also expensive. It'll take a string of solid partnerships to get close to this total. Abhimanyu will be back with the chase. Stay tuned!
