Lungi Ngidi to Rovman Powell
OUT! CAUGHT! Lungi Ngidi strikes on his return to the attack. South Africa continue to chip away at the wickets. Ngidi lands it on a short of a length, outside off. Powell stands tall to thrash it through the off side. He picks the bones out of it but fails to find the gap. He picks out Dewald Brevis at cover, who bends and takes a sharp grab around his right shoulder in reverse cup style.

Corbin Bosch to Sherfane Rutherford
SIX! BANG! This one is fuller, on off, Sherfane Rutherford swings his arms and heaves it across the line, over the deep square leg fence, which is also the shorter side, to get six more runs.
6.3
W
Corbin Bosch to Sherfane Rutherford
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Corbin Bosch fights back. Sherfane Rutherford tries to repeat the dose, but it does not come off for him this time. Bosch hits the hard length and keeps the line around the off pole. Sherfane swivels to unleash the pull but is cramped for room and he cannot swing his arms in the desired fashion. Moreover, he is rushed, and the ball is skied off the upper half of the blade. The keeper, Quinton de Kock, settles under it and does the rest.

Marco Jansen to Sherfane Rutherford
PUT DOWN! That should have been taken. Hands on head for Lungi Ngidi. Jansen bowls it on a hard length, over off. Rutherford hops and arches back a touch to use the pace on the ball. He opens the bat face and glides it uppishly to short third, where Ngidi leaps and gets both hands over his head, but he cannot jump high enough. The ball clips his fingertips and goes behind. Ngidi turns around, but the ball drops to the ground by then and away from his reach. They cross.

Lungi Ngidi to Brandon King
FOUR! More of a horizontal bat this time but the result is the same. Ngidi offers width again, on a short of a length. King stands tall and punches it through covers for a four.

Lungi Ngidi to Brandon King
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Lungi Ngidi corrects his line and strikes. Ngidi goes wide on the crease and brings the line closer to the off stump. On a short of a length, just outside the off pole. King hangs back to deal with it, but the ball lands and nips away enough to take the outside edge. The keeper, Quinton de Kock gobbles it up. Ngidi turns around and points at his captain at mid off, as if saying - I told you.

Lungi Ngidi to Roston Chase
Angled into the right-hander, on a good length, Chase turns it off the pads through square leg for a couple of runs.

Lungi Ngidi to Roston Chase
OUT! DRAGGED ON! Lungi Ngidi says to Kagiso Rabada, if you can strike twice in an over, I can do just as well. Ngidi bashes the surface and bowls it on a hard length, on off. Chase stands tall on his toes and gets his hands high to punch it away. He plays it with an angled bat. The ball cuts back in off the deck to take the inside edge before deflecting back onto the stumps. Quite an eventful start to the game. Wickets, fours, sixes, dropped catches, we have had everything in the first 4 overs. West Indies are 4 down for 43.

Kagiso Rabada to Shai Hope
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The edge is found this time. Kagiso Rabada strikes with his second ball. Wobble seam delivery, on a back of a length, outside off. Hope gets on his toes to ride the bounce and punch it away on the off side. The ball nips away with a bit of extra bounce. It grazes the outside edge and the keeper, Quinton de Kock, makes no mistake. Rabada is lucky that the ball did not go to slip as the man there had just been moved out before this ball.

Kagiso Rabada to Shimron Hetmyer
DROPPED! Shimron Hetmyer gets a lifeline on the very first ball. Hettie had given up. This is pitched up by Rabada, on middle. Shimron gets his hands through the line and goes for the lofted drive. He just checks his shot and it goes to mid on, where Corbin Bosch is late to react. He thinks he can grab it over his head without having to move. The ball keeps rising and Bosch has to leap to take the catch. The ball clips his fingertips and goes behind for a couple of runs.

Kagiso Rabada to Shimron Hetmyer
OUT! CAUGHT! Taken this time and the dropped catch does not cost South Africa much. Corbin Bosch will be a relieved man. Two wickets in the over for Rabada. Angling across off, on a back of a length. Hetmyer has a jab at it off the back foot. He fails to get the timing right and it is mistimed uppishly to mid-wicket. Keshav Maharaj, standing on the edge of the ring, moves to his right and takes the catch at head height.

Marco Jansen to Brandon King
FOUR MORE! Streaky this time! Jansen digs it in short, over off and middle. Brandon swivels on the back foot for the pull but fails to get on top of the bounce. The ball climbs on the batter to catch a top edge and it flies over the keeper's head for another four.

Keshav Maharaj to Shai Hope
SIX! Taken by Dewald Brevis, but he runs with the ball into the boundary cushions. 17 runs off the first over. A great start for West Indies. Maharaj drops it short, on middle. Hope presses on the back foot, clears the front leg and plays the pull. Hits it aerially to deep mid-wicket, where Brevis runs to his left and takes the catch in reverse cup style over his head. He cannot slam the brakes and cannot release the ball before going over the ropes. Keshav Maharaj is not happy one bit.

Done with the pre-match formalities! The Proteas spread out under the hot sun and take up the fielding positions. Brandon King and Shai Hope are the two openers for West Indies. We will see spin straightaway as Keshav Maharaj has the new ball in hand. Let's play...
0
The plan to go with Keshav Maharaj almost worked out for South Africa. It will be Marco Jansen to bowl from the other end.

Pace from both ends now as Kagiso Rabada replaces Keshav Maharaj.

Proteas strike back here. Shimron Hetmyer walks out to bat at number 3.

The next batter is...Rovman Powell.
0
So, a double strike from Kagiso Rabada in the last over and South Africa will be feeling a lot more relieved. Here is Lungi Ngidi to bowl now.
0
It is all happening here in Ahmedabad. Dropped catches, boundaries, but West Indies are also three down inside the Powerplay now. Roston Chase comes out to the middle. Two slips in place as well.
0
Number 4 goes down for the Windies. Sherfane Rutherford joins Rovman Powell out in the middle. This will be the key partnership for them if they want to get to a good score.
0
DRINKS! You won't see such a chaotic, yet entertaining start to a match. We have had everything so far. The first 2 overs went for 29 runs, but then South Africa struck back, taking 4/14 despite dropping a couple of catches. West Indies are in a tough spot here, and this pair of Sherfane Rutherford and Rovman Powell need to take this game deep, as they still have a lot of firepower left in the tank. South Africa will want to just keep the pressure on the batters and not give away anything loose, keep picking up wickets, and they will have a real chance of getting the Windies bowled out cheaply. Also, Corbin Bosch is to bowl after the break.
0
West Indies have lost half their side for 60. Jason Holder is the next batter in.
0
Will we see some spin now? Yes, we will. Keshav Maharaj comes back into the attack. He went for 17 runs in his first over.
0
It's all going south for the Windies here.
