    It looks like it is sliding down the leg-side but it is 50-50. You may as well use your reviews.

  2. South Africa review

    Kagiso Rabada makes a lively appeal for lbw, realises he should probably go and field the ball, jogs a few steps and then resumes his appeal.

    The umpire says no. South Africa captain Aiden Markram goes upstairs.

    It's against Romario Shepherd, so why not?

  3. 6 runs

    WI 135-7

    Six more! Romario Shepherd gleefully accepts a short delivery from Kagiso Rabada. That's not the welcome back to the attack the South African would have wanted.

  4. WI 129-7

    Shepherd 32 (23), Holder 24 (21)

    Romario Shepherd sends the penultimate ball of the over to the rope. An effortless four through the covers.

    He finishes the 16th with a single to keep the strike.

  5. 6 runs

    WI 124-7

    Romario Shepherd bangs Corbin Bosch over mid-wicket for six. One step, no follow-through. He knew where it was going as soon as it left his bat.

    South Africa are just beginning to lose control.

    West Indies are building a nice partnership here. If they can really put some impetus on in the last few overs, they can put a decent total on.

    We know these players can score a decent amount of runs.

  7. WI 118-7

    It's not been a good day for Keshav Maharaj. He finishes with 0-43 from his four overs.

    Five overs to go. West Indies are 118-7, with Romario Shepherd on 21 (17) and Jason Holder on 24 (21). They've put on 35 for the eighth wicket.

  8. 6 runs

    Another six for Romario Shepherd, lapping up a poor delivery from Keshav Maharaj and powering him over the cover boundary.

    South Africa would tear England to shreds on current form. We do have players that like short balls and South Africa have a reputation for crashing and burning when it really matters. We need to use experience and build a strong partnership, whoever we play.

  10. WI 109-7

    Jason Holder of West IndiesGetty Images

    Two boundaries in the over for West Indies, a six for Romario Shepherd and a guided four behind point for Jason Holder.

    Holder chips the final ball of the over towards Keshav Maharaj at cover but it drops just short of the fielder. Lungi Ngidi is furious that Maharaj didn't put in a dive.

    12 runs from the over.

    Shepherd and Holder have put on 26 for the eighth wicket. Only Shai Hope and Brandon King (29 off 14 for the first wicket) have built a bigger partnership.

    Well bowled from Lungi Ngidi. He went to that slower ball he has and went quite wide.

    It just shows the power Romario Shepherd has - he didn't even hit that totally cleanly.

  12. 6 runs

    WI 104-7

    100 up for West Indies! Romario Shepherd sends Lungi Ngidi over mid-off for six. They're not done yet!

    Reminder to Ian. The last time England played South Africa, they scored over 300 in a T20.

    Jason, London

    RE: Ian at 10:24 South Africa in the semi-finals is historically exactly where they start 'tripping up' after being dominant early in the competition.

  14. WI 97-7

    Jason Holder of West Indies plays a shotGetty Images

    Jason Holder hits West Indies' first boundary for 19 balls, a big edge going just out of each of a flying fielder at point.

    It ruins what had otherwise been a tidy over from spinner Keshav Maharaj.

    Seven from the over.

    Kagiso Rabada has had a quiet World Cup and has been under pressure. You always need to peak at the right time in these tournaments and that is what he has done.

  16. WI 90-7

    Kagiso Rabada, with 2-7 from his first two overs, returns to the attack.

    Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd exchange four singles.

    The first three are jogged. Holder sprints through off the final ball of the over but South Africa's fielders converge on the ball to deny him a second.

  17. WI 86-7

    Four runs and a wicket from the 11th over. West Indies are in all sorts of trouble on 86-7.

    West Indies can bat deep, they have so much power. Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd are capable of getting 50 off 25 balls.

    They need to get something going here.

  19. WI 83-7

    Romario Shepherd tries to duck under one and the ball ricochets off his shoulder and onto his helmet.

  20. Dawid Malan
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That was almost catching practice for Ryan Rickelton.

    It has been noticeable to see how South Africa's seamers have bowled short. They have really banged the ball in and used the dimensions of the ground.
