If we get South Africa in the semis, can we call in sick?
Ian, Southampton
Forde 11 (8), Holder 9 (9)
Halfway through the innings and West Indies are 82-6, with Jason Holder and Matthew Forde attempting to rebuild.
Corbin Bosch, who removed Sherfane Rutherford in the eighth, returns to the attack.

This is fascinating stuff. You would think there would be some consolidating from West Indies but that has not been the case.
Exciting stuff to watch.
Matthew Forde is in the mood! He gobbles up a shorter delivery from Marco Jansen and deposits the ball into the stands. Miles over mid-wicket.

West Indies are not holding back. It looks like they are going to continue playing their shots.
South Africa are bowling outside off-stump, maybe trying to induce an edge.
Right on cue... Matthew Forde's first boundary of the day, dispatching Marco Jansen through mid-on for four.

If you want some good news for West Indies, they were 82-7 in a warm-up game against Afghanistan when Matthew Forde came out and flayed 52 (26). His batting partner? Jason Holder.

Lungi Ngidi is having a day he will remember for the rest of his life. He will be looking for his five-for now.
West Indies are sinking into more trouble. Who is going to bring that partnership? Someone needs to bring this back for them.

That felt like it was there to be hit but Dewald Brevis clung onto it. Big problems for West Indies.
Powell c Brevis b Ngidi 9 (WI 71-6)
Image source, Getty ImagesRovman Powell absolutely hammered that but it's straight to Dewald Brevis in the covers.
Lungi Ngidi has his third wicket. West Indies are 71-6.
Good over from West Indies. Sensible running by Rovman Powell and Jason Holder and they picked off the one bad ball. Too floaty, too full.
Tatendu Taibu
Former Zimbabwean cricketer
A beautiful cricket shot from Jason Holder considering the circumstances. You would think after the first over that Keshav Maharaj bowled, they would try to tick him over.
He had a nice flow off the bat to whack it over his head.
Keshav Maharaj, who conceded 17 runs in the opening over of the match, returns to the attack. Rovman Powell replaces his helmet with a cap.
He trades three singles with Jason Holder before the latter pounds Maharaj down the ground for six.

Corbin Bosch has bowled really quickly and consistently too. To have him as a back-up bowler to Lungi Ngidi and Kagiso Rabada is a big plus for South Africa.
Corbin Bosch follows up his wicket with three dot balls to Jason Holder.
I suppose the positive for West Indies is they only lost one wicket in that over...
Tatendu Taibu
Former Zimbabwean cricketer
Corbin Bosch normally does not celebrate but you can see how important that wicket was to him.
West Indies are struggling now. Sherfane Rutherford was looking so strong.

Sherfane Rutherford was looking to play another big shot. He catches his bat in frustration as he walks off.

Sherfane Rutherford tries to go big again but gets a top edge. A tumbling Quinton de Kock pouches the catch behind the stumps.
West Indies are five down inside seven overs. Out walks Jason Holder.

Former Zimbabwean cricketer
Sherfane Rutherford looks a calm character. He loves hitting a cricket ball.
His balance and steady head allows him to get into a strong position.
