  1. WI 187-3

    Sikander Raza is okay after some magic spray. He ain't got time to bleed.

  2. Michael Carberry
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I would be very surprised if he hasn't got a fracture there or something.

    That didn't look good at all. It sort of hit him high up on his pinky finger on his left hand, so at least it isn't his bowling hand.

    That was a very powerful hit from Rovman Powell, he is absolutely finding the middle of the bat at the moment.

  3. ouch!

    West Indies' Rovman Powell (C) checks Zimbabwe's captain Sikandar RazaGetty Images

    Rovman Powell takes on the six-hitting mantle and biffs Sikander Raza over mid-wicket for six.

    Next ball Powell hammers a delivery straight back at Raza.

    It comes at head height and the Zimbabwe skipper manages to get his hands in the way but it bursts through them. Harsh to call that drop.

    The physio is on to check on Raza's digits.

    If you're going to meet this West Indies team in the knockout rounds, you definitely want it to be on a pitch where par is less than 180 and the boundaries are 80m plus.

  5. WI 179-3

    Sherfane Rutherford the new batter for West Indies.

    A little window for Zimbabwe to wrestle back some of the initiative now.

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

    A fantastic innings there from Shimron Hetmyer.

    He has done the right thing by waiting for his match-ups and trying to take those match-ups on. He has done what West Indies are so good at doing, which is trying to hit sixes consistently.

    It did feel like that ball was in the slot for him but he just tried to hit it too square. If he had kept his shape, he probably would've hit it straight over long-on for a six.

    He has put his team in a great position though.

    Shimron Hetmyer walks back to the pavilionGetty Images

    Shimron Hetmyer's brutal unabashed hitting is brought to an end.

    Graeme Cremer dangles the carrot and the West Indies left-hander slog sweeps to the mid-wicket boundary.

    It's in the air and Brian Bennett is able to get round and take the catch.

    Zimbabwe have dropped Hetmyer twice. Has the damage already been done?

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

    I don't know when the last time I saw a consolidation period was, maybe when I was playing in 2008 and I used to knock it around for three or four an over.

    But these guys just keep going and keep their foot on the accelerator.

  9. 6 runs

    WI 176-2

    Shimron Hetmyer readjusts the straps on his gloves, then goes down on one knee and slog sweeps Graeme Cremer for six over cow corner.

  10. 50 runs

    Fifty for Powell

    Rovman Powell (L) celebrates his half-centuryGetty Images

    Rovman Powell has gone up through the gears after a bit of stodgy start.

    Graeme Cremer's first ball is slapped for a single down to long-on for a single.

    Powell's fifty off 29 balls

  11. West Indies 169-2 at drinks

    The joy of six for West Indies at the moment.

    Rovman Powell is on the march now and he hammers the hapless Brad Evans for a flat six over long-off.

    Powell follows it up with back-to-back fours before punching a single to keep the strike.

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

    As a batter, you have to find what works for you. You cannot compete with anyone else, you have to stick to your own game.

    I would say Rovman Powell needs to do that here. I feel like he is going to be lining Dion Myers up, this is the bowler he has been wanting to face.

  13. 6 runs

    WI 150-2

    You might need to get to the chopper to fetch that.

    Huge from Rovman Powell who hits a 106-metre six - the biggest today so far - off the final ball of Dion Myers' over.

    Powell plants his front foot and smokes it over wide long-off.

  14. WI 141-2

    Dion Myers into the attack for Zimbwbwe.

    May as well be Mike Myers bowling given Shimron Hetmyer is seeing it like a football.

    Short and wide from Myers and Hetmyer squirts it wide of point for four.

    Later in the over, Rovman Powell swats another boundary through mid-wicket.

  15. 6 runs

    WI 131-2

    Exhibit A of why you cannot afford to drop Shimron Hetmyer.

    Rovman Powell, who has 21 off 20 balls, whips Brad Evans for six over mid-wicket off the penultimate ball of the over.

  16. Hetmyer dropped on 70

    Brad Evans bowls.

    Shimron Hetmyer with a slog towards cow corner.

    Tashinga Musekiwa spills the catch.

    That's twice Musekiwa has put down the West Indies left-hander.

    Shimron Hetmyer plays a shotGetty Images

    Zimbabwe probably should've caught Shimron Hetmyer when they had the chance.

    Sikander Raza has his work cut out. He went back to his leg-spinner again in that over, with Graeme Cremer coming in for his third, so all Rovman Powell really needed to do is get Hetmyer on strike.

    Doing that should hopefully bring more fireworks.

  18. WI 120-2

    Graeme Cremer wrestles one back for Zimbabwe with an over of leg-spin which concedes just five runs.

    Invaluable after the onslaught from Shimron Hetmyer.

    Being encouraged to crowbar in a few more Arnie-quotes now. Stick around, to see if I manage it...

  19. WI 115-2

    At the halfway point and West Indies are motoring towards a sizable total at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

  20. Powell survives

    Thick chunk of inside edge on it as Rovman Powell pressed forward.

    As you were.
