FOUR! Ashley Nurse to Kane Williamson. Off break short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Slapped into the outfield and the fielder doesn't initially pick up the ball. Four more.
Players are sliding around a little too much for the umpires with a steady drizzle coming down.
That's it I'm afraid. Rain is the winner in the first game of 2018 which is a shame as the game was nicely poised. Colin Munro added some early fireworks for the crowd until Windies fought back. The visitors will have to wait for their first win on tour and they only have the one T20 left which will be on Wednesday. See you then.
