  • 16.4
    Mitchell McClenaghan c Ashley Nurse b Kesrick Williams 10 (8)

    OUT! Caught. Kesrick Williams to Mitchell McClenaghan. Length ball, down leg side on the front foot Slog, leading edge in the air uncontrolled to deep cover, by Nurse. A big heave towards the legside, but a huge leading edge sees the ball spiralling out towards the sweeper on the offside boundary, and it is smartly taken to finish off the match. Tymal Mills picked up an injury earlier, and is unable to bat.

    A great few hours of entertainment, all for a good cause. Windies were clinical, and have shown why they are so good at this format of the game. Brutal with the bat, and intelligent with the ball. A one-sided match, but all good fun. Thanks for joining.

  • 14.2

    SIX! Kesrick Williams to Rashid Khan. Short, outside off stump moves in front hooking, top edge in the air under control over fine leg for 6 runs. Rashid Khan sets himself early by walking across the crease, flaps at the short ball, and it flies off the top edge over the fine leg fence.

Thisara's stay at the crease comes to an end. A cracking catch off his own bowling by Williams. A big mow across the line from Perera, which goes straight up in the air. None of the fielders were going to reach to attempt the catch, so Williams had to go himself. Sprinted back from the follow-though, and took it diving over his shoulder.

  • 13.1

    Ashley Nurse to Rashid Khan. Off break short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep backward square leg for 1 run, dropped catch by Fletcher. Terrible cricket all round there. Awful delivery. Dragged down very short, and Rashid Khan tries to bash it out the park.

That is the end of Afridi's international cricket career, and Lord's give him a wonderful reception as he walks off. Clipped a full toss off the toes, but a slight miscue means that he cannot clear the fence, and Nurse was there to clean up at deep mid wicket.
