DRINKS! With that wicket, drinks are taken on the field now. After losing Temba Bavuma early, Reeza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen did really well to keep the scoreboard ticking and also brought their 50-run partnership. West Indies have got their man in the form of Reeza Hendricks who was looking dangerous but they need a few more wickets to turn the game in their favor. Aiden Markram walks out to bat now.
9.2 overs (0 Run) OUT! THAT IS AS CLEAN AS A WHISTLE! Fantastic piece of fielding from Shimron Hetmyer to bring West Indies back into this contest! Huge wicket in the context of the game as Reeza Hendricks walks back to the hut. He was batting with ease but this will give Windies the belief. Not the best of balls though, it is short and on middle, Reeza pulls it powerfully but flat towards deep square leg. Hetmyer runs in, dives forward and claims to take it. The umpires discuss and then take it upstairs with the soft signal being NOT OUT! Replays show that he has taken it inches above the ground. Can Windies build pressure from here?
Both umpires converge and send a catch referal upstairs. The soft signal is NOT OUT from Aleem Dar. Replay shows that Shimron Hetmyer's fingers are underneath and the third umpire signals it OUT.
