49.1 - Parnell to Brathwaite, FOUR, has du Plessis injured himself? No, he looks OK, this was full and on the stumps, Brathwaite cleared his left leg and clubbed it back over the bowler's head. Faf got a long way across from long-on, his foot stuck onto the ground as he put in the dive, allows the ball to roll away to the ropes

47.2 - C Morris to Benn, FOUR, too straight from Morris, ends up drifting onto Benn's pads, a faint tickle and it's enough as the ball scurries away to the fence

43.1 - C Morris to Holder, FOUR, lovely shot, just short of a good length and in that channel outside off, Holder makes room outside leg and slaps it wide of extra cover, doesn't need to run for those

42.0 - Parnell to Holder, FOUR, that's a poor ball from Parnell, juicy full toss outside off, Holder backs away slightly and goes over cover, a couple of bounces and over the ropes

39.1 - Parnell to Brathwaite, FOUR, ahh that is unfortunate! Starts off with the perfect delivery in that corridor of uncertainty and Brathwaite is forced to poke at it with an angled bat and the ball races away to the third man fence bisecting the keeper and the slip to perfection

35.2 - Parnell to Holder, FOUR, and a misfield from Faf allows him to get off the mark and even better, gets him a boundary. After 17 deliveries, Holder pulls this short delivery with a flat bat to mid-off where the ball bounces awkwardly in front of du Plessis en route to the fence

32.3 - C Morris to Darren Bravo, FOUR, unlucky for Morris, full just outside off, Darren Bravo looks to push it to the off-side and ends up getting a thick outside edge and runs away through the vacant slip cordon to the third man fence

28.3 - Duminy to Pollard, FOUR, takes full toll of the free-hit! Duminy hurls it wide of off, Pollard throws everything at it, slices it over backward point and runs away into the fence

25.5 - M Morkel to Darren Bravo, FOUR, cracking shot! From round the wicket, Morkel bowls it short and outside off, Bravo throws the kitches sink at that and slaps it over extra cover

25.4 - M Morkel to Darren Bravo, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Bravo. This was short and outside off, Bravo slaps it through extra cover, the ball races away into the fence

25.3 - M Morkel to Darren Bravo, FOUR, top shot! Picks up the length early, lofts it nonchalantly through the line over mid-off, couple of bounces and into the fence

25.0 - Tahir to Darren Bravo, FOUR, this time he breaches the gap. Looked like the googly, Bravo transfers his weight back and crunches it past a diving cover fielder. Once it beats the infield, it was always going to be a boundary

24.0 - Rabada to Darren Bravo, FOUR, shouts of "catch" but it was nowhere close to the fielder. Short and width provided by Rabada, Bravo carves it uppishly towards sweeper cover, the fielder gets across, puts in the dive but to no avail

18.2 - Parnell to Darren Bravo, FOUR, Bravo brings up his 17th fifty with a boundary. Half-volley outside off, Bravo leans forward, presents a full face of the bat and drives it languidly through extra cover, the ball races away to the fence in a hurry. Raises the bat to the crowd and acknowledges the applause from the crowd

18.0 - C Morris to Darren Bravo, FOUR, edged and four! Shortish and width on offer, Bravo flashes hard, the ball takes the outside edge and runs away to third man, the fielder was very square and had no chance

16.4 - Parnell to Pollard, FOUR, Pollard is not holding back! Full and shaping away outside off, Pollard lofts it over the mid-wicket, the ball races away into the fence

15.5 - C Morris to Pollard, FOUR, make that three in a row! Again pitches it up on the stumps, Pollard leans forward and crunches the drive through extra cover. No need to run for those

15.4 - C Morris to Pollard, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Pollard. Poor delivery from Morris, low full toss angled in on the pads, Pollard gets across and clips it past square leg. The ball races away into the fence

15.3 - C Morris to Pollard, FOUR, lovely shot! Full and in the slot for Pollard, he lofts it handsomely through the line, straight down the ground. Beautiful execution!

14.5 - M Morkel to Pollard, FOUR, back of a length delivery outside off, Pollard opens the bat face and looks to run it down to the third man, instead gets an outside edge that goes between keeper and widish 1st slip. Amla was the fielder there, he dived to his left, but wasn't going to get anywhere near the ball

13.3 - Tahir to Darren Bravo, FOUR, poor delivery from Tahir, bowls a low full toss outside off, Bravo gets forward and picks the gap, drives it wide of long-off. The fielder runs to his right and can't keep the ball in

13.0 - M Morkel to Darren Bravo, FOUR, very full delivery outside off, Bravo gets forward and drives this all along the ground and finds the sweeper cover fence

10.5 - M Morkel to Darren Bravo, FOUR, short delivery on the stumps, Bravo slaps the pull well in front of square and gets to his second boundary of the innings

9.4 - C Morris to Pollard, FOUR, very full delivery on the pads, Pollard tucks it off his legs and times it well, beats the fielder at mid-wicket - to his right. The ball races away to the fence in no time

6.3 - Rabada to Pollard, leg byes, FOUR, FSL in place for Pollard, Rabada sprays this on the pads and gives West Indies an easy boundary. Clips it off the legs fine towards fine leg boundary, off the pads and it's given as leg byes

4.4 - Rabada to Ramdin, FOUR, Ramdin gets off the mark with a boundary, Rabada bowls this back of a length on the pads, Ramdin gets across a touch and flicks it to fine leg, the ball races away to the fence

3.2 - Parnell to Darren Bravo, FOUR, looking to angle in to the left hander and starts from middle, Bravo moves across a touch and clips it fine and the ball has enough legs to reach the fence

1.3 - Parnell to Andre Fletcher, FOUR, two in two for Fletcher, Parnell bowls it across and gives him too much width to throw his bat at it, Fletcher slashes the cut past the backward point fielder, the man at third man runs to his right and puts in a dive, can't manage to keep it back in

1.2 - Parnell to Andre Fletcher, FOUR, very full delivery just outside off, Fletcher lofts this over mid-on to give WI their second boundary

0.4 - Rabada to Charles, FOUR, fullish length delivery outside off, Charles flashes the drive past cover fielder and gets off the mark with style

43.3 - C Morris to Holder, SIX, magnificent, that's gone out of the Kensington Oval, length delivery angling into the right-hander, Holder took a step down the track, swings through the line and sends it soaring over the roof - at mid-wicket. It's the shorter boundary, but that was a colossal hit

42.1 - M Morkel to Brathwaite, SIX, cracking shot, Brathwaite stands and admires as the ball sails over the ropes, just short of a good length and on the off-stump line, Brathwaite gets forward, presents an angles bat and lifts it high and over the long-on fence for a maximum

36.0 - Parnell to Holder, SIX, absolutely flat! Just a tad short from Parnell and Holder just swipes his bat to deposit the ball over the deep mid wicket fence. Unbelievable

34.2 - C Morris to Darren Bravo, SIX, and what a way to bring up his century. Has to be one of his more meaningful 100s given the circumstances. Morris pushes the ball full outside off and angling away, Darren Bravo swings across the line and slogs it over the mid-wicket fence

31.1 - Tahir to Darren Bravo, SIX, starts this spell with an overpitched delivery right into the slot and Darren Bravo lofts it over Tahir's head straight down the ground for a maximum. Top shot

28.3 - Duminy to Pollard, no ball, SIX, massive it! Sees the fullish delivery and launches it over long-on, went a long way into the stands. Duminy has overstepped on that occasion. So a free-hit coming up

14.4 - M Morkel to Pollard, SIX, WI are taking on the bowler here, Pollard thumps this over covers and gets a maximum for this fullish delivery outside off, times it well and the ball carries all the way

11.2 - Tahir to Darren Bravo, SIX, Bravo looking to put pressure on the spinner, tossed up delivery on the stumps, Bravo lofts it straight down the ground and sends it into the crowd, top shot from Bravo

10.2 - M Morkel to Darren Bravo, SIX, dropped!! Parnell at fine leg drops it and what's worse is he pushes it over the boundary. Short delivery on the stumps, Bravo goes for the pull and is no control, the top-edge flew to fine leg, Parnell runs to his right, jumps in the air, gets both hands onto it and parries it over the fence. He didn't need to jump there, it came at a comfortable height, ended up making a mess of it

49.5 - Parnell to S Gabriel, out S Gabriel Run Out!! West Indies have been bowled out for 285. This was a length delivery on off, Gabriel made room and drove it towards mid-off, they were always going for the single. As Gabriel was about to complete his run, he saw Amla charging towards the bowler's end, the concentration snapped and so did the momentum. Gabriel was trying to avoid colliding into Amla, lost all the momentum and was found well short as Behardien made a direct hit at the bowler's end. Brathwaite has a word with AB, but Amla didn't come block Gabriel's path on purpose and the decision stands. S Gabriel run out (F Behardien) 2(6)

47.5 - C Morris to Benn, out Caught by Duminy!! And Benn falls immediately after that! A nothing shot from the West Indian No.10 batsman, but an excellent running catch from Behardien. This was banged in short and just outside off, Benn went for the pull, doesn't bother to keep it down. Behardien runs a fair way from deep mid-wicket, puts in the dive and clasps it safely, inches above the turf. Brathwaite is running out of partners now. Benn c Duminy b C Morris 5(5) [4s-1]

46.1 - Rabada to Narine, out Narine Run Out!! Poor running from West Indies and it has cost Narine his wicket. He dabbed a length ball straight to Morris at point, Brathwaite was always looking for a quick single. Narine stuttered at the start, took off late and was never going to beat the throw. A direct hit at the bowler's end and Narine is miles short of his ground. Narine run out (C Morris) 1(4)

45.3 - C Morris to Holder, out Caught by de Kock!! Edged and caught! That's a soft dismissal for the West Indies skipper, this was a length delivery on the stumps, Holder's eyes lit up as he aimed for the short leg-side boundary, heaves across the line, gets a thick edge and it's a simple grab for de Kock, moving to his right. Big wicket for South Africa, West Indies' tail has been opened up at one end. Holder c de Kock b C Morris 40(46) [4s-3 6s-2]

36.1 - C Morris to Darren Bravo, out Caught by du Plessis!! And finally a piece of brilliance in the field does it for Bravo. Brings an innings of resurrection to an end. Morris rolls his fingers on the ball and digs it in short but the ball doesn't rise as anticipated, Darren Bravo looks to slap it over mid-wicket and ends up top-edging it over mid-on. Faf runs back, tumbles across, and completes a fine take. Darren Bravo c du Plessis b C Morris 102(103) [4s-12 6s-4]

30.0 - M Morkel to Pollard, out Caught by du Plessis!! du Plessis has pulled off a blinder of a catch. Finally, the partnership has been broken. This was fullish and on the stumps, Pollard rolls his wrists and whips it towards long-on, perhaps he wanted to go much straighter, the bat turned in his hands and went to du Plessis who flew to his right, timed his jump to perfection and plucked a brilliant take. A gritty knock from Pollard comes to an end. Pollard c du Plessis b M Morkel 62(71) [4s-7 6s-2]

5.0 - Rabada to Ramdin, out Bowled!! That's a top follow up delivery from Rabada. Bowls this yorker at 149ks. Right on the stumps and Ramdin was in no position to play this, falls over and loses his balance while looking to tuck this towards mid-wicket. Missed the ball completely and the ball shatters his middle stump, off his pads. Ramdin b Rabada 4(7) [4s-1]

2.5 - Rabada to Samuels, out Bowled!! West Indies are falling like nine pins here. Its Samuels this time who makes his way back to the pavilion, Rabada bowls this very full, in fact a yorker on off-stump, Samuels was on the back foot and was completely foxed. Doesn't get his bat down in time and the ball crashes into the off-stump. Rabada is on a hat-trick now. Samuels b Rabada 0(1)

2.4 - Rabada to Charles, out Caught by C Morris!! No.2 for South Africa now, West Indies are in a spot of bother early in the innings. Rabada bowls this on a good length outside off and gets extra bounce, Charles is surprised with the bounce and pokes at it, the ball takes the shoulder and flies to second slip, Morris pouches it in front of his shoulder to send Charles back to the hut. Charles c C Morris b Rabada 4(10) [4s-1]

2.0 - Parnell to Andre Fletcher, out Caught by de Kock!! Parnell strikes early for South Africa and aren't they happy? Yes they are. Bowled across the right-hander and gets it to move further away from outside off, Fletcher slashes this away from the body, gets a thin edge that flies to QDK, who takes an easy catch to his right. Andre Fletcher c de Kock b Parnell 8(6) [4s-2]

48.5 - Rabada to S Gabriel, 2 runs, de Kock drops the ball and that allows Gabriel to make his ground! This was a full toss on the stumps, Gabriel clipped it past mid-wicket for a run, he then turned back and forced his partner back for the second, he was always struggling as the throw went to the keeper's end, puts in the dive and survives as de Kock dropped the ball before breaking the stumps

28.1 - Duminy to Pollard, 2 runs, from round the wicket, Duminy bowls it flatter on the pads, whipped away towards mid-wicket. The pair run hard and adds couple of runs to the tally. Pollard reaches his fifty

19.1 - Rabada to Pollard, 1 run, shortish on the stumps, Pollard gets inside the line and tucks it towards fine leg. With that, it brings up the 100-run partnership between these two.

45.0 - Andre Fletcher to Tahir, FOUR, lovely shot, he's playing some sublime shots, Fletcher dropped this one way too short, Tahir makes room, uses Fletcher's pace and cuts it square behind point, no one moved

44.5 - Andre Fletcher to Tahir, FOUR, poor cricket from Benn, this was dropped short and well outside off, Tahir made room and cracked it towards backward point. Benn lets it go right through his legs, he then sheepishly gives chase, but in vain

43.3 - Brathwaite to Tahir, FOUR, Tahir is playing some sublime shots, overpitched and just outside off, he leans forward, opens the face of the bat at the last moment and drives it to the left of cover for a boundary

43.0 - Benn to Tahir, FOUR, this is even better! Benn gave this one plenty of air, Tahir gets forward, plays with an open face and drives it square past cover, no need to run for those

42.5 - Benn to Tahir, FOUR, Tahir is having some fun here, this was tossed up on off, he gets down low, rolls his wrists and sweeps it past square leg for a boundary

41.4 - Brathwaite to Tahir, FOUR, edged and Ramdin lets it go through. A chance goes begging. This was the slower short delivery, Tahir wanted to force it on the off-side, the extra bounce took the top-edge and flew towards Ramdin who leaped and got his gloves to it, ends up tipping over the bar and the ball runs away to the fence

39.1 - Brathwaite to M Morkel, FOUR, half-volley outside off, Morkel gets under it and lofts it over mid-off. The ball runs away into the fence

39.0 - Benn to Tahir, FOUR, edged and four! Tahir throws his bat at this flatter delivery, gets a thickish outside edge which flies between the keeper and first slip to the third man fence. Holder was taking evasive action and didn't bother attempting the catch

38.2 - Benn to M Morkel, FOUR, nice shot! Picks up this tossed up delivery and lofts it over mid-off. Couple of bounces and into the fence

36.0 - Narine to Rabada, byes, FOUR, this went the other way, looked like the knuckle ball from Narine, Rabada played for the turn as he prodded forward to defend, the ball takes the inside edge and whizzes past the stumps, given as byes though

35.4 - Narine to M Morkel, FOUR, nice shot from Morkel. Narine throws it invitingly, Morkel picks it up and lofts it straight down the ground. One bounce and over the ropes

30.1 - Benn to Parnell, FOUR, nicely done! Changes his grip, brings out the reverse sweep and sends it behind square on the off-side

30.0 - Brathwaite to Rabada, FOUR, cracking shot! Short and ample width on offer outside off, Rabada stands tall and packs a punch, beats the cover fielder and purrs away into the fence

26.3 - Benn to Parnell, FOUR, some improvisation from Parnell. Brings out the reverse sweep and sends it to the third man fence

25.3 - Brathwaite to Behardien, FOUR, Behardien is not afraid to play his shots. Picks up this length delivery and lofts it over mid-on. Raced away!

20.5 - Brathwaite to Behardien, FOUR, short, wide and Brathwaite pays the price. Cut firmly to the sweeper cover fence to bring some sort of respite

15.5 - Narine to C Morris, FOUR, some signs of agression from Morris first up, sweeps this flighted delivery and gets it to the backward square leg off the top-edge

13.3 - Narine to Behardien, byes, FOUR, that missed everything. An absolute beauty from Narine, gets it to come in viciously after pitching on a good length, beats Behardien's forward prod, goes through the gate, the keeper, and rushes away as byes to the fence

12.5 - Holder to Behardien, FOUR, sloppy from the big Gabriel. Holder continues bowling it short into Behardien's body who pulls it behind square where Gabriel's footwork doesn't stop the ball from rolling into the rope

9.4 - S Gabriel to Behardien, FOUR, Behardien is looking positive, gets forward to this fullish length delivery well wide of off, square drives it past the point region

4.2 - Holder to Amla, FOUR, fullish length delivery on the pads, can't bowl there to this man, he whips it of his toes wide of mid-on, Brathwaite at mid-on dives over the ball and lets it go under his hands

3.3 - S Gabriel to de Kock, FOUR, Gabriel bowls this on the pads, de Kock gets forward and flicks it wide of the man at deep mid-wicket, times it to perfection

1.4 - S Gabriel to Amla, FOUR, back of a length delivery outside off, trade mark shot from Amla, punched off the back foot to the sweeper cover region for his 1st boundary

46.0 - Brathwaite to Tahir, out Caught by Ramdin!! Edged and caught! West Indies are into the final of the tri-series, they have thrashed South Africa by 100 runs. A jubilant squad celebrates a rare moment of joy. They will now face Australia in the final on Sunday, South Africa, on the other hand have lost another must-win game and will go back home. Coming to the ball, it was a good length delivery that skidded through after pitching, Tahir was looking to dab it towards third man, gets a thick edge that's gobbled up by Ramdin, moving to his right. Tahir c Ramdin b Brathwaite 29(24) [4s-7]

37.3 - Brathwaite to M Morkel, out Rabada Run Out!! One more down and West Indies are inching closer to victory. This was a back of a length delivery outside off, Morkel pushed it to backward point and set off for a quick single. Rabada was late to respond, he started and then stopped. The fielder has a shy and misses, Rabada then attempts to complete the single, Nurse was backing up at square leg, he fumbles, but still has plenty of time to throw it at the keeper. The return isn't the best, but Ramdin is quick to whip the bails off. Rabada dives, but it was all too late. Rabada run out (Nurse/Ramdin) 9(15) [4s-1]

33.3 - Narine to Parnell, out Caught by (sub)J Carter!! There goes the eighth wicket and South Africa are starring towards a humiliating defeat. This was slightly shortish outside off, extra bounce as well, Parnell slashes hard at that, gets a thickish outside edge which lobbed up towards backward point. Carter runs back and pouches a simple catch. Parnell c (sub)J Carter b Narine 28(58) [4s-2]

27.4 - Brathwaite to Behardien, out Caught by Charles!! Brathwaite gets his name into the wickets column. South Africa are 7 down. This was full and held its line, Behardien went for the slog across the line, gets it off the toe-end of the bat which went high in the air towards long-on where Charles steadies himself, juggles on the first attempt but manages to cling on in the end. Behardien c Charles b Brathwaite 35(57) [4s-4]

17.5 - Narine to C Morris, out Caught by Pollard!! The cookie continues to crumble. Morris looks to jab this quicker from Narine to the on-side, goes off the inside-edge, onto the pad, and loops to the right of FSL. Pollard fortress sticks his right hand out to pluck this one with his fingers. Wild celebrations from the Windies' fielders. C Morris c Pollard b Narine 7(8) [4s-1]

14.1 - Holder to Duminy, out Caught by Benn!! And his troubled innings comes to an end. Kudos to the captain for persisting with himself. Bowls this on a short of length and gets it to nip back into Duminy who closes the face of his blade a tad too soon as he looks to work this one to the on-side and ends up getting a leading edge to Big Benn at gully. Beaten for pace and bounce. The mess gets messier for the visitors. Duminy c Benn b Holder 5(7)

11.2 - Narine to Amla, out Lbw!! And he strikes with only his second delivery. Loops it on the stumps and draws Amla forward who looks to defend, he ends up playing outside the line. The ball just turns enough to beat the bat and strike him bang in front of middle, would have been crashing into the stumps. The big fish departs and South Africa in all sorts of a mess. Amla lbw b Narine 16(36) [4s-2]

8.0 - S Gabriel to de Villiers, out Caught by Ramdin!! This is a top wicket for West Indies. The crowd erupts and ABD has to make his walk back to the hut. Gabriel bowls this full asking ABD to get forward and drive. He goes hard and gets a thick outside edge to the right of Ramdin who dives full length and takes it with both hands this time. Holder is jumping with joy, so are the other WI players. de Villiers c Ramdin b S Gabriel 2(10)

5.2 - S Gabriel to du Plessis, out Lbw!! No.2 goes down for South Africa and they are in a spot of bother. Gabriel bowls this on a good length on the stumps, the ball nips back in slightly, keeps a tad low and du Plessis is late on it - as he looked to defend, misses the ball and is hit on the flap of the back pad. Loud shout by the players and given out by the Umpire. Amla suggests du Plessis to go for the review and it turns out to be a wasted one. du Plessis lbw b S Gabriel 3(8)

3.4 - S Gabriel to de Kock, out Caught by Ramdin!! This time Gabriel strikes. Bowls this on a good length just outside off, hint of shape back into the left-hander. Just enough to take the inside edge that carries to the keeper, Ramdin did well to dive to his right and take it with his right hand inches above the ground, he had to change directions - went to his left and then had to go low to his right. A long appeal from the bowler, but de Kock was already walking. de Kock c Ramdin b S Gabriel 6(6) [4s-1]

25.4 - Brathwaite to Behardien, 1 run, in the airrrr and just short of the rushing Fletcher at sweeper cover. Full and shaping away outside off, Behardien slices it uppishy off the outer half, the ball goes in the air to sweeper cover where Fletched dived foward, gets both hands but the ball just bounces into his hands. Good effort!

18.3 - Holder to Behardien, 1 run, drops a sitter, Gabriel the culprit again and Holder is down on his knees in disappointment. Holder bowls it short again and Behardien top-edges the pull to fine leg where Gabriel keeps a wide gap between his palms to put this one down

21.5 - Narine to Parnell, 1 run, And we seem to have a review for LBW out here. Parnell is struck on the pad and the initial on-field decision is NOT OUT. Impact is just in line and the ball seems to be clipping the leg-stump. On-field call stays. It was the knuckle ball from Narine, Parnell was lunging forward and is struck in front of middle and off
