Innocent Kaia 43(57)
16.2
Motie to Kaia, out Caught by Joshua Da Silva!! Gone this time! Must say that Kaia has thrown it away here. Premeditating against the spinner on a turning surface is a recipe for disaster and Motie uses his smarts to get his man. Went slightly wide of the crease and looped this in, Kaia had decided that he will sweep at everything and has a go at this but it spins away off the pitch to catch the top edge. A slight bobble from Joshua Da Silva but he holds onto the catch off the rebound. Just the kind of start West Indies were seeking. Kaia c Joshua Da Silva b Motie 43(57) [4s-7]
