Welcome back. A short break between innings. Again Matthews and Joseph to open. Mair to start off. No catchers behind the wickets.
Bates: Not much of a breeze out there. The wicket was holding a little bit so we didn't get our timing early on. But Georgia pushed through, and the innings and Izzy to get us over the 120-mark is going to be crucial. But anything can happen with this WI side. We've got to keep taking wickets. There's enough in the wicket to help us bowl the WI out. It's never nice. Sometimes when that happens, cricket always takes a back seat (Henry incident). Best wishes to her. Hope she recovers. When we get out there, we're going to be competing hard and see how she is after the game. This wicket, we know any total is defendable. We've got the runs on the board. In semifinal cricket, anything can happen.

19:42 Local Time, 15:42 GMT, 21:12 IST: West Indies look content as they walk back in. Just 30 off the last 5 overs and New Zealand have got a below-par score here. This pitch is not very slow or sticky or too tough to time the ball.
