Keemo Paul to Rohit Sharma, out Caught by Jewel Andrew!! Rohit departs eight short of a well deserved century. West Indies finally manage to catch one. Wasn’t an easy catch, but Jewel managed to hang on to it with a dive to his left. Was back of a length delivery from Keemo Paul. It skidded on the surface and made it hard for Rohit to time the pull. Came off the bottom as the bat twisted in his hand. Jewel at deep mid-wicket settles under a skier and takes a good judged catch. He ensured the ball didn’t pop when his elbow hit the ground by closing his fingers on the ball. Rohit Sharma c Jewel Andrew b Keemo Paul 92(85) [4s-10 6s-3]
