Blackwood slams 46-ball fifty to rally WI after a horror start
July 30, 2016  22:12


WI 73-3 (21 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Blackwood flicks Yadav through midwicket for two runs to raise the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket with Samuels from 76 balls. The right-hander was the major contributor in the stand having made 41 from 40 balls, while Samuels chipped in with seven runs from 36 balls.

Mishra bowls an unplayable delivery to Samuels, the big turning leg spinner which turns big to beat the right-hander who comes forward to defend.

The last ball is the googly which turns the other way and Samuels looks to cut but somehow defends it on the off-side.

Yadav overpitches slightly and Blackwood hammers it down the ground past mid-off for a four. The pacer tries a short ball which the right-hander turns to fine leg for a single.

Yadav tries a few short balls to Samuels who is content to duck under it as West Indies reach 66 for three in 20 overs.

Blackwood hammers Mishra back over his head for another straight six to bring up his fifty in grand style, from just 46 balls. This has been quite an entertaining counter-attack from the young right-hander who failed to score in both the innings in the first Test.
