9pm: Oh-oh, it was pretty clear before, but the clouds came barging in uninvited. It's raining now and we have a delay
The innings was highlighted by a pitch-perfect, sublime ton from Saim Ayub, who played shots all around the park; straight lofted drives, no-look shots towards the square-leg region, and some lovely drives and sweeps. He didn't put a foot wrong. On a bowling-friendly pitch that offered movement early on, Ayub was the standout, with no other innings of real note. Keemo Paul did well towards the end, providing the impetus with a 13-ball 25, while Rovman Powell chipped in as well. Naseem Shah wreaked havoc with the new ball, Wanindu Hasaranga was very tidy and picked up a couple of wickets, while Obed McCoy got two as well but leaked over 10 runs an over.
