00:00We're all set for this second one day international.
00:15Barry McCarthy is the new ball in hand. He'll be bowling to Brandon King.
00:20Starts with a gentle delivery outside the off stump. King opening the batting with Evan Lewis.
00:28Stylish way to get the West Indies going. That's an authoritative stroke from Brandon King.
00:34Finds the gap in between cover and mid-off.
00:39Evan Lewis can play the most glorious stroke you could ever imagine to your very first delivery.
00:45Just a punch off the back foot.
00:47Going to be four more. Lewis has started with real style here.
00:54Beats the diving George Dockrell at cover. This looks a quick outfield at Klontarf with the good weather we've been having.
01:00Four more.
01:04Destructive again from Lewis. That's outstanding batting. Three boundaries in the over. 12 from it.
01:10West Indies. 16 for Nunn.
01:14Edged and gone. And it's again. Big Barry McCarthy who strikes.
01:20And Andy Balbirni says, come to me big man. That's much more like it. The perfect length. And the dream away swing dismissal.
01:31It's off the pad of Evan Lewis. It's going to race to the rope. Very, very small margins there, isn't it? Straight up the ground.
01:39And the North West.
01:41That's a stand and deliver pull shot on the front foot very much. He just picks the gap with consummate ease. That's a beautiful first boundary for Casey Carty.
01:53That's a cracking shot. Little just pitching a little short. And Evan Lewis onto it very sharply.
02:04Catch taken by Dockrell. A sharp catch. Josh Little. A little movement away from Evan Lewis.
02:10Who flashes. Flashes hard. Catches the outside half at the bat. And Dockrell there. Well positioned to take a brilliant catch.
02:17Lewis departs for 20.
02:22Well, a maiden over was in the making. And that final stroke from Casey Carty denies Barry McCarthy that milestone. To the crease.
02:33That looked solid. Two chasing. The ball is going to win the race to the rope.
02:41Race continues. A little bit of width. And Hope just prods it through the offside. And it races all the way to the boundary.
02:48That's a relatively quick outfield here at Klontaf that will get faster as the day progresses.
02:5311 white ball matches for those two countries. And that's going to scoot away for four.
03:00Played beautifully off his legs, Shea Hope.
03:06You see Carty with an expansive stroke. And that's going to go over the infield in a way.
03:11Into the boundary cushions.
03:17The 50 partnership with a fine boundary. When they're at the crease. Shot. And that's gone into the boundary cushion all the way, I think.
03:28And that's a glorious stroke. Came down the wicket. And a big six. Launched by Shea Hope. Not to be outdone by Carty on the opposite end.
03:41He wanted to bowl. This one's driven through the covers. It's going to get to the rope. Possibly not the greatest effort from Liam McCarthy.
03:51I think felt as though he was getting there quicker than he did. Hooked away. Very nearly. Hooked all the way. Just one bounce right in front of the rope.
04:04Well fielded out there, sir. Going out into the middle. Is there an edge? Oh, yes, there is. Doesn't even wait for the decision.
04:14He turns and walks off. Just looking to run one down to deep third. And it's a maiden international wicket for Liam McCarthy.
04:22Just like Tom Mays. The first one he got next to his name was Shea Hope. So too now. Liam McCarthy. Six foot.
04:31And that is that bounce that causes the problems. And Carty lucky to get away with this. That could have gone anywhere.
04:37It skews off the outside edge and flies for four. Pumped. Absolutely pumped. Stand and deliver from Casey Carty.
04:47That's a really impressive stroke. For me today. This is whipped into the offside and going to be guided away for more runs.
04:56As Maywell travel all the way. It does. An outstanding stroke.
05:02Taking on McCarthy in this over. And he's really taking them apart. It's the biggest over in the innings thus far as West Indies continue to grow.
05:13And things are starting to look very ominous now. Carlos Brathwaite.
05:19As this goes over the head of mid off. It's slightly longer down to that corner. But it will still race for four.
05:26And it brings up 50 partnership. It feels like in a heartbeat.
05:33Speared in but it's cut away with aplomb. McCarthy can't cut that one off. Casey Carty has paced this innings so wonderfully Carlos. He moves into the 80s now.
05:44George Dockrell returns to the attack and strikes. What a piece of captaincy from Paul Sterling. And it's him who takes the catch. Dockrell again in the wickets.
05:57As this is driven and driven elegantly through the covers. It's going to race to the rope.
06:05Well that's one of the shots of the day from Casey Carty. He just lent on that.
06:09Hooked away and well just one bounce again. It flies to the rope. We've seen real profit from Casey Carty.
06:20Driven down the ground. And it's very short up there. Mays won't be able to cut it off. Only 54 metres.
06:29And the 200 comes up with consecutive boundaries from Casey Carty.
06:42And he comes back for a second. Casey Carty.
06:46A majestic knock from the man from St. Martin.
06:55Applauded, adored and enjoyed by all. Here and at home. A sensational knock.
07:06Well that's beautifully played. Graves loves to play his strokes.
07:10It's taken the edge. And that is it. The end of Casey Carty's innings.
07:19It's been a marvellous innings. His second tonne. But a big one here for West Indies that has set them up brilliantly.
07:27Chase early in his innings going over the top. And that's going to have a couple of bounces over the head of Josh Little.
07:36That is swept away powerfully. One bounce past Tom Mays. And into the pavilion.
07:46Instead he'll turn to Barry McCarthy. Who immediately strikes and what an excellent catch.
07:55Both of the ball and the sunglasses from Ireland's multi-talented captain Paul Sterling.
08:01Slapped away. And that's going to be all the way.
08:10Ford has a reputation as a very dangerous power hitter towards the end of the order.
08:15He played very well in the first ODI.
08:17This one's obliterated. It's only 54 metres up there and it soars over the rope.
08:26This is the perfect time of the innings for Matthew Ford to come in. And he's already cashing in.
08:35Hooks this one a long way. Well it's just the fifth sixth of the innings and feels like three of them have come to Matthew Ford in a flash.
08:44Pace off. It is pace off but Ford answers in rather audacious style.
08:51He doesn't even look at it. He turns and signals to his teammates that he is ticking.
08:59Goes again. This goes a mile up. Tom Mays runs back over his shoulder.
09:04Not going to get there. And it's another maximum. It's the fourth of the over.
09:09Innovation now. He's simply toying with this Irish attack.
09:16Might be just one bounce just in front of the rope.
09:20Looks to repeat the dose and repeat it he does. And this time I think it's going to go all the way.
09:25Make that six sixes from just twelve deliveries.
09:28That's going to be the 50 partnership that has come up in a matter of moments.
09:36Graves gets in on the act now as he pumps that one down the ground.
09:43Pumped it out of the ground. He stands on the brink of history. Does Matthew Ford.
09:48Oh yes he can. And in what style. In the history of nearly 5,000 one day internationals.
10:00Nobody has made one quicker than Matthew Ford who joins AB de Villiers in getting there off just 16 deliveries.
10:07It's been a knock of sumptuous class and quality. No shortage of power either. And he just continues along his merry way.
10:18Pulls him. He's equaled a world record here today. But that's a crucial breakthrough and fight back from Ireland.
10:28Liam McCarthy has his third. Just hooked away. And it's going to be hooked all the way.
10:36We've seen some remarkable stroke play and now Graves who's been very much batting in his shell. He too gets in on the act.
10:47Hit down the ground and hit for four.
10:51Steady goes short and it's given the royal treatment.
10:56Graves is very much playing his hand.
11:02This one comes right out of the screws and I think it's going to be deposited down into one of the gardens.
11:11What a shot this is. Glorious.
11:14Maybe one of the shots of the day. I think it's embedded itself in the roof of the Castle Avenue Pavilion.
11:19Instead it's the perfect Yorker. No celebration at all from Josh Little.
11:28His most expensive ever figures in ODI cricket will at least have a second wicket next to his name.
11:33He'll finish with two for 89. But West Indies have all the momentum despite that bullseye Yorker from Josh Little.
11:41Yeah, this is why he's bought in French cricket all around the world, Josh Little.
