Ireland vs West Indies, 2nd ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

17:20 Local Time, 16:20 GMT, 21:50 IST: The umpires had a chat with one of the ground official and have made their way back. They shook hands with that official before heading off. Is it a sign? Now they are at the sidelines. Few more shake of the hands with the umpires. Stirling and Hope getting together now. We will know soon.

17:12 Local Time, 16:12 GMT, 21:42 IST: The umbrella is missing despite the official standing besides the 22 yards. It means only one thing. No rain now. The Super Soppers at it again. They are moving in circles across the length and breadth of the ground. So much water must have accumulated at various places. Hence, this is going to be tough. We still have time to go for the cut-off period.

And now the super soppers have vanished from the scene. This game of hide and seek refusing to stop.

17:01 Local Time, 16:01 GMT, 21:31 IST: It is looking much brighter indeed compared to the gloom we have had in the last couple of hours. It is still overcast though which makes it a little disconcerting. But we will see the glass half full rather than half empty. And hopefully will have some positive news very soon.

16:53 Local Time, 15:53 GMT, 21:23 IST: Another super sopper has come in. It is doing rounds. And can spot one official with his umbrella venturing out to have a look. We will consider this as positive news.

16:49 Local Time, 15:49 GMT, 21:19 IST: Can spot a super sopper doing rounds over the sheets. I guess puddles have been created over the sheets. The rain hasn't stopped though. But keep your spirits high as the super sopper working out there means they have hope and we will cling to every straw possible.

16:30 Local Time, 15:30 GMT, 21:00 IST: The covers are firmly put. The drizzle is on. The wait is on. Grab some coffee. Put your feet up and relax.

15:42 Local Time, 14:42 GMT, 20:12 IST: Nothing much to update. The rain continues to fall and the covers are firmly in place. "They are not going to get 50 overs," informs former Ireland Women's captain Isobel Joyce. We need 20 overs to constitute a game in ODIs.

15:05 Local Time, 14:05 GMT, 19:35 IST: Not great news. It is still raining and the pitch is under covers. More covers are coming on now.. "It is not heavy. But it is coming down. Enough to prevent the start," says the on air comm. Hope it passes soon and we get underway. For now the chase is delayed..

14:36 Local Time, 13:36 GMT, 19:06 IST: What an end to the innings! 125 runs came off the last 10 overs all thanks to Matthew Forde. He smashed the joint fastest fifty in ODIs and propelled West Indies past 300. Early on the openers fell cheaply but Keacy Carty and Shai Hope steadied the innings with a 81-run partnership. After the departure of the skipper, Carty took over the mantle and brought up a well-compiled hundred, his second in ODIs and that set-up the platform for the likes of Forde and Greaves. Forde came out firing and it was absolute carnage as he scored 56 out of his 58 runs in boundaries. Greaves and Motie finished things off and West Indies have posted a massive total. This is going to take some chasing for the home side. We are seeing little rain drops and the pitch being covered. Hopefully it is not a long delay and we start on time. Back soon with more updates..

Joshua Little to Motie, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! But Motie has done his job of taking West Indies past 350. Little has suffered a lot and does not celebrate. He finally gets the yorker and Motie can't do much about it, he tries to drive it into the off-side but the ball sneaks under his bat before crashing into the base of off-stump. Motie b Joshua Little 18(8) [6s-2]

Joshua Little to Motie, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Joshua Little to Motie, SIX, 350 is up. Motie having some fun now. Back of a length outside off, Motie has the width and he makes the most of it, flays it into the off-side and sends it sailing outside the ground. Another change of ball and it must be the 5th or 6th ball change..

Joshua Little to Motie, SIX, can they get to 350? Motie picks the slower short of length delivery and launches it over deep mid-wicket. HE waits for the ball to arrive and then pummels it well beyond the rope

Joshua Little to Justin Greaves, 1 run, off-pace delivery, Greaves is early into the heave and toe-ends it to long-on

Joshua Little to Justin Greaves, no run, slower ball angled across, Greaves swings across the line and does not connect

Joshua Little to Motie, 1 run, short of length delivery, Motie pulls to deep mid-wicket

McCarthy to Justin Greaves, 2 runs, slower ball outside off, Greaves drives in front of square and picks up a brace

McCarthy to Justin Greaves, FOUR, back to back fours. Short and bowled into the wicket, Greaves smashes the pull in front of square and beats the deep mid-wicket fielder comfortably, one bounce and over the ropes

McCarthy to Justin Greaves, FOUR, full pitcher around off, Greaves drives it down the ground and gives the fielders in the deep no chance
