Keacy Carty’s second ODI century and Matthew Forde’s record-equalling fifty

(ESPNCRICNFO) – WEST Indies marched to a mammoth total of 352 for 8 on the back of Keacy Carty’s second ODI century and Matthew Forde’s record-equalling fifty as they looked to level the three-match series against Ireland, but the second ODI was washed out as rain didn’t allow Ireland’s chase to begin.

Ireland sent West Indies in under slightly overcast conditions. The West Indies openers, Brandon King and Evin Lewis, got going with boundaries through the off side but Barry McCarthy, who took four wickets in the first game, drew the outside edge from King to give Ireland the first breakthrough.

The first bowling change also worked for Ireland as Lewis drove Josh Little straight to cover point in the bowler’s first over.

Hope and Carty then rebuilt for West Indies, ensuring there wasn’t a repeat of the top-order collapse they suffered in the first ODI, as they rotated strike well with quick singles and doubles amid the odd boundary.

Looks like there will be a little delay here while they offer aid to the camera person. The West Indies batters are still out in the middle while a lot of Irish players have run over to the long-off region in concern. Applause rings around the ground as the cameraman gets back on his feet.

According to live broadcast commentators, Joe, the cameraman
in the long off area was struck on the head and collapsed, fell backward.
The players appear anxious, as the umpire walks towards the boundary ropes. The good news is that he is conscious and can communicate. Medical personnel are still responding to the issue, and the players' faces are still worried.
