Pooran’s innings was a slowpoke for the first few overs. Having ambled to 9 off 21, he pulled an Ali Khan bouncer for six to get going. Then, he briefly went silent again, but when Russell took two-in-two in the 12th over, leaving them at 76/5 at the end of it, Pooran was left with Romario Shepherd (20) to effect a turnaround. They briefly did so, until Shepherd became Russell’s fourth victim.
