Re: ICC Americas Division One T20 Live Updates: USA vs. Bermuda
The news is that USA has won the toss and elected to field. They did the same thing on Tuesday against Cayman Islands taking good advantage of early morning moisture in the pitch and dew on the outfield. Starting XI's to come shortly.

Re: ICC Americas Division One T20 Live Updates: USA vs. Bermuda
USA is on the field and Lionel Cann has walked out to open with Oronde Bascome. Cann is the leading run scorer in this tournament and has three half-centuries. Adrian Gordon to open the bowling from the Pavilion End for USA, right arm fast medium over the stumps to Cann, a right hand bat. Dot, short ball on the body, goes off the shoulder to short fine leg. FOUR! Full on the legs, flicked with ease high over short fine leg and that's a simple loosener. Massiah comes over to talk to Gordon and he's not happy. Mishra comes over from mid on for some encouragement. Baker at deep square leg moves to long leg as Shah at short fine leg rotates next to the leg umpire. Dot, short of a length on the stumps, defended to point. Dot, good length ball on the stumps, stops in the pitch and Cann punches uppishly into the stumps at the non-striker's end. FOUR! Short and wide, Cann flays it over point and Ghous has no chance coming around on the third man rope. Single, good length on the legs, flicked on the leg side between Shah and George at midwicket. Bermuda 9/0 in 1.

Re: ICC Americas Division One T20 Live Updates: USA vs. Bermuda
Timroy Allen to open from the Park End, right arm off spin to Cann. Deep midwicket and long on the two fielders on the boundary. Five in the off side ring, two on the leg side. Wide, full and way outside off, Cann chases but can't reach. Dot, full outside off, driven to Allen. Dot, full outside off, tapped toward point and Dodson hustles from behind the stumps to field. Dot, full outside off, goes to defend on the back foot and the ball keeps low. This pitch is very two paced early on. Dot, full and defended. Single, full on the legs, clipped toward short fine leg. Bascome on strike for the first time. Dot, full and wide, left alone and fortunate not to be called a wide. Bermuda 11/0 in 2.

Re: ICC Americas Division One T20 Live Updates: USA vs. Bermuda
Gordon to Cann. FOUR! Short and wide again, smacked over the covers for Cann's third boundary. Dot, low full toss on the stumps, clipped to midwicket. Two, full on the stumps, leans forward and drives past Gordon down the ground. Dot, short of a length outside off, goes for another cut and misses. Cann went so hard at that that he appears to have injured himself. He's clutching his right bicep in a bit of pain. Might have a strain but he'll continue. FOUR! Short on the stumps, pulled high over mid on and it clears Allen before just rolling into the rope. Dot, full outside off, driven to cover. That's the length he should be bowling. Bermuda 21/0 in 3.

Re: ICC Americas Division One T20 Live Updates: USA vs. Bermuda
Allen to Bascome. Dot, full outside off, nudged toward mid off but Allen cuts it off. Dot, full on the stumps, driven to Allen. OUT! Full outside off, Bascome was lured out of his crease trying to get off the mark and missed, beaten in flight. Dodson fumbled briefly but Bascome had given up and Dodson gets the bails off in time. Bascome gone for a four-ball duck. Bermuda 21/1 in 3.3 overs. Fiqre Crockwell the new man in, right handed. Dot, full and defended to midwicket. Dot, full and driven to cover. Dot, full outside off, goes to drive and misses. Maiden. Bermuda 21/1 in 4.

Re: ICC Americas Division One T20 Live Updates: USA vs. Bermuda
Allen to Cann. Single, full on the stumps, lofted down the ground to Ghous at long on and he makes a horrendous effort to let that ball fall in front of him. Massiah has hands on hips and Allen is gesturing out to him as well. Cann gets a life on 23. Two days in a row Ghous has been caught sleeping on what should have been a catch on the boundary. Two wides, full and down leg, gets by Dodson and they switch strike. FOUR! Full toss heaved over midwicket. Dot, full and driven to cover. FOUR! Full outside off, driven high over cover and no one is out there on the boundary. Baker finally jogs after it to bring it in. Dot, flighted more outside off, goes to guide it to third man and misses. Dot, good length ball pushed to point. Bermuda 35/1 in 6. Dodson's stumping is now bizarrely being credited as a run out according to orders from the on field umpires.

Re: ICC Americas Division One T20 Live Updates: USA vs. Bermuda
George to Crockwell. Single, full on the legs, clipped through square leg and that's the first run for Bermuda by someone other than Cann. OUT! Full on the legs, Cann goes to paddle sweep and is bowled behind his legs. That's the second time this week he's done that, got out to Canada in embarrassing fashion on Wednesday. He's going to finish as the leading run scorer in this tournament but could have had many more runs had he not tried to be so cute. Cann out for 32, Bermuda 36/2 in 6.2 overs. George now has 12 wickets on the week and is far and away the highest on that list. David Hemp, the captain comes in, left hand bat. Dot, full outside off, keeps low and punched off the back foot to midwicket. Single, full on off stump, clipped past Massiah at midwicket who gives an awkward diving effort, should have been stopped. Single, full outside off, pushed to Mishra at mid on and they take him on for a sharp run. Direct hit would have been tight but he missed. Dot, short outside off, cross batted back to George. Bermuda 38/2 in 7.

Re: ICC Americas Division One T20 Live Updates: USA vs. Bermuda
Allen to Crockwell. Two, full toss pulled through midwicket and it's cut off by Patel on the boundary. Dot, low full toss driven to Massiah at midwicket. Single, full and driven to long off. Single, low full toss outside off stroked to Ghous at long off. Dot, full on the stumps, pushed to midwicket. Dot, fullish length outside off, keeps low again and goes under Crockwell's drive. Bermuda 42/2 in 8. Allen finishes officially 4-1-17-0. Should have had a wicket stumped but for some reason it's been given run out to Dodson.

Re: ICC Americas Division One T20 Live Updates: USA vs. Bermuda
George to bowl his last over of the week, facing Hemp. Shuja is on as a sub fielder for Orlando Baker. Dot, full and defended to midwicket. Single, full and driven to long on. Dot, short of a length and punched to cover. Two, full and wide, driven past a diving Massiah at cover and Allen has to cover a lot of ground from long off to field. OUT! Fullish on the stumps, went to drive off the back foot and kept a little low, clean bowled. George has 13 wickets, almost all of them either bowled or LBW. Fantastic week for him with the ball. Crockwell out for 9, Bermuda 51/3 in 10.5 overs. Dennico Hollis is the new man in, right hander. Silly point comes into place and Nadkarni was already there at slip. Dot, full on the stumps, defended. George finishes with 13 wickets on the week. Figures of 4-0-12-1 today. Bermuda 51/3 in 11.
