- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 slower ball at 115 kph on a good length on fifth stump, King struggles to keep the hands back playing a cut and checks a tame shot to Allen on the ring at backward point taken at chest height. Naseem pays tribute to Cottrell on the boundary by giving a military salute to celebrate the wicket! 33/111.3 right through him! Da Silva is celebrating as if they've won the match, he's pumped up. Jaggesar smartly slows the ball down, pitches it on length, and Hemraj plays down the wrong line completely, wanting to push it down to long-on even though the ball went on to strike middle stump through the bat-pad gap 95/47.2 Shoaib telegraphs his charge a half-second too early. Jaggesar slants this quicker and drags the length back across him on fifth stump. Shoaib nowhere near getting to the pitch and flails in vain. Simple stumping for Da Silva. 59/210.2 holes out deep backward square leg! That's the big wicket of Pooran for 26. Drakes bangs in a short ball into the batter who pivots on the back foot for a pull but finds the man in the deep. Straightforward catch for Lewis 88/312.6 88.9kmh, darts it in quicker, goes straight with the arm and hits the stumps! Smith goes back dangerously for the much shorter ball from just outside off, and the ball nips in just enough to beat his cut and hit the top of stumps 104/515.3 141kmh, right in the block hole at the base of middle stump. Waqar Younis will be proud of that, Naseem. It had speed, accuracy and some late swing as well as Bramble stayed back to dig it out, but it sneaked through under the bat. What a sight it is to see a yorker like that 129/615.6 it's a direct hit at the non-striker's end, Naseem thinks it's out, the crowd is excited, Shepherd is walking back already! He drove the slow and full cutter from outside off to the right of mid-off, and Bravo swooped in, picked it up in a flash and had a shy at the stumps before Shepherd could stretch and make it back 131/716.3 is this a Test match or what? He's caught at short leg. Oh my, replays show he had not hit it at all. On length on middle, Sinclair closed the face of the bat to turn it leg, the ball lobbed off the front pad before being caught at short leg. They all go up, so does the finger, but there was no edge 131/818.6 what a catch from Rutherford in the deep! but looks like he's hurt himself as well while diving for it. The umpires go up for the replays and the soft signal is out. Naveen pulled the short ball away into the leg side, and Rutherford sprinted towards the ball from the boundary, from deep midwicket, and on first replay it looks like he might have got his fingers under the ball. I'll concede that it's not 100% clear that the ball didn't touch the ground at all as the fingers came under it, but there's no evidence to overturn the decision for sure.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 the gymnastics backflip routine is out on the pitch! Full on off, Gayle charges but mistimes a lofted drive for long-on and picks out Hetmyer two yards in from the rope, catch taken in the breadbasket. Sinclair is off with flip after flip after flip, sticking the landing again and again. 76/115.3 uproots middle and leg stumps! Bravo was way outside off for the last few balls, and Smith, from around the wicket, just aimed for the stumps. Bravo swung big and missed it completely 164/215.5 pulled straight to leg gully, Smith gets one more! Short ball again, as expected, and it might be the angle Smith is creating that troubled Allen. He got into an awkward position to pull and handed it straight to Hetmyer 164/3Extras17 (b 4, lb 2, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL181/3 (17.5 Overs, RR: 10.14)Fall of wickets: 1-76 (Chris Gayle, 7.2 ov), 2-164 (Dwayne Bravo, 15.3 ov), 3-164 (Fabian Allen, 15.5 ov)
