| 6.3 to Barath, 116.1 kph, it's all coming apart for the Windies top order, another one goes, short of a length, moving away, could be left alone, but he has got too close to the line by that shuffling movement, standing almost outside off and pushes at it, away from the body, with an open face too, guides it neatly in to fourth slip's hands, Virat has ages to accept the gift as it loops towards him, India celebrate 10/2 82.3 to Baugh, 123.5 kph, PK has struck with the new ball, soft dismissal for Baugh, he is furious with himself, he came forward, followed the away swing, and reached out to push hard in the air, shortish extra cover accepts the dolly 223/6 |
| 5.3 to Powell, 137.5 kph, he cannot survive this time though, Ishant angles it across the left-hander, he just hangs his bat at it from the crease, a result of the previous bouncer, and Raina does the rest at third slip, nice catchable height to him 8/1 |
| 18.2 to Bravo, 88.2 kph, Bravo is gone, the man who has shown such fight in his previous two innings, he tries to smash a fullish ball from Harbhajan towards long-off, he can't connect well enough, the ball swirls towards Praveen at wide mid-off, the fielder latches on it, West Indies are now 40 for 3 40/3 74.3 to KA Edwards, 88.9 kph, and finally, Bhajji gets his man, and Kirk has to walk back, end of a magnificent debut century, what composure, what guts to fight it out, was prepared to play ugly initially, pats on the back from Bhajji, Munaf and Ishant for Kirk, the opposition bowlers show their appreciation, he went back to a spinning ball but edged the attempted cut to Dhoni 201/4 74.6 to Samuels, 92.5 kph, Harbhajan gets another, is that missing off, it was a very confident appeal, even flatter and even quicker, speared in on the stumps, Samuels was caught in the crease and on the pads, this time umpire Kettleborough has a long look and agrees with Bhajji, but it did not turn in enough and would have just missed off stump 201/5 92.2 to Sammy, 83.0 kph, that's the length, Sammy is gone, the Harbhajan-and-short-leg combination, Sammy is not happy at all, it was tossed up much fuller, drew him forward finally, and Harbhajan got the bounce he gets usually, but did it take some bat or glove on its way to short leg is the question? The bat does not look to be anywhere close to the line of the ball, took the flap of the front pad on its way in to his body and lobbed to the fielder, another West Indies batsman done in by the umpire 255/7 |
| 129.5 to FH Edwards, 83.7 kph, the long resistance is finally over, Raina tosses it up full, Fidel for once decides to indulge himself and has a go at it, just gets it to loop in the air to PK at long off, PK bangs the ball in to the ground, Fidel kicks the air in frustration, Shiv is not pleased, Fidel gets an ovation as he walks back and acknowledges the applause 321/9 131.3 to Bishoo, that is a superb take at slip by Rahul, Shiv's strategy of letting Bishoo face hasn't worked, it was tossed up and turning away, Bishoo decided to slash it from the crease and the edge fled to Dravid's right, but how smoothly he moved and snapped up the ball nonchalantly 322/10 |
