    61.6 the angle and extra bounce does Brathwaite in! He falls 15 short of a century. Sliding across off from round the wicket, Brathwaite aimed to steer it past slip. The ball takes the front glove on its way to Smith at slip 158/5

    4.3 WI lose Hope. He nicks behind now. Similar ball outside off, moves away off the seam with a hint of extra bounce, leaving the batsman pushing and edging. Encouraging carry to Nevill. Hazlewood, who went wicketless in the Boxing Day Test, strikes in his third over here 13/1

    34.4 Patto breaks the stand with a well-directed short ball. His frontfoot is fine. Banged in, attacking the chest of Bravo with extra pace and bounce. He takes his eyes off the ball as he pulls with a top edge. Khawaja runs in from deep backward square leg and snaffles it 104/2

    41.3 terrible, terrible running from Samuels. He is upset at his junior partner, though. There was no single there, a dismissal that sums up Samuels' woes. This one slides on, chopped straight to backward point, and Samuels calls/half-calls, setting off. He stops in the middle of the pitch, Brathwaite had dropped his bat onto the pitch, slipping, before recovering, and running back to the safe end. Hazlewood throws the ball to Nevill who takes the bails off. Samuels, meanwhile, throws a stare at Brathwaite before exiting. There was absolutely no single there 115/3

    49.4 Knocked'em over. Rips back in, some extra bounce, and hits the top of off. What a peach and Lyon has reward to show for. Length and turns sharply from miles outside off. Blackwood misjudged it, offering no stroke. He did not expect the ball to do that much 131/4

    102.4 edged and Smith takes a sharp catch! O'Keefe held this back outside off, Ramdin is lured into throwing his bat at it. Flashing outside edge, and Smith dives to his right and completes an excellent overhead catch 296/8

    64.3 Burns takes a superb one-handed catch and is mobbed by his team-mates! He bends low to his right and snaps it up at short leg. First Test wicket at home for O'Keefe. Full and drifts into middle and leg, clipped off by Holder... but Burns swoops and pouches it. Plenty of pats and slaps on the helmet 159/6

    85.5 bowled'em! Take that, pace like fire... Patto has his man now! He lets out a big roar.. His frontfoot is okay. Full and swings away late at 144.4ks, Carlos is squared up, plays across the line, and Patto knocks back the off stump. Carlos gone for 69 off 71 balls 246/7

    103.1 tossed up and spins back in appreciably from outside off, Roach plays back and offers a bat-pad catch to Burns at short leg. Good extra bounce, there, as well. This is a dolly catch 300/9
