    9.5 no doubts about this one! Roach did well to pitch this in line with the stumps, the ball straightened, skidded through and struck him in front of the stumps, Latham was not quick enough to get his bat behind the line and an easy decision 28/2

    3.6 he chips it to mid-on! Roach tempts him to play on the up by pitching it up on middle and leg, he was looking for the on drive and it lobbed towards Chanderpaul who took it comfortably at mid-on 17/1

    28.2 the slip comes into play finally for Benn, reward for turn and bounce, Williamson was forced on the back foot to fend that off, he had to play at it, edge went to Bravo at first slip and he takes it easily 102/3

    31.4 Big Benn shows he can dive...again! Roach strikes again, this time he squares up Taylor with extra bounce, it was gaining on Taylor's midriff and he was forced to fend it off, lobbed up off the top of the bat and Benn had to move quickly to his right at gully, timed his dive to perfection and plucked it one-handed 114/4

    40.1 on of the more comical dismissals of the series surely! Benn's extra bounce has been a handful at times today, McCullum's choice of shot was strange to say the least, he was looking to fetch that from outside off and flick it to the leg side, bounced more and he got a top edge that swirled and was taken by first slip, it went so high up in the air that Bravo really had to wait for paint to dry before that settled on his palms 168/5

    65.5 Trouble at the bowler's end and West Indies aren't sure if Neesham was short of his crease or not, he gets forward and softly pushes the ball towards short cover, sets off, hesitates and then continues with the run, Brathwaite runs from point and picks up and fires the throw to Shillingford who breaks the stumps, Neesham is inches short 258/8

    42.5 this has been Benn's session! Benn didn't have to rely on bounce for this one, he tossed it up and was fuller, relied on turn and he drew Watling forward and the outside edge went off the shoulder of the bat and went low and slowly to Gayle at first slip 172/6

    1.6 what have you done. Latham?! Miscues a pull and offers a dolly to midwicket. Kicks the turf as he walks off. That is a very soft dismissal. Dug in short and the batsman was instinctive on the pull. Poor decision considering the ball was angled across him again. Gets it off the splice and that's all she wrote 1/1

    14.3 the change of ends works for Roach, credit to the bowler for pitching it on the right spot, over the wicket, on the off stump and moves away slightly, Rutherford was circumspect with his footwork and he poked his bat out and a thick outside edge to Ramdin 56/2

    18.1 and Holder strikes first ball! And that was a loose shot from Taylor, short of a length outside off, Taylor was pinned to the back foot, poked his bat out but only managed a thick outside edge straight to Bravo at second slip and that was also his first Test wicket 68/3

Southee the bowler this time and he bowled it full and wide outside off, set up the trap by pitching it up and tempting him to drive, he went beside the line and drove on the up and found Williamson who held it easily, the extra men on the off side was meant to get him to drive and it worked 129/6
