- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 Smith falls! Early end again. he bowls this one with a scrambled seam and gets it to dart into the batsman.. Smith didn't expect that. It hits his thigh and rattles the stumps. It did grip the surface there 10/110.5 he is caught at the boundary! So calmly taken by Anderson at the edge.. We have seen these second-attempt-lobbed-catches so many times that it all seems too routine now.. He catches it, falls out of the boundary, but he remembers to lob it in.. calmly walks in and completes the catch..Simmons was looking to slog it to the stands 76/218.2 a bolt from Boult! Fires a full delivery on the pads and Fletcher falls over, loses his leg stump.. Wonder why he didn't try that first up 147/513.3 the captain gets a wicket! Bravo moves away to the leg side, gets a quickish delivery, looks to flay it through covers but makes no connection.. That drop has just cost 10 runs.. 98/317.2 quick short ball! This is a mighty well taken HOKEY POKEY! Polly gets a taste of his own medicine! The batsman pulled this one fine, Boult, running backwards from deep midwicket takes a one-hander, off his left-hand.. but he is falling backwards.. He doesn't go against the nature.. Lobs the ball back in.. falls behind the boundary, then comes back and dives in to complete the catch.. what a stinger! 126/418.4 he doesn't time this one and it doesn't hit the meat of the bat either! Boult gets his second as Sammy looks for a six but only gets it to long-on as this hits his bat high 148/6Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL165/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.25)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Dwayne Smith, 2.1 ov), 2-76 (Lendl Simmons, 10.5 ov), 3-98 (Darren Bravo, 13.3 ov), 4-126 (Kieron Pollard, 17.2 ov), 5-147 (Andre Fletcher, 18.2 ov), 6-148 (Daren Sammy, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.2 this one has gone through! Big offcutter that darts in sharply into the batsman, surprises Williamson, it hits the thigh pad and drops on to his stumps. Pollard sets off on a celebratory run, keeping his finger firmly on his lips.. Big breakthrough 82/31.3 another edge, this one is straight to point! Neesham's feet are rooted to the crease and he must be gutted that all he can do to this full toss is get an edge.. Big leading edge that flies straight to point. Cottrell gives the salute.. Neesham experiment not yielding the desired results till now 8/15.2 shorter but what have you done Baz! He gets all the power that he wanted behind that, but he hits it straight to the cover fielder.. What a waste! 40/212.3 that has castled him! Taylor has been shuffling to the off side to deal with the turn - in and out, but he had no answers to this ripper.. Flat and quick outside off, it changes direction on pitching and sneaks through the defences to knock back the off stump..it actually takes the glove on its way 88/417.1 superb catch! Sammy, the rubber man, is too good in the outfield.. Anderson drives it towards the long-on boundary, but Sammy covers a lot of ground to his right and dives to complete the catch.. he makes it look simple 116/716.1 fuller and Ronchi books a ticket to the pavilion! He looks for the big hit but doesn't get the timing, slicing it long off where Russell is present 113/516.5 this could be a wicket! Anderson said NO the moment Watling set off with this dab to cover, Sammy doesn't waste time and fires an underarm flick.. Watling dives but it's to no avail as Ramdin takes off the bails.. He is well out here.. So Watling was impatient.. only to his detriment though 116/617.6 another wicket for Cottrell, another chance to salute everyone! this was a yorker wide outside off and Latham has steered it straight into Bravo's hand at backward point..Bravo Lieutenant Cottrell! 120/818.6 walks way over to the off side, laps it up but can only give Cottrell another chance to salute.. He takes a simple catch at short fine leg 126/919.1 this is a direct hit from point! Darren Bravo may have sealed the win as he takes down the stumps at the non-striker's end.. West Indies draw the series with an emphatic win here in Dominica 126/10Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL126 all out (19.1 Overs, RR: 6.57)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (James Neesham, 1.3 ov), 2-40 (Brendon McCullum, 5.2 ov), 3-82 (Kane Williamson, 11.2 ov), 4-88 (Ross Taylor, 12.3 ov), 5-113 (Luke Ronchi, 16.1 ov), 6-116 (BJ Watling, 16.5 ov), 7-116 (Corey Anderson, 17.1 ov), 8-120 (Tom Latham, 17.6 ov), 9-126 (Tim Southee, 18.6 ov), 10-126 (Trent Boult, 19.1 ov)
