    6.5 soft dismissal! gets under a short delivery and upper-cuts, but doesn't put much power into the shot, just helps it along, and it ends up down Nikita Miller's throat at third man. Roach is kicked, does a windmill celebration, and kisses the West Indies badge on his shirt 34/2

    0.5 silly running and good work by Roach, out goes Sibanda! Masakadza has dropped this one at his feet, and is called through by Sibanda, but Roach is quick, gets a good bounce, and flicks a direct hit before the Sibanda dive can get him in. Poor call for the run so early on 6/1

    45.1 big wicket at this time of the game! Elton is gone, the man who could hit the quick runs in the end. Goes for the big shot over the covers, the length is right to go for it, but it's that slight extra pace for Roach and he ends up lobbing it to cover-point 183/7

    41.5 one big shot too many! Cremer has got the big wicket! Gayle charges down the wicket, doesn't get close to the pitch of the ball, ends up swinging outside the line and is bowled, but it's been a superb knock on a testing wicket 168/5

    44.3 he has hit it into the lap of long-on, poor shot! long-on is one of the three fielders outside and he has picked him. Gayle - in the players' lobby, with the pads still on - has a furious look on his face. Don't go anywhere near the skipper, boys! 187/6
