- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 got him! That's a superb take from Gayle. Strauss went for a hook but it was too quick and he skied it over the slips. But Gayle, running back 10 or 11 paces, took a fine catch over his head 15/16.4 that is awful from Bopara. Excellent bowling, mind - nice, quick and aggressive and Bopara tried to hook it but it got big on him. The ball made its limp, feeble way straight to mid-on 17/212.1 short, Pietersen climbs into the hook with two men back. Pollard is under a swirling skier, takes it with aplomb, and now England are in deep, deep doo-doo 41/313.3 short, wide, slapped ... straight to backward point! A nothing sort of shot from Shah and he's paid the price, as Darren Sammy swoops low with his big hands. 42/418.5 massive appeal, looked to be swinging late, and potentially down the leg-side, but very full indeed. Bucknor ponders for an age, which is always a worry for the batsman, and sure enough, up goes the finger! 54/614.6 short, leg-sided, Flintoff has a swish, and whaddaya know, he's lofted it straight to Fidel Edwards at fine leg! 43/524.3 oh that is truly village. Short and wide and slapped straight to point. Thoughtless stroke 68/741.3 goes for a hook but top-edges it to the running square leg - another hook shot goes all wrong for England 117/1024.5 got him! A little off-cutter which squares up Broad, whose feet were firmly concreted, and it scooted through low to the keeper 68/840.2 terrific catch by Sammy, diving at extra cover as Batty's extravagant heave is mistimed 116/9Extras19 (b 8, lb 1, w 10)TOTAL117 all out (41.3 Overs, RR: 2.81)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Andrew Strauss, 6.2 ov), 2-17 (Ravi Bopara, 6.4 ov), 3-41 (Kevin Pietersen, 12.1 ov), 4-42 (Owais Shah, 13.3 ov), 5-43 (Andrew Flintoff, 14.6 ov), 6-54 (Paul Collingwood, 18.5 ov), 7-68 (Matt Prior, 24.3 ov), 8-68 (Stuart Broad, 24.5 ov), 9-116 (Gareth Batty, 40.2 ov), 10-117 (Dimitri Mascarenhas, 41.3 ov)
