    12.5 a huge shout as Watson walks right across his stumps - something he's been favouring this innings - and the ball comes in , pitching just outside off and rapping him in line with leg, Watson too late on the would-be flick off the legs 75/1

    48.1 a huge shout, Sarwan has struck! White tries to lift it from a line with off over midwicket, misses it and goes on to strike him in front of middle, fairly high but not questionably so and the batsman has to go 251/7

    19.1 and he strikes immediately! Bravo takes a long stride forward, misses the ball, and he's caught in front. West Indies are four down now, Bravo could be in some trouble as he stood there for a while shaking his head but there was no problem with the ball itself which would have gone on to hit middle and leg 80/4
