- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 gone, hit plumb in ront, Rana Naved bowling from over the wicket pitched that on middle stump, it straightened just a fraction and Gayle got half-forward and played down the wrong line, Umpire Asad Rauf had a very easy decision to make 19/147.4 hundred and ....out! Rana Naved banged that short and Chanderpaul tried to pull on the front foot, the resulting top edge flew straight to Yasir Hameed at deep midwicket 217/612.6 played on! the length wasn't very good from Sami, on the shorter side outside the off stump, but it was the offcutter and Simmons played away from his body, tried to hit it too hard through cover, he got an inside edge and it cannoned into off stump 53/226.1 stumped! Classic dismissal, Rehman drifted that ball in to Samuels from round the wicket, Samuels took a half step down and wasn't to the pitch of the ball, it pitched on leg and middle and spun across the face of the bat, Akmal completes the stumping 104/343.4 bowled him! Huge huge wicket for Pakistan, full ball on leg stump, Lara backed away to make room but was still cramped for space as the ball followed him, Lara then tried to heave it on the leg side but the ball hit the pad before crashing into the stumps 200/444.5 caught, this time Rehman takes it off his own bowling, poor shot selection from Ramdin as he doesn't get to the pitch of the ball and chips it softly back to Rehman, West Indies are sinking now and fast 205/549.1 plumb! superb death bowling from Rana Naved, he bowls that full and nearly in the blockhole, it swings into Smith and hits him on the boot, simple decision for the umpire 222/7Extras25 (b 1, lb 11, nb 8, w 5)TOTAL238/7 (50 Overs, RR: 4.76)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Chris Gayle, 3.4 ov), 2-53 (Lendl Simmons, 12.6 ov), 3-104 (Marlon Samuels, 26.1 ov), 4-200 (Brian Lara, 43.4 ov), 5-205 (Denesh Ramdin, 44.5 ov), 6-217 (Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 47.4 ov), 7-222 (Dwayne Smith, 49.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR44.1 Hafeez gets done in by one that keeps very very low, that pitched on middle stump, the length was short so Hafeez rocked back for the pull shot, the ball scooted along at shin height and hit him just above the boot in front of middle and leg stump 224/316.1 caught at long-leg, Akmal took his customary step down and hosited it off his pads down Jerome Taylor's throat, Taylor's on the field as a substitute 87/135.2 caught in the deep, Hameed loses his concentration after the drinks break and tries to loft Gayle over the long-on fence, he doesn't get enough meat behind the shot and Morton takes a well-judged catch on the fence 176/2Extras9 (lb 2, nb 3, w 4)TOTAL239/3 (46.5 Overs, RR: 5.1)Fall of wickets: 1-87 (Kamran Akmal, 16.1 ov), 2-176 (Yasir Hameed, 35.2 ov), 3-224 (Mohammad Hafeez, 44.1 ov)
