- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 Three down now. What a delightful start by the Windies. It was the short-pitched delivery that did the trick. Gambhir top edged the pull and Lendl ran back from square leg and lunged forward in the end to take a very fine catch. First Ramdin and now Lendl; the West Indian fielders are doing a great job. 29/31.2 Undaunted by the pulled four, Fidel simply cranks up another short-pitched delivery from back of length.. Rohit is beaten for the pace and by the extra bounce, top edges the pull to square leg. Great start from Windies. Taylor served up a fiery first over and now, Fidel has started in a similar vein. 12/13.5 Full in length and slanting away from Raina, who after the bouncers, was hanging on the back foot. He simply hung his bat out to dry and Ramdin says thank you as he dives neatly to his left to take it inches off the turf. Raina stood his ground, the umpires weren't sure whether it carried and they went upstairs. Replays confirm it went in cleanly. Gone! Ramdin almost knocked Gayle off in attempt to throw the ball up in the air, while celebrating. 27/217.4 Fidel terminates a superb innings from Yuvraj. Again, it was the short-pitched ball that did the trick. Yuvraj top-edges the pull and this time it lobs straight to the on side and Fidel positions himself under it. A very fine entertaining knock comes to an end. 130/512.1 And Dhoni falls after a painful little knock. It was banged in short and outsdie off and Dhoni, actually played his best shot of the day. A shot full of intent. He rocked back to cut it hard and flat but couldn't clear the man stationed near the ropes at deep backward point. The captain is gone and Windies celebrate. 66/419.1 Bravo cleans up Yusuf. 129.3 kmph yorker from round the stumps pegs back the off stump. Yusuf swung early, the bottom-hand coming off the handle in the end but no wood on leather. TImber! 140/619.3 And in the middle, his brother holes out to deep midwicket. He planted his front leg outside the leg stump, hit the full delivery straight to the man. 141/7Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL153/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Rohit Sharma, 1.2 ov), 2-27 (Suresh Raina, 3.5 ov), 3-29 (Gautam Gambhir, 4.2 ov), 4-66 (MS Dhoni, 12.1 ov), 5-130 (Yuvraj Singh, 17.4 ov), 6-140 (Yusuf Pathan, 19.1 ov), 7-141 (Irfan Pathan, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.4 The big fish has been caught. India roar in celebration. It was the short-of-length quick delivery on the leg stump line and Gayle went for the pull. Fatal top edge. It lobbed high to short fine-leg where Zaheer Khan took the catch. 42/21.2 Irfan takes out Fletch. It was full and around the off stump, Fletcher wanted to drill it over mid-off but mistimed it completely to push it tamely to the fielder there. Soft dismissal. 9/114.3 But Lendl falls now, after a very fine knock. He top edged the slog sweep and was caught at deep square leg. Again Ojha slowed up the pace and floated it outside off, and that did the trick. 100/3Extras6 (lb 3, w 3)TOTAL156/3 (18.4 Overs, RR: 8.35)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Andre Fletcher, 1.2 ov), 2-42 (Chris Gayle, 7.4 ov), 3-100 (Lendl Simmons, 14.3 ov)
