- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.4 tries to work to leg but misses, and Gayle roars an appeal on his own and up goes the finger 121/41.3 great catch by Ramdin! Wright charged, he smashed and he top-edged a skier miles into the air. Three fielders converged but Ramdin called it, and took it low on the off side, diving as it swirled late in the strong breeze 8/17.5 goes for a sweep - he's got him! Simmons has his man. Pietersen went for a big sweep from outside off but top-edged it to deep square-leg 64/211.6 what a catch that is! Shah swivelled onto a very firm pull but Fletcher, at deep square leg, timed his jump perfectly to take it high above his head with both hands - a stunning catch! 98/316.6 got him! Another attempt to sweep, he's rapped on the pads and that's out. Perhaps sliding down the leg side, but there's no time to pontificate 132/519.3 steps to leg and tries to smite it over long-on but there's no power in the stroke and mid-on swallows the catch with ease 150/6Extras7 (lb 4, w 3)TOTAL161/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.05)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Luke Wright, 1.3 ov), 2-64 (Kevin Pietersen, 7.5 ov), 3-98 (Owais Shah, 11.6 ov), 4-121 (Ravi Bopara, 15.4 ov), 5-132 (Paul Collingwood, 16.6 ov), 6-150 (James Foster, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 full and straight and the crowd erupt - absolutely erupt! A fantastic yorker drills into his middle stump and beats Gayle's drive 16/20.6 goes for a pull and skies it miles, miles and miles in the air! The catch is safely taken and that's Fletcher's third duck in a row 6/12.1 uppercut over the slip down to third man - England have another! Sidebottom at third man steadies himself and takes a good, low catch 16/35.2 outside off, he plays and misses and Foster whips off the bails! Third umpire agrees that his back foot was lifted - what outstanding keeping from Foster, two days in a row! 45/54.4 bowled him! What nerve by Rashid - the top-spinner hurried onto Pollard, beating his bull-charge down the pitch, and skidded through to bowl him. Brilliant! 41/4Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL82/5 (8.2 Overs, RR: 9.84)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Andre Fletcher, 0.6 ov), 2-16 (Chris Gayle, 1.5 ov), 3-16 (Lendl Simmons, 2.1 ov), 4-41 (Kieron Pollard, 4.4 ov), 5-45 (Dwayne Bravo, 5.2 ov)
