India v West Indies - turning points

Mohammed Shami found success with the reverse swing BCCI

10.1 Kumar to Gayle, OUT, taken at second slip! The ball pitched on a good length around middle and seamed across the left-hander, Gayle stayed in his crease and pushed at the ball outside off stump with no footwork. He got a thick edge that flew straight to Vijay at second slip. That catch arrived at waist height, don't get many more straightforward than that in the slips
CH Gayle c Vijay b Kumar 18 (42m 32b 4x4 0x6) SR: 56.25

43.5 Mohammed Shami to Samuels, OUT, middle stump's been knocked out of the ground! That ball seemed much quicker, it pitched on a length and cut back into the right-hander, a skiddy delivery. Samuels stayed in his crease and tried to drive through cover, leaving a gap between bat and pad. The ball went through it to hit the top of middle stump. Dhoni's drop has cost India only five runs
MN Samuels b Mohammed Shami 65 (102m 98b 11x4 2x6) SR: 66.32

45.2 Mohammed Shami to Ramdin, OUT, Shami's done it again! The middle stump has been uprooted! He pitched once again on a good length outside off and swung back into the right-hander, Ramdin was cramped for room as he tried to cut and the ball beat the bat to crash into off stump. Looks like Shami's already reversing it, and he's having a splendid debut
D Ramdin b Mohammed Shami 4 (4m 4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

62.4 Tendulkar to Shillingford, OUT, lbw! Tendulkar has a wicket and Eden Gardens erupts. That was the ball that goes straight on. The flight was superb and the ball dipped on the right-hander too. Shillingford pushed forward to defend and was hit plumb in front. Tendulkar bowled a googly, bowled a legbreak and then got his man with a straight one. A terrific touch to this Test. That's tea by the way.
S Shillingford lbw b Tendulkar 5 (39m 39b 0x4 0x6) SR: 12.82

76.6 Ashwin to Chanderpaul, OUT, he's bowled him! Chanderpaul's played down the wrong line and the ball's clipped off stump. It was the quicker ball and it pitched outside off stump and skidded on while kolding its line, Chanderpaul played back and tried to defend. He just missed it.
S Chanderpaul b Ashwin 36 (128m 79b 3x4 0x6) SR: 45.56
