West Indies innings (50 overs maximum) R B 4s 6s SR
View dismissal LMP Simmons run out (Jadeja/†Patel) 78 102 8 1 76.47
35.6 from Raina, Simmons won't carry his bat after all! He sweeps just wide of short fine leg, Jadeja mops up at fine leg and fires the throw to the keeper, Simmons turns around and risks the second run but he's well short 170/9
View dismissal AB Barath c †Patel b Yadav 0 8 0 0 0.00
1.6 the bowler deserves all the credit for that one, Barath was circumspect from the very beginning with the away swinging delivery, Yadav tempted him into poking at another delivery which was pitched up outside off, he followed the movement, his feet were all over the place, edged and no doubts about that 3/1
View dismissal MN Samuels c Raina b Yadav 4 8 0 0 50.00
7.1 137.2 kph, Excellent take by Raina at third slip! Samuels isn't sure so he's waiting for the third umpire to take a look, Samuels was squared up at the crease, tried to work it to the on side, got a leading edge and Raina had to dive low to his right at third slip, he just about managed to get his hands under the ball, needed a few replays to confirm that 25/2
View dismissal DM Bravo c Ashwin b Vinay Kumar 13 17 2 0 76.47
13.3 131.4 kph, spoke too soon about Bravo! Good length on the off stump and Bravo attempts to loft him from the crease and clear mid-on, the bat face turns a bit and he mistimes it, easy catch for Ashwin at mid-on, very soft dismissal 55/3
View dismissal DP Hyatt c †Patel b Vinay Kumar 0 2 0 0 0.00
13.5 129.6 kph, (Hotel) Hyatt checks in and departs immediately! Very similar to Barath's dismissal, Vinay teases him outside the off stump, Hyatt really has to play at it because it was very close to the off stump, pokes at it and gets a thin edge to the keeper 55/4
View dismissal D Ramdin† c Jadeja b Yadav 2 11 0 0 18.18
16.1 135.4 kph, and West Indies slide further! Yadav deserves credit again for that wicket, pitches it up and swings it away, forces him to drive but Ramdin gets it to lob off the top half of the bat, easily taken at backward point by Jadeja 63/5
View dismissal KA Pollard c †Patel b Ashwin 35 30 3 2 116.66
23.6 75.6 kph, Ashwin has his revenge but Pollard isn't happy with the decision! Gets forward to defend, the ball lobbed off the pads and Parthiv ran forward and took the catch, Ravi gave him out immediately, replays weren't conclusive as to whether the ball clipped the glove or not 119/6
View dismissal DJG Sammy* lbw b Jadeja 2 8 0 0 25.00
26.3 88.9 kph, that's plumb and everyone knows it, Sammy stays back at the crease but the ball lands on off , holds its line and traps him in front of the stumps as he tries to flick it away 131/7
View dismissal AD Russell b Jadeja 11 13 2 0 84.61
30.5 87.5 kph, through the gate! Jadeja fires this flatter, the ball keeps a bit low and Russell tries to whack it over the on side, misses it completely 149/8
R Rampaul not out 86 66 6 6 130.30

View dismissal PA Patel† c Sammy b Roach 2 6 0 0 33.33
1.2 139.6 kph, first blood to Roach! He lands it on a good length outside off and gets it to shape away, Parthiv pokes at it and the outside edge goes low to Sammy at second slip, just manages to scoop it up 3/1
View dismissal V Sehwag* c Russell b Samuels 26 35 3 0 74.28
16.3 85.2 kph, there's a hush around the ground! Sehwag stays at the crease and he lofts inside out, he got quite a bit of elevation but not enough to clear Russell at wide long-off, he judges it well close to the boundary 84/3
View dismissal G Gambhir c Barath b Rampaul 12 18 2 0 66.66
6.4 135.0 kph, take that! Gambhir is in disbelief! It was wide and asking to be slashed, he reached out and tried to carve it over the packed infield but little Barath timed his leap very well and plucked it with one hand in the region of short cover 29/2
View dismissal V Kohli c †Ramdin b Rampaul 117 123 14 0 95.12
44.6 135.2 kph, too bad he couldn't stay till the end! Kohli makes a bit of room to smash that down the ground but gets a feather edge to Ramdin, too late for Windies though, Kohli walks back cross with himself but he needn't be, it was another responsible innings from him, very pleasing to watch 247/4

View dismissal SK Raina c †Ramdin b Roach 0 1 0 0 0.00
45.4 142.5 kph, that's another one back in the pavilion! Raina gets a short ball straight up, he gets across to pull but it's a very half-hearted shot, feather edge and Ramdin and Roach know they've got their man 248/5
