47.5 to Pollard, Pollard goes, finally, after lots of carnage, he looked to caused some more this time, but got too much below a length ball, and skied it high in the air, long on had settled under it, and took it cleanly in the end, 60 off 27, phew 312/7

49.4 to Thomas, Bukhari gets one, Thomas looked to work it away from the stumps, missed and was hit on the pads, the bowler got the decision in his favour, Thomas goes for the review right away, he was hit on the knee roll but was bending down too, replays show it is taking out leg stump, umpire Saheba raises the finger again, and Thomas departs 326/8

42.1 to Sarwan, they don't come closer than those, full on the stumps, misses the waft across the line, umpire Taufel gives him out straight away, he was hit on the toes, and was on the crease too, Sarwan finally runs out of luck, but it has been a fluent knock 261/4

36.2 to Gayle, the batting Powerplay did you say, Gayle goes as soon as it starts, swings hard at a length ball, and swings it straight down to long off, bah, whoever named this a batting Powerplay? 196/3

16.3 to Smith, breakthrough for Netherlands, finally, Smith goes, tried to cut away this delivery which is too close, stayed low too, he got a thin edge through to the keeper, it was a neat take from him, umpire Taufel sends Smith on his way 100/1

31.2 to Bravo, Seelar is rewarded for flighting the ball with control, he bowled this a little wider outside off stump, Bravo had already decided where this one was to go, he darted down the pitch, had to reach out a bit to get to it, and ended up lofting it to long on who didn't have to move much, this is what Gayle has been looking to avoid 168/2

43.4 to Sammy, Sammy tries to go over long off too, like Pollard, but does not connect that well, and picks out the man on the boundary neatly, maybe he could have just left it to Pollard, well he is gone now 278/5

45.4 to Chanderpaul, Seelar has another, it is Chanders this time, looks to reverse sweep this one angling in on leg stump, that;'s what it does in the end, goes past his bat to crash in to leg stump, Seelaar roars, he is delighted 290/6

6.4 to Kervezee, and gone. Benn's lulled him out of the crease with the possibility of a flighted offering, with the added temptation of mid-on inside the circle. Once he saw him coming, he held it back on off stump and got it to rip across. Kervezee was too far into the shot to pull out, and went for the swing anyway. No luck, as it breaks past the outside edge, and the keeper does the rest., 26/2

8.1 to ten Doeschate, Benn might have got rid of Tendo here. Umpire Saheba says out. It is being reviewed. Tossed up on leg stump and fired in at some pace too. Tendo was just done for pace as he shaped into a forward defensive. The ball straightened off the deck and was headed for the leg stump. His bat was outside the line though, and it thudded low into the shin. Gone. 34/3

10.2 to de Grooth, you got to give it to Benn. Slips in the armer, seemed worth a shout as the batsman prodded with bat and pad half forward. The keeper goes up immediately. Sammy goes up immediately. Benn doesn't care. Even as they appeal, he is walking back to bowl the next ball. Even as they contemplate the review, he is at the top of his run up for the next ball! Sammy stops him and reviews it. This looks pretty close. Landed on off and middle, and straightens, Thudding into the middle of middle stump, some two-thirds of the way up. Sammy and the keeper have got Benn a wicket, which he did not seem to want. 36/5

1.4 to Barresi, Gayle has struck. The wicket goes to Roach, but that was all Gayle. Length ball on off stump from Roach, Barresi goes for a nervous half-prod, half-poke non-drive without moving the feet and it gets the outside edge. Sammy's eyes at second slip light up as he jumps across to his left. Gayle at first slip calmly tumbled across to his right. Sammy missed the ball. Gayle was ready. Not deterred by the distraction, he pouched it low. And then he smiles. And smiles. 2/1

9.3 to Zuiderent, Bas Zuiderant. Blast Zuiderant. Roach has blasted his stumps out with a fast and straight missile that had off stump written all over it. Bas tried to get forward and cover the line, but his reluctant forward prod was not going to get him anywhere. He played across the line, the ball slipped between bat and pad, and flattened off stump. Roach is delighted. 35/4

29.4 to Mudassar Bukhari, Roach has hit the stumps again. It's a sound strategy - fast and straight for the lower order batsman. Bukhari has played back too many times today, and he's cleaned up as one delivery stays a little low. He's played all over it and the stumps are splattered. 113/7

31.1 to Seelaar, Seelaar is gone. Is it lbw or caught? For now it is out one way of the other. Huge inducker, came in at pace, and seemed in a hurry to hit Seelaar's optimistically outstretched pad. It thuds into the foam in front of middle. Lbw it is. It bubbles up to short leg, without taking bat on the way. Doesn't matter, Seelaar's fate sealed already. 115/8

31.2 to Loots, and another. Will this be reviewed? Roach has got another lbw out of Taufel. And no, it is not being reviewed. He has five and is on a hat-trick. Well bowled Roachie. Fuller delivery this time, looking for the stumps and nipping in alarmingly. Loots did his best, he tried to cover the line with bat and pad, but the ball hit him on the shin in front of off. Loots looked bemused and consulted with Cooper and then went on his way without reviewing. 115/9

31.3 to Westdijk, hat-trick for Roach and he has six wickets! Superb spell this, the sheen barely taken off it by the fact that it came against a poor opposition. Fielders came in everywhere. Three slips I could see on the screen. A short leg in place. The odds of Westdijk surviving this were not very good. Roach got another vicious inducker in place. Landed it outside off stump and got it to curl in rapidly. Westdijk stayed on the crease and made a feeble attempt to stop it. No luck. Middle stump is flattened, and I think Roach will put it on his mantelpiece. Sixth hat-trick in World Cup cricket, and boy, it was a treat to watch! 115/10

18.2 to Borren, captain removes captain. Short ball outside off, he goes for the cut and finds point to perfection. It doesn't help that Borren couldn't time it either. West Indies should look to wrap this up quickly now. 56/6
