8.4 soft dismissal, if I've ever seen one! Short ball on middle and leg, stands up a touch, and all he does is work it off the hips ever so easily into the hands of Morton at short midwicket! 35/2

2.3 whoah! A wayward, short of a length delivery moving well down the pads, Gambhir tries to work it around the corner and there's a noise as he nibbles it, Ramdin collects, they all go up in appeal, and Bowden raises the crooked finger! West Indies make early inroads! 4/1

14.5 great delivery gets his man! Good deception with the full, slower delivery that curls in from just outside off stump, and Dravid plays the wrong line, gets totally beaten by that gem and loses his furniture! Powell is in the middle of a fine spell here, and India are just slipping 46/4

22.6 cleaned him up! Fuller ball outside off stump, moves in a tad, and Joginder's feet go nowhere, he just drives loosely away from his body, hitting through the line is a cardinal sin on this track, and the balls sneaks through the wide gap and disturbs the stumps! India in a real mess, West Indies truly on top! 69/6

Pitches full down leg stump, Zaheer heaves across the line, misses, and responds to the call for the leg bye as the ball rolls to the on side, but in a remarkable display of football skills, Bravo sprints down the track, slides, and parries the ball onto the stumps before Agarkar can ground his bat 189/10

1.1 and he strikes first ball! A nippy, back of a length delivery on the stumps, Gayle is fairly leaden-footed, basically plodding the foot an inch or two in front of the stumps, and is rapped dead in front, though there was a noise, suggesting an inside edge....but no, replays show there was no inside edge, it was a legitimate decision from the umpire 5/1

14.1 Joginder Sharma to Chanderpaul, short of a length outside off stump, Chanderpaul runs that nicely in the gap behind point, runs one, Smith wants the second, it was there for the taking, but Chanderpaul isnt interested, and as Smith turns to run back, he loses balance and falls down smack in the middle of the pitch, and Dhoni whips off the bails! 41/2

45.3 looped down quicker outside off stump and it stops and turns away, Bradshaw is in no position to play at it in an aggressive manner, which he does, trying some sort of initial cut/slap and through he tries to withdraw the bat, he ends up spooning a simple catch to Gambhir at point 163/8

46.4 Khan to Chanderpaul, RUN OUT! Short of a length outside off stump, he dabs it fine down to Joginder at third man, who misfields the ball first, encouraging the batsmen to think about the second - what to they always say in school? NEVER run on a misfield, but some people dont learn. Chanderpaul starts off for the second, then sees Joginder throwing the ball back to Dhoni and sends Powell back, but he is caught well short of his crease 166/9
