- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.2 the teenage Dockrell gets the wicket! Fletcher went for the big aerial drive, tried to clear long-on but he hasn't quite got hold of it, Kevin O'Brien takes a well-judged catch a couple of steps in from the boundary 77/32.6 Rankin breaks through! Chanderpaul looks to turn a third consecutive delivery to leg but gets top edge, the ball is skied to cover point and Wilson takes the catch 19/15.2 Cusack's caught him, has he? Yes he has, eventually! Bravo drives straight and the ball holds up on the pitch, the bowler goes for the return catch and doesn't take it cleanly, in fact he's juggled and it's bounced off his belly as was doing an army roll, but he's held on to it! 43/211.4 another one! Two in three balls from Dockrell! Sarwan this time tries to go over the top but doesn't time it, Wilson takes the catch at deep mid-off 77/415.6 Dockrell gets his third, what a good spell! Deonarine realised that he was getting bogged down and went for the slog sweep, the top edge was skied and Niall O'Brien took it comfortably with the gloves 93/612.6 gone! Oh dear! Terrible ball, really, it was a long way down leg side and Ramdin went for the glance, the keeper was utterly convinced that had come off the face of the bat and so was Bowden. 83/518.3 oh, Sammy's gone too! That's a very handy wicket for Ireland to keep this total down. He's tried for the pull over long-on but the slower pace has deceived Sammy, who picks out the man on the boundary 127/818.1 Pollard's gone, Botha gets the breakthrough. Back of a length and slowish off the pitch, Pollard top-edges his attempted pull and Botha runs back towards the stumps to take a simple return catch 125/719.6 and a wicket to finish the innings, Rampaul looks to clear the leg-side field but his top-edge is taken at mid-on 138/9Extras4 (lb 2, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL138/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.9)Did not bat: KAJ RoachFall of wickets: 1-19 (S Chanderpaul, 2.6 ov), 2-43 (DJ Bravo, 5.2 ov), 3-77 (ADS Fletcher, 11.2 ov), 4-77 (RR Sarwan, 11.4 ov), 5-83 (D Ramdin, 12.6 ov), 6-93 (N Deonarine, 15.6 ov), 7-125 (KA Pollard, 18.1 ov), 8-127 (DJG Sammy, 18.3 ov), 9-138 (R Rampaul, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 And second slip does the job! Another thick edge from Porterfield and Sammy has taken a blinder, diving from second slip across in front of first slip. Great start for West Indies 4/11.3 gone! Stirling went for the pull, yet another miscued stroke - how many is that for this game? - is skied and taken at square leg 7/21.5 Rampaul strikes again! Angled across the left-hander O'Brien, who dabs and finds a thin edge through to Ramdin 11/33.3 another one goes! Sammy takes another catch, his third of the innings as Cusack gets a leading edge to second slip. It took a juggle from Sammy but he's held on 16/412.1 slower ball, driven to cover, that's out and West Indies are one wicket closer to victory. Wilson picked out Sammy, who has taken yet another catch 55/68.1 Sammy strikes first ball! Kevin O'Brien drives down the ground but can't clear long-on, where Fletcher takes any easy catch 39/512.4 Bravo gets another one! Johnston went for the windy swipe over cow corner, didn't connect and the ball crashes into the stumps 56/713.4 Miller asks the question for lbw and Bowden gives it. Mooney was beaten by the spin, struck him directly in front 61/814.5 Sammy does the job again, Rankin gets a thin tickle through to Ramdin 64/916.4 there it is, game over!
