Pollock to Gayle,
FOUR,
short of a good length, outside the off, and Gayle slaps that through point. The fielder gets a hand to it but can't stop it. The outfield is quick and the ball races away.

JA Morkel to Gayle,
FOUR,
low full-toss outside the off, carved through cover for a boundary. Gayle's racing along and could well become the first centurion in this form of the game

Whack. Good old fashioned slog. On a length, outside off stump and he smoked it over extra cover

Pollock to Gayle,

Bang. Low full toss, on the off stump line and Gayle smokes it straight down the ground. No chance whatsover for the men at the ropes.

M Morkel to Gayle,
FOUR,
It's a simple technique Gayle uses. He just clears the front leg outside the line and goes right through the line. This one - a full delivery on the middle stump, an attempted yorker - has been driven down the ground

van der Wath to Chanderpaul,
FOUR,
Outside edge. Lovely lemon cut or French cut as you please. Full and homing in on the off stump, Chanderpaul tries to slice it through point. Instead the ball runs to third man boundary

van der Wath to Ramdin,

Connects with his upper cut this time. A slight shuffle takes him outside leg stump just before the delivery and he carves a short-of-length delivery over point
