6.1 to SR Watson, oh well held, Hinds! That's the catch of the summer! Watson leans forward to a length ball and goes downtown but miscues the shot, sending the ball miles up in the air, it looks like it will take some catching as Hinds runs back from mid-on, never taking his eyes off it, and then dives full stretch forward to clutch it as it dies on him, man oh man he had to cover a lot of ground and mind you he was running behind all the way, excellent effort from Hinds. 43/1 43.1 to RT Ponting, he moves across the stumps and tries to paddle it down to fine leg but he finds short fine leg, the ball is in the air and the ball dips and he takes it low falling forward. 252/5
Ravi Rampaul	10	0	68	1	6.80	24	5	2	0	0
42.5 to AC Voges, tries to clear long-on but finds the fielder, Voges bends his knee slightly and scoops it high over the bowler's head, Miller cups it over his head and the momentum nearly takes him over the rope but he hangs on. 252/4
Daren Sammy	8	0	44	2	5.50	23	4	0	0	0
15.3 to TD Paine, excellent catch at backward point, and its Pollard! A ripper, as they say, diving to his right to intercept a firm cut shot from Paine, he just leaped at it and the ball stuck. 95/2 49.4 to JR Hopes, pitched up outside the off stump and he makes room, gets under the bounce and scoops him flat to Smith and deep extra cover, he bends low and takes it. 318/7
Kieron Pollard	7	0	45	1	6.42	17	4	1	0	0
48.2 to MEK Hussey, cleverly bowled actually, Pollard knew Hussey was targeting the leg side and didn't give him room to free his arms, he pitches it wide outside leg on seeing Hussey make room and advance down the pitch, the ball hits his body and deflects to the stumps. 304/6
Nikita Miller	10	0	55	1	5.50	25	2	2	0	0
39.5 to CL White, gone this time, trying another slog-sweep across the line but getting under it and giving Sammy at long-on an easy catch, and also Miller his first wicket on tour. 226/3

Doug Bollinger	10	1	44	2	4.40	34	5	0	1	0
6.2 to CH Gayle, super ball and now Gayle edges to Paine! His woes against Bollinger continue as he's sucked into feeling for a gem of a ball that pitches middle and off and deviates, taking the outer edge high off the bat. 44/2 30.4 to D Ramdin, one more down! Nothing shot from Ramdin, neither forward nor back, neither defending nor playing a shot, he sort of stabs at the ball and the inside edge ensues. 146/6
Ryan Harris	10	0	64	2	6.40	31	7	1	1	0
5.5 to TM Dowlin, nicked and taken! This time Harris pitches the ball just outside off and gets some good bounce off the deck, forcing Dowlin to nibble at it and Paine does the rest. 44/1 48.6 to DJG Sammy, through the gate, he gets the ball to skid through from outside off, beats Sammy on the drive and the ball clips the off stump. 265/8
James Hopes	6	1	39	1	6.50	19	3	2	0	0
10.1 to LMP Simmons, and he strikes first ball! Not a wicket-taking ball, short and there to be hit, but Simmons succeeds in pulling and picking out the one man out in the deep. 55/3
Mitchell Johnson	10	0	55	1	5.50	33	2	2	5	0
47.1 to KA Pollard, the stand's broken, full delivery outside off and he tries to launch it over long-off but doesn't get the desired elevation, finds Hussey. 248/7
Nathan Hauritz	10	1	47	1	4.70	33	5	0	0	0
27.3 to N Deonarine, just when things were looking up for West Indies, Deonarine tries to take Hauritz downtown again, this time over the off side, comes down the pitch, bends his knee and lofts but the ball goes down Harris' throat at long-off. 127/5
Adam Voges	4	0	17	0	4.25	12	1	0	1	0
