Smith to Rampaul, OUT

stumped and it's all over! Rampaul thows his bat at the one that drifts away, dragging his back leg marginally forward, Haddin collects and breaks the sticks, yelling out a relieved "THANK YOU" as he does so, and replays show Rampaul's foot was on the line so that is the end of that

McKay to Miller, OUT

end of a frustrating stand as Miller is forced up by a short ball and slaps it to Clarke at cover, he stands there for a while thinking the ball was too high, but no reaction from the umpires and West Indies lose their ninth
