all over, thats it! A quick, good length delivery on middle and leg, Collymore is just rooted at the crease and gets hit in line, that one did keep slightly low, looks likely to take leg stump, every Indian goes up in appeal and the umpire slowly raises his finger! Sreesanth gets the final wicket, India have won by 16 runs, they've done their shot at the finals no harm
India vs West Indies, 5th Match at Kuala Lumpur, Sep 20 2006 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Well, a low-scoring encounter turns out to be close. India have snuck in a good win to boost their morale and leave this tournament just that much more exciting as it means they need a win in the final league match on Friday. The West Indies, led by Dwayne Smith, bowled extremely well to bowl India out for 162, but in reply they turned in a bad effort in the face of a spirited Indian bowling attack.
So this is the deal: India must win on Friday, thats obvious, while Australia can get through with a tie or a wash-out. The West Indies have to yet again address their woeful middle and lower order batting when chasing. They have three days to do so before the final.
Harbhajan Singh has been awarded the Man-of-the-Match award for his crucial 37 and 3 for 35.
That's all we have for you today. I hope you've enjoyed our coverage. Do join us for what promises to be a cracker on Friday, September 22. Until then, this is Jamie Alter signing off. Cheers, and good evening.
good length ball on the stumps, Lara hops across and works it to the onside, Sreesanth makes great speed in moving to his left and collecting, he hurls the ball in, Baugh is not even in the frame but the throw misses the stumps, intense stuff here!
good ball, lands outside off and swings away, Lara judges it and leaves it alone
again outside off, not enough room to cut and he dabs it fine, ball goes to slip on the bounce
fuller this time outside off, Lara hustles and defends to point

Corey Collymore, the last man, walks in to join his captain with 18 required from 64 deliveries, Dravid puts in a silly point and forward short leg, but no deep midwicket
he's gone! Tossed up outside off, its the arm ball, Baugh is leaden-footed as he has been for most of his innings, stands there and pokes at it, the ball kisses the edge and pops into Dravid's hands, he takes a good catch and West Indies are nine down, we have a cracker here
width offered outside off, rocks back and cuts that past point for one
fullish outside off again, Baugh shoulders arms and allows it to pass safely, thats a maiden from Agarkar
a good length outside off again, Baugh stands and just dabs at it and makes no contact

full outside off and its left alone with a stride forward and a raise of the shoulders
