cover drive thru the diving fielder, that's 50, that's a win, that's 2 points, that's a half handy performance from bangladesh

West Indies won by 7 wickets (with 21 balls remaining)
presentations. Aminul colecting the losing cheque: "I should congratulate out opening Mehrab Hossain... I'm very happy with the bowling and the fielding.... looking forward to the next match with Scotland"
$6000 for Lara: "getting our first win was important.... we conceded 25 wides, that's something we can't afford in the later matches.... it's good to see our team coming together, especially the batting"
and the man of the match is the unknown chap who goes by the name of Courtney Walsh
I'd transcribe something of what he says, but he's talking way too quickly in way too much of a monotone
and that's all we have from the land of Eire. Not the most exciting of matches and not themost unpredictable of results.
Tomorrow's matches are England v South Africa, and Sri Lanka v Zimbabwe. 2 very crucial matches. You'd expect the first to count as a Super 6 result, whilst the second could well decide which team enters the Super 6.
Zimbabwe of course relying on India's laughable appeal against the result of the Ind v Zim match being denied. A notion so ridiculous you have to think it's a hoax.
Until 945 GMT tomorrow, it's good evening from CI's Live Coverage Dept.

defending into the covers, with the pad
stretching forward with the most compact defence you'll see, and believe me, Chanders can be compact
dabbed back to the bowler, indeed he's defending so Adams can get his half century, what a guy!
solid defence from Chanders, he's in no hurry
another formality shot, to the backward squar eleg
played around the corner to the short fine leg
pushed too far down the leg side, big pull shot from Adams, direct to the long leg fence
another full toss, drifting down the leg side, hoiked away for 4 over the forward square leg
easily played to the mid on fielder
stepping back, upright defence
getting lots of drift in the air, missing the sweep, taken on the pad
one step down the pitch, plays acros sthe line to the deep mid wicket
a scrummy full toss, whacked direct to the cover fielder
a mere single off that over, WI trying to make a match of it
turns it around the corner to the short fine leg
stepping back, chopping to the mid wicket
