that's it, wides down the leg side, Shah swipes and misses but it's academic
England vs West Indies, 2nd T20I at London, Jun 29 2007 - Ball by Ball Commentary
England win by five wickets with three balls to spare. Owais Shah batted superbly to guide them home ... that's all from us. We will be back on Sunday with the first ODI from Lord's ... rain permitting. Join us then. Goodnight.
Mascarenhas back., waits and heaves to long-on
patted into the leg side, Mascarenhas wants two, Shah knackered
Shah smacks it down the ground to long-on, Mascarenhas races back and beats a poor throw
And Gayle steps into the breach. A buzz goes around the ground.
Six off six balls ... even I can work that one out ... a run a ball ...
an almost Pietersenesque swish over midwicket to the man out in the deep
just what the doctor didn't order ... a booming leg-side wide
another big heave square on the leg, too close to the fielder for two
Nine off eight ...
a real village heave into the leg side, frantic running from batsmen and fielders, the former just win
late thick edge, and a deliberate one, Bravo roars round and cuts it off at third man
swished to backward square leg, only the one as the man was in PDQ
turned through midwicket off his hips, no pace on it and that allows the second
Rampaul with a make-or-break over for West Indies.
So, 15 needed from 12 balls.
Mascarenhas chips to long-on
The crowd stands ... 50 from 31 balls ... should be a match-winning innings.
full toss, thumped to long-on
rasping drive through extra cover, the fielder has to dive to stop it and that allows them to come back for two
heave-pulled wide of short fine leg and to the left of deep square leg ...
flighted, almost too slow for Shah and it thuds into his pads as he goes to leg
slower ball, turned into the leg side, looking for two but Morton on it quickly
or is it ...
Super Slow-Mo Hotspot Snicko shows the umpire was right and it missed everything ... 24 needed from 18. A doddle in Twenty20.
driven to long-on
massive appeal for leg before, through everyone and it shoots to where long-stop would be ... and it's given as wides to add insult to runs
tip and run to midwicket
