wrapped on the pads on leg stump, and the umpire raises his finger - and there's a series win for West Indies, full deserved
England vs West Indies, 3rd ODI at Nottingham, Jul 07 2007 - Ball by Ball Commentary
A great win for West Indies who have outplayed England in this series. And the West Indies are loving it, led by Gayle and a fairly brilliant selection of celebrations as they dance their way off the pitch to meet the fans. What a turnaround it's been: from the disaster of the Test series to nothing short of a triumph in these one-dayers. A team if not quite transformed, but on the up - and it's great to see. Join us for the England Test on the 19th but, until then, it's goodnight from me, Will Luke, Jenny Thompson and Andrew McGlashan.
Monty's broken his bat. My, that was some defensive from the Montster. Out comes the salesman, dripping in cheap aftershave, and Botham's now off on one of his rants, asking why Monty has more than one bat
defended off the back foot
another failed reverse sweep
driven, or something, nowhere
beaten in the flight. "How was that?" inquires Gayle
rapped on the pads attempting another sweep, but he's well outside the line
swept to that short fine-leg
Short fine-leg comes in
and he's been swept with vast amounts of cheek to fine-leg
Here's Gayle, around the wicket
That ends a fine spell from Edwards, he's had an outstanding one-day series
fuller from Edwards and driven to mid off
angling into Panesar, who defends with a straight bat...he's looked better than some of the top order
outside off stump and Panesar goes for a fish without making contact
left alone outside off
driven just short of extra cover
dropped outside off
shot! Monty stands tall and drives this crisply down the ground
and it's nudged out to cover
pushed out to cover for a crowd-relieving single
just short of a length, clumped back to the bowler
pushed out to cover
firmly defended
