finally cuts away through point and that wins the match, denying Vaughan the half-century, but judging by his broad beam, Vaughan will take the 3-0 series win and not worry too much. They walk off to a standing ovation, Vaughan holding his bat aloft. Applause, too, for Guyana's Shiv Chanderpaul
England vs West Indies, 4th Test at Chester-le-Street, Jun 15 2007 - Ball by Ball Commentary
So, that's the end of a one-sided series, with England wrapping up proceedings emphatically on the final day at Chester-le-Street. Panesar's sixth five-wicket haul set up the win for England, who eased to their target, with seven wickets to spare. Chanderpaul was, of course, named West Indies' Man of the Series, and he is a very deserved Man of the Match, too. England's Man of the Series is Panesar - 23 wickets at 18 apiece, this series. Thanks for joining us. Until next time - which will be the Twenty20s in a week's time - it's goodbye.
Hilarity. Gayle tries to Mankad Vaughan - I thought that had been outlawed? You've got to love a bit of amusement such as that. Vaughan gives him a half-amused, half-withering (and that's a tricky look to pull off) stare
tries the cut, again

outside off, left alone
"Ambassadorialising is a gerund, not a verb," says Mike Boggis, "so the word you would be looking for is 'diplomacy'." Splendid diplomacyising, then, Your Excellency. And a splendid surname, Mike. My childhood nickname was Boggis. With parents like mine...etc
oh, but he steals the strike with a cheeky single - there may be polite words from his captain, later
Collingwood making no mistake, and just defending
more defending
defended, again, on the front foot, again
defended on the front foot
Can Vaughan get his half-century, or will Collingwood deny him?
outside off, cut down off the back foot for a quick single
defended on the front foot
Pietersen will now get into a helicopter which will fly him down to Southampton for Hampshire's semi tomorrow
defended on the back foot
Samuels's celebration, incidentally, would have pleased a banshee
Pietersen is furious with himself. Stomp, stompy, stompiest. Crikey. Gayle will not let him forget this, will he. The crowd still love KP, with a rousing reception
a soft dismissal - the one that went on with the arm and Pietersen plays late, popping a fairly awkward catch, low, to first slip
outside off, Vaughan drives an inside edge to square
wide outside, Vaughan cuts right over it
lets that one bounce harmlessly through outside off
on off, outside, and looks to drive to mid-on, but stops on the shot
dragged a touch short, and worked to midwicket
outside off, driven out through square
looked to turn it very fine, but didn't actually connect. Four more off the target, all the same
defended forward, quietly enough, on the front foot
