Gees. Feel sorry for the players in this match, seems to be cursed! Injuries left right and centre.

Run rate has crept over two an over, but Bravo's dismissal seems to spell the end for the Windies.

Amazing stat just gone up on Sky - Chanderpaul has faced only 36 of the last 120 balls.

And made what, three or four runs?

Edwards in ahead of Gayle, that can't be good.

Hit on the thumb wasn't he? No news yet re whether it's broken. I wonder if we'll see him doing a Marshall, batting one-handed, with Edwards using a runner at the other end.
Yep, did that myself a few weeks ago, took a month before I could bat again:-O

Very very nice catch from Harris.

Edit: Actually replays suggest the ball touched the ground...

See absolutely nothing wrong with that catch. What was he supposed to do? Flip around on his back on the way down? He had complete control over it and it was a fine catch.

Go Gayle!

Good god Nel doesn't exactly endear himself to anyone. Loved watching him get tonked there.

Nice 50 Shiv. Would love to see the Windies eek out and 30+ and make a real game of it here.

Gayle smashes Nel for 16 in an over - finally some batting worth watching - and particularly satisfying considering the bowler. :)

As regards the Harris catch, I wonder if he'll be meeting the match referee later. Replays showed that he pressed the ball down into the ground with his left hand before he had control of it. Clearly it wouldn't have been easy to do, but if he was going to land on both hands, the one holding the ball needed to be palm upward.

^200 with a batsmen down would be something. Windies are also a bowler down as well I guess.

Still don't get why no-one wants to use a third man in Tests anymore. Leaked another boundary there.
