    OVER 5.2 - Malinga to Gayle, OUT, done by the slower ball. it was wide of off stump as well and so he had to reach to drive, the ball went a long way up and Fernando, who was circling under the swirling ball as it descended from the heavens, held a good two-handed catch above his head two-thirds of the way towards the long-on boundary
    CH Gayle c Fernando b Malinga 10 (21b 1x4 0x6) SR: 47.61

    West Indies 42/2 (10.0 ov)

    9.6 Fernando to Chanderpaul, no run, the ball flies over the top of off stump, left alone on length by Chanderpaul
    9.5 Fernando to Chanderpaul, no run, virtual yorker, Chanderpaul down on it well, the ball races to backward point and knocks the man over as he stops it
    9.4 Fernando to Chanderpaul, no run, well-timed clip off his legs, but straight to midwicket. A yard either side and he might have got four there, he hit it so well
    9.3 Fernando to Chanderpaul, no run, crisp drive behind square and well stopped
    9.2 Fernando to Chanderpaul, no run, that had some extra oomph - 89mph - and Chanderpaul leaves it as it shoots past his off stump
    9.1 Fernando to Chanderpaul, no run, fullish length, Chanderpaul defends with ease

    OVER 10.1 - Vaas to Lara, OUT, Lara falls! That's some quick work by Sangakkara, Lara dragging his back foot forward and his foot is in the air. The third umpire needed more than a second eye for that one, but he was clearly out, and Lara's on his way. Tidy work indeed from the keeper, standing up to Vaas. Boos ring out around the ground at that decision, but you can't argue with it

    11.6 Fernando to Sarwan, no run
    11.5 Fernando to Sarwan, no run, defended down
    Boos in the crowd there, they didn't like that appeal
    11.4 Fernando to Sarwan, no run, half appeal for one which was going over
    11.3 Fernando to Sarwan, no run, on off and that's prodded down into the covers
    11.2 Fernando to Sarwan, no run, more tidy defence. That's not going to help the run rate, which is steadily creeping up - it's now 6.8
    11.1 Fernando to Sarwan, no run, short, and on off, and that's defended down off the back foot
