Pakistan firmly in control, Chanderpaul remains the key wicket.

wouldn't say that, we still need two wickets before we're into the tail. 130 for three ain't bad. One quick wicket could change that.

Going with two spinners was always going to be a risk with Chanderpaul and Sarwan playing both great against spin. Good thing Sarwan's out, but Chanderpaul is looking quite calm out there at the moment.

 

[A.M.]

first spell from wahab in the second session was amazing

would love to see another one like that

 

[Fireworks11]

This session will decide the day.

for 4, Lendl is also crocked.

Chanders looks good but pitch is playing tricks, and after Nash the Windies don't really have any batting, bunch of bunnies.

 

[BoomBoomCricket]

Big effort needed in the final session. Bowlers have generally bowled tightly so far. Ajmal's 2nd spell was splendid. Maintained pressure & created doubts. 5 consecutive maidens. Excellent stuff.

 

[Fireworks11]

Shiv is the key wicket.

 

[Fawad2010]

Keep it tight, wickets will come!

 

[violet_may]

3 more wickets at least IA

 

[Fireworks11]

New ball will be key.

 

[AZ]

Ajmal to restart proceedings.

 

[AZ]

Ah, nice doosra.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to get rid of Shiv.

Nash looks clueless against spin here!

 

[Strike!]

Not an easy pitch to bat on.

 

[Fireworks11]

West Indies 136/3

 

[AZ]

Smashed into Azhar's gut at short cover, no way that was a chance.

 

[Amjid Javed]

[Amjid Javed]

[Fawad2010]

[Amjid Javed]

Saeed Ajmal to Baugh, OUT, Ajmal wins, it was only a matter of time, Baugh's been given lbw, it's being reviewed, and that is plumb, absolutely plumb, no clue why that was referred, pitched on middle and was going on to hit middle and off, Baugh's misery is over, he really did looked helpless against Ajmal, and he's wasted a review as well

CS Baugh lbw b Saeed Ajmal 4 (15b 1x4 0x6) SR: 26.66

 

[NJamal]

Wicket maiden- 142/5

 

[violet_may]

Simmons should come now...theres no one left in WI lineup

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sammy new man in, needs to prove his worth as a player here.

interesting to see how Shiv plays it from here!

 

[Amjid Javed]

If we can get Shiv out we can wrap this up today.

 

[Batman]

West Indies | 5/142 | 62 Overs

Wicket maiden!

 

[Inswinger]

Sammy being captain is leaving out the likes of Samuels and Edwards. Specialists that can actually help the team. Time for him to justify his position.

 

[Fireworks11]

Saeed Ajmal with shear class.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Simmons get salughtered by Mikey holding for not coming out to bat yet.

 

[Fireworks11]

Baugh's misery is over.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Whats the score lads?

 

[NJamal]

143/5

 

[Fireworks11]

Ajmal weaving his magic in Guyana.

 

[Batman]

West Indies | 5/143 | 63 Overs

1 off the over!

 

[Amjid Javed]

having sammy in side and a keeper who cant bat offers W.I no balance at all.

playing just 3 front line bowlers means alot off work for them which if pakistans batsmen get in could mean a massive struggle for W.I
