00:00this is natural shape first boundary of the contest
00:16and what is impressive there is that Smith uses his feet early pulls his
00:23length back another wonderful shot of free-flowing Russell after it but he
00:36will perhaps only retrieve it third boundary in the over for Smith 16 without
00:42loss height on a chance she hope underneath it and wicked taken to the
00:52recently returned Romario Shepard it's exactly what the West Indies need in the
00:57power play Butler strong down the ground perhaps as opposed to Ben duck it having
01:14Lewis does the cleaning up 22 for one he gets to 30 balls he can really
01:22hurt you in the final 10 overs
01:30two leg buys it's a reminder and I want to come back to you on that this board is
01:35watching his stripe at side on that looks really good today
01:40there is that deep mid wicket
01:48there is that deep mid wicket
01:55it's a feeling of the game
02:05over the ropes it goes to low chairs here at Durham
02:13two full again
02:17and Jamie Smith says thank you for the second time in the over 55 for one
02:25and it was good all the way for six
02:33continue to be full and they continue to go the distance back-to-back sixes for Butler on the charge
02:43and now the scoop he's going through his repertoire here down the ground over mid wicket and now a scoop
02:55full toss and it goes all the way towards the pod so so far six six four six 22 from the over two to go
03:08hard but there is protection out there and it's not going to make any difference at all
03:16he is tying the ball beautifully
03:18the fact that it's held up a little bit I mean that all works in our favour now it looks like it
03:2350 for Butler and it's come
03:30off just 25 balls
03:33three fours three sixes a strike rate of 200 his form in IPL has
03:38followed him back home
03:40and playing those shots everybody loves him to play
03:43might be out he's hit it well but he's hit it straight down the fielder's throat
03:46that's the long boundary that Mark Wood was talking about
03:49the breeze as well would have held the ball up
03:51smith goes
03:54reverse slap what a shot that is from Harry brooke
03:59well it was famously played on this ground a very long time ago
04:04now round the wicket for chase
04:07what the
04:08oh bowled him bowled him that's canny from a very experienced cricketer
04:13big wicket
04:15west indies need wickets
04:17close
04:19close
04:20appeal
04:21given
04:22given out
04:23there'll be a conversation on height
04:25short ball to start
04:32tries to go aerial
04:35and he's got enough of it
04:37I think he was worried for a moment with Jason holder there long on
04:40this could be an interesting two and they're going to get two
04:47tapped perfectly
04:53short side no problem for Jacob Bethel
05:01he does get it into vacant territory this time to square leg one five six before
05:14that is so good so very very good and skillful 86 to Josh Butler might be another two oh direct hit there would have been interesting
05:41inadvertent it may be it's gone fine or maybe Ben
05:48mutler intended but it takes him now closer to a cherished landmark of another hundred
05:58finger goes up and a grown a collective grown goes around the ground from those who would have supported
06:11and there's no one fair gets it fine enough
06:19a welcome boundary to start this final over
06:21a welcome boundary to start this final over
06:26our
06:41important dot
06:47it's gone fine there wasn't a lot wrong with the delivery it was just helped on its way
06:54there is that shovel and that is the problem with bowling short
06:58and you have to just help it on its way
07:00and the pace will take it all the way
07:02opens up the offside
07:07that is excellent batting
07:09really is
07:12there's obviously a lot of power about Charles
07:15but that was a little bit of touch
07:17and just opening up areas
07:19up and over wide mid off
07:25and the fielder Bethel
07:28he stopped it
07:30he went to stop it again
07:32but he realised he couldn't
07:33because his feet were touching the cushion
07:35gone beautifully bowled
07:39beautifully bowled
07:41quick quick slow
07:45that's how he's gone in the eight deliveries
07:48he's bowled
07:49the first one he's flighted up
07:51and he's completely deceived Charles
07:54bowls the short ball
07:57and I reckon he's nicked that
07:59England reckon he's nicked it
08:00and the umpire has heard nothing
08:04just threw the ball up in the air
08:05made it look very out
08:06hasn't got it
08:10and his costume is wicked
08:11Duckett takes a decent catch
08:13running back
08:14catching it sort of over his shoulder
08:16Shay Ho at no point got that out the middle of the bat
08:21and he's heaving away to his first ball
08:26all the way for six
08:28what a counter punch
08:29wait for four
08:37flipped short boundary
08:41with the breeze
08:42six
08:43you've got two ways to go here
08:49to the offside
08:52squirted down the third man
08:54which is vacant
08:54so back to back
08:56boundary six and a four
08:58yeah it's unlucky
08:59for the bowler
09:00with two here
09:02nearly a third
09:04and that's gone away for four
09:06so Bethel under pressure
09:08straight away
09:09smack down the ground
09:14is that another six for Lewis
09:16yes it is
09:17needs to be shorter
09:20does go short
09:24pulled away
09:25big part of the ground
09:26oh that's very close
09:28goes big
09:33Duckett
09:33in front of the pod
09:34steadies himself
09:37no
09:38can't make it
09:39we've seen
09:39players from around the world
09:41pull these amazing catches off
09:43on the boundary
09:43catch it
09:46hacks it again
09:48hasn't got all of it
09:49does it carry
09:49oh that's a brilliant catch
09:51that is a fabulous catch
09:53from Bryden Kars
09:54he had to make so much ground
09:56from off the boundary
09:57and it was flat
09:58coming forward
09:59they are so so challenging
10:01made it look pretty easy
10:02catch it
10:06well it's going to be a similar result
10:07surely
10:07this time Duckett
10:09low to the ground
10:11takes the catch
10:12Bethel
10:15in the previous over
10:17from this end
10:18deep mid wicket
10:19catch

10:31catching practice
10:33at long on
10:34and long off
10:34that's much needed boundary
10:41short wide
10:42and he just found the gap
10:44and used the pace
10:45shoveled fine
10:53and just uses the pace
10:54smart batting

11:18long way up
11:19long hit
11:19man sets himself
11:21and doesn't hardly
11:24get a hand on it
11:25Bethel
11:28one of England's
11:28finest fielders
11:30didn't sound great
11:35off the bat
11:36but it was good enough
11:37that is a shorter hit
11:39and he's just muscled
11:40and he's just muscled
11:40that for six
11:41long way up
11:47long off
11:50in play
11:51Bantam with the catch
11:53England's fielding
11:54in the deep

12:32one of Russell
12:32that's a quick
12:36ball
12:37he's got
