00:04And straight away there's more help for the bowlers, and straight away the big man is right on target.
00:22You've got to know what the batsmen can do in these conditions against such experienced campaigners as Ambrose and Walsh.
00:35And it's taken Alex Stewart 16 balls to get off the mark.
00:43It's passed Hooper and it'll beat Walsh.
00:49That's interesting. It's a heck of a good take from Ridley Jacobs, what a good athlete he looks.
00:59Gone.
01:01Lauer is the catcher.
01:05Stewart would be looking to get the ball away on the offside, has been unable to do so.
01:13Knight on the pull stroke.
01:15All the way.
01:21Brilliant.
01:26I think Ambrose was impressed.
01:33That's amazing timing from Nick Knight.
01:36It was an elegant stroke and when he hit it, you weren't sure he'd get runs for it.
01:40As it is, he's got four.
01:45It's Knight again.
01:46Now they've moved Longleg from there.
01:49They put him square over because of the hook stroke in the last over.
01:52So that's pretty clever batting again.
01:57Slash is hard.
01:59And it's a missed field from Walsh.
02:01It wasn't a very easy ball to stop.
02:04But he's got the stare from one or two teammates.
02:10And goes again.
02:12Couldn't quite gather that as well as the one previously in the over.
02:17A little infuriate Franklin Rose.
02:20It's 63 for one now.
02:25Lovely on drive.
02:28Beautifully timed down the ground.
02:30Rose is as fast as anyone in the West Indies team, but he won't get there.
02:35That is a splendid stroke from Nick Knight.
02:38Shot of the day, really.
02:45Brilliant.
02:47Magnificent return catch.
02:49Ben Holly out goes.
02:52And Franklin Rose finishes off a very effective over,
02:57in which he conceded just one run with that brilliant return catch.
03:01Well, Lewis is on.
03:02Coming on to replace Ambrose.
03:05Ambrose, eight overs for 31.
03:09And he's got him.
03:11So Graham here goes to Lewis once more.
03:16A little bit unfortunate, perhaps.
03:18But very tentative.
03:20And the West Indies have pulled things back with wickets and successive overs.
03:29That's his 50th run.
03:31So Nick Knight follows his 100 here on Sunday with another half century.
03:38And how well he is played.
03:42And the typical Nick Knight slashed through the covers for four.
03:46We've seen that a couple of times on Sunday and once already today.
03:54That's a good shot from Mark Rampakesh.
03:56That's a very well thought out stroke.
04:02Yeah.
04:05Use of the feet by Knight is so sharp.
04:09And Rose hangs his head almost in disbelief.
04:17But to hurry here.
04:21I think I heard a big knight scream and rapper cash.
04:25Go!
04:27Hooper is the field.
04:28They're the one handed pick up.
04:33That would have to say is in.
04:42Very good shot, Ram Rakesh, it wasn't unlike the way Kyle Hooper would play that sort of
04:46stroke, but the minimum of effort and lovely use of the hands through the ball.
04:52That was beautiful to play.
04:54That's exactly where the long off would have been.
05:01That's gone.
05:02That's a big one.
05:04That's gone right out of the ground, in fact, gone into the tenantry across the road.
05:14Area surrounding Kensham Noble here.
05:20Fielder into his lap.
05:23So Roald Lewis gets his revenge for that big six.
05:28He couldn't have picked out Ambrose more accurately under the scoreboard and Ram Prakash goes.
05:40How is that back?
05:43There goes Lafenga.
05:45Simmons very happy and as soon as he hit the pad I think he knew he had him.
05:49So Nick Knight falling short of another hundred and Simmons in the first over of a new spell
05:55picking up the wicket.
06:01There's a shout from Courtney Walsh.
06:04There's a problem at the other end for Mark Elam.
06:07Now Walsh certainly got a touch on the ball.
06:10Had Adam Hollyoak batting it back in his ground?
06:13I'm not sure he had.
06:15Flicks the hand.
06:17Now, Lukashe is back onto the stumps.
06:20The decision is, is he back?
06:23I would say that the bail is dislodged.
06:26The line does not belong to the groundsman, to the batsman and I think that's the right decision.
06:31Very unlucky way to get out.
06:36Up and over, there's no third man.
06:43I would have to say that boundary more by luck than judgment.
06:52That's away for four over mid wicket.
07:02Well, that's a superb stroke.
07:06Just one bounce for four.
07:09Put the fielders on the leg side, I'll hit it over extra cover.
07:12Thank you very much.
07:17He's gone for the short boundary and he's found it.
07:22A magnificent strike from Mark Elam.
07:26A very productive over for England, 17 runs coming from it.
07:30They're now 196 for six.
07:35Brakes and bolt as Brown goes for an expansive reverse sweep comes Slob.
07:41He missed it completely.
07:44And the off-stump's knocked back.
07:45And the off-stump's knocked back.
07:45Simmons gets a width.
07:49Bit of width and smashed away by Fleming.
07:56I think he thinks it's gone for six.
08:00He's changing his signal to a six.
08:07Oh, well played.
08:09It's beautifully played from Elam.
08:11That's a lesson to Dougie Brown if he's watching, try to play the reverse sweep.
08:21Clubbed away this time on the leg side.
08:24Six more for Elam.
08:27Oh, well Eddie Nicholson's signal four.
08:29Just inside the rope.
08:34Hammond away over wide mid-off.
08:36Four more this time.
08:47Top edge that.
08:48Ambrose is coming in.
08:50And has caught it.
08:53Well taken catch by Kirtley Ambrose.
08:56Simmons sees the end of Elam.
08:59He has scored a very brisk 45.
09:06Slower ball and...
09:10Pulled away for the foot.
09:13Short again and Fleming pulls that away for another four.
09:24Slower ball.
09:26Heaved over mid-off.
09:28But straight to Stuart Williams.
09:30And Fleming's dash ends.
09:35Slow delivery from Kirtley Ambrose.
09:37Not the most this guy's slow delivery you'll ever see.
09:40But he didn't manage to get enough back onto that.
09:43Matthew Fleming.
09:44And Stuart Williams takes the catch.
09:47That's a good shot.
09:49That really is a good stroke from Robert Croft.
09:51Inside out over extra cover for four.
09:59He's played that well as well.
10:01That was very nearly a Yorker.
10:05And Crofts ended up squeezing it away on the offside for four more.
10:09Last ball.
10:12Bold.
10:13Middle stump Yorker.
10:15Ends England's innings.
10:18266 all out in 50 overs.
10:21Ambrose gets it dead right.
10:24The last ball of the innings.
10:28Well struck.
10:29Well struck.
10:29One for six.
10:33Remarkable stroke.
10:36Dean Headley was bowling a very good line at Clayton Lambert.
10:39But that one straight and swung I think onto leg stump.
10:43Lambert's very strong in that area.
10:49Deliberately over the top.
10:54Whether it's a test match or one day international doesn't make much difference to Philip Wallace.
11:02That's a big one.
11:05That is a big blow.
11:06Absolutely straight back down the ground.
11:09Don't the crowd love it.
11:16Well he never guessed what Ireland Philo Wallace is from.
11:24Beautifully struck.
11:33Every ball is now being punished that isn't of perfect line and length.
11:40That's it.
11:45Well let's see what the umpire will say here.
11:49Wallace is standing his ground or he's going back.
11:51He's asking the umpire.
11:52Yes he's giving him out.
11:55Took it cleanly no question.
11:56Trying to go over the top.
11:59And a low catch.
12:01Took good timing to catch it.
12:10It does seem as if this white ball is flying all over the place.
12:14More than the red one would.
12:17But again.
12:19He likes it I think.
12:26Now it's Lara's turn.
12:32What a way to get off the mark.
12:40He's got him.
12:41Very very slack running by Lambert.
12:44That's gone.
12:46Magnificent fielding by England.
12:49It's Nick Knight in fact.
12:50Coming in from cover.
12:51Look at that save to begin with.
12:53Slack running.
12:54And Lambert just ambling home.
12:56And is gone by a long way.
13:03Dismissive.
13:05That is.
13:07Absolutely.
13:09Dismissive.
13:10Arrogant.
13:10Call it what you will.
13:13Comparison.
13:15Quite staggering.
13:17Different circumstances at the start of the England innings.
13:23Oh.
13:24Just out of reach.
13:26Matthew Fleming with the despairing dive.
13:29But it's four more to Lara.
13:38Hammered.
13:40Through.
13:40Wide mid on for four.
13:42Quite deliberately worked on the leg side.
13:44By Brian Lara.
13:47And he's in the frame.
13:48Caught.
13:50Caught.
13:51Caught by Ramprakash.
13:52Lara has gone.
13:53Headley has got a wicket.
13:55The West Indies are 79 for three.
14:03Over the top.
14:04It's a classic Hooper stroke that.
14:07It's got him four.
14:13It's four.
14:14No question about that.
14:23With the game.
14:24And four more.
14:32And no change in the tempo of the play.
14:35Stuart Williams.
14:37Has played an exquisite cool stroke.
14:40Off Dougie Brown.
14:49That's very good steady stuff indeed from the Kent all-rounder.
14:53He's come on and immediately built three overs for five runs when the Dougie Brown and Dean Headley were going
14:58all around the park.
14:59In the field.
15:01Off Dougie Brown and Dean Headley.
15:04Off Dougie Brown and Dean Headley.
15:04Have to hurry.
15:05Very slack indeed.
15:08Williams just coasting through.
15:10Didn't seem to realize the danger.
15:13just get the feeling here that the team which keeps its nerve which
15:17maintains the basics doesn't do anything silly get home
