00:00hello and welcome to the Rose Bowl in Southampton for the second semi-final
00:04between West Indies and Pakistan it's a chilly morning here at Southampton and
00:10it was Pakistan that won the toss and they decided to bat first the pitch had
00:17quite a bit of grass on it there were some dry patches as well that's probably
00:21what prompted the decision by Inzamam to bat first because he reckoned the ball
00:25will turn later but there was absolutely no doubt in anyone's mind that there
00:29would be plenty of movement early on the West Indies stream fresh from their
00:33win against the South Africans playing pretty much the same side very strong
00:38batting lineup plenty of depth in the batting as well and then lower down the
00:41order if you see they've got the the bowlers Ian Bradshaw and Corey Colomo
00:46Pakistan on the other hand Salman Butt playing his first one-day international
00:50he replaces Imran Farhat but otherwise if you look at their side pretty much
00:55the same side that beat India very strong bowling attack as well
00:58Naveedul Hassan, Mohammad Sami and of course Shoaib Akhtar
01:03so Pakistan winning the toss deciding to bat first and let's join our commentators
01:08first up is Ian Bishop and Nasser Hussain
01:19Pakistan are off the mark straightaway
01:21interesting decision Nasser, Inzamam said that he feels that this pitch will spin later down
01:35second half of this match you buy into that yeah I think so I know England when
01:41England played here against Sri Lanka a few days ago they were thinking about
01:45batting first because this pitch it is not a win the toss win the game surface
01:49because it does it all the way through and towards the end of the game it does
01:53get a bit tired and does turn it just worries me it's a bit of a gamble from
01:58Inzamam because you can lose this game in the first hour and the West Indies
02:03love to chase he's played right into the West Indies hand it's a gamble
02:11but I suppose you have to also play to your strengths Inzamam feels that his
02:16strength is with his spinners post a score and then later on the pressure of
02:22chasing in a semi-final with two spinners Freedy has already got wickets
02:27in this tournament Shoaib Malik he has a strong West Indies batting lineup to get
02:32through later the first thing Pakistan have to do is set a score 200 200 plus
02:37is a good score
02:40gone
02:45wicket for Bradshaw but is the man that's gone back to the pavilion West
02:52Indies are on fire straight away
02:56well there's the gamble you win the toss and you bat at the Rose Bowl you send a
03:02young debutant in take the new ball the white ball grips in this grass it seems
03:10straight to straight to Sarwan and he's gone
03:17Salman but goes for nought on debut Pakistan one for one
03:26that's gone for four first boundary of the day 15 for one
03:34this will lift the confidence in the Pakistan dressing room a boundary always
03:39cheers the team up especially when you've won the toss elected to bat on a
03:44bit of a seeming pitch Yasser Hameed has looked very good
03:56little shot and Yasser Hameed gets another boundary Bradshaw will be
04:01disappointed all he needs to do is to push the ball up he was shot in that
04:05occasion not too sure why he wants the bowling shot okay the first one you
04:12could say perhaps he wasn't quite sure he was going to try something a little
04:15bit different it got hit for four so why did he think this one would have been
04:19anything different again it goes for four not the right length especially
04:26under these conditions and at his pace
04:37Oh great delivery he's got to put it there
04:42and get that natural slant he can get the ball to swing away it'll be a bonus
04:48two slips waiting for an edge
04:52in the air but safe
04:59Shoaib Malik is keen to come back for the third not to be
05:06Hines recovered
05:14Hines of the Ryan variety
05:18both Hines on the onside
05:21Ryan Hines certainly bowled very well against South Africa up at the Oval
05:24different pitch conditions there
05:34that's a nice shot
05:39the way Will Hines chasing the ball will win the race
05:44a welcome boundary for Shoaib Malik Pakistan ends on a high note in this
05:49over 29 for one
05:56edge but he played it down
06:00that's gone
06:04Polymore will be disappointed because it was a pretty good delivery
06:09the credit to Yasser Hameed for keeping the ball down playing it with soft
06:13hands
06:16nothing the bowler did wrong there but that's just the nature of the one day
06:19game nature of limited overs cricket two slips in place so the ball goes a bit
06:24wide of his second slip
06:28no ball is the call
06:32Simon Taufel calling the no ball
06:35Will Hines earlier on was doing a bit of chasing down by the third man area
06:39couldn't stop in time
06:42used to the athletics at school as well Will Hines played football played
06:45cricket athletics a little bit of table tennis
06:50anything that was going really
06:54anything that was going really
07:04I think he is reversing his decision
07:09he was well in Simon Taufel
07:13is telling the batsman that it wasn't a no ball
07:16gone it was Apesh but away from Ricardo Powell
07:21Bradshaw took his time to return the ball allowed the batsman to come back
07:24for the second
07:34just wide of Ricardo Powell
07:38went pretty much on
07:41backward square line and Ricardo Powell is just behind square not that far behind
08:00very close inside edge probably saving Shoaib Malik there
08:05that one came back sharply from the left
08:09that one came back sharply from Bravo
08:17half of an appeal really Bravo was the one who really went up
08:20quite versatile not a great deal of support coming from behind the stumps
08:33that's good way in the air
08:37Yasser Amey has struck it well enough
08:40that ball will cross over for four
08:44that's his fourth boundary
08:48guess what we have had three short balls from the West Indies bowlers so far in this game
08:53and guess what 12 runs
08:58dumbfounded
09:00why would you want to bowling short on a pitch like this
09:03unless you are bowling at 90 miles an hour of course
09:16that's gone through
09:19Yasser Amey will come back for two I think
09:22two leg buys will be signaled
09:25or did he get him back to it I think
09:28given his runs
09:34probably hit the glove on the way through
09:37yes definitely a bit of glove
09:42struggling a little bit Colin Moore bowling his seventh over on the trot
09:46his figures are good
09:51that's a nice drive lovely shot from Yasser Amey
09:56Ricardo Powell will recover it
09:59they pick up three
10:02nine off the over Pakistan 45 for one
10:09it's a ball shot
10:12and that ball is rewarded with another boundary
10:19with the usual accompaniment
10:22it's not a varied orchestra this but it's persistent
10:25yes good atmosphere
10:29now he's done the bulk of the scoring Yasser Amey
10:32and the good thing with the shot is the intent
10:35it's positive there's no half measures whatsoever
10:40even though it was a patient who's always going to reach the boundary
10:47five boundaries for him
10:50it's going to bring the 50 up
10:56wide livery swinging even further wide
11:0250 for one it is then
11:05and the partnership is now 49
11:11that's to the offside again
11:14not having the best of luck
11:17can't quite control this cricket ball
11:20it's either up there to be hit
11:23or too wide to be reached
11:26it's been a very expensive over already
11:29already costing 11
11:32I wonder if it doesn't warrant a bowling change
11:35even if it is Chris Gale or anyone who can just slow things up
11:38because Pakistan are getting away
11:41that is a good shot
11:44that is a good shot
11:47the weight going into the shot
11:52he's an exciting young player Yasser Hameed
11:55and a good start to his international career
12:02beautiful delivery
12:05it's done everything but clip those stumps
12:08it's the extra bounce
12:11that's saved Shoaib Bullock here
12:14that went right on top of the middle stump
12:18he's nowhere near it
12:21that is a cracking delivery
12:25watch it right on top of said stump
12:37too wide but hasn't been given
12:4164 for 1 is the score
12:52well run is it
12:55they've pushed their luck maybe
12:58it's a great throw
13:01looked innocuous to start with
13:04Yasser Hameed was
13:07always intent on coming back for the second
13:10but the throw was spot on
13:13Dwayne Bravo might have had a few problems getting the radar right
13:16when he was bowling earlier today
13:19but this throw right over the stumps
13:22where's the batsman getting
13:25he's not made it has he
13:28he's well out
13:31Courtney Brown able to take it
13:35just what the West Indies wanted
13:38the rub of the green going their way
13:41and what a waste of a wicket
13:44Yasser Hameed who's done all the hard work
13:47and the bulk of the scoring
13:50has only himself to blame
13:53good throw by Bravo from the deep
13:56have a look at this he's well short of his ground
13:59just what West Indies wanted
14:04fine innings by the young man he goes for 39
14:0765 for 2 Pakistan
14:14gone quite fine
14:17Colin Waugh will get round in time though
14:35you can see West Indies
14:38would have been very happy being
14:41asked to field they like chasing
14:48don't think he's done enough
14:51it's enough to cause a little bit of concern
14:54but Enzema will survive that easily enough
14:57he's 3-0 down at 68 for 2
15:04oh that's lost it but wide
15:09again though Hameed we're seeing
15:12Shoaib Malik turning with his back towards the ball
15:17something he's got to learn and learn very quickly
15:20he's got to be facing the fielder
15:23so that he's in a better position to call for the second one
15:26running hard I thought he was not interested
15:29in the second Enzema there
15:323-0 from him
15:40to get at least 2 here again Ryan Hines
15:43the man doing the fielding
15:52edged and gone didn't need a slip
15:55went straight to the wicket keeper
15:58this was always on the cards
16:01Shoaib Malik tried his best to stay out there
16:04but in the end a soft dismissal
16:07trying to work the ball away for a run
16:10he'll be disappointed after spending a lot of time out there
16:13and the West Indians are delighted
16:16nothing delivery
16:19made into a very good one by the batsman
16:22he's a happy man Pakistan
16:25sliding 71 for 3 as Shoaib Malik
16:28after scoring 17
16:36more runs
16:39Yusuf Yohanna off the mark with a couple
16:46didn't hit the ball hard
16:53a very good timer of the ball there you see
16:56leaning into that drive through mid wicket
17:01when the ball is doing a bit you need to be
17:04extra careful as amply demonstrated there by Yohanna
17:12got through the gap with Hines again doing the fielding
17:17bit of hesitation with Enzema
17:20bit of hesitation with Yusuf Yohanna also
17:23he didn't look to hit the ball hard
17:26I think he probably misjudged the length there
17:29full toss really didn't go hard at it
17:32opening the face
17:35well he found the gap to perfection
17:38was just a little surprised
17:41Enzema was waiting for the ball to pass the fielders
17:44and there stutter
17:47stutter
17:53there it is another chance
17:56really does play on your mind when you've been involved
17:59in run outs in the past
18:04indecision
18:07never trust your partners judgement and I believe
18:10if Lara had hit here he has a look up aim
18:13Hinse would have been gone again
18:1633 times 37 times in fact
18:19he's been run out in the past
18:22it never looked like it was going to be a good judge
18:25of a run from the time
18:28it was hit to Lara's right
18:33that might run away for 4
18:36may not in fact Bravo does well again
18:40well it could have been
18:43two wickets and two balls the run out
18:46then the edge
18:49no slip
18:52still plenty of movement on this surface
18:55if someone like Waver Hines can run up
18:58and get it to seem away
19:01quality player like Enzema
19:04shows there's plenty left in this surface
19:10Bravo's got him
19:13Johanna's gone
19:16another good delivery testing teasing on the off stump
19:19and that's a big one for the West Indies
19:25the West Indies have been past the edge on numerous occasions
19:28Bravo found the edge of show
19:31Malik's back and this time it's Yusuf Johanna
19:34just following the seeming delivery
19:37he's had a fantastic summer
19:40Dwayne Bravo with bat, ball and in the field
19:43really is the heartbeat of this West Indian side
19:46the young lad's got rid of the dangerous Yusuf Johanna
19:49he fails for once
19:52Pakistan 100 for 4
19:58just snuck past Chris Gale
20:02it's very fortuitous for Razak
20:07and it's the first boundary for Pakistan in 17 overs
20:15back to channel for Bravo
20:18Razak had enough of leaving it, he went after it
20:21there was a slip, Chris Gale
20:24just away from him
20:31this is a risk
20:34well, as he called for it
20:37Simon Topper has
20:40the throw was just a little bit off target from Bravo
20:43not as good as the one
20:46which he got in to dismiss Yaza Ami
20:49earlier in the morning
20:52which you never know
20:55well, Bravo throws the ball
20:58which you never know
21:29this is from the better angle
21:32well, you can't see the bat
21:41won't be able to make a decision on that
21:44for the third umpire
21:47because you can't see where the bat is at an appropriate time
21:50and if you can't see, the umpire cannot give it out
21:53can't see where the bales are
21:56when they've come off
22:02this is an interesting one and he's given it out
22:05well, that's an interesting one
22:07Bravo does it again nevertheless
22:09two run outs
22:10in which he's been responsible for
22:15well, I think Razak has been hard done by
22:18benefit of the doubt, whether it be first umpire
22:21second umpire, third umpire, fourth umpire
22:24whatever you want, has to go with the batsman
22:27there is doubt in this
22:28where are the bales?
22:33from the angles that the third umpire was shown
22:36you couldn't see when the bales came off
22:38Razak goes, big wicket
22:40lots of controversy
22:41Pakistan, 109 for 5
22:47well, it's gone through into the gloves
22:50it's a little turnaround
22:53from Nzamaam
22:54he didn't want to know, he didn't want to admit
22:56that he'd nicked it
22:57he didn't want to look at the umpire
22:59he turned his back on him
23:01but that is the most important blow of the day
23:04for the West Indies
23:07yes, absolutely right
23:08Nzamaam Mulhaq was looking to stay out there
23:11there was swing for Wavell Hines
23:13that front foot not to the pitch
23:15a lazy shot from Nzamaam Mulhaq
23:17and a real bonus for Wavell Hines
23:20he's overjoyed, great effort from him
23:23to get rid of the Pakistani skipper
23:26gone for 21
23:27Pakistan slipping further
23:29111 for 6
23:35he's given it
23:36finger goes up in a hurry from Daryl Hare
23:42and I have to say
23:43it looked as though both Wavell Hines and Courtney Brown
23:46weren't entirely convinced by their own appeals
23:49but it was good enough for Daryl Hare
23:51he's seen all he needs to
23:53Mohin Khan gone for a duck
23:58lay it across that out swinger
24:01Wavell Hines jumped in the air
24:03and then got the verdict in his favour
24:06surprised a little
24:08but I thought it was a good decent decision in the end
24:11gone for not Mohin Khan
24:12Pakistan 7 down now for 112
24:20no doubt about that one
24:21Corey Collymore has pitched it up a bit further than normal
24:24got the rewards due
24:28Naveed ul Hassan gone very quickly today
24:31Pakistan further and further
24:34sinking into the quicksand here at the Rose Bowl
24:40good balling from Collymore
24:45he was straight this time
24:47hitting the target
24:51was helped by Urana Naveed ul Hassan
24:54there's a gap between bat and pad
25:01another one falls gone for not Naveed ul Hassan
25:04Pakistan 8 down now for 116
25:10got you
25:11he's had a go at it that is for sure
25:13he's not quite timed it but he has found the gap
25:17aimed it perfectly between the man at deep mid wicket
25:20and the man at long on
25:23something finally for the Pakistan supporters to shout about
25:27the idea is right from Afridi
25:31although Mohammad Sami is a fighter but he can't trust his partner
25:34because I don't think he's technically equipped to handle the swing
25:37and the conditions
25:43beautifully balls
25:45lovely bowling from Corey Collymore
25:47doing exactly what Brian Lara wanted from him
25:50he's hit the stumps for the second time now
25:54he's got Pakistan
25:57on the brink here
25:599 down for 125
26:02Mohammad Sami will be disappointed with this
26:05back foot defensive shot
26:08in two months there wanting it to leave
26:11then decided to play it a little bit of inside edge
26:15and Corey Collymore has picked up another wicket
26:18he's got two now
26:20Pakistan on 9 down for 125
26:22Mohammad Sami gone for not
26:29well he hits it a long way that's gone
26:34that's why
26:36he intends to have a go Shahid Afridi
26:40now that is a big hit but you can be rest assured
26:44he's going to take his chances against Chris Gayle
26:47his eyes must have lit up when he saw Lara giving Gayle another over
26:51with Pakistan 9 down
26:54he's going to make the most of this over
26:56but having said that that gives Gayle a chance as well to pick up a wicket
27:01he's going to go for broke Shahid Afridi
27:09and he's gone
27:16well he's gone
27:18he said it Ravi he was going to give it everything
27:21swung so hard that he lost his balance left the crease
27:24and that's the end of the innings
27:27and what a performance by the West Indies
27:30this is after Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat first
27:34I mentioned in my earlier stint that it was a bold decision
27:37to bat first
27:40this is a good piece of glove work
27:42leg in the air and not quite back
27:47and he lost his balance as well
27:49the finger went up the third umpire not called for
27:54and Brown has had a good day behind the stump
27:57four victims
27:59Pakistan
28:01131 all out
28:03and that's the sixth lowest one day international score
28:06against the West Indies
28:10so Pakistan bowled out for 131 in 38.2 overs
28:13and a disappointing performance there
28:16Yasir Hamid making 39 he was the top scorer
28:18but once he departed
28:20it just was a regular procession from Pakistan's point of view
28:23just four other batsmen reaching double figures
28:26and in the end bowled out inside 50 overs
28:29the West Indies bowling card makes good reading
28:31two wickets for Corey Colombo
28:33he bowled fast and he bowled straight
28:35two wickets for Bravo as well
28:37Abel Hines got into the act
28:39good figures there 10 overs 2 for 27
28:41and one wicket for Chris Gayle as well
28:45so the target for the West Indies
28:47when they come out is 132 runs
28:50we'll take a short break and we'll come back
28:52we'll see how West Indies go about their chase
29:01it's good to get bat on that
29:11and the reason that Shobhakta's hands are on his head
29:15is because Abel Hines he got good bat on it
29:18just seemed to be pretty straight
29:23just off the inner half of the bat
29:30into swing
29:33into seam for Shobhakta back into the left hand
29:36as there's two slips in the gully
29:39WBW also in play
29:42Shobhakta can swing or seam the ball back in
29:45to Chris Gayle
29:50might be a bit high
29:52Chris Gayle is a tall man
29:55and he's got a lot of speed
29:58he's a tall man and he's just rubbing
30:03that leg
30:13Heptar just asking the umpire was it a bit high
30:16pitched in line
30:19Hawkeye would say going over middle stump
30:22good decision
30:31that could be close
30:33it's gone
30:35pace, high pace
30:38what's important is that Shobhakta has hit the length
30:53Heptar finds the length for Chris Gayle
30:56did it pitch in line?
30:58no
31:00everything else was right about it
31:02it looked out
31:05middle stump
31:07most of the way out
31:08it looked out but the basic rule
31:10did it pitch in line? no
31:13Chris Gayle
31:14very unfortunate
31:16it's gone for one
31:17West Indies 8 for 1
31:24there's an energy around the ground
31:26once Shobhakta hits his mark and starts running in
31:29the Pakistani supporters
31:31their expectation
31:34I think that is why Umpire Toffle
31:37just got carried away in the situation
31:39very difficult 90 plus mile an hour
31:42to see whether a ball is pitching in line or not
31:48Shobhakta he thought it was out
31:50it was an exceptional ball
31:51an exceptional appeal
31:52the crowd were up
31:53the noise was deafening
31:57replay comes on the big screen
32:01they know they might have got away with one
32:07it's pace
32:08isn't it, it's pace
32:10this is 95 miles per hour
32:14the quickest ball of the match so far
32:22also kept a bit low
32:31no idea how that missed
32:36this is the danger ball from Mohamed Sami
32:39again because of his trajectory
32:41full ball just keeps coming at you as a batsman
32:44you think you have a lot of time
32:46and then all of a sudden it's underneath you
32:48it's swinging back into you
32:50it just keeps on coming at you
32:52swinging in
32:54straight through the legs
32:56of Wable Hines
32:59Pakistanis are fired up
33:02it's the other side of it
33:09when it comes at high pace
33:11all you need to do is get back on it
33:13you don't have to hit it too hard
33:15three runs is the end result
33:26good shot
33:27that should be four
33:29good timing
33:30using the pace of the delivery
33:32Ramnaros Sarwan is strong in that area
33:38left hand right hand combination
33:40working for the West Indies
33:43one bonus of losing an early wicket
33:45you have a right hander in
33:47Mohamed Sami has to adjust
33:49didn't adjust the right hander
33:51straight down the leg side
33:53Sarwan the man in form
33:55just using the pace on the ball
33:57clip
33:58four
34:08oh that was class
34:11really was
34:13to end the over
34:1524-1 after four
34:24talk about reaction time
34:28that was
34:30special
34:31from Shoaib Akhtar
34:33remember he's in full motion
34:35full tilt
34:47oh what a cricketer he is
34:49hit straight back at him
34:51he goes to catch it two hands
34:54his hands scissor
34:56and he ends up catching it in the left hand
34:59you don't expect when you're hurtling in
35:01bowling it at 95 mile an hour
35:03for the ball to come back to you
35:05Wavel Heinz gone
35:06caught and bowled Akhtar for five
35:08West Indies 20 for two
35:15it's almost predictable that
35:16the full length delivery
35:18would have been straight up
35:20in quality of the task
35:27well here's the wicket
35:28Wavel Heinz drills it back at Akhtar
35:30who in his follow through
35:32it was a good height to catch
35:33but it was still a sensational catch
35:36Wavel Heinz can't quite believe it
35:38goes through his
35:40right hand ends up in his left
35:42he throws it up
35:44he's on fire
35:46Ralpindi Express
35:48goes to catch it two hands
35:50ends up in one
35:57just know how good a player is
36:02when he has so much time
36:04to play the ball
36:06almost delivered at 95 miles per hour
36:08and Sarwan looked all at ease
36:10six off the over
36:12it's 26 for two
36:19enthusiasm from all concerned
36:22keeper, first slip, bowler
36:24no response from the umpire
36:27Ram Naresh Sarwan being tested
36:29Shoaib Akhtar at his brilliant best
36:33shorter in length this time
36:35it was a quick one
36:39missed the back, missed the gloves
36:42missed everything
36:48it's over the top
36:50just chipped, chipped over cover
36:52it's a free day after it
36:56so Shoaib Malik after it
37:01not running for that
37:0230 for two
37:11long leg, very square
37:14that ball went along the line
37:16where the orthodox long leg normally would be
37:23Zaman Mulhaq is putting pressure on Rana Naveedi
37:26he's got a very very strong offside field
37:28just two men on the on
37:31that ball drifted on that leg stump
37:34in an easy four for Ram Naresh Sarwan
37:36all he had to do was to beat Shoaib Akhtar
37:38who was very square
37:48well that's gone for six
37:52certainly got hold of that one
37:58this one has gone right out of the meat of the bat
38:01and cleared the ropes
38:03what a good shot from Ram Naresh Sarwan
38:05he was quickly in position
38:07judged the link perfectly
38:10swivel and away it went
38:12that one was hit of the middle of the bat
38:17fine shot
38:19one bounce
38:21and four this time
38:23Mohammad Sami has a problem
38:25with the length he's bowling on this pitch here
38:27he's wasting his opportunities here
38:29but Sarwan is taking his
38:3148 for two
38:35couple of lovely shots
38:37this one was thrown into the wind
38:39but still carried a long way
38:41two extra cover
38:43it's a quick outfield here at the Rose Bowl
38:49no chance of cutting that off
38:51so the 50 comes up
38:53West Indies move on
38:55they're 52 for two
39:01bringing up the West Indies 50
39:03with an elegant shot
39:05high backhand
39:07moving nicely into that drive
39:09although didn't have
39:11the Brian Lara balance on it
39:13he lost the grip
39:15but he timed it well enough
39:17to go to the boundary
39:19high backlift and stroking the ball away
39:21beautifully
39:33well just a little bit too short
39:35well just a little bit too short
39:37not very short but just too short
39:39and Brian Lara might
39:41even have anticipated something along
39:43those lines simply because he was
39:45so quickly in the position
39:47that it just made it appear as though he was ready
39:49and waiting for that one
39:51Rana Naveed can be predictable
39:53with this line because he's only medium pace
39:55not very
39:57pacey all the adjustment was done
39:59by Brian Lara went back
40:01to create a little bit of width
40:04nicely played
40:13now that's a fabulous shot
40:17that is typical West Indian
40:21the weights on the back foot
40:23while he smashes it
40:25through the offside
40:33well we have seen Brian Lara
40:35look a bit awkward at the crease on so many occasions
40:37this summer
40:39jumping across to the off stump
40:41but absolutely nothing wrong with that
40:43particular shot
40:45oh yes that's celebrating
40:50now
40:52he's lucky to get away with that
40:54he'll get another boundary
40:56but that could so easily have gone
40:58anywhere up in the air on the offside
41:00it wasn't far from the man
41:02third man
41:04so it's all
41:06West Indies at the moment
41:08I suppose you could almost
41:10say that was premeditated
41:12because I think he thought to himself
41:14that full ball was driven this is going to be a little bit short
41:16and he's good enough to pull
41:18balls that are not very short
41:20just fractionally short and he thought to himself
41:22it's going to be short I'm going to play this shot
41:24and perhaps it just was a fraction fuller
41:26than he thought it would have been
41:29oh he
41:31just gets the feeling he's going after everything
41:33three boundaries on the trot
41:37the first one in total control
41:39but the next two will come off the edges
41:42but West Indies will take it
41:46this partnership now worth 54
41:53now that is a quick delivery it's hit Lara
41:59now he got into an awkward position
42:01and he's in pain this has hit him
42:03I reckon in the back of the head
42:05or somewhere near the eye as he's pointing
42:12that is nasty
42:14Shoaib Akhtar the first man
42:16to run across to Lara
42:22and not a pretty sight Michael
42:24no not at all
42:26that's something they like to see on a cricket field
42:28and just from Lara's reaction
42:30when he got hit you know that has hurt him
42:32you could just see the way
42:34Lara reacted
42:36you watch here
42:38the way he reacts after being hit
42:40it's an awkward position
42:42he's missed the bat
42:44it's just under his neck
42:48the way he goes down
42:50he knows he's in pain
42:56it seems as if it has hit the neck
42:58and possibly just under the jaw there
43:00Ravi
43:02and one would hope that it is more neck
43:04than jaw because there is nothing in the neck
43:06to break really at the front of it
43:08at any rate any bones would be in the back
43:10and that should not be a problem
43:12if it has hit the jaw
43:14that could create a problem or two
43:16but I would hope not
43:20seems to be going off the field though
43:22nothing wrong with that
43:24that's a precautionary move by Brian Lara
43:26and of course Andrew
43:28absolutely nothing wrong with that
43:30don't need any heroes out there
43:32make sure everything is right
43:38now a loud shout
43:40but the umpire obviously reckoning
43:42it was doing too much
43:44also got to check the height
43:48it looked fairly straight
43:50what was the height
43:52what was the height all about
43:54that's the important thing I would think
44:02it was straight enough
44:04what about height
44:06that was the problem
44:08just going over the top
44:10mid stump over the top
44:14he's found the gap
44:16nice shot
44:18he's been trying in this innings
44:20he's got that cut shot
44:22and he's timed it well enough to go over the boundary line
44:30they're enjoying themselves
44:34Ramna Rasawan included
44:40the thing about him is that he's been finding the gaps today
44:42he's now hit five boundaries
44:46timing is always good
44:48because he's one of those touch players
44:50doesn't need to hit it too hard
44:52to give enjoyment to many
45:00he's had success this summer
45:02with shots like that
45:06nice drive through the offside
45:08also raises West Indies 100
45:12eased into that drive
45:14they've got enough time out there
45:16to discuss that shot
45:18nice easy drive
45:26unusual way of playing a cricket shot
45:28but it is effective
45:36that's gone in the air
45:38will it be taken
45:40and taken by Salman
45:42and taken by Salman
45:46Chander Paul
45:48throwing his wicket away in the end
45:50there was no need really to play that
45:52slog sweep
45:54Shoaib Malik has picked up a wicket here
45:58he'll be disappointed in that
46:00he doesn't like giving his wicket away
46:02at the best of times
46:06could have played it defensively
46:08could have just tried to work it into the leg side for one
46:10went for the extravagant shot
46:14and has lost his wicket
46:16when he gets back into the dressing room
46:18he'll think, well maybe I should have done it a different way
46:20he's gone for 11
46:22it's 102 for 3
46:30sliding down the leg side
46:40it needed to hold its line
46:42that was my initial reaction as well
46:44from here
46:50well maybe not
46:54looks as though it might have gone on to hit leg stump
46:56an edge will carry the ball away
46:58for a boundary
47:00good couple of deliveries
47:02from Abdul Razak
47:04first one to Ramna Ray Sirwan
47:06the replay
47:08showing that the batsman was
47:10very lucky really to escape
47:12that leg before shot
47:14and that's the end of the match
47:16and it's the end of the match
47:18and it's the end of the match
47:20and it's the end of the match
47:22and it's the end of the match
47:24that leg before shot
47:28and then it is
47:30Ricardo Paul who was squared up
47:36through the slipcord for a 4
47:42that's gone over the
47:44top of Moin Khan
47:46quick bounceder
47:48from Abdul Razak, given his leg bias
47:50West Indy is moved further
47:52They are 113 for 3.
47:57That's gone straight down the ground.
48:00That brings up the 50 for Rana Esarwan.
48:02Another half century.
48:07He is a fine player now.
48:0913.50 in his 72nd match.
48:13His 6th in one day is in 2004.
48:17So the consistency is back.
48:18And that was a top shot.
48:20What you got to watch was the timing of that movement.
48:22It wasn't early.
48:24It's just when Razak had rolled his arm over, did Sarwan make the move.
48:35They're looking for 2 here.
48:36Kada Powell is quick.
48:38Gets back easily.
48:51Just one scoring shot needed now.
48:54Just a 4.
49:02Yes, it would be a comprehensive win for the West Indies.
49:06Really have outplayed Pakistan today.
49:14That'll be at least 2.
49:16Possibly 3.
49:17It's gone well behind square.
49:20Coming back for the 3rd, Powell.
49:22He's quick.
49:23Sarwan is the one going to the end zone and has to dive.
49:26He gets there though.
49:30Still laughing.
49:31131 for 3.
49:38You can see the funny side of it.
49:41He's worked hard during this knock.
49:43The last thing he would want is to be run out.
49:45So desperate stuff.
49:48From Sarwan, it means the West Indies have tied the scores.
49:52Just one required to win.
50:06That was really good commitment there from Ramneris Sarwan at the end of the last over.
50:10West Indies tying the score.
50:12Just one to win and he's still diving in.
50:15A bit of jubilation on the West Indies balcony.
50:20All the members of the squad out on the front.
50:24Front of the dressing room.
50:28I think they know now they are in the final.
50:31Yes, and a very happy team.
50:33This man will be pondering over the decision to bat first.
50:36That's for sure.
50:38So that's it.
50:39So that's it.
50:43Yusuf Yohanna bowling that last delivery.
50:45West Indies through to the final of the ICC knockout.
50:51And a very convincing win by 7 wickets.
50:57Spectators happy.
50:59Dressing room happy.
51:02Ramneris Sarwan once again the finisher.
51:0456 not out.
51:09Pakistan on go back thinking they played some good cricket.
51:13But they were outplayed today.
51:17So West Indies reaching their target of 132 quite comfortably.
51:21132 for 3 there.
51:23You can see the top scorer Ramneris Sarwan.
51:2556 and Ricardo Powell was giving him company on 6.
51:30But a good partnership there between Sarwan and Brian Lara.
51:33Before he left the field retired hurt.
51:36The Pakistan bowling.
51:37Well Shoaib Akhtar as long as he was bowling.
51:39It looked as if Pakistan might pick up wickets.
51:417 overs 2 for 18.
51:43But other than that no success for the bowlers.
51:46Until Shoaib Malik got a wicket later on in the innings.
51:50So a comprehensive win here for the West Indies.
51:52Pakistan bowled out for 131.
51:55West Indies 132 for 3.
51:58And they win the game by 7 wickets with plenty of overs remaining.
