Raj83: "Actually Charles has done a sacrifice to give Samuels a chance to strike. He is more capable of chasing this target than Charles."

 
1.6
Topley to Gayle, no run, back of a length, outside off, pushed square into the off side
1.5
Topley to Gayle, no run, drags his length back a touch, a slower delivery at 105kph/65kph, Gayle chops it into the ground off a bottom edge
 

Long-off goes back

 
1.4
Topley to Gayle, SIX, that's an even better connection, he's up and running...Topley pitches it full again and gets deposited back over his head with a clunking lofted thump
1.3
Topley to Gayle, FOUR, and he's away now, launches an off drive as Topley pitches the ball fuller and sends it in the air, wide and high of mid-off
 

Jay: "So, as I predicted (around 11.1 overs) Eng got to 180 and now if no dew, WI will struggle but if there is dew around 10th over and WI has 7-8 wkts on hands, this will go down the wire. "

 
1.2
Topley to Gayle, no run, closer to off stump, Gayle hanging back in the crease, defends with an open face to point
 

SALMAN MAZHAR: "Willey how you do that? First sign of real swing in this WC"

 
1.1
Topley to Gayle, no run, full outside off, Gayle leaves it alone...he often gives himself a few sighters, because he knows he can catch up
 

Reece Topley, another left-armer, will share the new ball
