West Indies - 315/1 from 63 overs

After being 216/1 from 50 overs, West Indies rocketed to 315/1 from 63 overs, scoring 99 runs in 13 overs. Lara gave his home crowd something to cheer about. He is continuing his fine form on 115*. Also, Gayle, disappointed at not getting a century in the last match is now on 154*. Hinds went for 24 when the score was 75.
Despite the ugly performance in their last innings (99 all out from 87.3 overs), the West Indies are looking favourites so far with Sarwan (112 in the last match) and Chanderpaul (94 in the last match) to come. England have there poor fielding efforts to blame for this. And also the bowlers never kept it tight. There are 15 overs left in Day 1. Can West Indies get another 99 runs from 13 overs :P . If they do, they will be in a good position if they bat till 100 overs.

Highlights:
-Gayle 50 off 70 balls, 100 off 140 balls
-Lara 50 off 74 balls, 100 off 129 balls

Drops:
Gayle - Dropped on 68 then on 109, is now 154*
Hinds - Dropped on 16, out for 28
Lara - Dropped on 6, is now 115*
