15.1 Andre Russell to Virat Kohli, Hit hard but straight to the fielder, who fires a throw back in immediately. The batsmen try to scrable through for a single, but they're caught short! Brilliant fielding, and a wicket for the fielding side!

15.2 Andre Russell to Suresh Raina, EDGED AND TAKE...DROPPED! The keeper drops it! A simple chance and he fluffs it! Single. (1)
15.3 Andre Russell to Robin Uthappa, Very well bowled. (0)
15.4 Andre Russell to Robin Uthappa, The batsman has a wild slog, and gets enough to send the ball to the fence for four! Not the best looking shot, but it certainly was effective. (4)
15.5 Andre Russell to Robin Uthappa, He's hit that high and hard...the fielder is coming underneath it...will he catch it? NOOOO! He spills the chance! And to add insult to injury, the ball rolls away for four runs. The bowler is fuming! (4)
15.6 Andre Russell to Robin Uthappa, Full delivery outside off-stump, the batsman clears his left leg and swings, and top edges it high into the air. It's an easy catch in the end, and hopefully the batsman has learnt why you shouldn't slog across the line!

17.1 Darren Sammy to Yuvraj Singh, One more to the total. (1)
17.2 Darren Sammy to Suresh Raina, Full and on the toes, the batsman just flicks it past the now-vacant short fine leg region for four runs! The captain is fuming, and it's right after he took the fielder out of there! (4)

19.2 Jerome Taylor to Yuvraj Singh, He comes on the front foot to drive it, and is beaten for bounce! But instead of checking his shot, he follows through with it and sends it sailing into the pavillion! 6 runs, excellent batting! (6)
