down leg side
0.1 King to Johnson, no run, cut firmly to point

0.2 King to Johnson, no run, defends to mid wicket off the back foot
0.3 King to Johnson, one run, played down to third man off an angled
face
0.4 King to Whittall, no run, thinks about playing then withdraws the

0.5 King to Whittall, two runs, well controlled push behind point and
into wide open space
0.6 King to Whittall, no run, tucked up by one that cuts back at him,
pushes off the inner portion of the bat into pad and it slowly
fizzes away
End of over 1 (7 runs) Zimbabwe 7/0 (RR: 7.00 RRR: 281/49 = 5.73)
RD King 1-0-6-0 (1w 1nb) - Finchale End
NC Johnson 1* (4b) GJ Whittall 2* (3b)
Dillon to partner King with the new cherry
1.1 Dillon to Johnson, no run, dropped meekly into the off side,
Johnson thinks briefly about a single, Whittall points out the
folly of such an opinion
1.2 Dillon to Johnson, no run, smartly fielded by McLean at mid on
1.3 Dillon to Johnson, one run, played into a gap between point and
cover
1.4 Dillon to Whittall, (noball) two runs, Dillon over steps, the
batsman steps back and works it off his hip through the on side
for a smartly stepped out two
1.4 Dillon to Whittall, one run, neat glance to fine leg
1.5 Dillon to Johnson, no run, defensively played to mid on
1.6 Dillon to Johnson, one run, deflected away to third man again,
encouraging start from Zimbabwe
End of over 2 (6 runs) Zimbabwe 13/0 (RR: 6.50 RRR: 275/48 = 5.73)

NC Johnson 3* (9b) GJ Whittall 5* (5b)
2.1 King to Johnson, no run, covers up and defends to mid off
2.2 King to Johnson, one run, cut very firmly to backward point but not
wide enough of the fieldsman in the region to earn any more than a
single
2.3 King to Whittall, no run, pushed away to cover
2.4 King to Whittall, no run, plays much the same shot, this time Adams
tidies up from cover point
2.5 King to Whittall, one run, plays well away from the body at an
outswinger and it flies away - but harmlessly - in the general
direction of third man
2.6 King to Johnson, no run, comes half a pace forward an defends to
mid off
End of over 3 (2 runs) Zimbabwe 15/0 (RR: 5.00 RRR: 273/47 = 5.81)

GJ Whittall 6* (8b) NC Johnson 4* (12b)
3.1 Dillon to Whittall, no run
3.2 Dillon to Whittall, no run, metaphorically cuts him in half with a
glorious cutting ball that beats his defences all ends up
3.3 Dillon to Whittall, one run, completely squared up is Whittall ....
and very lucky that the ball flies in the direction of third man
rather than second slip or point
3.4 Dillon to Johnson, wide: no run, completely misdirected down leg
side, Dillon emits a groan of anguish
3.4 Dillon to Johnson, no run, fine shot off the back foot into the
covers, equally well fielded by Adams
3.5 Dillon to Johnson, wide: no run, not as far down leg side as the
delivery two earlier but still far enough to encourage the umpire
to extend the arms
3.5 Dillon to Johnson, no run, plays with soft hands at a slower ball
outside off but is well deceived by it, it squeezes off bat and
pad in the direction of first slip but well short
3.6 Dillon to Johnson, OUT: revenge is attained by Dillon as he gains a
thick inside edge this time as Johnson pushes out at one not far
outside the line of off ... regulation catch for Jacobs
Zimbabwe 18/1, Partnership of 18
NC Johnson c Jacobs b Dillon 4 (15b 0x4 0x6)
End of over 4 (3 runs) Zimbabwe 18/1 (RR: 4.50 RRR: 270/46 = 5.87)
M Dillon 2-0-9-1 (2w 1nb) - Lumley End
GJ Whittall 7* (11b)
4.1 King to Whittall, no run, fishes for one cutting away from him
marginally and is well beaten
4.2 King to Whittall, wide: no run, slashes at a wide outswinger, plays
underneath it, and then is made to feel happier by the sight of
yet another wide being signalled
4.2 King to Whittall, no run, chops away again and misses again
4.3 King to Whittall, no run, uncomfortably fends into the gully one
that spits off a length at him
4.4 King to Whittall, two runs, plays an expansive drive at an
outswinger, it beats Powell (who had lost sight of it) at point
4.5 King to Whittall, no run, very fine save by Campbell working to his
left from a widish mid on
4.6 King to Whittall, no run, driven with little force to mid off
End of over 5 (3 runs) Zimbabwe 21/1 (RR: 4.20 RRR: 267/45 = 5.93)
RD King 3-0-12-0 (3w 1nb) - Finchale End
MW Goodwin 0* (0b) GJ Whittall 9* (17b)
5.1 Dillon to Goodwin, no run, dropped away into the off side
5.2 Dillon to Goodwin, no run, played back up the on side of the pitch:
encouraged by his early scalp, Dillon is probing away now just
short of a driveable length
5.3 Dillon to Goodwin, no run, tucked off the hip to square leg,
Goodwin intent on playing himself in
5.4 Dillon to Goodwin, no run, for as hastily as he tried to withdraw
the bat inside the line after it had passed him, Goodwin is well
beaten by a lovely leg cutter
5.5 Dillon to Goodwin, no run, watchfully defended to mid on
5.6 Dillon to Goodwin, one run, nudged just behind point from the back
foot
End of over 6 (1 run) Zimbabwe 22/1 (RR: 3.67 RRR: 266/44 = 6.05)
M Dillon 3-0-10-1 (2w 1nb) - Lumley End
MW Goodwin 1* (6b) GJ Whittall 9* (17b)
6.1 King to Goodwin, no run, genuinely does draw the bat inside the
line of this one cutting away
6.2 King to Goodwin, no run, spars at one now that keeps a little low
and holds its line: it's proving a tough early battle for the
Zimbabwean number three to get his eye in against some excellent
bowling
6.3 King to Goodwin, no run, stands tall, defends to point
6.4 King to Goodwin, no run, fuller ball, angled in at leg stump,
defended to mid on
6.5 King to Goodwin, no run, gropes and misses yet another ball
fractionally short of a length and seaming away from the stumps
6.6 King to Goodwin, no run, this one cuts back and him and rises, he
jumps up and finds the ball coming off the inner portion of the
bat into his midriff and then dribbling away into the off side
End of over 7 (maiden) Zimbabwe 22/1 (RR: 3.14 RRR: 266/43 = 6.19)
RD King 4-1-12-0 (3w 1nb) - Finchale End
GJ Whittall 9* (17b) MW Goodwin 1* (12b)
7.1 Dillon to Whittall, no run, defended to cover
7.2 Dillon to Whittall, no run, beautiful bowling from Dillon, whose
eyes light up as he sees watches another ball marginally beat the
outside edge
7.3 Dillon to Whittall, three runs, fails to completely a middle a pull
but gets enough of a piece of a very short delivery to thump it
into the vacant deep mid wicket area
7.4 Dillon to Goodwin, one run, nicely controlled push into a gap that
exists between mid wicket and mid on
7.5 Dillon to Whittall, no run, fans yet again at one moving away from
him, once more no contact is made
7.6 Dillon to Whittall, three runs, over pitched inswinger, nicely
chipped away over the head of the man at mid wicket to a position
about twenty metres short of the rope
End of over 8 (7 runs) Zimbabwe 29/1 (RR: 3.62 RRR: 259/42 = 6.17)
M Dillon 4-0-17-1 (2w 1nb) - Lumley End
GJ Whittall 15* (22b) MW Goodwin 2* (13b)
8.1 King to Whittall, one run, clamps down on one that cuts in at him,
it dribbles away slowly enough in the direction of a point for a
leisurely single to be run
8.2 King to Goodwin, no run, another ball which beats Goodwin's outside
edge
8.3 King to Goodwin, no run, tries a big off drive, the ball trickles
off a thick inside and bottom edge out in the direction of mid
wicket
8.4 King to Goodwin, FOUR, and now just to compound the bowler's
frustration at continually beating him, Goodwin plays the
quintessential French cut: awful shot, wonderful result for the
batting team
8.5 King to Goodwin, no run, wisely leaves one that holds its line
outside off stump alone
8.6 King to Goodwin, one run, that's a much better shot, watchfully
pushes a slightly wider ball to the left of mid off
End of over 9 (6 runs) Zimbabwe 35/1 (RR: 3.89 RRR: 253/41 = 6.17)
RD King 5-1-18-0 (3w 1nb) - Finchale End

on
9.2 McLean to Goodwin, wide: no run, plays a convulsive hook
unsuccessfully at a short wide ball down leg side
9.2 McLean to Goodwin, no run, cuts and misses one which moves away
sharply toward the lone slip
9.3 McLean to Goodwin, two runs, drags another short ball down and it
runs behind square leg and into a big gap in the field

wicket off the back foot
9.5 McLean to Goodwin, no run, reaches out for, and drives, an
outswinger to mid off

End of over 10 (5 runs) Zimbabwe 40/1 (RR: 4.00 RRR: 248/40 = 6.20)

All feedback is welcomed throughout the day
10.1 King to Whittall, wide: no run, full and wide down leg side, not a
difficult decision for the umpire
10.1 King to Whittall, one run, gets nicely over a short ball outside
off stump and cuts it powerfully to deep backward point
10.2 King to Goodwin, no run, completely beaten as he plays defensively
at the perfect leg cutter
10.3 King to Goodwin, no run, plays an airy cover drive at this one
without much movement of the feet, signs of frustration from
Goodwin now
10.4 King to Goodwin, one run, fine call from Whittall as his partner's
defensive push ends in the sight of the ball just trickling away
behind the wicket on the off side
10.5 King to Whittall, FOUR, glorious shot this one, lifts a full ball
on leg stump over mid wicket imperiously
10.6 King to Whittall, no run, cramped up by one that cuts back at him,
he defends off his chest toward slip
End of over 11 (7 runs) Zimbabwe 47/1 (RR: 4.27 RRR: 241/39 = 6.18)
RD King 6-1-25-0 (4w 1nb) - Finchale End
MW Goodwin 12* (27b 1x4) GJ Whittall 21* (26b 1x4)
11.1 McLean to Goodwin, FOUR, magnificent pull shot, it sat up and asked
for the treatment and it was more than given such treatment
11.2 McLean to Goodwin, no run, the bowler wins this time, an off drive
is made to look silly as ball only just seams past outside edge
again
11.3 McLean to Goodwin, no run, guided to cover off the front foot
11.4 McLean to Goodwin, one run, steps back and defends off the line of
off stump through a vacant cover point area
11.5 McLean to Whittall, no run, ugly shot: he chops down at one that
keeps low outside the line of off
11.6 McLean to Whittall, two runs, skillfully controlled back cut
End of over 12 (7 runs) Zimbabwe 54/1 (RR: 4.50 RRR: 234/38 = 6.16)

12.1 Dillon to Goodwin, no run
12.2 Dillon to Goodwin, legbye: one run
12.3 Dillon to Whittall, no run, totally beaten again as this one
somehow finds a way between the front pad and a defensive bat
12.4 Dillon to Whittall, no run, produces a carbon copy
superb bowling is this
12.5 Dillon to Whittall, OUT: a wholly deserved second wicket for Dillon
comes as Whittall drives at a wider one and succeeds only in
hitting a regulation catch the man at gully's way

13.1 McLean to Goodwin, (noball) one run, stoops down low and sends the
ball away behind point without much force
13.1 McLean to Campbell, no run, defends off bat and pad into the off
side
13.2 McLean to Campbell, no run, uppishly driven to cover
13.3 McLean to Campbell, one run, angled away to third man as he pushes

cover

NAM McLean 3-0-16-0 (1w 1nb) - Lumley End
MW Goodwin 19* (37b 2x4) ADR Campbell 1* (4b)
14.1 Dillon to Goodwin, no run, worked off the line of middle and leg
stumps to mid on
14.2 Dillon to Goodwin, no run, cuts at this but, given how sharply it
takes off, probably very little surprise should be expressed in
the fact that he played well underneath it
14.3 Dillon to Goodwin, FOUR, steps back and smears this one all along
the ground through mid wicket with an angry-looking pull shot
14.4 Dillon to Goodwin, one run, flourishing off drive, he doesn't quite
time it perfectly though and Campbell's dive from mid off
successfully puts paid to any thoughts that more than one run
might be taken
14.5 Dillon to Campbell, one run, drops it into the leg side and they
take off with the stroke
14.6 Dillon to Goodwin, no run, rocks back and steers a short offering
into the gully on the first bounce

M Dillon 6-1-23-2 (2w 1nb) - Finchale End
ADR Campbell 2* (5b) MW Goodwin 24* (42b 3x4)
15.1 McLean to Campbell, one run, having taken a run in similar fashion
from the last ball he faced, Campbell is happy to do no more than
drop this one only a few metres away and set off again
15.2 McLean to Goodwin, one run, glided to third man
15.3 McLean to Campbell, five runs, played into the gully and what was
the riskiest of singles initially suddenly turns into five as
Powell's shot at the stumps misses and eludes would-be backers up
15.4 McLean to Goodwin, one run, mistimed cover drive which spurts into
an off side gap
15.5 McLean to Campbell, no run, plays around his front pad as he guides
a yorker out to mid wicket
15.6 McLean to Campbell, one run, leans forward and pushes this one more
safely away to Powell's left

ball and drives sweetly through mid off
16.5 Nagamootoo to Campbell, one run, neatly tucked off the line of leg
stump to square leg
16.6 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, no run, this one doesn't quite carry to the
bowler as the batsman comes forward and pushes the ball uppishly
back down the pitch

17.2 McLean to Campbell, no run
Zimbabwe 79/3, Partnership of 24
ADR Campbell run out (Nagamootoo) 12 (14b 0x4 0x6)
a horrible mix-up ensues as Campbell pushes this one away to the
man at cover, sets off and runs more than halfway down the track
before realising his partner has barely moved
even Nagamootoo's slight fumble and wide throw to Jacobs causes no
problem for his team
17.3 McLean to A Flower, one run, deflected away to third man
17.4 McLean to Goodwin, no run, punches a yorker back to the bowler
17.5 McLean to Goodwin, (noball) two runs, hoists this one very very
high over mid on, it pitches and comes essentially to a stop in
the deep about twenty metres short of the boundary
17.5 McLean to Goodwin, one run, driven out to deep cover

18.2 Nagamootoo to A Flower, no run, more confusion and they only just
get back in time after Flower turns the ball just behind square
but not firmly enough for a run
18.3 Nagamootoo to A Flower, no run, guided to backward point
18.4 Nagamootoo to A Flower, one run, paddled to square leg
18.5 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, no run, chopped to point
18.6 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, no run, hopelessly beaten by one that spins
away: it takes an outside edge but Jacobs' fumble means that
neither the catch nor the run out of Goodwin (who had moved out of
his crease) ensues

gap with which Flower had made himself familiar in surveying the
field closely at the start of the over
19.4 McLean to A Flower, two runs, dragged off a thick inside edge to
the right of mid wicket, Lara pursues energetically
19.5 McLean to A Flower, no run, driven without much timing to cover
19.6 McLean to A Flower, no run, fails to move the feet as he launches
into an off drive, the almost inevitable result is that Jacobs is
the only person to make contact with the ball

20.1 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, legbye: two runs, sweeps in ugly, frustrated
style: a loud lbw appeal follows from bowler and 'keeper as the
ball dribbles away toward third man: almost certainly struck
outside off was Goodwin
20.2 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, no run, defended to point
20.3 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, one run, comes forward, drives to long off
20.4 Nagamootoo to A Flower, wide: no run, misses with a sweep, Zimbabwe
doesn't miss out on either a run or another delivery though
20.4 Nagamootoo to A Flower, one run, driven to long off
20.5 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, no run, plays back to the bowler
20.6 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, one run, accepts the invitation that this
flighted ball provides him to move out of his crease and he then
plays to long off just for some extreme variation

21.1 McLean to Goodwin, two runs, cuts at one that looked too close to
the body for such a shot: there's no trouble though as he finds
his mark at deep backward point
21.2 McLean to Goodwin, legbye: one run, tries to glance, it takes hip
and runs toward backward square leg instead
21.3 McLean to A Flower, one run, steered to point and beats Powell's
dead-eye-Ricardo throw to the bowler's end
21.4 McLean to Goodwin, one run, deflected away behind point yet again
21.5 McLean to A Flower, no run, imploring lbw appeal from McLean as
Flower steps marginally forward and defends off pad then bat:
might have been taken just a little high on the pad but it was
well worth the yell
21.6 McLean to A Flower, no run, played back to the bowler

22.1 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, one run, swivels and pulls a short ball to
deep mid wicket
22.2 Nagamootoo to A Flower, no run, a commentator other than yours
truly might be tempted to conclude that it all happened there
Zimbabwe 104/4, Partnership of 25
A Flower run out (Gayle) 11 (17b 1x4 0x6)
the delivery was a full toss on leg stump, Flower's sweep missed
the ball, he was struck on pad, a beseeching lbw appeal followed,
and then, as the throw came back from short fine leg and found the
stumps, the bat was well short of its ground
22.3 Nagamootoo to GW Flower, one run, driven to long on

complete a scampering single, Zimbabwe's running becoming almost
suicidal now
23.2 Gayle to GW Flower, no run, pushed away to point
23.3 Gayle to GW Flower, one run, tossed up invitingly, Flower's
response is a firm on drive
23.4 Gayle to Goodwin, no run, driven back to the bowler
23.5 Gayle to Goodwin, one run, it's the on drive which is unfurled
again
23.6 Gayle to GW Flower, legbye: one run, played off pad and bat into
the covers, another risky single follows

cover point

drive ... and plays straight to cover
33.2 Dillon to GW Flower, two runs, uses the height and extra width in
this one to parry it cleverly over the man stationed at point
33.3 Dillon to GW Flower, one run, stands up on his toes and fends a
lifter away to point slowly enough for another one to be added to
the total
33.4 Dillon to Goodwin, no run, stunted on drive, it is fielded at mid
wicket
33.5 Dillon to Goodwin, wide: no run, steps inside the line of one down
leg side as he tries to glance, that only makes the job for the

- through point

spurts off to Hinds at backward point, his awfully errant throw is
too far to Jacobs' right to sew up what should have been the run
out of Flower

this time

for Zimbabwe

45.2 Dillon to GW Flower, one run, pushes a slower ball through the
covers
45.3 Dillon to Goodwin, one run, lifts this to long off, Campbell fields
on the first bounce
45.4 Dillon to GW Flower, no run, whips a yorker along the ground to mid
wicket
45.5 Dillon to GW Flower, no run, beats the advancing batsman with a
lovely inswinging yorker but the frenzied lbw appeal is
unsuccessful, perhaps on the grounds that the batsman was struck
just outside the line of off
45.6 Dillon to GW Flower, legbye: one run, tries a leg glance, it merely
takes pad and runs slowly to square leg
End of over 46 (7 runs) Zimbabwe 248/4 (RR: 5.39 RRR: 40/4 = 10.00)
M Dillon 9-1-38-2 (3w 1nb) - Lumley End
GW Flower 68* (75b 3x4 1x6) MW Goodwin 101* (129b 7x4)
Forty needed from twenty-four deliveries now
46.1 Nagamootoo to GW Flower, two runs, driven just over the bowler's
reach on its way to long off
46.2 Nagamootoo to GW Flower, FOUR, superb stand and deliver shot over
mid on, it hops over the rope on the first bounce
46.3 Nagamootoo to GW Flower, one run, played forward of point from the
crease
46.4 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, one run, flicked through mid wicket
46.5 Nagamootoo to GW Flower, one run, flatter faster ball as Nagamootoo
sees the batsman come at him, the end result is a push through the
covers
46.6 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, two runs, a scampering second is taken from
a drive to widish long off
End of over 47 (11 runs) Zimbabwe 259/4 (RR: 5.51 RRR: 29/3 = 9.67)
MV Nagamootoo 9-0-49-0 (1w) - Finchale End
GW Flower 76* (79b 4x4 1x6) MW Goodwin 104* (131b 7x4)
47.1 Dillon to GW Flower, FOUR, slow full toss and Dillon watches in
horror as the ball is lifted arrogantly over his head
47.2 Dillon to GW Flower, legbye: one run, tries to heave this over mid
wicket, no contact is made with bat but pad offers a useful second
line of attack
47.3 Dillon to Goodwin, two runs, leg side yorker, nicely hoisted over
mid wicket
47.4 Dillon to Goodwin, no run, misdirected ball down leg side, he is
very fortunate that the ball takes nothing more than a slice of
Goodwin's pad on the way to Jacobs as he deserved far more
punishment there
47.5 Dillon to Goodwin, wide: no run, commits the same sin again and
good fortune doesn't strike twice for Mervyn
47.5 Dillon to Goodwin, wide: no run, dear oh dear, another wide ball
down leg side, not exactly the way to be bowling at the death
47.5 Dillon to Goodwin, one run, straighter ball but he errs for length
this time and the resultant full toss is powered through cover
47.6 Dillon to GW Flower, FOUR, and just to rub salt in the wound,
Flower plays a shot reminiscent of Kanhai or Weekes, he comes down
on one knee and hits the most glorious of cover drives
End of over 48 (14 runs) Zimbabwe 273/4 (RR: 5.69 RRR: 15/2 = 7.50)
M Dillon 10-1-51-2 (5w 1nb) - Lumley End
MW Goodwin 107* (134b 7x4) GW Flower 84* (82b 6x4 1x6)
Fifteen needed off twelve now - and Gayle into the attack - as the
pendulum tilts dramatically in Zimbabwe's favour
48.1 Gayle to Goodwin, three runs, swivels and pulls this away off the
line of middle stump, Lara does brilliantly in the deep both to
avoid the converging Dillon and kick the ball away from the rope
48.2 Gayle to GW Flower, one run, clipped behind square leg
48.3 Gayle to Goodwin, one run, driven through mid on
48.4 Gayle to GW Flower, no run, Gayle shows enough coverage to follow
the batsman and flight this, it is played back to him as a result
48.5 Gayle to GW Flower, two runs, unconvincing stroke but a productive
one as a full toss is lifted into wide open space at deep mid
wicket
48.6 Gayle to GW Flower, FOUR, having been given practice with the
previous shot, he makes a real mess of this full toss with a
magnificent swipe over mid wicket
End of over 49 (11 runs) Zimbabwe 284/4 (RR: 5.80 RRR: 4/1 = 4.00)
CH Gayle 4-0-27-0 - Finchale End
MW Goodwin 111* (136b 7x4) GW Flower 91* (86b 7x4 1x6)
King to bowl the last over but one senses that his teammates
haven't given him quite enough runs with which to play here
Wonderful batting from this pair: now it becomes a question of
whether they can simply apply the finishing touches
49.1 King to Goodwin, (noball) one run, cardinal sin from the fast
bowler, which is compounded as the drive goes through a vacant mid
off
49.1 King to GW Flower, FOUR, backs away and completes the job in the
most fitting and celebratory of styles as he blasts a shot over
mid off
What a win by Zimbabwe: they never really looked on top at any
stage of the day until the last few overs of Goodwin and Flower's
sensational partnership
