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

   0.3 King to Johnson, one run, played down to third man off an angled
        face

   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,

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)

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)

   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

   9.1 McLean to Goodwin, no run, jumps up, defends a lifting ball to mid
        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
   9.4 McLean to Goodwin, two runs, adroitly places this one wide of mid
        wicket off the back foot
   9.5 McLean to Goodwin, no run, reaches out for, and drives, an
        outswinger to mid off
   9.6 McLean to Goodwin, no run, shoulders arms

       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)

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

  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

MW Goodwin 17* (33b 2x4) ADR Campbell 0* (1b)

  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
        out an overpitched delivery
  13.4 McLean to Goodwin, no run, left alone outside off
  13.5 McLean to Goodwin, no run, straight at middle stump, defended to
        cover
  13.6 McLean to Goodwin, one run, played along the ground between the
        bowler and mid on

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

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

End of over 16 (9 runs) Zimbabwe 74/2 (RR: 4.62 RRR: 214/34 = 6.29)
NAM McLean 4-0-25-0 (1w 1nb) - Lumley End
ADR Campbell 9* (9b) MW Goodwin 26* (44b 3x4)

        a change of approach now from the West Indians as spin is
        introduced
  16.1 Nagamootoo to Campbell, one run, steps back, eases through square
        leg
  16.2 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, one run, powerfully cut away to the sweeper
        at deep point
  16.3 Nagamootoo to Campbell, one run, clipped through mid wicket
  16.4 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, one run, advances to meet the pitch of the
        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

End of over 17 (5 runs) Zimbabwe 79/2 (RR: 4.65 RRR: 209/33 = 6.33)
MV Nagamootoo 1-0-5-0 - Finchale End
ADR Campbell 12* (12b) MW Goodwin 28* (47b 3x4)

  17.1 McLean to Campbell, no run, fends awkwardly at one that steeples
        off a length
  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
  17.6 McLean to A Flower, one run, nibbled away behind point

End of over 18 (6 runs) Zimbabwe 85/3 (RR: 4.72 RRR: 203/32 = 6.34)
NAM McLean 5-0-31-0 (1w 2nb) - Lumley End
A Flower 2* (2b) MW Goodwin 31* (50b 3x4)

  18.1 Nagamootoo to A Flower, no run, watchfully defends a well flighted
        ball back to the bowler
  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

End of over 19 (1 run) Zimbabwe 86/3 (RR: 4.53 RRR: 202/31 = 6.52)
MV Nagamootoo 2-0-6-0 - Finchale End

  19.1 McLean to A Flower, no run, defended to point
  19.2 McLean to A Flower, no run, defended to cover
  19.3 McLean to A Flower, FOUR, delightfully cut away behind point into a
        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

MW Goodwin 31* (52b 3x4) A Flower 9* (12b 1x4)

  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

End of over 21 (6 runs) Zimbabwe 98/3 (RR: 4.67 RRR: 190/29 = 6.55)

MW Goodwin 33* (57b 3x4) A Flower 10* (13b 1x4)

  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
  22.4 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, no run, played to mid off
  22.5 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, one run, pushed into the covers

  23.1 Gayle to Goodwin, one run, paddled to short fine leg and they
        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

        side push
  31.2 King to GW Flower, no run, driven to cover, Powell fields well
  31.3 King to GW Flower, two runs, lays back, cuts to third man, and a

  31.4 King to GW Flower, no run, orthodox cover drive, orthodox stop at
        cover point
  31.5 King to GW Flower, one run, caressed to a deepish mid off
  31.6 King to Goodwin, legbye: one run, speared in at leg stump, it
        strikes boot and trickles toward cover to permit just enough time
        for another sharp single

  32.5 Adams to GW Flower, one run, much more leisurely single this time

  33.1 Dillon to GW Flower, no run, can't get much power into this cover
        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

        kicks the ball away toward his colleague at cover
  33.6 Dillon to Goodwin, one run, dropped into the off side with soft

  34.1 Adams to Goodwin, one run, comes forward about two paces then
        drives inside-out along the ground to long off
  34.2 Adams to GW Flower, wide: no run, spears a flat, fast one too far
        outside leg stump to avoid the umpire's relatively predictable
        response
  34.2 Adams to GW Flower, one run, driven to long off
  34.3 Adams to Goodwin, one run, eased just behind square leg
  34.4 Adams to GW Flower, one run, nudged toward mid wicket

  34.6 Adams to Goodwin, no run, has to reach for this one outside his leg
        stump and plays slightly uppishly and with no placement to mid
        wicket

  35.1 Dillon to GW Flower, one run, cuts to third man
  35.2 Dillon to Goodwin, one run, steered via a much lower route to the
        same position as the last one
  35.3 Dillon to GW Flower, one run, slower ball, punched to deep cover
  35.4 Dillon to Goodwin, no run, knocked away to point,Flower sets off
        and is then forced to beat a very hasty retreat
  35.5 Dillon to Goodwin, no run, excellent ball, cutting back in, Goodwin
        can do no better than jab it to cover and his partner finds
        himself having to turn and dash back smartly to the safety of the
        bowler's end once more
  35.6 Dillon to Goodwin, one run, missed glance

End of over 36 (4 runs) Zimbabwe 176/4 (RR: 4.89 RRR: 112/14 = 8.00)

MW Goodwin 73* (100b 5x4) GW Flower 31* (43b 1x4)

        left at cover
  36.2 Adams to GW Flower, one run, nudged into an off side gap
  36.3 Adams to Goodwin, one run, works this one - a better flighted ball
        - through point
  36.4 Adams to GW Flower, no run, horrible mess here as a leading edge
        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
  36.5 Adams to GW Flower, one run, pushed forward of point this time
  36.6 Adams to Goodwin, one run, lifted in controlled fashion toward long
        off

  37.1 McLean to Goodwin, one run, deflected toward third man
  37.2 McLean to GW Flower, one run, commanding cover drive, not placed
        wide enough of the sweeper to attract more than the single though
  37.3 McLean to Goodwin, no run, brilliantly saved by Powell at cover
  37.4 McLean to Goodwin, no run, far more conventional stop for Powell
        this time
  37.5 McLean to Goodwin, no run, swings lustily as he picks out a spot at
        deep mid wicket and is very lucky that his off stump is still in
        tact after playing well over the top of that one
  37.6 McLean to Goodwin, one run, guided to deep square leg

End of over 38 (3 runs) Zimbabwe 184/4 (RR: 4.84 RRR: 104/12 = 8.67)

        behind point

  38.6 Adams to GW Flower, two runs, chipped toward a straightish long on

End of over 39 (9 runs) Zimbabwe 193/4 (RR: 4.95 RRR: 95/11 = 8.64)
JC Adams 5-0-31-0 (1w) - Finchale End
MW Goodwin 82* (111b 5x4) GW Flower 39* (50b 1x4)

  39.1 McLean to Goodwin, no run, wafts in horrid style at one cutting
        away and keeping a fraction low outside the line of off stump
  39.2 McLean to Goodwin, one run, drives forcefully to long off without
        much movement of the feet
  39.3 McLean to GW Flower, one run, driven to long on
  39.4 McLean to Goodwin, one run, puts the head right over the top of
        this one and unleashes a flowing drive to long off
  39.5 McLean to GW Flower, no run, the bowler fields superbly as he picks
        it up off his toes in the follow through
  39.6 McLean to GW Flower, two runs, advances and pummels this one to the
        bowler's right this time

End of over 40 (5 runs) Zimbabwe 198/4 (RR: 4.95 RRR: 90/10 = 9.00)
NAM McLean 9-0-49-0 (1w 2nb) - Lumley End
MW Goodwin 84* (114b 5x4) GW Flower 42* (53b 1x4)

  40.1 Adams to Goodwin, legbye: one run, looks to work this through mid
        wicket, it takes the flap of the pad and balloons away to point
  40.2 Adams to GW Flower, two runs, drives in inside-out fashion to long
        off where Dillon overruns the oncoming missile badly
  40.3 Adams to GW Flower, one run, plays to point from a still position
        in the crease
  40.4 Adams to Goodwin, one run, steps inside the line of this one and
        eases through square leg
  40.5 Adams to GW Flower, legbye: one run, similar result to the first
        delivery of the over: off pad, it runs toward point against the
        backdrop of half-hearted lbw appeals
  40.6 Adams to Goodwin, one run, played to backward square leg

End of over 41 (7 runs) Zimbabwe 205/4 (RR: 5.00 RRR: 83/9 = 9.22)

  41.1 McLean to Goodwin, FOUR, 4
  41.2 McLean to Goodwin, one run, nibbled away to third man
  41.3 McLean to GW Flower, FOUR, cracking shot as he comes a pace down
        the track and lifts a delivery pitching well outside off high and
        handsomely over mid wicket
  41.4 McLean to GW Flower, one run, comes forward again but this time
        drives very straight in order to reach his fifty
  41.5 McLean to Goodwin, no run, better ball, a yorker, dug out to point
        amid loud calls of 'NO'
  41.6 McLean to Goodwin, FOUR, gloriously square driven forward of point
        to end a mightily expensive over

End of over 42 (14 runs) Zimbabwe 219/4 (RR: 5.21 RRR: 69/8 = 8.62)
NAM McLean 10-0-63-0 (1w 2nb) - Lumley End
GW Flower 50* (58b 2x4) MW Goodwin 95* (121b 7x4)

  42.1 Adams to GW Flower, SIX, hoists this one contemptuously over mid
        on, Powell is there and takes the catch: one slight problem though
        - he is well behind the rope when he takes it
  42.2 Adams to GW Flower, one run, pushed sedately to cover
  42.3 Adams to Goodwin, one run, flicked to short fine leg
  42.4 Adams to GW Flower, one run, turns this into a full toss before

        field
  42.6 Adams to Goodwin, no run, played straight to King at cover, no
        chance of a run whatsoever but nine have come from the over
        already

JC Adams 7-0-45-0 (1w) - Finchale End
GW Flower 58* (61b 2x4 1x6) MW Goodwin 96* (124b 7x4)

       Adams shuffling the attack again in a suddenly urgent search for a
        breakthrough
  43.1 King to GW Flower, legbye: one run, scrambling single as this leg
        side yorker runs off pad to Jacobs - the throw would have produced
        a run out if contact with the stumps had been made but just for
        the moment everything is running (literally and metaphorically)
        for Zimbabwe
  43.2 King to Goodwin, one run, neat leg glance
  43.3 King to GW Flower, one run, hits a full toss to long off
  43.4 King to Goodwin, one run, played into the covers where Adams
        conceives a slight fumble
  43.5 King to GW Flower, no run, played off inside edge into pad and
        Jacobs is called into the action away to his right this time
  43.6 King to GW Flower, (noball) no run, a leg side yorker which beats
        both driving bat and leg stump
  43.6 King to GW Flower, legbye: one run, another leg side yorker, it
        thuds into pad and fizzes off to cover

End of over 44 (6 runs) Zimbabwe 234/4 (RR: 5.32 RRR: 54/6 = 9.00)
RD King 9-1-36-0 (4w 2nb) - Lumley End
GW Flower 59* (66b 2x4 1x6) MW Goodwin 98* (126b 7x4)

       Nagamootoo back now, enough bowling changes to make everyone dizzy
  44.1 Nagamootoo to GW Flower, legbye: one run, tries to launch into an
        almighty sweep, misses
  44.2 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, one run, comes forward a few paces then
        pushes to cover
  44.3 Nagamootoo to GW Flower, two runs, waits on a short one and then
        plays a nicely controlled pull to deep mid wicket
  44.4 Nagamootoo to GW Flower, one run, lifts this one to deep backward
        square from the line of leg stump
  44.5 Nagamootoo to Goodwin, one run, brings up the hundred - to deserved
        applause - from a back cut
  44.6 Nagamootoo to GW Flower, one run, tucked to short fine leg

End of over 45 (7 runs) Zimbabwe 241/4 (RR: 5.36 RRR: 47/5 = 9.40)
MV Nagamootoo 8-0-38-0 (1w) - Finchale End
GW Flower 63* (70b 2x4 1x6) MW Goodwin 100* (128b 7x4)

       did someone say "bowling change"?  Dillon is back now
  45.1 Dillon to GW Flower, FOUR, wonderful shot, picks up a low full toss
        on leg stump and clouts it high and hard over mid wicket
  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
