7.2
Tom Curran to Gayle, out Caught by Plunkett!! Brilliant catch from Plunkett, absolutely magnificent. It needed something like this to get rid of Gayle today, the mood he was in. And really smart bowling from Curran too, keeping his nerve with a well disguised slower ball. Gayle hopped to the leg-side to make room, and almost took himself out of reach. He was off-balance as he miscued it off the toe-end. Still, the power in the swing took it over Plunkett at mid-off. Plunkett had to run back, and was facing the crowd when he dived forward, the ball dropped from over his shoulders and he grabbed it with both hands. Maiden ODI wicket for Curran. Gayle c Plunkett b Tom Curran 40(29) [4s-1 6s-5]
7.1
Tom Curran to Gayle, no run, change of pace, not a bad idea. Curran runs his fingers across the ball, and resticts Gayle to a defensive steer
6.6
J Ball to Kyle Hope, no run, good length ball just outside off, straightens off the deck and beats Hope on the edge
6.3
J Ball to Gayle, SIX, dear me. Ball is being absolutely destroyed by Gayle. A full delivery, Gayle's front leg is nowhere near the scene as he smokes it down over long-off
6.2
J Ball to Gayle, FOUR, top-edged, and it flies away over short third man. Almost went for six. This was well bowled though. Ball banged it in hard, and got it to climb on Gayle as he tried to flat-bat it down the ground. Didn't have any control over it
6.1
J Ball to Gayle, SIX, fourth six in a row for Gayle off Ball. Incredible hitting. Back of length delivery, Gayle makes room and slashes it away over cover-point. Way into the stands
5.6
Tom Curran to Kyle Hope, no run, driven to mid-off. Too full from Curran. Hope gets right to the pitch, but fails to beat the fielder
4.5
J Ball to Gayle, SIX, six more. He's pressed the trigger. The ball is full again, slightly wider, and so Gayle uses the angle and drills it over extra-cover. So easy
4.4
J Ball to Gayle, SIX, bang! There you go. Full in the slot, Gayle clears his front leg and launches it down the ground
4.3
J Ball to Gayle, 2 runs, makes some room again, and swats the short ball over mid-wicket. So he's decided enough's enough. Won't die wondering
4.2
J Ball to Gayle, no run, clears the front leg in trying to hoick the back of length ball, mistimes towards mid-on
4.1
J Ball to Gayle, no run, beaten! It's tough out there. Back of length, nips away sharply and opens Gayle up in defence. He's doing to keep the bat nice and tight to the body
3.6
Tom Curran to Kyle Hope, no run, pitches it up outside off, Hope squeezes it to backward point
3.2
Tom Curran to Kyle Hope, 1 run, back of a length around off, skewed off a thick inside edge to deep backward square
2.6
J Ball to Gayle, 1 run, pushes a full one wide of mid-off to get off the mark
2.5
J Ball to Gayle, no run, brilliant channel. It leaves Gayle from off-stump, the length is such that Gayle is neither forward or back, and eventually he's beaten on the outside edge
2.4
J Ball to Gayle, no run, on the shorter side, some width too, but Gayle fails to get any timing on the cut shot. Got a thick under-edge rather
2.3
J Ball to Gayle, no run, lazy attempt at a drive from Gayle. No feet at all as he wafts at a full ball angling away. Beaten by a good six inches
2.2
J Ball to Kyle Hope, 1 run, straightens from a back of length, Hope blocks to the left of mid-off for one
1.5
Tom Curran to Gayle, no run, urging Gayle to drive away from the body, he lets it go though
1.4
Tom Curran to Gayle, no run, full around off and middle, squeezed out to cover
1.3
Tom Curran to Gayle, no run, nips away sharply from a full length. Gayle deliberately plays well inside the line of it. It was well wide of off, so well left by the left-hander
1.2
Tom Curran to Gayle, no run, back of a length, nips in a touch to cramp Gayle up before hitting him on the thigh
1.1
Tom Curran to Kyle Hope, 1 run, back of a length around off, blocked in front of mid-on and mid-wicket. Quick single. As quick as Gayle can be
0.5
J Ball to Gayle, no run, cracking ball. Kicks up from a length and vaults away from the left-hander. Gayle is squared up completely, and the ball whizzes past the shoulder of his bat
0.4
J Ball to Gayle, no run, murmur of excitement from the crowd as Gayle deflects the ball to Buttler down leg, but it's only off the thigh pad
0.3
J Ball to Gayle, no run, pushes the ball across off stump with the angle, Gayle lets it go
0.2
