The full length delivery was smacked hard at cover-point where Kitchen plucks out a stunning catch. Moves to his right, puts in a dive and takes it nicely. Both the openers are back in the hut and Rance will be on a hat-trick now. Can he get it? Walton c Kitchen b Rance 7(9) [4s-1]
2.4
Rance to Gayle, out Caught by Glenn Phillips!! What an excellent catch by Phillips. An absolute b-e-a-u-t-y! Gayle goes after a short one and gets a top edge.
