Joe Denly 29(70)
64.3
Roston Chase to Denly, out Caught by Holder!! That is a really loose dismissal. For all the class that this guy has, how good he looks at the crease, finds ways to get out. This was a harmless flighted delivery down the leg-side, never ever meant for a wicket, but such is Denly's luck that he leading-edges this flick straight into the bucket hands of the West Indies captain.
