1.50pm. Well, that was quick. Five wickets tumbled for only 14 runs, after Ashwin and Saha reached their tons. The quicks made light work of India's lower order with the short stuff. Over to WI's batsmen.
Harish: "Only 4 players crossing double digits...5th highest being extras. Not a good sign. Luckily India had Ashwin and Saha to resurrect the innings."

Cummins to I Sharma, OUT, Ishant done in by the short ball as well. This carries to short leg. Johnson takes it and races off the field to get ready to bat. Dug in short and rises at Ishant. He leaps and fends it to the fielder. Johnson dives to his right and completes another fine catch. Cummins falls on the floor and celebrates. He had to wait 281 balls for his first wicket. He now has three in ten balls and India have been dismissed for 353

Leon Johnson, the man under the helmet, hangs on to the chance. He stayed low and grabbed it at knee-height. Two wickets in two overs. Where did it come from?
