    70.2 got him, finally! that was tossed up, on leg stump, and for what might be the first time all day, Latham's looked to work a full ball against the turn. Gets a leading edge and it loops back to Shillingford for the simplest of catches 174/2

    8.1 oh, yes. He's finally pitched it in the perfect spot, angling in from wide-ish on the crease and leaving him just that little bit, forcing him to poke and edge to the keeper. Once again, no footwork from Fulton. 9/1

    110.2 what a soft dismissal! That's tossed up on the stumps, and Taylor flicks it uppishly and straight to midwicket. The umpires want to check something, though. It's not a no-ball, that's for sure, and it isn't a bump ball either. It's bounced close to the bat, but it's gone straight off it and up in the air. Edwards took it at chest-height, with both his hands 277/4

    171.6 what happened there? That didn't turn and Neesham, poking from the crease, seemed to get an outside edge that Ramdin grabbed after a bit of a juggle. The umpire gives it not out. West Indies call for the review. It isn't a no-ball by any stretch of the imagination, and it's a thick edge... and he's been given out 480/6

    40.2 got him! Gayle will have to wait a while to get to 7000, and Southee finally has his man. Angled across Gayle, very close to off stump, and Gayle's actually pulling his bat out of the way but can't do it quickly enough, and it kisses his outside edge through to Watling 104/4

That isn't a no-ball, and that isn't a bump-ball either. Half-volley, onto the base of Bravo's bat, and loops straight back to Sodhi 61/3

Ramdin dived full-length across to try and cling on to the edge, but Gayle kept his eyes on the ball and stayed nice and low. Did Latham get some sort of instruction to go after the bowling during the drinks break? 143/7

Back foot comes across after the ball beats his outside edge, and the ball hits his back pad right in front of off. 14/3

    29.3 beauty! that was loopy, outside off, and it spins back through McCullum's gate as he reaches out to defend. Got a bit of inside-edge on it as well, I think. They're checking for no-ball, and there's absolutely no problem. His heel is well behind the crease. And no, there wasn't any inside edge, I think. Just a lot of turn 55/5

    3.3 Southee's got Gayle twice in two innings! Once again, it's the one that's angled across him. It was full, it was close to off, and he had to play, but you'd argue he should have been on the front foot. As it is, he pokes from the crease and gets a healthy edge to the keeper 11/2

Chanderpaul reviews... it's missed his pad and it's come back a long way and hit him on the thigh, but is height an issue? He's stretched out well forward as well. What does Hawkeye say? Umpire's call, just about clipping the leg bail... and he raises that finger again! 76/6
