Two words - Chris Gayle
| 7.6 | Plunkett to Gayle, SIX, and again! Gayle plants his feet, swings through the line and absolutely creams Plunkett over long-on for a quite enormous six into the Walcott stand, bouncing into the concrete steps and bouncing further into the stand |
| 7.5 | Plunkett to Gayle, SIX, and this has gone! Gayle's blowing in like a storm here, just lofting this with tremendous power over long-off |
| 50 from 47 balls | |
| 7.4 | Plunkett to Gayle, FOUR, how on earth has he done that? Gayle gave himself room outside leg; Plunkett followed him, and it's shorter, and Gayle deliberately plays it over the slips down for four. Extraordinary shot |
| 7.3 | Plunkett to Gayle, FOUR, good grief, that is absolutely hammered by Gayle. It was a terrible delivery from Plunkett - short and wide - and Gayle just smacked it through extra cover |
8th over: West Indies 62-0 Gayle is looking pretty majestic (45 off 25 balls), and clatters Plunkett for 22 in that over. First he slaps four through extra-cover. Then he plays an astoninshing shot: he made room outside leg stump so Plunkett followed him with a short one, and Gayle just checked it over the slips for four. And he rounds off the over with successive sixes, both smashed imperiously down the ground. "Chris Gayle, welcome back," says Tony Cozier. Awesome.
