74.4 -

72.3 -
Roach to S Marsh, FOUR, he's done it, he's done it. Marsh has a hundred. And look at him go. Pure ecstasy. And honestly, Roach dished it on a platter. Short of length delivery without much purpose. Only rises as high as the midriff and the line was too straight. Marsh swivels and pulls it away through the vacant square leg region. Bisects the deep fielders and proceeds to remove his helmet. Stylish. Elegant. Shaun Marsh
70.4 -
Jerome Taylor to S Marsh, FOUR, hohoho! That's a rasping extra-cover drive. Wasn't all that bad a delivery. Just a fraction full and outside off. Marsh doesn't get a massive stride forward.

45.0 -
Roach to S Marsh, FOUR, this is a feast. Have your share. It's just ridiculous stuff. You don't bowl full tosses in Test cricket. You just don't.

Beat him as well

43.3 -
Jerome Taylor to Voges, FOUR, Voges is motoring along. Going at better than a run-a-ball. This namby pamby bowling from the West Indies is surely helping. Again too full. And drifting on middle and leg. Voges leans forward and just turns his wrists enough on the ball to drive it wide of mid-on. Generated enough power
42.5 -

9.4 -

Catches him in a warm embrace and pats him on the helmet. Played Sir!
43.1 -
Jerome Taylor to S Marsh, 3 runs, 100-run partnership is brought up. A hip-high full bunger outside off, Marsh is startled slightly, then gains his wits and simply steers it square of the wicket. Sweeper cover sprints across and puts in the dive close to the ropes to flick it back in and save a run
16.4 -
S Gabriel to Warner, 1 run, fifty for Warner, but Smith had to dive to make his end, might have been short had there been a direct hit at the striker's end.

The fielder has a shy at the stumps and misses, Smith was well short had he hit
