How things have come full circle. While South Africa, with two wins and a good net run-rate will back themselves to go through to semis, West Indies are not out yet. To stay in contention, though, they will have to beat... drum roll... England. After what they have been through with England over the last three months, now this: another match, with a semi-final place riding on it. What fun. Join us for that too. Until the, okay bye

Gayle: We didn't get a good start with the bat. Losing two wickets set us apart. Having said that, Lendl batted really well to give us a chance. He is in good form, and we have an important game to go against England. We have a good chance against them."

Smith: Very pleased. To post 180 was a good effort, we slowed down a bit with their good bowling but it was a good effort over all. It's a difficult field to defend, and we did well. Lendl Simmons played a great knock, so we had to fight harder."

Parnell, the Man of the Match: I took confidence from the England and gave my 100%. I actually believe this is a batsmen's game, but if you bowl really well you can get wickets. I have developed those yorkers over the last 10 months."

And with that, South Africa become the first team to string together six wins in a row in Twenty20 internationals. They were just too strong for West Indies, who were not aggressive enough with their bowling and batting starts. And Parnell, wow, what a display of consistent bowling of accurate yorkers. Simmons and Gibbs played two gems, but SA were too strong in the end

So Parnell has four wickets, and we have one man to go. Can he get a five-for and claim the best-ever figures in a Twenty20 international? Benn to face

Parnell to Taylor, OUT

he has made a mess of the stumps here, yorker, straight and fast, and Taylor plays all over it. 4 for 4 for Parnell, very close to best-ever figures in a Twenty20, which is 4 for 7 as it stands now

an undisputed Yorker, gets one to point

17.2
W
Parnell to Pollard, OUT

almost a yorker, dug out, goes to Smith at cover, who starts celebrating, Pollard thinks this is a bump ball, Benson discusses with Dar and goes to third umpire. Replays show it is a low fulltoss, and the puff of dust comes from bat hitting the ground. Hang on! Strange! Given not-out! What drama. It was the wrong button pressed, the third umpire corrects himself. Long as they correct themselves in time, off goes Pollard
