🏏West Indies vs India, 2nd Test: Queen's Park Oval Trinidad🏏 - Page 86

57.4 Mukesh Kumar to Brathwaite, 5 runs, gift for Brathwaite. He tucks this back of a length delivery to the square leg area, Jadeja is in quickly and fires a throw at the striker's end, well wide even as Blackwood was in, no backward point and the slip fielder tries to dive and cut it off, doesn't and it runs away for four more. So that's 11 runs in 2 balls for Brathwaite

57.3 Mukesh Kumar to Brathwaite, SIX, short at Brathwaite who awkwardly pulls but gets it all the way over fine-leg. There was a deep backward square leg and Brathwaite got it well away from that man

Apaar: "Been watching cricket for over 20 years now. Can't remember a single occasion where the short mid-on has directly contributed to a wicket. I'm still amazed why teams use this mode so often. Is having someone in their eyeline that distracting?" --- I think it's a warning to the batter lest he pushes one even slightly in the air. And that fielder can be useful too when the ball is consistently moving into the batter

59.1 Mukesh Kumar to Brathwaite, no run, good delivery! Mukesh Kumar goes wide of the crease and bowls a short of length delivery outside off that holds its line, Brathwaite fiddles and is lucky not to have edged that

59.2 Mukesh Kumar to Brathwaite, no ball, again wide of the crease and angling into Brathwaite on a good length on off, punched to mid-on. A front foot no-ball from Mukesh Kumar

WI: 139-2 after 60 overs
