We were led by a very good seam attack.

They're two huge players for them and have done well for a number of years, so we felt pretty good after that.

It's not broken ? it's just bruised in a nasty spot ? but I'm not sure whether he will join us in the morning.

We've got plans to try and get him out and luckily to this stage it has worked. We feel pretty good about things at the moment. Obviously getting Brian and Chris Gayle (for 68), who are two huge players for them, helps us immensely.

I think the x-ray came back all-clear but when you field first slip you don't want to have bruises, so I'm not sure when we'll see him again.
