England vs West Indies, 4th Test at Leeds, Aug 17 2000
This was as euphoric a day for England cricketers as they could have dreamed of. For West Indies it was humiliation heaped upon disaster throughout the second day as they surrendered in the most ignominious fashion to go down by an innings and 39 runs in the fourth Test.
Cornhill Insurance
To be one up in the series with just one Test to come, is a great position to be in. What is important for England is to maintain the momentum gained in this Test. They showed all the right qualities, there was application when it was required at the start of the day, a determination to win and aggression all through the latter half of the day when West Indies' batsmen were struggling to survive.
That inability to despatch an apparently stricken opponent that has prevailed so often, with England, in similar circumstances in the recent past, was not there this time as they, ruthlessly demolished the West Indies innings.
With the match much in the balance at the start of the day, after the tourists had dismissed half the England side for 96 on the previous evening and then removed the nightwatchman, England batsmen applied themselves to their task with diligence, realising the importance of a first innings lead. The one advantage they had was that they batted practically all the way down the order.
Man-of-the-match Michael Vaughan and Graeme Hick ensured that their side's eventual lead would be substantial, with an invaluable stand which ended just two short of a century.
After Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh had produced their customary spell of fine bowling, Vaughan and Hick took runs more freely from the others, although the two veteran fast bowlers also received some punishment in a later spell. West Indies fielding became ragged and catches went down, particularly an easy one from Dominic Cork that Wavell Hinds dropped and the ground fielding was appalling at times.
England were well in the lead - by fifty runs - by the time Hick, having reached his eighteenth Test century was dismissed. Vaughan's was the penultimate wicket to fall, his 76 was the result of a determined effort that immensly helped England to a vitally important hundred-run lead in such a low scoring match.
From half-way through the second session of play, it was the story of England's bowlers. Their ascendency was from the outset as they totally dominated the afternoon. Darren Gough struck two early blows, with consecutive balls he removed Adrian Griffith and Wavell Hinds, both without scoring. Then in his next over he had Brian Lara padding up to a ball for the second time in the match, to be dismissed for two.

00:00Well, we can't predict any action here today on day one of this test match, but we can predict Cricket AM on Saturday morning, 9 o'clock in the morning, Sky Sports 1 HD. Guests Nick Compton, Corey Collymore and Mark Butcher.
00:16Equally so, we can be pretty certain that Paul Allett will be there on Sunday morning with his cricket writers, John Stern, Richard Hobson and the ever entertaining Michael Henderson. That'll be 9 o'clock in the morning, Sky Sports 1 HD again.
00:30That's all that's coming up at the weekend. Right, let's continue looking for action from the year 2000. We've shown you Lords, a test match that made it to 1-1 in the series. The following one at Old Trafford was a draw. So they went to Leeds for the fourth out of five. Now, for the England team, the home team, Nasser Hussain, back in action. He'd been missing at Lords with a broken finger, but back in action as captain at number three. Nick Knight, of course, having broken his finger at Lords, no longer part of the XI.
00:57So that's the England team on the left. West Indies compared to that team at Lords with the one change in the bowling department, Nixon McLean coming in instead of Franklin Rose. So won all it was. Let's see what happened.
01:10Lovely stroke.
01:19First boundary of the day to Sherwin Campbell. That raced away up the hill to the Western Terrace.
01:33He loves that area, Sherwin Campbell.
01:38Lots of fielders in that general area.
01:40Two men in the gully position.
01:42One man behind the square.
01:43That one got enough bat to take it in front of square.
01:55In the air and gone.
01:57Field pacing is worked by Hussain.
02:01Roffs deserved that wicket.
02:04Marcus Trescotik, the deeper of those two gullies.
02:07Campbell goes early.
02:08England get that much needed early break through the West Indies.
02:12Eleven for one in the third over.
02:14Always on the cards with Sherwin Campbell.
02:17Again, if you notice here that his feet don't go a long way towards the ball.
02:20Look at that.
02:21The back foot almost by the stumps.
02:24No control over that shot once the ball is doing a bit off the seam.
02:28Had to work at some stage.
02:29Lots of men behind square.
02:31It's eleven for one.
02:32Lovely way to get off the mark, that is.
02:51Still shot.
02:52Well played.
02:52Now we'll race away.
02:53Quick outfield here.
02:58It's first boundary.
03:00Nicely played.
03:01That's a fine shot.
03:08Just over pitch from Dominic Cork.
03:12And he could expect no less from a test class batsman.
03:17Fifty for one than West Indies.
03:25Craig White's found a way through.
03:27That's the inside edge, I think.
03:29George Sharp raises the finger.
03:30Alex Stewart with a very simple chance behind the stumps.
03:35Just what England needed.
03:37That's come at a very good moment.
03:39West Indies threatening to move on.
03:41Sir Daikley here.
03:42Well, Craig White rising to the occasion.
03:47He's England's fourth bowler.
03:49He's got pace.
03:50And it was the pace that undid the batsman there.
03:54Hines.
03:55Just trying to jam down on it.
03:57Getting an inside edge through to Alex Stewart.
03:59Moeville Hines has gone for 16.
04:03Caught Stewart.
04:03Bold White.
04:04And the West Indies are 50 for two.
04:06So Brian Lara out there at number four for the West Indies.
04:11Straight away off the mark, Brian Lara.
04:29It's a lovely little whip shot.
04:30And four runs from his first delivery.
04:36On his way out there, he was rearranging those glasses and trying to get settled, it seems.
04:41One or two nervous shuffles.
04:42But that first shot, not a problem.
04:45There's a lot too much wrong with the eyes here.
04:49First ball pulled away.
04:51All along the ground through in front of Square.
04:55Right up on his toes.
04:58Almost as if he was expecting a short ball from Craig White.
05:05Oh, got to be close.
05:06Very close.
05:07He's gone.
05:07Yes, Brian Lara leaves it alone.
05:09Pays the price.
05:12Finger goes up from George Sharp and Craig White from round the wicket.
05:16Finding absolutely the right angle.
05:18It's a misjudgment from Brian Lara.
05:21And he would have known almost straight away.
05:24Halfway down, I'm sure Brian Lara would have thought, oh no.
05:28That one I've got wrong.
05:29Waits for the decision and has to go.
05:31White repaying the faith that's been shown in him.
05:34This is Plum.
05:36Hitting Lara just fractionally outside the line of off stump.
05:40It doesn't matter because the bat's still way above his head.
05:43No shot offered.
05:44The ball would have gone on to hit off stump.
05:45Middle and off.
05:46And White has struck twice in two overs.
05:49Lara has gone.
05:50The prize wicket.
05:5154 for three.
05:52Darin Goff coming down the hill now.
06:02That's off the edge.
06:04Griffith is absolutely livid with himself and not surprisingly.
06:07Whereas Darin Goff has almost done a lap of the ground it seems.
06:12Straight into the arms of his colleagues.
06:15Suddenly it's all changed round.
06:17Three wickets in a hurry for England.
06:19And have tipped the balance of this game already.
06:2156 for four now.
06:22Well Griffith is distraught.
06:28Annoyed in the extreme with himself for having a go at this.
06:32It was a little bit wide but a clear edge through to Alex Stewart.
06:39And Darin Goff celebrates by being a bit of a Courtney Walsh.
06:43As Adrian Griffith takes a lump out of his pad with the bat.
06:46He's gone for 22.
06:49It's 56 for four.
06:54Inside out.
06:55Onto the stumps.
06:56That's Craig White's third wicket of the morning.
07:01And an instant result of changing the angle of attack.
07:05He went over the wicket.
07:09So drama at Headingley.
07:11Everything for half an hour has gone England's way.
07:14Jimmy Adams now on his way back.
07:17Can't beat this for entertainment.
07:19White over the wicket this time.
07:21Adams looking to drive inside edge.
07:24Into the stumps.
07:25Nothing going right for the West Indies.
07:27The captain's gone now.
07:29They're 60 for five.
07:38Runs here.
07:39Be quick down there.
07:40It goes over the net area.
07:42It's going to go to all the way.
07:43It's going to push.
07:4968 for five.
07:56Gloved.
07:57And great catch.
08:00Now, Doug Kelly is saying, hit him on the forearm.
08:03Well, it looked very much to me as if everything was right.
08:09But, let's have a look and see what the replay shows us.
08:13Well, this is very interesting.
08:17Nasser Hussain is very disappointed.
08:20Doug Cowie didn't think it was a glove.
08:22My first impression was glove.
08:24And this will tell us.
08:27Well, well.
08:28Well, I think Stuart will be disappointed when he sees this is a great catch.
08:36Yeah, there's.
08:38It's a.
08:40They're let off.
08:40That's going to be four down the hill.
08:51Overpitched.
08:54Put away.
08:54There goes that ball racing down to the short boundary at the football ground end.
09:07The hundreds up for the West Indies.
09:08They've started very positively after the luncheon interval here.
09:21Lovely straight drive.
09:27In fine Fettel Jacobs.
09:29Well, that's away for four.
09:38There's no man at D-backward square for Kadic.
09:42Two excellent boundaries from Jacobs in this over.
09:54Played beautifully away.
09:55It's two extra cover.
09:59And Salen continues on his merry way.
10:10There's nothing wrong with this.
10:12It's just put out there.
10:14Always in control.
10:17Nicely played.
10:22Well, that could be out now.
10:23A simple chance.
10:26Dandy Kadic at mid-off.
10:27Just positions himself.
10:29That ball looping towards him.
10:33So, just at the moment.
10:35When Salen and Jacobs.
10:38We're doing most things right.
10:40Taking the game away from England.
10:42It's a poor shot.
10:44A rash shot.
10:46That has meant the end of Ridley Jacobs.
10:48Well, he attempted a strange shot.
10:51The end of the four off Dominic Cork.
10:52This time, right off the bottom of the bat.
10:54And, well, that's as simple as they come.
10:58Tamed dismissal.
11:00I think the Jacobs goes for 35.
11:01It's 128 for six.
11:03It's been hit very well.
11:11A couple of ounces into the old pavilion here at Headingley.
11:17Edged.
11:17Oh, what a good catch that is.
11:19Oh, hang on.
11:23Well, I thought Stuart was going across.
11:26Others says he doesn't know.
11:27Mike Atherton says he doesn't know.
11:30So, presumably the third umpire will come in here.
11:33I thought Stuart had pouched that.
11:35Well, Alex Stuart certainly was going for it.
11:41I think in the end, he either missed it or decided to pull out of the attempt.
11:46Well, this will give us a clear indication as to what happened.
11:48There goes Stuart's glove.
11:50Didn't quite get there.
11:53Didn't quite get to Mike Atherton either.
12:05It was always on the cards.
12:34Just constantly pushing at those balls on the off stump.
12:38Good bowling by Craig White to maintain that line.
12:42Good captain, Sabay's captain to have the field placing,
12:45although it was only required for the wicket keeper.
12:471-4, 3-4, 7.
12:49Dominic Cork is still plugging away from the Kirkstall lane.
12:52And he's bowled six overs.
12:531-4, 17.
12:54Got rid of Ridley Jacobs.
12:56Got a more attacking field now.
12:57And quite rightly so too.
12:59To Kirtley Ambrose.
13:00Three slips of gully.
13:01And a short leg.
13:02Didn't need any of them.
13:04Because Ambrose has played on.
13:07An indeterminate stroke.
13:09And the Cork just got it to knit back a fraction.
13:13But really Ambrose hanging his bat out has played on to Dominic Cork.
13:18Not too sure whether to play or leave.
13:25Currently Ambrose.
13:26In the end he did neither.
13:30Tried to take the bat out of the way.
13:32But just a bit late in doing so.
13:34Very upset.
13:36Very upset.
13:36Very angry with himself.
13:38It's 1-48 for 8.
13:39And he'll get 1-4.
13:40And he'll get 1-4.
13:44And the rebound.
13:45And that'll take him to 50.
13:47And he'll get 1-4.
13:49And the rebound.
13:49And that'll take him to 50.
13:51So well played.
13:57But it's a second 50 in Test Match Crickets.
14:09That's a fine shot.
14:10The one with very good reason.
14:13That he placed it perfectly.
14:20That's very straight.
14:23Straight enough for Doug Cowie as well.
14:29Darren Goff.
14:30Back into the act again.
14:34Didn't need anything really from Doug Cowie.
14:37Full ball.
14:39Dead straight.
14:40Ramrod straight.
14:42Rion King back on the stumps.
14:44I'm sure he walked off.
14:45Very easy for Doug Cowie.
14:48England still on the rampage.
14:50They've now taken 9 West Indies wickets.
14:52Rion King's the latest one to go.
14:54It's 168 for 9.
15:01That's out.
15:03That's the end of the innings.
15:04It's a five-wicket haul for Craig White.
15:09So a good day for him.
15:11The adopted Yorkshireman.
15:16So the scorecard at the end of that.
15:18West Indies first innings at Headingley.
15:20August 2000.
15:21Led by Ramros Sarwan.
15:23Not out at the end.
15:2459.
15:26And Rudy Jacobs next with 35.
15:29West Indies would have been slightly disappointed if they won 72.
15:32But Headingley, of course, always a place where you get some very interesting cricket.
15:36Especially in that sort of era, too.
15:39England's bowlers in that West Indies first innings.
15:42Darren Goff taking three.
15:433 for 59.
15:44Caddick Nunn for 35.
15:46Craig White.
15:47Yorkshireman.
15:48Five for 57.
15:49Yorkshireman of sorts.
15:50Dominic Cork.
15:51Two for 19.
15:53So at 1.72 it was.
15:56So let's have a look at how England fared in there first innings.
16:07Taken.
16:09Trescothic fails.
16:10And Ambrose is just one wicket away now from 400.
16:16Virtually unplayable delivery.
16:18Seeming away from the left-hander.
16:20And a good catch.
16:24Nothing that you can do about those.
16:26It's pitched.
16:28Bounced.
16:29Taken the shoulder of the bat.
16:31And that's as nice as you get at first slip.
16:33And that's the start.
16:34The West Indies needed.
16:40Trescothic's gone for one.
16:41It's 7 for 1.
16:45Edged again.
16:46Lara's there again.
16:48And Kirtley Ambrose celebrates his 400th test wicket.
16:52He's got Atherton again.
16:56What a great achievement for a superb fast bowler.
17:02Courtney Walsh pairing up from his outfield position
17:08to congratulate his colleague.
17:11Ambrose salutes the dressing room.
17:16Four fingers represents 400 test match wickets.
17:23And 17 times he's dismissed Michael Atherton.
17:27If Trescothic's delivery was difficult to play,
17:32Atherton's was just about impossible,
17:34and this knowledgeable Yorkshire crowd salute
17:38a great cricketing hero, Kirtley Ambrose.
17:42This is it.
17:43The moment he'll trerish.
17:45There you go.
17:46Outside edge.
17:47Brian Lara.
17:48Thank you very much.
17:49And the celebration start.
17:51And why wouldn't they?
17:53Courtney Walsh there, top of the tree.
17:554.72, but now Kirtley Ambrose moves into fifth position,
18:01and what an exalted club that top five enjoy.
18:05The 400 club.
18:06Walsh to Hussain.
18:23Smashes into Hussain's bottom hand.
18:27Now that's going to hurt.
18:41Here's Rion King.
18:42Four through mid-wicket.
18:53Welcome relief for Graham Thorpe and for England.
19:02Let's pull that away very confidently.
19:05He's got it just around about square leg.
19:08Dead square.
19:09It's hit on the up, and timed very sweetly by Graham Thorpe.
19:2750 comes up for England.
19:28That's a terrific shot from Thorpe.
19:39Although that's rolling up the hill, it's going to make the rope easily enough.
19:43Hines will lose this race.
19:59It's wide of third man.
20:10That'll race away for four more.
20:11Terrific over for Graham Thorpe and England.
20:22Let's give him.
20:23Big shout.
20:25Kerry had a long look.
20:27That's Hussain.
20:29Goes.
20:30W.
20:39Surprise, surprise.
20:40Courtland Walsh is involved.
20:41Just stays on that off-stump line.
20:50No real foot movement.
20:53Balls are full of length.
20:55England captain has played well for his 22.
20:57It's a modest total, but my word, he's played well.
21:0022 from 74 balls.
21:01But his LBW to Courtney Walsh, England, 80 for three.
21:11That's very close, and this time he's got in.
21:14Doug Carey just takes a moment or two to think about it, just to line up everything he needs to work on.
21:20Courtney Walsh's perseverance has paid off.
21:28This is what you have got to do if you're a right-hander coming over the wicket to the left-handed batsman.
21:33You have got to pitch it in line and get it to straighten.
21:36That's a beautiful delivery.
21:37No way that would have missed mid-stump.
21:42Doug Carey just making sure that everything was right in his mind, that it had pitched in line, it had straightened, it did.
21:49Good innings from Graham Thorpe has come to an end.
21:51It's 9-3 for four.
21:56Michael Vaughan at number six for England.
21:58It's on home territory here at Headingley.
22:02Oh, yes!
22:03At the moment, that territory being firmly controlled by Courtney Walsh.
22:15That is a very interesting delivery to get first up.
22:30Hit him plumb in front.
22:32There's absolutely no doubt there.
22:33And he's not forward either.
22:39Beautifully taken.
22:41My word, that's a good catch.
22:42Made it look very, very easy.
22:46Sherwin Campbell at second slip.
22:49Make sure the West Indies finish his day on a strong note.
22:52Still some time left, but Alex Stewart on his way back now.
22:55And that is a very important wicket for the West Indies.
23:00Very, very important wicket.
23:02Alex Stewart is in excellent form and that is a good delivery.
23:05Alex Stewart looking to play down to mid-on.
23:07If he was looking to play towards mid-wicket, rather, you could say it was a bad shot.
23:12But he was looking to play straight, perhaps on the onside of the pitch.
23:15And the ball just did enough to find the outside edge.
23:17And that was an excellent catch by Sherwin Campbell at second slip.
23:21That's 96 for five.
23:22Good shot from Vaughan.
23:41Straight down the ground.
23:43Benefits of playing with a straight back.
23:46Marked on this pitch.
23:47That's a good start for Vaughan.
23:49He's picked up three.
23:52Now that's good running.
24:03And overthrows as well.
24:05That might go all the way up the hill for four overthrows.
24:07It's not going to.
24:09Rion King tracking after it.
24:13England putting the West Indies under pressure here and reaping the reward.
24:17They've got three from that.
24:22Another run here.
24:25It's a hit and run at the moment.
24:28And more overthrows.
24:33Quality cricket from England.
24:34And it's putting the West Indies under the spotlight.
24:36This is good cricket from England.
24:47Definitely.
24:48Oh well.
25:00That's one that's flown and flown through to Jacobs.
25:04It's the end of Caddick.
25:06He couldn't do anything about it.
25:08Top bowling from Ambrose.
25:10But you'd have to say the pitch played its part as well.
25:14England a six down.
25:16Well even that thing still exemplifies the point you're trying to make Paul.
25:21That if you bowl straight the batsman will have to play at a lot more deliveries.
25:24And when it bounces like this and seams around as it had been seeming around.
25:28You're more liable to take wickets.
25:30But that is a good wicket for Ambrose.
25:32That bounced.
25:34That took off.
25:36West Indies needed a wicket at this stage of proceeding this morning.
25:40It's 1.24 for 6.
25:48It's pulled away in front of Square.
25:50In majestic style.
25:52Nicely in the slot for Michael Vaughan.
26:05And beautiful put away.
26:10Good shot.
26:11Slightly over pitched.
26:13But Graham Hick very quickly in the position.
26:20England just three behind now.
26:22Courtney Walsh just starting a new over then from the Kirkstall lane end.
26:31That's a great shot.
26:35They're racing down that hill for a boundary.
26:46Oh that's a great shot.
26:48Because it bounced on him.
26:49And to get up very high to keep it down.
26:54Wonderful boundary for Graham Hick.
26:55It's pulled away in front of Square.
27:09Running away down the hill.
27:10That'll be four all right.
27:11Well Graham Hick was given the poison chalice for this match.
27:29Come and have a bat at number seven.
27:30He finished in going in at number eight.
27:33But he's confounded his critics once again.
27:3652 not out.
27:38In just 85 balls.
27:40Well eventually Jacobs takes the bails off.
27:51And that's a very sensible move by Jimmy Adams.
27:55He's got rid of Graham Hick for 59.
27:58Hick coming down the track.
28:00Looking for the big straight hit.
28:03But the ball turned past his outside edge.
28:05And he gave up the ghost.
28:08He might have got back if he'd tried to straight away.
28:11Because Jacobs didn't take the bails off immediately.
28:16But that's an important innings by Graham Hick.
28:21But he's gone now for 59.
28:25England lead by 50.
28:34Big edge.
28:36At last Nixon McLean gets a wicket.
28:39Craig White has gone for a duck.
28:41And the West Indies fighting back.
28:45Two wickets in quick succession.
28:48And with the new ball still to come.
28:50If they should need it.
28:52Well that's the nature of this pitch.
28:54When you get a wicket there's always a chance of you getting another one quite quickly.
28:59Craig White.
29:00Not accustomed to the conditions out there yet.
29:03Vagaries of this pitch.
29:04Bit of seam movement.
29:05Just seemed to stab at that ball.
29:07That was reasonably wide.
29:08It's 2.24 foot 8.
29:09That will be away for four.
29:19And bring up a very good 50 from Michael Vaughan.
29:24Terrific effort by Vaughan.
29:29Maturity shown beyond his years.
29:33And this will be a special moment for him.
29:35On his home ground here in Yorkshire.
29:37Straight up in the air.
29:47Wavell-Hinds makes a complete hash of it.
29:50The crowd have enjoyed it.
29:58But what embarrassment for the fielder.
30:07That's it that beautifully.
30:08That's bisected those men in the deep on the leg side.
30:11Perfectly played.
30:20Great shots.
30:23Well don't worry about looking for ones.
30:26That four will do very nicely indeed.
30:27No need to run for that.
30:38Courtney Walsh this time over pitches.
30:44Lovely to run.
30:48It's all looking very rosy for England at this stage then.
30:512.67 for eight.
30:53With Michael Vaughan not out 76.
30:58But West Indies now will be pinning their hopes on the fact that Kirtley Ambrose has the second new ball in his hand.
31:06Two wickets left to fall.
31:08As far as Jimmy Adams and his main bowler here are concerned.
31:11These two wickets need to fall very, very quickly.
31:18The lead is 95 for England.
31:19That's sizeable.
31:21Under these conditions.
31:22The cricket from England.
31:37Ambrose down the hill.
31:39Just overstepping.
31:42Dominic Cork keen for the single.
31:44Michael Vaughan keen to accept the offer.
31:47Well he's done it again Dominic Cork.
31:49He comes in and he will disturb the opposition.
31:53Discipline's gone momentarily from the West Indies play.
31:57Ball is overstepping.
32:00Fielder's not alive to the situation.
32:02England are looking to pin singles.
32:05Either side of the wicket.
32:08Doing it very successfully.
32:15That's through into the gloves.
32:18Nicely taken by Ridley Jacobs.
32:22In the end it's only taken Kirtley Ambrose two deliveries to make the breakthrough that West Indies have been awaiting for some hours.
32:31It's the end of Michael Vaughan but it's been a wonderful little innings this.
32:35Played terrifically well Michael Vaughan.
32:39Tame end.
32:40New ball taken by the West Indies.
32:41Come and have a ball Kirtley.
32:43Come and get us a wicket.
32:44He's done exactly that.
32:45But what a terrific knock that's been from Michael Vaughan.
32:48Eddie Lee stands to him.
32:51And his teammates too.
32:53The vital knock.
32:55One of their own.
32:56Vaughan's gone for 76.
32:582.69 for nine.
32:59Well he skied that.
33:06Should be the end of the innings.
33:07And this man the man look.
33:11This time the man looking cool underneath it.
33:14Cool he takes the catch.
33:15Aidan Griffith.
33:16Called for it.
33:18Judged it.
33:19Kept his hands high.
33:22And made sure that that one didn't bounce embarrassingly back on the turf.
33:27It's up there somewhere.
33:33Griffith calls it.
33:36That'll be a teaser for him.
33:38Takes it calmly in the end.
33:42Well the game moving forward up at Leeds.
33:452.72.
33:46England all outs.
33:47Just after the second new ball taken.
33:50But some enterprising stuff.
33:51Actually from both teams.
33:53Thorpe 46 batting at four.
33:55Vaughan 76.
33:56Top score batting at six.
33:58Hick just down the order slightly.
33:59Cadigan as a night watchman.
34:01At the end of the first day.
34:02So Hick making 59.
34:04And England a useful lead there of 100.
34:07West Indies in those days of course ever reliant on the king pair of Ambrose and Walsh.
34:12Four wickets apiece.
34:14McLean and Adams.
34:16Jimmy Adams taking the other two wickets.
34:18So vital lead there for England.
34:21Of 100 exactly.
34:26Now here in Birmingham today we've had rain pretty much all day.
34:33Still with us.
34:34And the forecast suggests that it's going to be with us for a little while yet as well.
34:42First time we've seen the umpires today.
34:44And it wasn't really what we'd call an inspection.
34:47Because all they did was head across from the pavilion.
34:49Towards the groundsman's area hidden away under the stand.
34:56Up on that north side of the ground.
34:58Away to our left as that picture is concerned.
35:02So umpires conferring with ground staff as we speak.
35:05And it all depends on your definition of what is good news and what is bad news as to what will come of that.
35:12But if there is any news from them about possibilities or lack thereof we'll let you know as soon as we can.
35:19Okay that is the situation here.
35:21Let's go back to the action August 2000 at Headingley.
35:26England have a lead of 100.
35:27Adrian Griffiths to space his first ball.
35:37Darren Gough.
35:39And his last ball.
35:40Straight through the gate.
35:42Half-stump goes out the ground.
35:44Loose shot.
35:46But what a fine delivery.
35:49He's one and only delivering.
35:51It was a good one.
35:52We're just talking about two bowling to hit the stumps Ian.
35:55And it doesn't get more emphatic than that.
35:58The off-stump has flown out of the ground.
36:00Griffith nowhere near really.
36:03Just shuffling.
36:03Bit of swing from Gough.
36:06Homing in.
36:07Three quarters of the way up off-stump.
36:10Out of the ground.
36:13Best of starts for England.
36:14Darren Gough strikes.
36:16Congratulated by Vaughan.
36:19And Griffith is gone.
36:20But nought.
36:21It's three for one the West Indies.
36:25That's out.
36:35It's got to be out.
36:36It's straight in front.
36:37And Darren Gough is on a hat-trick.
36:39Wavell-Hines doesn't trouble the scorers.
36:42First two deliveries.
36:44First one at Roots.
36:45The off-stump.
36:45Second ball.
36:46Wavell-Hines in front of everything.
36:48He departs.
36:49And Darren Gough is on a hat-trick.
36:52Two and two for Gough.
36:53Identical deliveries.
36:55Just different types of dismissal.
36:57First one at Roots off-stump.
36:59To get rid of Griffith.
37:00This one.
37:01Swinging back at Hines.
37:04Traps him.
37:05Full in front.
37:07Perfect delivery.
37:08Just a little bit of swing.
37:09Pitch is on middle and off.
37:11Hits the back pad.
37:13He was going on the way through to middle-stump.
37:16Middle and off.
37:17Hines gone for nought.
37:18And West Indy's in deep trouble at three for two.
37:22Hat-trick ball.
37:23Field hasn't changed.
37:25Three slips.
37:26Two gullies.
37:27That backward point.
37:28No mid-off.
37:29And there's a fine leg slip coming.
37:31The mid-offs come out.
37:34Michael Vaughan at that pad.
37:35And he can it down.
37:39Right.
37:40Fine leg.
37:41Brian Lara.
37:42He's plenty of experience.
37:44He's going to take his time.
37:45Keep the crowd waiting.
37:46Keep the bowler waiting.
37:48And I don't think Darren Goss is going to mind that.
37:50He can also gather his thoughts.
37:52And check the guard again.
37:53Brian Lara.
37:54He won't have been expecting to be in quite so quickly now.
38:00And that's what I'm saying.
38:02Just decided to change the field.
38:05Putting Dominic Cork in at that fine slip position.
38:08He's going to backward point.
38:10And now we are set.
38:12Baron Goff comes in.
38:14And a hat-trick to Brian Lara.
38:15It's a fine delivery for the hat-trick.
38:24But I think Brian Lara played that well.
38:26And also goes first to say I think Darren Goss wouldn't mind three and four balls.
38:34It's well played by Lara.
38:36Committing himself fully forward.
38:43That's got to be very close.
38:45It's out.
38:46Padded up again.
38:47It's been deceived.
38:49Second time in the match.
38:50And Brian Lara goes for just two runs.
38:53Darren Goss has done everything and some more than his captain could ever want.
38:58Misjudgment.
39:01Talk about match-winning spells.
39:03Well, we might just be seeing one here.
39:06Three wickets to Goss.
39:07This is the third one.
39:09Pitch is on middle stump.
39:11He's coming back to hit off stump.
39:14As Lara makes a second error of judgment.
39:17And his LBW padding up.
39:20For the second time in the match.
39:22Darren Goss delighted yet again.
39:24Lara's gone for two.
39:25West Indies 11 for three.
39:27Over-pitched and four runs.
39:36Darren Goss got it right.
39:37Andy Carrick hasn't.
39:38That is a fine catch.
39:50Darren Goss strikes for the fourth time.
39:52Well, it doesn't matter what the plan was.
39:58The result is just what England wanted.
40:05Showing Campbell on his way back.
40:07Feeling, I'm sure, there's not much he could have done about this.
40:10And despite that outstretched left hand of Graham Thorpe, Graham Hick kept his eyes on the ball, took a very fine catch indeed.
40:24Showing Campbell gone for 12.
40:25West Indies four down now for 21.
40:27In the air, but over Gully and away for four.
40:42That's away past Atherton and Hick for four.
40:45There's a short hold up here.
40:57This ball has split the finger.
41:01Just trapping it onto the bat handle, I think.
41:07Painful.
41:08But it's just split the finger.
41:11So the physio will come out.
41:12And some running repairs.
41:15There we go.
41:25Painful.
41:32So he comes out to
41:34mop up the damage.
41:41So Jimmy Adams is just about ready to continue.
41:45He's done it.
41:49Beautiful in-swinger to the left-hander.
41:52Adams didn't get his concentration together after that break for the finger injury.
41:58Cork strikes for England.
41:59The West Indies skipper goes.
42:00And the West Indies 49 for five.
42:03That's the wicket they wanted.
42:07That's the wicket they wanted.
42:08Jimmy Adams.
42:10This time dragging it in to the stumps.
42:13Inside edge.
42:13Onto the stumps from Dominic Cork.
42:16Craig White.
42:17Got in.
42:18First innings.
42:19Jimmy Adams has gone for 19.
42:21The West Indies 49 for five.
42:22Simon and Jacobs at the crease.
42:32Jacobs has yet to face a ball.
42:33He's about to do so now.
42:35From Dominic Cork.
42:37That scorecard makes
42:38pretty dismal reading
42:40if you're a West Indies supporter
42:41or a West Indies player.
42:50Oh, got to be close.
42:52Got to be very close.
42:54George Sharp says not out.
42:56And love to see it again.
42:58George Sharp has given it not out
43:00because I think
43:01he thought it was going down the leg side.
43:03This is what England will work on
43:05with Ridley Jacobs.
43:06Full end swinging ball.
43:08Skylines in.
43:09It's done too much.
43:09I think it's Kadic coming up the hill.
43:19Oh, and he's been given.
43:21Well,
43:23Doug Cowie has
43:24fought long and hard about that.
43:26I should think Ridley Jacobs
43:27is a little bit
43:29unhappy
43:29to say the least.
43:32But the West Indies
43:33are six down now.
43:35Played far and got by England
43:37but hardly an appeal.
43:39Skylines in.
43:40Full length delivery.
43:41Looking to hit him on the pad again.
43:44It's in the skyline.
43:45He's all over the place.
43:48Do you know it looks a good decision?
43:51From where he gets himself
43:52in all sorts of trouble
43:53Ridley Jacobs.
43:55I said it wasn't a big appeal
43:56from England.
43:57It's big enough.
43:59Jacobs is on his way.
44:00West Indies.
44:02West Indies.
44:03West Indies.
44:03West Indies.
44:03West Indies.
44:03West Indies.
44:03West Indies are down to the bowlers.
44:11Nixon McLean is in now.
44:12The crowd roar.
44:19There's no chance of that being given out.
44:22Let's have another look at this LBW.
44:27It didn't look anything like out to me
44:29in when I first saw it.
44:32Pitch is in line.
44:33Jacobs has got
44:34half decent stride in.
44:36It's hit him above the knee roll.
44:39Well from there
44:40I suppose you could say
44:41it wasn't too bad
44:43but I think it's probably going over the top
44:44and down the leg side.
44:46Oh!
44:46Bold him!
44:47Bold him!
44:48England are on the course
44:50for a famous win here.
44:52Caddick has got
44:53two wickets in three balls now.
44:56McLean has gone
44:57and the West Indies
44:58are desperate
45:00at 52 for seven.
45:02Caddick's at his right end.
45:04Everybody wants the ball down there.
45:05Darren Goff
45:06Fourwick is in no time
45:07at the top of the West Indies
45:09second innings.
45:10Caddick comes to the party.
45:12Full left.
45:12Swinging.
45:13Off stump.
45:14Cartwheels out of the ground.
45:16Nixon McLean.
45:17He's been in
45:18and he's out.
45:20Couple of deliveries
45:21and Caddick has done the rest.
45:2652 for seven.
45:31Now it's Kirtley Ambrose
45:33in at nine.
45:36West Indies.
45:37West Indies 52 for seven.
45:39And in danger of
45:40subsiding completely
45:42here this evening.
45:45Two day test match
45:47very much on the cards
45:48here.
45:49West Indies are still
45:50behind by 48 runs.
45:54England's bowlers
45:54getting wickets
45:55in batches.
45:56first it was Goff
45:59now it's Caddick.
46:00first ball.
46:06Three in four balls
46:07for Andrew Caddick.
46:09What a spell this is.
46:10He's just got it right
46:11coming up the hill.
46:13Struggled early on.
46:15That's the second time
46:17the off stump
46:17has gone out of the ground.
46:20Two in two for Caddick.
46:21Great stuff.
46:22Start of the card
46:25is absolutely
46:26unplayable
46:26at the moment.
46:27Look at the crowd.
46:29England crowd.
46:30This is in England.
46:31Kirtley Ambrose
46:32on his way back.
46:34England look at
46:35the big screen.
46:35What a beauty
46:36Caddick says.
46:37Full swinging
46:38off stump.
46:39Out you go again.
46:42Set them up again.
46:43There's two to go.
46:44West Indies
46:4552 for eight.
46:47It's Rion King.
46:51Rion King
46:52on a hat-trick
46:52in at number ten.
46:56Andrew Caddick
46:56may never have
46:57a better chance
46:58of getting three
46:59and three.
47:02If he does
47:03it'll be four
47:03and five.
47:05All he needs
47:06is
47:06same ball.
47:09Well pitched up
47:10at the stumps.
47:12The crowd
47:13have had
47:13an enormous amount
47:15to shout about today.
47:16Look at that
47:16for a field.
47:18Been seen
47:19set by an
47:20England captain
47:21for years and years.
47:22Here's Caddick
47:22on a hat-trick
47:23to Rion King.
47:25Ooh.
47:25Pass the outside edge.
47:29What an atmosphere.
47:36Club band
47:36sat out
47:37with the crowd
47:38in the winter shed.
47:40Wonderful atmosphere.
47:42They're expecting
47:42England wickets.
47:43England bowlers
47:44are expecting wickets.
47:45That's the hat-trick ball.
47:49Just passes the outside edge
47:51of Rion King.
47:54Three and four.
47:57Last delivery of the
47:5823rd over.
47:5952 for eight
48:00West Indies.
48:01No ball.
48:03No ball.
48:07No ball.
48:12Card
48:13applauds the no
48:13ball.
48:15Maybe they think
48:16it's the end of the
48:16over.
48:16There's one more
48:17ball to go.
48:17one of the best
48:27overs.
48:27Andre Caddick's
48:28bold in test match
48:29cricket.
48:31Wicket dot.
48:32Wicket wicket.
48:35Dot no ball.
48:36Come on.
48:37Finish it off
48:38with a W on the
48:39end.
48:41Oh he has.
48:42He has.
48:44What a wonderful
48:45swinging Yorker
48:46that was.
48:47That would have
48:47been too good
48:49for a 1,
48:502,
48:503,
