- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 Lofts down the ground, can't clear mid-off! Luqman celebrates jubilantly. It was full, following Stirling as he was making room, he tried to launch it with a full-fledged off drive but got it off the bottom. Easy catch for the skipper. The ball looked to have moved late which took it away from the middle 5/17.6 LBW given, reviewed by Clarke Looked to be in front of all three. It was on a length and Clarke went back. Tried to flick it, missed. Three reds. Clarke's excellent 52 ends. Was given out very quickly. 69/34.6 Anticlimax as Luqman nicks off Dhananjaya! He roars in delight. Got it on a length in the channel, de Silva wanted to steer it fine. He was squared up, the bat turned too much and he could only edge it to the keeper. Twenty-run over ends with a wicket. 40/29.2 Beaten on the reverse, hits pad and given LBW. Zampa celebrates with a raised hand. Was a full ball that pitched just outside off and straightened. King missed it and was in front of all three. 79/412.5 beautifully done by Dickwella. Lovely delivery too. Goes round-arm, fires a flat length ball in, angling in towards the stumps. Asalanka looks to drive inside-out, but plays down the wrong line as the ball turns more than he expects to beat his outside edge. Lifts his back foot momentarily, and Dickwella has the bails off in a flash. Asalanka was done for length too, which is why he reached for the ball and ended up overbalancing 94/611.4 bowled him, another batter plays back fatally to a Zampa skidder. Just keeps going with the angle towards leg stump, and Farid, making room to try and cut, is cut in half instead. Played the flat trajectory and misread the length completely 90/515.1 And he strikes first ball! Kind of like some of the Zampa wickets, a batter plays back to a skidder. Straightens off the deck to hit the top of middle as Hosein, feet stuck in cement, misses a desperate whip across the line 114/717.5 got him, big wicket at the end of an expensive over. Short, rising delivery in the corridor, and Russell, looking to uppercut, slashes hard and gets a thick edge that a jumping Dickwella catches over his head 142/818.2 wow, falls in no-man's land, but he's run out anyway. Back of a length, straightens outside off, and Narine top-edges his pull high in the air. Lands in the vacant midwicket region. Looks to sneak a second run to retain the strike, but he's not quick enough to beat the throw to the keeper 143/9Extras15 (lb 2, w 13)TOTAL149/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.45)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Paul Stirling, 1.3 ov), 2-40 (Dhananjaya de Silva, 4.6 ov), 3-69 (Joe Clarke, 7.6 ov), 4-79 (Brandon King, 9.2 ov), 5-90 (Zawar Farid, 11.4 ov), 6-94 (Charith Asalanka, 12.5 ov), 7-114 (Akeal Hosein, 15.1 ov), 8-142 (Andre Russell, 17.5 ov), 9-143 (Sunil Narine, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.5 slower bouncer angling across the left-hander while still cramping him for room. Looks to lean back and ramp him, but he only manages to connect with the bat sticker. Ball pops gently to the keeper and Munsey has to walk back after a terrific debut innings 144/36.1 Starts perfectly. Excellent catch by Dhananjaya running in from deep-backward square. Ran in a few metres, slid onto his back to soften the landing and maintained his balance. Hosein has finger on lips in celebration. Tried to sweep the flatter ball that was fullish on leg, couldn't complete his shot. 59/113.3 bowled him. Now he takes him out with a leg-stump yorker. Looks to make room and he goes a little early. The bowler fires in a blockhole ball that he can't get his bat down in time for, looked to stab it to point but couldn't connect 121/2Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL150/3 (17.4 Overs, RR: 8.49)Fall of wickets: 1-59 (Niroshan Dickwella, 6.1 ov), 2-121 (Dasun Shanaka, 13.3 ov), 3-144 (George Munsey, 15.5 ov)
