- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 stumped! Beautifully bowled. King jumped down and leg side early, Connolly dragged the length back and gets some spin and bounce to beat King as he tries to launch while nowhere near the pitch. Easy stumping for Inglis 32/115.3 gone!! Pace off works for Owen, who has his first T20I wicket. He bowls one with a scrambled seam, and on a fullish length on a wide line outside off. Hope looks to loft this with the open face of the bat, but can only balloon that to point. JFM moves a few steps back, and takes the ball with a reverse cup 159/312.3 taken at long-on!! Maxwell is a few steps inside the boundary rather than being right on the edge of it, and the ball lands in his lap. That ends a 91-run stand dominated by Chase, who slams 60 in quick time. This ball was on the fuller side of a length, and seemed to have stopped on the pitch before arriving in the corridor just outside off. Chase looked to heave across the line, but only ended up skying it 123/219.3 you wouldn't have wanted any shorter man in this case. Green, as tall as a mountain, takes a step in the air to take the ball with a reverse cup at long-off. Shorter side of a length from Ellis, who angled it across, and bowled outside off. Hetmyer went thrashing at it with a flat bat, but couldn't get enough power to beat perhaps the tallest man in Jamaica at the moment 186/816.1 and he strikes first ball back into the attack! Maxwell, from long-on, moves a few steps to his left to grab the ball. Abbott bowled it fullish and around off, and Powell went lofting down the ground - almost giving the impression that he was looking to use the pace on the ball. But despite the short boundary, it wasn't enough to get him four or six 166/418.3 well take by Green! Given his height, he did well to go low while also moving his right from long-off. Dwarshuis bowled this fuller than the previous ball, although the line remained similar - around off or just outside off. Russell looked to loft down the ground, but the ball didn't travel 184/518.4 gone first ball!! Rutherford falls to leave Dwarshuis on a hat-trick. Short delivery getting big on Rutherford just outside off. He goes hooking, but gets it off top half of the bat bat. Abbott, the man at deep-backward square leg, rushes forward to complete the catch 184/618.6 not a hat-trick, but Dwarshuis still gets three in the over. Holder gifts Maxwell a catch at long-on, as the latter takes it with a reverse cup. Slower ball on a length around middle, and Holder almost casually chips it down the ground to also depart without scoring 184/7Extras6 (lb 3, w 3)TOTAL189/8 (20 Overs, RR: 9.45)Did not bat: AJ HoseinFall of wickets: 1-32 (Brandon King, 3.2 ov), 2-123 (Roston Chase, 12.3 ov), 3-159 (Shai Hope, 15.3 ov), 4-166 (Rovman Powell, 16.1 ov), 5-184 (Andre Russell, 18.3 ov), 6-184 (Sherfane Rutherford, 18.4 ov), 7-184 (Jason Holder, 18.6 ov), 8-186 (Shimron Hetmyer, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 an appeal for caught behind! Given not out. They review. Good length, angled in and nipping in further, he tries to whip over midwicket and there's a little spike on ultraedge as the ball passes the bat! Good review. There was a little sound. It also brushed the back leg on the way through to Hope but they were confident there was a nick and were proven right 46/21.6 toed to mid-off! 132kph, banged in wide of off, he stands tall trying to slap down the ground and toes it straight to mid-off. Another failure for JFM 12/16.1 top edge taken at short fine! Huge wicket this! Drifting outside leg, the sweep was on but some extra bounce causes Inglis to get a top edge and it flies high to short fine, Alzarri cruises back and takes the catch well 64/314.6 skied to long-on! Motie bowls it short, and on the stumps, but the ball seemed to have stopped on the pitch before coming on to Green. The latter transfered his weight back before looking to swat-pull, but ended up sending it only high and straight up into the sky. Holder did well to keep his eyes on the ball 158/58.2 straight up to cover! Awful shot. 87kph, straight and tighter to the body, Maxwell tries to go again but is cramped, he slices it off the toe of the bat straight up and it's an easy catch at cover 78/416.3 taken at long-on! Owen's six-laden innings on debut ends. Slower ball from Joseph, who went short this time. Owen looked to repeat the shot from the last ball, but failed to clear the boundary this time 175/617.3 gone!! Edged behind to Hope! Is there life in the game yet? The crowd at Sabina Park certainly thinks so. Slower delivery from Holder, who bowls this on a short of a length on off or thereabouts. The ball turns away after pitching, and Connolly, who looked to play a shot somewhere between a swat and a slap, ended up toe-edging it to Hope 181/7Extras11 (b 4, lb 3, w 4)TOTAL190/7 (18.5 Overs, RR: 10.08)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 1.6 ov), 2-46 (Mitchell Marsh, 5.1 ov), 3-64 (Josh Inglis, 6.1 ov), 4-78 (Glenn Maxwell, 8.2 ov), 5-158 (Cameron Green, 14.6 ov), 6-175 (Mitchell Owen, 16.3 ov), 7-181 (Cooper Connolly, 17.3 ov)
