7.48pm The Stars finish with an above-par 173 after a slow start, thanks largely due to fifties from Andre Fletcher and Marlon Samuels, who completely changed this game in the middle overs. These are short boundaries, and even though the cutters are working, the Stars will need some clinical bowling to defend this total. Sreshth will be back after the break.

Williams to Shillingford, OUT, another wicket. The slow dipping slower ball again. It has so much time in the air that Shillingford lines up a heave over midwicket, misses his swing, the ball hits the boot and hits off stump. A fine comeback from the Tallawahs

Williams to Fletcher, 1 run, through his heave far too early. A slower ball outside off, Fletcher's big swing results in a toe-end towards gully

Williams to Fletcher, 2 runs, short and wide, smashed to deep cover. The fielder takes it easy - Foo, and allows Fletcher to come back for two. Not good fielding. Sangakkara got the ball back on the stumps, but Fletcher is comfortable

Williams to Ryder, OUT, Simmons takes it. Another offcutter outside off, Ryder stays in his crease, tries to go over cover, but is through the shot too early. The ball goes straight up. Simmons tracks back from mid-off, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a calm catch

Powell to Ryder, FOUR, lovely hit. Full and wide again, rather predictable. Ryder drills this over cover. Wonderful option - what Mayers should have been looking for

Powell to Mayers, OUT, chopped on! Full and very wide outside off, Mayers chooses a terrible option. Looks to drag that over long-on, but the ball takes the inside edge and hits the stumps. Finding a gap in the off side would have been a better option

Mayers. Still no Ryder.

Mohammad Sami to Sammy, OUT, 124 kph, that's fantastic planning. Full and very wide outside off, Sammy just leans on his carved cut. That would normally fly over point for four, but the point fielder is deep. Finds him to perfection. Terrific from Sangakkara and Sami
