AlistairDiamond: "Catches win matches! They've dropped a couple but have started holding on to them now. The Tridents need to take all theirs and throw down the stumps when required to win this. "

Neel: "Smith coming in at number 6?? One of the top batsmen in the world? What madness..."

5:33pm A tame end to an innings that began tamely in the first place. Dwayne Smith and Martin Guptill are known for more explosive things than they put up today as an opening stand. Couldn't size up the pitch, didn't run too well, and their stand didn't even tick along at run-a-ball. It took a promotion, that of Holder, for the impetus in this innings. And it worked, as far as the Tridents captain was concerned. Three massive sixes from him on a slow pitch as he got his first CPL fifty. But with Smith batting at No. 6 and only 147 on the board, they'll feel like their tinkering of the batting order was not a success. Devcich, Cutting and Cottrell were the stars with the ball, going for 64 off their 12 overs and taking four wickets.

Cutting to Chase, 1 leg bye, length ball hooping in at leg stump. Looks to whip it but it deflects into the leg side off his pad

Cutting to Nurse, 3 runs, slower ball, short of a length outside off. Swings across the line and gets a top edge over the keeper. Devon Thomas sprints backwards and gets there before Chris Gayle who is ambling from short third man. Pulls it in with a slide but they pick up three

Cutting to Pooran, OUT, length outside off, looks to go inside-out over extra. Ends up slicing it over him and Cooper comes under it from long-off and takes another one with impeccable technique

Cutting to Pooran, 1 wide, full and wide outside off, looks to slice that and is beaten. Belated call of wide from the umpire. That seemed to have just sneaked past the wide marker

Cottrell to SPD Smith, OUT, taken at short third man. Out comes the salute from Cottrell. Rolls the slower ball at a length outside off, Smith gets into the off side to try and scoop one over short fine. Gets a top edge that's taken easily

Devcich to SPD Smith, no run, cops this one on the pad. Walks into the off side expecting a quicker one to run past short fine with the angle. But Devich bowls the orthodox ball, at a length and slow outside off

Devcich to SPD Smith, FOUR, past point. Smith's come in at No. 6 and brought out the reverse sweep first ball. It's a full toss on off stump, switches his stance early and swipes it off the inside half

1lb
Devcich to Pooran, 1 leg bye, full and onto the pads. Can't get bat as he looks to flick it. No appeal from the bowler, that has pitched outside leg

Hat-trick ball for Devcich. He sure didn't dream of this before coming in today. Goes around to Pooran.

17.3
W
Devcich to Holder, OUT, taken at deep midwicket. Devich has two in two. For a part-timer, he's gotten the tough overs today. First in the Powerplay and now to Holder. It's a seam up delivery pushed through at a length on leg stump. Holder stands tall and looks to launch it over deep midwicket. Gets too much elevation and is caught well inside the boundary

JO Holder c Lewis b Devcich 54 (35b 4x4 3x6) SR: 154.28

Pooran comes in

17.2
W
Devcich to Hope, OUT, taken at long-on. Cooper makes the ground to his left and takes it expertly. It's a length ball on middle, he steps out and swings through the line. Not decent enough connection on that to take it over the boundary. Hope's struggle comes to an end

SD Hope c Cooper b Devcich 26 (24b 1x4 2x6) SR: 108.33
