11.42 am Tridents looked in trouble there for awhile before Anderson got humming in the final five overs. 151 has been more than enough for teams to defend at Brian Lara Academy, but it's the first match at Queen's Park Oval on a new wicket. Can the Patriots haul the total down to dig themselves out of the CPL cellar and notch their first win? Join us shortly for the chase!

Khan to Reifer, no run, another googly landing short and wide outside off, Reifer shuffles across once more to try to get in line but fans over the top of it. Imran escapes relatively unscathed in the final over.

Khan to Reifer, FOUR, poor misfield turns one into four. Short googly bowled wide outside off, Reifer shuffles well across to drag this wide of long-on, who runs left and dives forward trying for a highlight reel catch but it bounces well short and goes underneath his body to the rope.

Khan to Rashid Khan, OUT, Imran wins the battle of the leggies! Good length ball on fifth stump, Rashid charges, doesn't get anywhere close to the pitch and splices a slog trying to clear mid-off, only carries 15 yards inside the rope where a safe catch is taken jogging in stride at rib height.

0
Khan to Reifer, no run, bowled short and very wide outside off, way outside the guidelines as a cut is missed but umpire Brathwaite doesn't call a wide, feeling that Reifer shuffled well outside off to be able to play it.

Khan to Rashid Khan, 1 run, good length ball on off stump, goes across to slam over long-on but scuffs it along the ground to the boundary rider.
The legspinner Imran Khan being utilized for the 20th. Possible miscalculation here by Emrit. Will the Tridents make them pay?

Emrit to Reifer, no run, wide yorker is spot on this time with the length and Reifer can't get it away once again.

0
Emrit to Reifer, no run, another wide yorker, was really a shin high full toss on sixth stump and Reifer plays over the top of it missing out on some free runs.
18.4
W
Emrit to Anderson, OUT, thigh high full toss wide outside off, would've been wide if he left it alone but it was too meaty on height for Anderson to leave along, can't quite reach it cleanly though and it comes off the toe of the bat floating gently to Tanvir at extra cover, who reaches forward for a simple catch on the ring at knee height.

Emrit to Rashid Khan, 1 leg bye, yorker into the legs, Rashid misses a flick off the pads, hit outside leg stump and a stifled lbw shout as the ball skittles through fine leg.
18.2
1
Emrit to Anderson, 1 run, another attempted wide yorker is an ankle high full toss on sixth stump, Anderson can't get under it enough to clear the ropes and it plops well short of long-off. They settle for a long single.

Emrit to Anderson, 1 wide, wide yorker, this time he gets the length spot on but the line is way off, beyond the guidelines. Bonus ball to come.

Emrit to Anderson, SIX, attempted yorker misfired as a shin high full toss on off, flicked high and deep over cow corner. Popeye forearms being used to the max by Anderson.
Emrit back to bowl his last. Starts around the stumps to Anderson.

Joseph to Rashid Khan, no run, offcutter banged in very short on sixth stump, Rashid charges and flails to send a stiff breeze across Queen's Park Savannah. He is human after all.

Joseph to Anderson, 1 run, shin high full toss on off stump, driven flat along the ground to long-off.
Here he is everyone! Rashid enters off strike at No. 7. Depending on who is watching, that is either 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 spots too late down the order.
17.4
W
Joseph to Nurse, OUT, goes for the offcutter on a fullish length on sixth stump, Nurse tries to drag this over midwicket but doesn't time it well at all. Lewis reads it well off the bat and charges forward 15 yards from deep midwicket, he dives forward as the ball is dying on him and takes a sharp catch at shin height going full extension with the dive.

Joseph to Nurse, SIX, full length ball on leg stump, Nurse backs away to crunch this high and deep over mid-off. Joseph wanted yorker again but wasn't nearly full enough.

Joseph to Anderson, 1 run, wide yorker driven out to long-off.
Joseph to bowl out in the 18th. Getting lots of advice right now from his teammates. "Back yourself. Bowl in the right areas." You know, just how any cliched on-field conversation goes.

Sohail Tanvir to Nurse, FOUR, charges Tanvir to meet a full length ball on fourth stump and drives this imperiously wide of mid-off, racing away to the rope.
Around the stumps now to Nurse.

Sohail Tanvir to Anderson, 3 runs, fullish length ball on sixth stump, skews a drive high over extra cover. Nobody fielding there and nobody in any rush to chase after it. Should've been a two as the ball plops dead 15 yards inside the rope but lazy chase to collect results in a third.

Sohail Tanvir to Anderson, SIX, length ball on fifth stump, vintage Anderson creams this on the up over cow corner 30 yards over the rope. Roars from the Tridents dugout.

Sohail Tanvir to Nurse, 1 leg bye, good length ball but on the legs again, tries to flick this past short fine leg but can't get bat on it, leg bye balloons behind square.
