11.47 am: Fantastic comeback from Trinbago led by their captain. Zouks were 115 for 3 in 13.5 overs but finished on 154 all out in 19.1. Ended up at least 10 runs short of what they looked like getting, but they still have a fairly competitive total, though the momentum is all with TKR heading into the break. Pollard's got 4/30 - could have had five too. His cutters and pace-off-the-ball strategy worked a treat. Trinbago will be chuffed that they have managed this bowling performance without Sunil Narine or Dwayne Bravo bowling. They'll fancy themselves to chase it down too, and PDP will be back for the start of the second innings.

Ali Khan to Zahir Khan, OUT, and he's yorked him on the leg stump first ball! Swift end to Zouks innings. Tailed into him and that's too good for a No.11, who is late on it and with feet rooted to the crease. Bat is coming down even as the stumps are cartwheeling away.

Pollard to Kuggeleijn, 1 run, OUT, mix up results in a run out. Looks like very poor communication between the two batsmen. This was a fuller one that was tapped to wide long-off. There was no second there. They even had a slight collision while going for the second but Williams was never going to make it back. Pollard collected the throw and broke the stumps quickly

Pollard to Williams, 3 runs, just out of reach of Pierre running to his left at deep midwicket Another slower one, that Williams looked to flick, but too early. Hung in the air for a long time and Pierre put in a dive but it just eluded him. Pollard not that happy, he thought Pierre should have been quicker off the blocks.

Pollard to Kuggeleijn, 1 run, another slower off-cutter, on a length outside off, he has to wait for it and push it to extra cover
18.3
W
Pollard to Najibullah Zadran, OUT, Pollard has four! Pace off again, dug in back of a length on leg stump. Zadran moved inside the line to pull but the lack of pace meant he only managed to pop it up rather than slam it. Sails straight into the hands of deep square leg

Pollard to Najibullah Zadran, 1 wide, loses his radar, short ball well down legside so it'll be a wide

Pollard to Najibullah Zadran, no run, another excellent slower ball, dug in back of a length outside off, he's too early into the pull and doesn't connct
18.1
W
Pollard to Glen, OUT, and he gets another one! Who needs Bravo eh? Slower ball, off-cutter (leg-cutter to the leftie). Full on the stumps and Glen wanted to blast this over midwicket, went for the big swing across the line, got an outside edge that looped to point.

J Glen c Simmons b Pollard 9 (7b 1x4 0x6) SR: 128.57

Pollard to complete his quota.

Sooryanarayanan: "Bravo must have picked up a niggle midway during this game. With Narine also out, surely TKR wouldn't have risked playing the lone seamer in Ali Khan and Pollard if Bravo wasn't fit to bowl right? Besides, he's barely faced 10 odd deliveries all tournament."

Sikandar Raza to Glen, 1 run, quicker one darting into him, jabs his bat down in time to nudge it square
17.5
1
Sikandar Raza to Najibullah Zadran, 1 run, too short outside off spinning away, throws his bat at it and gets a thick edge that bounces to third man
17.4
1
Sikandar Raza to Glen, 1 run, flatter and fuller, punched straight and over the bowler, but the long-on is fairly straight and can run to his right to cut it off
17.3
2
Sikandar Raza to Glen, 2 runs, swept hard again, to midwicket
17.2

Sikandar Raza to Glen, FOUR, connects with the slog sweep that time. The fuller length allowed him to free his arms and he found the placement right at wide long-on

Sikandar Raza to Glen, no run, brings the line closer to off and gets it dipping and spinning away from the left-hander, who misses the slog sweep

Sikandar Raza to Glen, 1 wide, length ball, goes straight on, well wide of off. Too wide actually

Lots of questions coming in about Bravo. I can only assume he has a niggle. Otherwise he'd have been bowling.

Hosein to Glen, 1 run, quicker one, dug in a bit short, he goes back and pulls backward of square.

Javelle Glen in now.

Hosein to Sammy, OUT, plumb in front. Quicker one from around the wicket, goes with the angle. Sammy is prodding at it uncertainly, the ball beats bat and hits him on the pad when he's half forward. Easy decision. Despite that monster six he hit, Sammy never looked comfortable at the crease

DJG Sammy lbw b Hosein 8 (8b 0x4 1x6) SR: 100.00

Hosein to Najibullah Zadran, 1 leg bye, gets the line much closer to off, Zadran went down for a slog sweep but doesn't connect. The ball dips and bounces into his arm. A bit painful but they realise there is a leg-bye on offer with the ball having rolled away fine
16.3

Hosein to Najibullah Zadran, SIX, slammed. Gimme ball but what a shot that was. Too short and wide outside off, sat up asking to be hit and Zadran slaps it over extra cover. Incredible timing and power on that

over the wicket now.

16.2
1
Hosein to Sammy, 1 run, dropped by Ali Khan at midwicket. Easy enough chance. He indicates the sun came into his eyes. Sammy played the shot of a man not in form, backing away but cramped for room with the bowler following him and essaying an ungainly pull that came off high on the bat. Ali had a lot of time to settle under it but never looked confident.
