8.41pm So, as it stands, Tallawahs need 162 to win CPL 2022. After winning the toss and opting to bat, Royals ran away to a fast start, thanks to Mayers and Cornwall. JT's spinners Imad and Allen then slowed them down with their tight lines and lengths. Azam Khan then made a half-century to drag BR past 160. In the injury-enforced absence of Amir, Gordon stepped up with 3 for 33 in his four overs. Here is Gordon: I was backing away, appealing and fell on the ground. I saw in the air and I had confidence in King. Once it goes up I celebrate because I have confidence in my team. PDP will be with you for Tallawahs' chase. Cheers
