Technical issues from the broadcaster means we can't quite have the captains' quotes. But thanks for joining us for the day's first match, as SLK move on the top of the points table with the win over TKR. Barbados Royals and St Kitts face off later today, and until then, it's goodbye and good night from us!

Sikandar Raza is the Player of the Match for his all-round show: "It was good. With the bat, I thought we were 15 short. I found tough to get going... We've got a very good attack, especially here with five spinners. It's a luxury for Faf to call on any spinner. To have a team with five or six is allrounders, you always have somebody to call upon."

1.23pm A batting line-up where everyone wanted a piece of everything falls well short of their target. Only four of TKR's top-eight batters get into double figures - out of Guptill, Pooran, Pollard, Bravo and Russell, only Pollard and Russell scored more than nine - as TKR's counterattacking approach backfired on a slow, turning pitch. Four wickets for left-arm spinner Pierre, and two each for spinners Chase and Raza quite prove the point. Hang around for the presentation.

Pierre to Ali Khan, OUT, hit on his back leg in front of the stumps, and it's given leg before wicket. But for what it's worth, Khan reviews. It's a fair delivery - in fact, his leg is well behind the crease - as he bowled on a shortish length on middle and leg. There was a bit of turn away, as Khan missed his attempted sweep to be hit on his back thigh. No bat involved there, and replays show that would have been umpire's call on clipping the top of leg stump

Ali Khan lbw b Pierre 6 (8m 5b 1x4 0x6) SR: 120.00

Adarsh: "With their batting line-up, TKR should have been invincible. Hopefully, some common sense prevails over recklessness in the upcoming matches"

Chase to Ali Khan, 2 runs, the deep midwicket over-runs to his right, before stretching his left hand out to stop that pull on the bounce. Short ball from Chase, and swung away by Carmichael

Chase to Ali Khan, FOUR, crashed over the bowler's hands, and then there's a run-out chance missed at the bowler's end. Khan was way out to try a second, but the throw was wide. Anyway, it was a good length ball outside off, and the ball went bang down the ground, with both the long-off and long-on fielders converging and trying to stop. There's a check for the boundary, as du Plessis from long-off tumbled while trying to push the ball back. And it's given four after seeing multiple replays

Chase to Narine, OUT, pulled to du Plessis at long-on! He tumbles while collecting the ball low to his left. The moment Narine pulled this short ball from around the wicket, he knew he was gone. He pulled hard and flat, but didn't get it far enough. TKR are all but done here

Pierre to Hosein, OUT, return catch by Pierre! I think the slowness of the pitch played a role there. Pierre bowled it short from around the wicket, and again the ball went on with the angle to end just outside off. Hosein punched it back, but ended up spooning the ball over the bowler's head, as Pierre lifted his hands to grab that

Pierre to Russell, OUT, taken by the deep backward square fielder running and sliding forward! Russell went for the pull at this short ball on off, but ended up getting a top edge. Pierre got good bounce off the pitch - the ball also seemed to have come on slower than Russell expected - as Hatzoglou rushed down to grab a very good catch

AD Russell c Hatzoglou b Pierre 10 (12m 11b 0x4 1x6) SR: 90.90
