There are clouds but it is bright. Will that make it easier for Royals or will Antigua's bowlers be able to find swing, and more importantly grip and turn? Find out with Deiva?

Obed McCoy: My start was to bowl straight, but I strayed a bit. Went around the wicket, didn't work out. I was telling myself it's how you finish. Wind plays to your advantage, you try to have batters hit against it even if it has them hit leg side. All depends on the situation. Running end to end is about pacing yourself, when you're in there it's easier. Pitch is good, once you apply yourself you will be able to score. Batters have to be smart and remember the wind will be at play. Antigua scrape to 145, which is their lowest total so far this season.

11:44pm: Falcons restricted to 145, thanks mainly to McCoy's three-for. Holder was excellent at the death, the spinners - Theekshana and Wellalage - were good as well. Antigua were in early trouble, lost two in the powerplay and two more right after. Jewel Andrew counterattacked nicely and was carrying his team forward with the lower order. But McCoy got him with a dipping slower ball, which might've cost Antigua 10-15 runs.

Holder to Walsh, OUT, Holder goes into the pitch, keeps it wide and uses the wind to get rid of Walsh. Was on a length, an aerial square cut went off the upper-half of the bat and Naveen, running in, took it easily. Replay shows it was off the toe of the bat

Naveen-ul-Haq to Walsh, FOUR, Walsh goes across, lets it on the low full toss and scoops it over short fine leg. Great skill and use of pace. Not too bad a ball from Naveen, who tried to angle it away through fourth

JJ: "Soo... whos going out for miller?" He, like some of his SA team-mates, will be attending the CSA awards back home, later this week. Sorry, misread that earlier. Still has to Wellalage, no?

McCoy to Walsh, 1 run, Stolen single to over. Fielder wasn't far from the bowler but the ball bisected them, was coming slowly. Walsh took off despite it being a risky run. Ball was under-armed at Primus' end, he made it easy. No direct hit. Walsh was cramped for room by the length ball there, and he bunted it with a cross bat

Theekshana to Allen, OUT, Allen can't clear deep square leg despite hitting with the wind. 98ks, bashed into the pitch around the six-metre mark. Allen was deep in the crease, got square-on and had a huge swipe. Big back-lift, long follow-through, neither enough. First time he's been dismissed this comp. Billings grimacing in the dugout

Theekshana to Andrew, 1 run, Leading edge, but it falls safely in the infield around backward point. Shortish length for a spinner but at 100ks that was like a cutter bowler, was spinning away and Andrew closed the face too early on the flick
