8:35pm A bad day at the office with the bat for the Kings. They never got going and once they lost four in the powerplay, they were always playing catch-up. Forde got a few shots away and that is perhaps why they were able to make it into three figures but it is not an innings they will look back on fondly. The Warriors, meanwhile, produced another complete bowling display, with everyone chipping in. Their spinners were superb again and they will now be confident of chasing this down.

Motie to Joseph, OUT, Motie finishes with three and the St Lucia Kings are bundled out for 100! Back of a length, pushed into middle and leg. Skids off the surface, cramps Joseph for room and hurries him into his pull. He has a swipe at it anyway but splices it badly, making it a very easy catch for long on!

Motie to Noor Ahmad, OUT, another one bites the dust! Sizzled into the blockhole on middle and leg. Noor does not quite read the length and is late in bringing his bat down. The ball sneaks under the bottom of the bat and then crashes into the stumps. The Kings are nine down now!

Imran Tahir to Seifert, OUT, massive appeal, not given. Reviewed by Tahir! Darted in very full on middle and leg. Seifert seems to york himself and then gets some bat on it. The question, though, is whether the ball hit the boot first. If that is the case, this could be close. Well, UltraEdge confirms first impact is on the left boot. All eyes on Ball Tracking now. Ball Tracking comes up and…it reckons the ball would have smashed into middle stump. Seifert has to go!

Motie to Forde, OUT, Motie gets Forde! Flighted up full on leg stump, tempting Forde to go downtown. He takes up the invitation but cannot quite latch onto it. Perhaps the ball stuck in the surface just enough and that caused the miscue, allowing Sinclair to settle under it at long off and take the catch. Another big moment in the game!
