9.10pm The Patriots finish on 110, a score that in hindsight could've been much worse had Da Silva and Nortje not contributed with their contributions. Cornwall, with his five-wicket haul, was the star of the Royals bowling, but there were strong contributions from everyone even if they didn't have the wickets to show for it. Be back for the chase shortly.
Anvith: "I think apart from Odean Smith, all the batsmen got out slogging the ball.
