12.50pm So, a solid team bowling (and fielding) effort sees Falcons restrict Patriots to 133. None of the Patriots batters really got going. And every time it looked like one was gathering momentum, Falcons would get his wicket. Seales was excellent in the powerplay, Irshad was excellent throughout. Shakib got a burst of three wickets in the middle overs just when Mayers and Holder threatened to accelerate. Holder was their hope for a good finish, but he was not given an awful lot of strike, which led to the wicket eventually. How will Falcons go in their chase? Join us again in around 15 minutes to find out.

Shakib: "Very happy that I could reach this milestone. It's been a long career so I'm happy with what I've achieved. I haven't bowled a lot so I was a little nervous, but it's about contributing to the team. I think it's a tricky wicket to bat on. It will be important to keep wickets in hand going into the last ten overs. If we haven't lost more than three wickets by then we should be able to chase it down."
