Scorer: K Vairavan | Commentator: Shashwat Kumar

11:20pm That will be all from us for tonight. A bit of a damp squib at the end (quite literally), especially given the contest was simmering beautifully. de Kock's knock set it up for the Royals and Primus' 14-ball over, considering the margin of victory in the end, also proved pivotal and detrimental from a Falcons POV. We hope you enjoyed our coverage. We will be back tomorrow with more CPL action and would love your company again. Until then, this is goodbye from Shashwat, Sudeep and Vairavan. Take care, folks!

ICYMI: Hassan Khan replaces Fakhar Zaman at Falcons

11:16pm It is official, folks. No further play will be possible because, well, it is absolutely hammering down. The Barbados Royals have won by 10 runs (DLS method) and make it three wins out of three.

As we wait for the rain to clear, here is a nice, little quiz put together by Sreshth Shah and Yash Jha, and this should keep you engrossed.

10:53pm The rain has returned and it looks heavier than before. The players are going off again... The Royals are 10 runs ahead on DLS at this stage. And it is absolutely bucketing down now. The crowd are running for shelter and this could be a longer delay than the previous one.

Mohammad Amir to Miller, 1 run, dug into the track outside off. Does not bounce up as high as Miller expects, although he still manages to pull it to deep mid wicket

Mohammad Amir to Powell, 1 run, back of a length outside off. Punched to long off
14.1
1
Mohammad Amir to Miller, 1 run, back of a length just outside off. Miller opens his bat face and runs it down to short third

10:47pm The players are making their way onto the field. To reiterate, the Royals need 53 off 36. Andrew has the gloves, as opposed to Billings. Amir to bowl - here we go again!

10:39pm Good news, folks. The covers are coming off now, hinting that we may not be very far away from a restart.

10:23pm The rain continues to play hide and seek. The covers had come off momentarily but the rain has returned, meaning that the covers have made an appearance too.

"Re Primus' mega-over, I think you were expressing the feelings of many of us when you accidentally typed, 'Still two overs left in this over.'" -- Have a feeling a lot of us weren't very far off the mark, David...

10:11pm Uh-oh, the umpires have had enough of the rain and they have asked the ground staff to bring on the covers. The players are walking off too and there is not a lot of breeze around, which may not be a good thing. For what it is worth, the Royals are currently well ahead of the DLS par score - 12 runs to be precise. So, if the match does not resume, they will pick up their third win on the trot.

END OF OVER:
14 | 13 Runs | BR: 124/3 (53 runs required from 36 balls, RR: 8.85, RRR: 8.83)

James to Miller, FOUR, four more! Another proper drag-down outside leg. Miller waits in his crease and smacks it past short fine leg. A buffet ball really!

James to Miller, no run, full just outside off. Miller comes forward and plays it back to the bowler

A few spots of rain and the ground staff is waiting to spring into action
