- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.3 there is the offcutter and it immediately works. A full delivery outside off, Charles' mighty heave results in a thick inside edge - due to just the tiniest amount of cut on the ball - and uproots a stump. Very ugly stroke. 28/14.6 edged and gone. A double-wicket over. Back of a length delivery on off, does it seam away? Does it do just enough? Does Watson play inside the line? Either way, there is a thin edge and Sangakkara takes a routine catch. 30/215.3 and he holes out. A short slow delivery on middle, pulled in the air and finds deep midwicket. Interesting that he found the only person there despite timing that very well. Poor placement I suppose. And he couldn't quite get underneath that enough to get that elevation 133/316.3 124 kph, that's fantastic planning. Full and very wide outside off, Sammy just leans on his carved cut. That would normally fly over point for four, but the point fielder is deep. Finds him to perfection. Terrific from Sangakkara and Sami 138/417.2 chopped on! Full and very wide outside off, Mayers chooses a terrible option. Looks to drag that over long-on, but the ball takes the inside edge and hits the stumps. Finding a gap in the off side would have been a better option 141/518.3 Simmons takes it. Another offcutter outside off, Ryder stays in his crease, tries to go over cover, but is through the shot too early. The ball goes straight up. Simmons tracks back from mid-off, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a calm catch 152/618.6 another wicket. The slow dipping slower ball again. It has so much time in the air that Shillingford lines up a heave over midwicket, misses his swing, the ball hits the boot and hits off stump. A fine comeback from the Tallawahs 155/7Extras7 (lb 3, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL173/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.65)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Johnson Charles, 4.3 ov), 2-30 (Shane Watson, 4.6 ov), 3-133 (Marlon Samuels, 15.3 ov), 4-138 (Daren Sammy, 16.3 ov), 5-141 (Kyle Mayers, 17.2 ov), 6-152 (Jesse Ryder, 18.3 ov), 7-155 (Shane Shillingford, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.5 full on off stump, true legspin on offer here. The ball rips away from Simmons after pitch and he's reaching for the uppish drive. Takes the toe end of his bat and it's in the air. Oh dear, what have you done? It's straight to Darren Sammy at cover. He juggles momentarily before completing the catch. Simmons was itching to smash the legspinner to all parts. Pays his price 52/25.6 and there's the breakthrough! It's on a good length on off stump and Phillips looks for his release shot. Rocks back and pulls it on the leg side but this time it doesn't have the elevation nor power to clear the ropes. It's going straight down deep mid-wicket's throat. Taken calmly. Shillingford rewarded for some tight bowling 43/19.3 full and wide outside off, Sangakkara tries to slog that from outside off towards deep mid-wicket. Sangakkara has been trapped. It's mistimed and the shot doesn't have the muscle. Holes out at cow corner. That's a biggie 70/312.2 slower, full and just outside off, dug away towards cover and they call for a single. The single is taken and they're looking for a second. Oh no, big mix-up! There was never a two for that shot and Timil Patel is electrifying in his pickup and throw. The keeper takes his time before whipping the bails off. He's furious 93/417.1 Cometh the hour and cometh the man! Full and on middle stump, that's an unplayable yorker. Foo shuffles to make room and that's his undoing. The ball crashes into the base of middle stump. 134/5Extras10 (lb 2, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL179/5 (19.4 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-43 (Glenn Phillips, 5.6 ov), 2-52 (Lendl Simmons, 6.5 ov), 3-70 (Kumar Sangakkara, 9.3 ov), 4-93 (Rovman Powell, 12.2 ov), 5-134 (Jonathan Foo, 17.1 ov)
