- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.4 what a catch! Evin Lewis has pulled off an AB de Viiliers style one-handed pluck at the midwicket boundary. Slower ball at a length on off stump, Smith drags it across with a slog. It's just about to clear Lewis at midwicket, but he times the jump perfectly, grabs it with his right hand high over his shoulder, and then nails the landing with a strong right ankle that is inches from the boundary. World class. 39/27.3 superb from Devich. Strides in from point, picks up on the bounce and shatters the stumps at the non-striker's end as Guptill is stranded halfway down the pitch. Smith stabs a ball to point and sets off down the pitch before stopping short after two strides. Guptill responds to it by sprinting full tilt. Smith changes his mind, Guptill has no chance 39/117.3 taken at deep midwicket. Devich has two in two. For a part-timer, he's gotten the tough overs today. First in the Powerplay and now to Holder. It's a seam up delivery pushed through at a length on leg stump. Holder stands tall and looks to launch it over deep midwicket. Gets too much elevation and is caught well inside the boundary 126/417.2 taken at long-on. Cooper makes the ground to his left and takes it expertly. It's a length ball on middle, he steps out and swings through the line. Not decent enough connection on that to take it over the boundary. Hope's struggle comes to an end 126/319.2 length outside off, looks to go inside-out over extra. Ends up slicing it over him and Cooper comes under it from long-off and takes another one with impeccable technique 140/618.3 taken at short third man. Out comes the salute from Cottrell. Rolls the slower ball at a length outside off, Smith gets into the off side to try and scoop one over short fine. Gets a top edge that's taken easily 138/5Extras11 (lb 7, w 4)TOTAL147/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-39 (Martin Guptill, 7.3 ov), 2-39 (Dwayne Smith, 7.4 ov), 3-126 (Shai Hope, 17.2 ov), 4-126 (Jason Holder, 17.3 ov), 5-138 (Steven Smith, 18.3 ov), 6-140 (Nicholas Pooran, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 has he got him? Yes! Chris Gayle is gone first ball. Irfan gets one to swing away late in the corridor and gets extra bounce to go with it. Gayle is squared up and gets one through to the keeper off his glove 0/12.4 caught behind but Lewis is shocked at it. Bouncer in the corridor, he looks to pull it and there's a sound as this passes the bat. Lewis doesn't think he's hit it, going by his reaction. The umpire thinks he has. Irfan doesn't care what who thinks - he's on fire. Patriots have lose their destructive openers and it's an out-of-sorts King in the middle at 7 for 2 in the third over 7/215.1 taken at long-on. One tossed up slowly outside off, King looks to slog sweep over midwicket, ends up skying it off the low end of the bat and that's the end of one of the most strange innings you'll see. In the same innings, King has shown complete lack of planning and stunning mettle. He swung them into a losing position, now he's left them favourites to finish with overs to spare 121/412.4 pummels middle stump. Thomas opens up his stance, gets into the leg side and shows all his stumps to Riaz. He's bowled a length ball that's taken middle stump right out of the ground 95/3Extras13 (b 1, lb 2, w 10)TOTAL148/4 (18.5 Overs, RR: 7.85)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Chris Gayle, 0.1 ov), 2-7 (Evin Lewis, 2.4 ov), 3-95 (Devon Thomas, 12.4 ov), 4-121 (Brandon King, 15.1 ov)
