- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.3 banged in short and outside off, King eyes up a big leg-side slog, loses his shape, and instead top-edges a catch to point. After a brilliant CPL 2019 season, King falls for a duck in his first innings this season 1/13.4 got him! Stopped on him a bit and he ended up tamely pushing it straight back to Narine off the leading edge, who strikes in his first over. 23/29.3 through him! The slog sweep connects with air and Narine connects with the stumps. Brought this closer to off stump and spinning into Taylor, who was eyeing the cow corner boundary again. But Narine gets this to spin sharply in, and knock back off stump. Good little knock by Taylor ends 73/313.5 simple catch to extra cover first wicket for the young Seales. Went for a flat-batted slog to another wide and full one, ended up top edging for the ball to spoon to the fielder 111/414.2 caught at long-on and that is wicket number 498 to Dwayne Bravo in T20s. Took the pace off this as he does, and bowled it wide of off. Rutherford had to go for it and did, with a slog-sweep but got it off the toe end. Still had enough for Munro to take the catch above his head at the edge of the boundary 117/5Extras12 (lb 7, w 5)TOTAL144/5 (17 Overs, RR: 8.47)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Brandon King, 0.3 ov), 2-23 (Chandrapaul Hemraj, 3.4 ov), 3-73 (Ross Taylor, 9.3 ov), 4-111 (Nicholas Pooran, 13.5 ov), 5-117 (Sherfane Rutherford, 14.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.1 slower bouncer outside off does it! Simmons, probably more confident after the last over, was shaping to thrash this into the offside after stepping away, but it was a slower bouncer that he didn't read at all. Way too early into the shot, which takes the toe end of the bat and loops comfortably to backward square leg. Clever bit of bowling by the young pacer 22/110.5 this time Tahir gets to celebrate! Full, outside off, and tries to clear deep midwicket with a slog sweep, but doesn't have the distance. 100/36.4 slower ball, back of a length, cramped for space, and his attempted fend bobs off the bat. Fielder at midwicket has to dive to his left, and he holds on to it. Munro pays the price for using hard hands 56/216.3 slower ball and he backs away to try and punch through cover, but it flies off the bat's top half and taken by the fielder running in to take it 142/614.1 toe ends it straight to long on! And Tahir is off celebrating again. Low full toss and Pollard gifts this... 122/415.1 short and wide, and the batsman backs away before reaching at it. That means he toe-ends the cut, and the fielder at cover dives full stretch to hold on to it 131/5Extras15 (lb 4, w 11)TOTAL147/6 (16.4 Overs, RR: 8.82)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Lendl Simmons, 4.1 ov), 2-56 (Colin Munro, 6.4 ov), 3-100 (Sunil Narine, 10.5 ov), 4-122 (Kieron Pollard, 14.1 ov), 5-131 (Tim Seifert, 15.1 ov), 6-142 (Darren Bravo, 16.3 ov)
