- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.6 yorked him! Speared this in flatter on middle. Fletcher cleared the front leg seemingly wanting to slog, then changed his mind but didn't exactly try to jam this in defense either. Just a tame waft over the top of the ball and the ball splits the base of off and middle stump. 41/32.2 flighted on fifth stump, goes to slog over mid-on and skies this high over mid-off. Hetmyer jogs in from the ring and takes a straightforward catch with palms facing into his chest. 17/12.5 he can't make the most of the letoff. Flighted full on off, it was a googly and he goes for a big booming drive but the ball skews off the edge once again and this time floats directly to backward point. No dive needed for Nedd this time around, who takes it at rib height on the ring. 19/219.5 length ball that Chase tries to heave over midwicket, big appeal turned down but Chase starts to walk on what looks like a toe edge that just carries low to Pooran behind. Pooran threw into the stumps anyway as he was leaving his crease so either way it was out. 142/76.4 full on the legs, Najibullah goes for the slog sweep but doesn't get the distance. Skies this to Rutherford perfectly placed at cow corner. Takes it with palms facing into his body at waste height two yards in from the rope. 42/414.3 flighted generously on fifth stump, Nabi slogs for long-on but instead skies it high to long-off. Simple catch taken 10 yards in from the rope. 99/519.4 length ball on off, Glenn tries to go wide this time with the ball coming into his body. Can't clear the deep boundary at cow corner where King takes a catch at waist height jogging left 5 yards inside the rope. 142/6Extras8 (b 3, lb 3, w 2)TOTAL144/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.2)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Kimani Melius, 2.2 ov), 2-19 (Mark Deyal, 2.5 ov), 3-41 (Andre Fletcher, 5.6 ov), 4-42 (Najibullah Zadran, 6.4 ov), 5-99 (Mohammad Nabi, 14.3 ov), 6-142 (Javelle Glen, 19.4 ov), 7-142 (Roston Chase, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.3 brutish delivery takes the glove to the keeper! Bangs this in short, but not too short and gets significant extra bounce. King is caught flat footed and tries to knock it down but has no chance, it climbs too sharply and the deflection floats to Fletcher's right, taking it in front of slip. 1/110.2 cutter on leg stump on a full length, tried to flick it across to midwicket but done in by the change of pace, skies a leading edge over extra cover and it lands in the hands of Chase, who takes a theatrical catch tumbling to his left 5 yards inside the ring. 60/41.6 bouncer does the trick again for the New Zealander! Short on the stumps, skies a pull to deep square and Deyal comes in 20 yards from the boundary to take a simple catch. 5/24.3 tries the reverse paddle off the back of the blade again. Failed to find the gap the first time. This time it balloons off the splice, into the helmet and Fletcher takes the carom at short leg. Bizarre innings from Taylor meets a bizarre finish. 7/318.1 chopped on! Cutter on a good length on sixth stump, Pooran tries to dab this to third man but it's a bit too full and the bottom edge clatters into the stumps. 124/617.2 fullish length ball outside off, slogs to deep midwicket. Fielder runs in 10 yards and to his right to take the catch in stride at thigh height. 116/519.1 yorker cleans Rutherford up! Heat seeker into the base of off stump. Rutherford tries to flick over midwicket rather than focus on jamming it out and off stump lights up as it pops out of the ground. 132/719.4 length ball, goes to slog over midwicket but a thick edge goes to Fletcher behind the stumps for a simple take. That'll just about wrap it up for the Zouks. 133/8Extras7 (lb 1, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL134/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.7)Did not bat: AR NeddFall of wickets: 1-1 (Brandon King, 1.3 ov), 2-5 (Shimron Hetmyer, 1.6 ov), 3-7 (Ross Taylor, 4.3 ov), 4-60 (Chandrapaul Hemraj, 10.2 ov), 5-116 (Keemo Paul, 17.2 ov), 6-124 (Nicholas Pooran, 18.1 ov), 7-132 (Sherfane Rutherford, 19.1 ov), 8-133 (Chris Green, 19.4 ov)
