- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.3 is that a catch. That is a catch! Can Naveen put a foot wrong? This is sensational. Cornwall tried to nudge it down to the legside. The leading edge means it goes up in the air, and extra cover races forward, lunging at the last moment to just about pluck that out just before it hits the ground 26/31.3 he's gone! Fletcher attempted a lazy slog to the onside, it takes the outside edge and sails to the man at 45. It leaves Fletcher stranded on 1999 runs, and he'll have to wait another game at least before he gets there 8/12.5 followed up by a wicket! He never could get going, he tried to clear the circle on the legside. Never found the timing, and it's scooped up to long on, where Chris Green - who else? - takes the catch 15/212.1 short ball on fourth stump, tried to flick a pull with a short arm jab through square leg but the ball doesn't come on as he'd like and a thin bottom edge carries comfortably to Pooran. He walks before the umpire raises the finger. 57/511.4 nabs him with the googly to break the wicket drought! Or has he? Replay looks like he has just landed the foot behind the line. It was flighted generously on a fullish length on fourth stump, Najibullah's eyes light up thinking about heaving this over midwicket, but it spins away from him and a thin bottom edge is well held by Pooran. 57/416.4 full pace, full length, but not full over the rope. Caught at deep extra cover. Nabi tries to carve this ball from seventh stump high over the ropes but Sinclair is in perfect position and takes the catch falling forward on his knees 3 yards inside the rope. Naveen rewarded again for his constant variations. 76/712.6 two in the over as Sammy is trapped on the crease with his feet stuck in the mud. Fullish length ball from Paul pitches on fourth stump and jags back. He'd been going short to Sammy earlier in the over and the captain doesn't get his feet moving expecting he'll need to go back again and is frozen by the fuller delivery. Tries to wave the bat around his pads but is very late and the ball thuds below the knee roll. Straightforward decision for umpire Brathwaite. 59/6Extras4 (lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL109/7 (20 Overs, RR: 5.45)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Andre Fletcher, 1.3 ov), 2-15 (Leniko Boucher, 2.5 ov), 3-26 (Rahkeem Cornwall, 5.3 ov), 4-57 (Najibullah Zadran, 11.4 ov), 5-57 (Kavem Hodge, 12.1 ov), 6-59 (Daren Sammy, 12.6 ov), 7-76 (Mohammad Nabi, 16.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.3 that looked like it was on the cards. King moves across once more, and never came close to getting bat on it. It takes the leg stump, and the Zouks have their first breakthrough 19/18.5 bowled him! That's a soft dismissal. It was a nothing delivery, and Hemraj looked to smack it through the onside. It clips the stumps off his pads, and the Zouks have a breakthrough they desperately needed 58/212.2 premeditates a reverse sweep/pull to a good length ball and picks out deep cover. Smart diving catch by Boucher coming in 10 yards off the rope. Glenn might think that Pooran was showing off a touch with the shot attempt and responds with an over the top dance to celebrate claiming his wicket in the midst of the Zouks getting pasted. 98/3Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL110/3 (13.5 Overs, RR: 7.95)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Brandon King, 2.3 ov), 2-58 (Chandrapaul Hemraj, 8.5 ov), 3-98 (Nicholas Pooran, 12.2 ov)
