- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.3 he's got him! What a brilliant start for the Zouks! Nicks off to the keeper, and the umpire raises his finger. King is certain he didn't hit it but the keeper seemed utterly convinced 0/112.2 bowled between his legs, an ugly dismissal that sums up the day. It was a short ball drifting onto the legs, Hemraj goes back to hammer this over midwicket but it skids slightly under the bat. The ball looks like it caroms off a combination of the box and the inner thigh guard on the front leg, which is well outside leg stump at the point of contact, before redirecting through the legs onto the stumps. 55/70.4 wow, what's happening?! He's bowled him after Hetmyer leaves it! This is glorious. He leaves the ball alone expecting it to go away but it swings back in and clatters into middle! Kuggeleijn is on a hat-trick 0/23.5 he's holed out! More like he's been snared at long-off by a worldie! He cleared his front leg and wanted to go above the man's head. Ends up not quite timing it and the fielder had a bit of ground to make up but completed a remarkable catch diving forward, plucking it while airborne 14/36.6 and the sweep is also the downfall of Taylor! He misses it, and he's dead in front of middle. Those are the dangers when you sweep spinners who aren't giving the ball much air 24/48.5 he holes out! Ian Bishop on commentary his tearing his - ahem - hair out! Or he would have if, you know. The execution on that slog is beyond lamentable. Keemo Paul went for a low-percentage hoick through the onside, only to find a fielder perfectly poised to take that 32/511.2 similar ball, drastically different result! It was short on off stump again, Green didn't hesitate to try to whack it over cow corner again for six. Drags it a bit too straight though toward Nabi at deep midwicket. The President balances perfectly along the rope, takes the catch slightly above head height and softens the momentum of the ball by going to his right leg before coming back onto two feet. Taken inches inside the rope. 51/613.3 googly spins past the outside edge prodding forward. Looked innocuous but Fletcher goes berserk appealing for a stumping. Looks very very tight whether he is on or behind the line. Could go either way. I've seen that given not out depending on how thick the line is painted. It's only his toe that's planted stretching forward. Third umpire says not enough of his sole was pressed against the turf to be clearly behind the line. Fletcher's appeal is justified! 55/912.3 superb return catch puts Deyal on a hat-trick! Fractionally short again, not exactly a wicket-taking ball on the length, but Shepherd with a conservative back foot punch that he can't elevate over Deyal and doesn't attempt to keep down either. Deyal alertly dives forward and plucks this at ankle height. Two poor balls but they all count as wickets in the scorebook. 55/813.4 Jimboooooooooooooo!!!!!! You know it's the Zouks night when the big man can lunge full extension at slip for a catch like that! Delivery flighted full, Tahir goes for a slog sweep and a thick edge cannons off the inside leg/pad before ballooning backward toward silly point region. Cornwall reacts sharply from slip and shuffles forward before laying out to pluck it one-handed inches from the turf. This will be on his career highlight reel ala Dwayne Leverock in the 2007 World Cup. The grace of a swan! 55/10Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL55 all out (13.4 Overs, RR: 4.02)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Brandon King, 0.3 ov), 2-0 (Shimron Hetmyer, 0.4 ov), 3-14 (Nicholas Pooran, 3.5 ov), 4-24 (Ross Taylor, 6.6 ov), 5-32 (Keemo Paul, 8.5 ov), 6-51 (Chris Green, 11.2 ov), 7-55 (Chandrapaul Hemraj, 12.2 ov), 8-55 (Romario Shepherd, 12.3 ov), 9-55 (Kevin Sinclair, 13.3 ov), 10-55 (Imran Tahir, 13.4 ov)
