- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 Disturbs the furniture! That is precision bowling, aiming at the stumps and Ayub clears his front leg, exposes his stumps in a bid to play a cheeky shot behind square on leg, doesn't takes into account the seam movement and the leg stumps is flattened! He looks disconsolate after getting a good start. It's a vital breakthrough because he is a dangerous customer 35/20.6 Massive vociferous appeal for an lbw and up goes the finger! Goes full again and gets it to straighten a touch and raps him on the pads, that looks plumb and Sheldon has got his man, brings out his trademark salute celebration 2/112.6 Gets the big fish! That's a leg-spinners delight. Lots of revs on the ball and spinning away prodigiously and beating his hoick across the line, clattering the middle and off stump. He is absolutely pumped up! He produces first of magic tonight with lovely leg-spin bowling 124/45.4 Took the bait and handed a regulation catch to Rutherford at short third! After bowling a couple of short deliveries, he goes full and tempts him to drive, he obliges but doesn't get the middle of the bat, ends up edging it to the fielder behind square on off and has to take the long walk back into the pavilion. Was poking at a wide delivery but wasn't quite behind it 50/313.3 Another one bites the dust! Short and curling away outside off, Hetmyer saw the width and tries to dispatch that over deep cover but hands a simple catch to Fletcher at deep cover-point, he ran across and gobbled it up gleefully, throws the ball in air, looks very fired up after hanging onto it brilliantly while Hetmyer is livid with himself after getting a fabulous start 126/519.1 Over the wicket, length ball wide of off and seaming away a touch, he is not in a good position to pull that, swings for the hills and picks out to deep midwicket, superb catch by James running in from deep. A fine knock comes to an end 185/716.2 Cottrell pockets the catch at long-on! Fraction short on middle, hits it through the line but didn't get the elevation neither the distance and it's a fairly easy catch. Goes after a bright and breezy knock. The bat turned slightly and lost his shape a bit 150/6Extras12 (b 1, lb 2, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL197/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.85)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Chandrapaul Hemraj, 0.6 ov), 2-35 (Saim Ayub, 4.2 ov), 3-50 (Azam Khan, 5.4 ov), 4-124 (Shai Hope, 12.6 ov), 5-126 (Shimron Hetmyer, 13.3 ov), 6-150 (Dwaine Pretorius, 16.2 ov), 7-185 (Keemo Paul, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 Short, wide and harmless delivery but he gets his man! Scythes it away aerially and Hetmyer gobbles it up with a smile on his face, that's an interesting celebration with the tongue out and he's pointing to Shepherd. Important breakthrough 7/18.3 That's a tremendous riposte! Zips it quicker on a length outside off, gave it a lot of revs and more flight, draws him forward and he gets a faint tickle to Azam Khan who takes a sharp catch 83/34.3 Miscues the skier! Supreme bowling, short, tight on off stump, loses his shape while trying to heave it on the leg side, gets the splice and is snagged by Hope around cover. This is a huge scalp! 28/212.4 Motie strikes! Springs down the track and he watches his feet movement closely, lands it on a length and it straightens, goes past his swinging blade and wrecks the stumps. He has got the prized scalp! 114/69.3 Zips it quicker on a full-length outside off, lifts it playing away from his body but it goes straight to the fielder at deep cover who hangs onto a brilliant catch even though Paul lost it for a moment due to the light beaming straight into his eyes. Tahir wheels off in jubilation. Massive breakthrough in the context of the game, he was the danger man that could have taken the game deep but he departs and Tahir is over the moon, he knows the value of this wicket 88/411.3 Holes out to mid-off! Hits the deck hard and gets some seam movement, he looks to clear the infield, hits him high on the bat and goes straight to Saim Ayub who pouches it safely 104/514.1 Everything he touches turns to gold! Tossed up quicker on a length and gets it to spin away enough to beat his defences, the furniture is disturbed and Motie has got his third wicket. Nicely floated up, sticking to his guns and he was loading for a big shot down the ground 125/714.5 Motie does it again! Fourth wicket for the left-arm spinner! He goes for a big hit without sizing up Motie at all and duly perishes, playing across the wrong line and the ball clatters on the off stump, arms aloft, he is loving it 126/815.1 The deluge is getting suffocating for Patriots! Once again stumps disturbed! Excellent wrong'un does the trick, hits the top of off 126/916.5 Has he got all of it? No, he hasn't. Swings for the grandstands and gives his all but hasn't got the elevation. Calmly reverse-cupped by Hetmyer at deep midwicket and that's that 132/10Extras11 (b 1, lb 3, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL132 all out (16.5 Overs, RR: 7.84)Did not bat: GF LindeFall of wickets: 1-7 (Andre Fletcher, 1.3 ov), 2-28 (Joshua Da Silva, 4.3 ov), 3-83 (Evin Lewis, 8.3 ov), 4-88 (Sherfane Rutherford, 9.3 ov), 5-104 (Dominic Drakes, 11.3 ov), 6-114 (Ambati Rayudu, 12.4 ov), 7-125 (Corbin Bosch, 14.1 ov), 8-126 (Kofi James, 14.5 ov), 9-126 (Sheldon Cottrell, 15.1 ov), 10-132 (Izharulhaq Naveed, 16.5 ov)
