- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 That's a tremendous riposte! Castled him with a searing yorker right at the base of middle and Deyal perishes. Gets this yorker right in the blockhole and under the bat, smashing into middle stump. Great sight for the bowler 41/18.2 Caught and bowled! Ahmad continues his rich vein of form, Pooran is absolutely despondent, mistimes a shot back to the bowler and couldn't get on top of the ball, it kicked off the turf and it's a big wicket. Ahmad has produced the first bit of magic tonight with his cunning spinning methods. A very crucial breakthrough 69/218.1 Round the wicket, flighted and low full toss, that was a nothing ball but Pollard has made a mess of it. Takes a big stride out and was looking to clear long-on but didn't get the middle, ball lobbed up and nestles in Holder's big bucket hands at long-off. Big wicket but nevertheless he has done substantial damage 177/319.5 Athanaze pouches it down his throat at deep midwicket! Rocks back and lifts it but didn't get all of it. 194/419.6 Spears it fuller and angles it across off, keeping it away from his levers, keeper throws at the right end as Holder whips off the bails and DJ Bravo is run out 194/5Extras10 (b 1, lb 3, w 6)TOTAL194/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.7)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Mark Deyal, 5.2 ov), 2-69 (Nicholas Pooran, 8.2 ov), 3-177 (Kieron Pollard, 18.1 ov), 4-194 (Andre Russell, 19.5 ov), 5-194 (Dwayne Bravo, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 Oh, that's a massive breakthrough! Back of a length, curling away slightly outside off, he tries to flick it across the line, ball just kissed the outside edge and Bravo takes a superb catch at the slip cordon. Cornwall perishes without troubling the scorers. It was thumped into the deck and surprised Cornwall with the extra bounce, just a lazy and reckless heave across the line, startled by the kick off the turf. Riders couldn't have asked for a better start 0/10.4 Yelping for an lbw and umpire thinks otherwise. Consultation between the bowler and captain. Pollard decides to use a review. This is a fair delivery. Pitched up and gets it to shape in from middle and leg, there is not contact with the bat. Pitching in line, impact in line and wickets hitting the decision has to be OVERTURNED! My goodness, that didn't look out in real time but not only it pitched in the line of the stumps but didn't swing as much as I thought. What a review, another batter goes without getting off the mark! Russell on fire. 1/24.3 Oh, that looks plumb and given! Pitched up, holds its line on middle and beats his sweep. Sent upstairs. Pitching just outside off, impact is in line and it is crashing the stumps so Laurie Evans has to go. Royals are in dire straits, fourth wicket down as the captain walks out in the middle The required run rate is on the rise and they are in a need of a big partnership. This is the experienced pair. They have got to take the game deep but it's a tough ask 20/42.2 Launches the ball straight into the hands of Pooran at mid-on who gobbles it up gleefully. Cleverly changes his length again, thumped into the deck and it rises steeply, cramping him for room, goes for an ambitious pull, it hits him high on the blade and it's not under-control, a simple catch for Pooran. This is not looking good at all for Royals 5/37.4 That's a screamer! Bravo making a huge impact in the field, this is his second catch. Wow, stupendously taken at first slip. Holder goes for 14! Tossed up on a length and gets it to turn away sharply outside off, tried to play jailbreak shot, cutting it hard but not getting the middle, Bravo couldn't cling on in the first attempt but recovered well and caught in the second attempt. Excellent catch, they are all celebrating! 34/66.1 The debutant takes wicket on his first ball in the CPL! That was imperiously slugged and goes straight to Deyal at long-off, that ball travelling like a bullet but superbly taken in the deep. Pollard is clapping and Powell stands there shell-shocked in the middle of the pitch. Slowly starts to walk back in the hut. 30/58.3 Makes a mess of his stumps! Length ball, turning away outside off, didn't pick the googly and swats at it in the last second, gets an inside edge that goes onto hit the stumps. The zingers are alight as Royals stare into the abyss. This has been a no-show from Royals' batter so far. The lowest score is 52 in CPL - unexpectedly from TKR 40/710.5 Even better! Slightly fuller and turning away extravagantly outside off, draws him forward and then rips it past the outside edge. Lost his balance and he knows his backfoot wasn't inside the crease so he is not even waiting for the umpire and is walking off. The replay confirms his foot was a few inches outside the crease and Tucker does well to whip off the bails in a jiffy. 49/99.2 Procession at the moment as van der Merwe is adjudged lbw! Nagging middle-stump line and he can't tuck it away, massive yahoo across the line. That looked stone dead and umpire didn't show any hesitation in raising the finger. The deluge is getting suffocating for Royals 45/812.1 Beautiful loop from Salamkheil and lured him into going for the big shot. He throws the kitchen sink at it and is caught at deep midwicket. This is the heaviest defeat by the margin of runs in the history of CPL. 61/10Extras4 (b 4)TOTAL61 all out (12.1 Overs, RR: 5.01)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Rahkeem Cornwall, 0.1 ov), 2-1 (Kyle Mayers, 0.4 ov), 3-5 (Alick Athanaze, 2.2 ov), 4-20 (Laurie Evans, 4.3 ov), 5-30 (Rovman Powell, 6.1 ov), 6-34 (Jason Holder, 7.4 ov), 7-40 (Kevin Wickham, 8.3 ov), 8-45 (Roelof van der Merwe, 9.2 ov), 9-49 (Nyeem Young, 10.5 ov), 10-61 (Obed McCoy, 12.1 ov)
