- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 One-handed heave... to deep midwicket! There goes the set batter for Falcons. Wiese brings his experience into play, and digs the knuckle ball into the surface, angling it in. Greaves swipes across the line and targets the longer pocket, hitting into the wind. Pierre rushes to his left from deep midwicket, has the long-on fielder in his periphery but keeps his eyes on the ball and takes it well 68/34.3 Chase gets the breakthrough! Zaman skips down the ground to take on this full delivery but miscues it. It goes high in the air off the toe end. Khary Pierre had a tough job to do, running back from cover, but he gets under it and holds on even as he takes a tumble 35/17.1 And he strikes right away! Cleaned him up! James goes for the sweep, but he is completely beaten. Pierre tosses this up on the stumps and it spins away to beat the swipe across the line 52/213.3 Noor has the last laugh. Andrew thinks he can talk him over but only finds long-on. Another googly, fuller in length this time, just outside off. He gets down on a knee to slog it over but miscues it to Joseph in the deep. Falcons in some bother 87/416.4 Gone now? Looks to be the case Another stumping appeal has been take upstairs. Once again Billings shapes for the switch hit. He overbalances after he misses making contact with the conventional legbreak. Seifert fumbles the take but manages to disturb the stumps before Billings bat comes down 110/516.5 Sneaks through him! What a ball. Darts in the wristspin fullish on off and middle, Allen looks to swipe it over midwicket but completely misses. Gets beaten on the inside and sees his stumps shattered, much like Falcons' hopes 110/619.3 Skied high and gone. Full and angling in on middle and leg, Green once again targets the on side but slices it high towards cover, where Rajapaksa settles underneath it and pouches it safely 137/7Extras4 (lb 3, w 1)TOTAL142/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.1)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Fakhar Zaman, 4.3 ov), 2-52 (Kofi James, 7.1 ov), 3-68 (Justin Greaves, 10.2 ov), 4-87 (Jewel Andrew, 13.3 ov), 5-110 (Sam Billings, 16.4 ov), 6-110 (Fabian Allen, 16.5 ov), 7-137 (Chris Green, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 Wasim gets the breakthrough! Three dot balls on the trot brings on the pressure and du Plessis holes out looking for a big shot. He was backing away to this length ball angling into him to cramp him for room. Looks to go down the ground but skies it. James settles under it 36/17.2 Taken at short third! Rajapaksa wants to drive this overpitched ball on the off side, but he only gets a thick outside edge that carries to the fielder 62/214.5 Trapped in front! Auguste is deceived in flight. Allen bowls the arm ball very full on off. Auguste goes for the sweep but misses and it hits it full on the boot that is adjacent to the stumps. Does not even think of the review 116/3Extras7 (w 7)TOTAL144/3 (17 Overs, RR: 8.47)Fall of wickets: 1-36 (Faf du Plessis, 3.4 ov), 2-62 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 7.2 ov), 3-116 (Ackeem Auguste, 14.5 ov)
