- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.6 Caught at mid-off this time! Amir can celebrate now. On a length and outside off, it's a tacky surface, so the ball isn't coming onto the bat. Lewis aims to force it over the infield, but gets caught by Green at mid-off 36/22.5 Fletcher's luck runs out! Caught in the slips. 121.7ks slowie from Amir, Fletcher aims to drag it over the leg side. He plays too early and lobs a leading edge to King at first slip 13/15.6 skidding in from round the wicket, does not turn, Mayers plays for that turn and misses it. Was it heading down the leg side, especially with the sharp angle from round the wicket? Not given out lbw. James has a chat with capt Green. Falcons have called for a review of the on-field not-out decision. Not bat involved for sure. Ball-tracking indicates that it would've crashed into leg stump. James gets rid of birthday boy Mayers. Maiden T20 wicket for James, and it comes against his former CPL team 36/38.3 Allen pitches it on a good length and gets it to turn away outside off. Hasaranga slashes away from the body and can only nick it behind to Billings. Allen redeems himself with the ball after having dropped a catch earlier in the deep 60/416.1 bowled him! The leg stump is pushed back! Rossouw went slogging at this short-of-a-length ball around fifth stump, but missed, as the ball turned in rather considerably. Beaten by the turn there, as well as, perhaps, by the shorter length 106/519.5 taken by Wasim on the second attempt! He bowled a flatter trajectory, and went on a length around sixth stump. The ball was pretty quick too, as Louis' attempted swat resulted in a top edge for Wasim 153/717.2 gone, tickled to the keeper! A soft dismissal for Drakes. Amir bowls a slower ball again, and although he kept his length on the shorter side, the line this time was around seventh stump. Drakes went slashing, but got a thin edge behind to Billings 114/619.6 taken at long-on! So the innings ends with back-to-back wickets, Wasim went full around off, and Permaul went hoicking. But it wasn't timed all that well, and landed right where the fielder was placed 153/8Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL153/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Andre Fletcher, 2.5 ov), 2-36 (Evin Lewis, 4.6 ov), 3-36 (Kyle Mayers, 5.6 ov), 4-60 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 8.3 ov), 5-106 (Rilee Rossouw, 16.1 ov), 6-114 (Dominic Drakes, 17.2 ov), 7-153 (Mikyle Louis, 19.5 ov), 8-153 (Veerasammy Permaul, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 given out lbw. Pin-point yorker from Nortje, and it finds King in the worst possible position. He's moving across the stumps, and ends up falling over as he tries in vain to make contact with a straight ball looking for middle and leg. No bat. Bye-bye. 55/17.2 another wrong'un from Hasaranga, this is on a perfect length and bursts through the defences of Greaves. On a fuller side of a good length, Greaves was perhaps playing for the legbreak, but ends up being bowled through the gate. The home crowd finds its voice once again as Hasaranga strikes with his second ball 80/28.4 much fuller and slower on off from Permaul, hint of turn as well, James looks to slog-sweep it over midwicket but gets it nowhere close to the middle. Splices a catch to midwicket, where Nedd settles underneath this skier. Patriots' spinners are bringing them back into this contest 86/315.1 strikes first ball on his return! He doesn't lose his momentum at all! Bowls a full ball dipping around off stump, and the ball turns away late. Billings was early into his attempted reverse sweep, and ended up top-edging it to short third for a simple take 110/711.2 leading edge back to Hasaranga! Falcons getting off track now. Hasaranga bowled a fullish ball angled into leg stump, with the ball dipping on to the batter. It turned away after that, with the slowness of the pitch coming into picture, as Andrew closed the face of the bat to try and clip, but the ball popped back to the bowler 91/411.3 Hasaranga doesn't even look back in that celebrappeal... before Springer reviews this lbw decision! It is a fair delivery, to begin with. The first slow-motion replay indicates that this seems to be heading down the leg side, though. It is a full ball dipping just outside off, and turning in, as he bowled the googly. Springer looked to flick this with the turn, but was beaten, with the ball hitting his front pad. And, and... the ball would have hit leg stump, so forget about it doing too much. So Hasaranga is on a hat-trick 91/513.2 taken at point! Hasaranga in action again! Nortje bowled on a short-of-a-length around fifth stump, and Green played a late cut. But it was hit aerially, and went right into Hasaranga's hands at point. Falcons keep sliding further despite a superb start 99/618.2 taken at backward point! The ball was up in the air for ages, before settling into the sub fielder Smith's hands. Nortje bowled on a fullish length in the channel, with his skiddy pace helping the ball rush on to Primus. The latter went lofting, but ended up mistiming it and getting it off the outside half of the bat 140/8Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL154/8 (19.4 Overs, RR: 7.83)Did not bat: Mohammad AmirFall of wickets: 1-55 (Brandon King, 4.3 ov), 2-80 (Justin Greaves, 7.2 ov), 3-86 (Kofi James, 8.4 ov), 4-91 (Jewel Andrew, 11.2 ov), 5-91 (Shamar Springer, 11.3 ov), 6-99 (Chris Green, 13.2 ov), 7-110 (Sam Billings, 15.1 ov), 8-140 (Roshon Primus, 18.2 ov)
