- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.4 Reifer finally gets his man! Sticks to his plan of bowling full and wide with three out on the off side. This is on a length, de Kock looks to repeat his loft over extra cover but miscues it wide of long-off. Sinclair runs around and takes a diving catch. Lots of congratulations for de Kock from the Amazon Warriors players, superb innings this 199/52.4 well taken by Hetmyer! He was placed at cover point, and had to turn around before moving forward to catch the ball which was dropping over his shoulders. Pretorius bowled on the shorter side just outside off, as Alleyne went slicing over the off side. But the length seemed too short for that shot, and the ball ballooned up for a dismissal 25/111.6 Cracked away... to deep extra cover! Would you believe it? Perhaps the crispiest shot that Athanaze played all night. Dancing down the track to the length ball outside off and giving it a go with a free swing of the blade. But Joseph was stationed in the deep to perfection and he did not have to move an inch, takes it on the second go. Reifer has his right arm up in celebration. A blessing for Royals this? 107/214.3 Pretorius strikes, combining with Hetmyer again. Digs the slower one into the surface, well outside off. Powell looks to flat-bat it over long-off but finds the fielder there. No error there 137/315.4 Miscued to long-on. After a couple of length deliveries, Paul goes slightly fuller outside off. Miller thinks of dismissing it from his presence and targets the straighter boundary. But it comes off the cue end and goes to Robinson, who tumbles and pouches it 140/419.6 Positive end for Reifer. Angling away on a length, Clarke slices it to deep cover running in. Robinson tumbles and takes that after running forward.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 taken at long-on! Miller is halfway forward towards the circle, and has to keep his eyes on the ball for ages... before it finally comes down, and he grabs it with a reverse cup. Holder bowled on the shorter side of a length around sixth stump, and Azam went swatting first ball. But the ball blew up off the higher side of the bat, touched the clouds, and dropped straight into Miller's hands 5/15.4 stumped him! Maharaj dropped Hope two balls back, but has Robinson beaten now. He gave the ball some flight, while angling it in from around the wicket. The ball dipped to land outside leg, and with Robinson down the pitch in attempting to swing, was beaten by the lack of pace. A lot of time for Clarke to whip the bails off 34/213.2 This has gone high.... Holder calls for and holds on to it It is a massive wicket, that of Hope. Once again Holder opts to bowl the back of a length ball, Hope looks to heave it across the line. But it gets big on him due to the extra bounce and he ends up skying it high. Holder himself runs to his right towards short midwicket from his follow-through, settles under it and takes it safely. Amazon Warriors' Hope(s) take a dip 114/48.5 taken at deep midwicket! Miller takes it low while moving to his left. Maharaj floated this length delivery wide outside off for Hetmyer, with the angle from around the wicket helping it move across. Hetmyer also moved across the stumps and went swiping, but the line seemed a bit too wide for him to slog to the leg side 75/314.3 Well-judged catch from Powell and that is that for Moeen. Maharaj throws it wider outside off - even though Mo is standing on middle - and asks him to hit straight or across the line. He looks to go downtown and slices it towards long-off, where the Royals captains keeps his eyes on the ball and takes it. He ensures he does not touch the boundary cushions behind him. Maharaj has the last laugh and that could well be that for the Amazon Warriors 126/5Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL173/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.65)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Azam Khan, 1.1 ov), 2-34 (Tim Robinson, 5.4 ov), 3-75 (Shimron Hetmyer, 8.5 ov), 4-114 (Shai Hope, 13.2 ov), 5-126 (Moeen Ali, 14.3 ov)
