- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.3 Fabian Allen takes a blinder! Pace off fuller length ball in the slot on the off stump line, bends down and plays the slog sweep, connects it hard and flat towards wide of deep backward square leg. Fabian Allen sprints in to his right side and commits to a fully stretched dive, almost flying in to grab that low catch before hitting the ground. 110/41.5 Edged and taken, Seales is pumped up! King was struggling against Seales for quite some time, lovely late seam movement off the pitch with extra bounce. He shuffles across and tries to negate the short of a length ball across the line, closes the face of the bat early and finds the outside edge straight into the hands of Cornwall at first slip. 6/16.3 Ghazanfar strikes! Back of a length ball on the stumps, Alleyne hangs back and tries to clear the long on fences, gets into an awkward stance and loses his body shape, clips it in the air and hits it flat towards long on. Jayden Seales comes forward and gobbles it up. 33/210.5 Parris' misery comes to an end! Short of a length ball on the stumps, it was there to be hit. Parris opted to go straight, lofted it with a full swing of the bat, failed to get enough elevation and found the long on fielder near the ropes. 61/317.1 Jewel Andrew takes a spectacular catch! Back of a length ball angling away wide outside off, Rutherford opens the face of the bat and tries to slash it over the covers, thick outside edge. Jewel leaps and dives full stretched to his left side like a falcon and grabs onto the ball with both gloves this time. 117/518.3 uprooted the off stump! Change of pace fuller length ball in the block-hole, Sams moves away from the wicket and clears the front foot, wild swing of the bat and misses the line of the ball, crashed onto the stumps 125/6Extras11 (lb 4, w 7)TOTAL151/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.55)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Brandon King, 1.5 ov), 2-33 (Kadeem Alleyne, 6.3 ov), 3-61 (Shaqkere Parris, 10.5 ov), 4-110 (Quinton de Kock, 16.3 ov), 5-117 (Sherfane Rutherford, 17.1 ov), 6-125 (Daniel Sams, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Massive appeal turned down! Slight fuller length ball on the off stump line, nips back in just enough to beat Cornwall and hits the side of the back pad. The umpire is not convinced, and Rovman opted to send it upstairs. Was there bat involved? There were two noises, though. Oh dear! The ball tickles off the inside edge of the bat, brushes off the side of the off stump, did not dislodge the bails and then goes into the gloves of QDK! No pad involved, but it doesn't matter. Cornwall has to depart now. 18/18.4 Warrican picked up a T20 wicket after ten years! Flighted length ball on the off stump line, gets down on one knee and plays the paddle sweep, misses the arm ball and hits the thigh pad in front of the stumps. Loud appeal, and the umpire raises his finger. Jewel decides to review the decision. Ultra Edge confirmed no bat is involved. The impact is umpire's call and hitting the middle-off stump. 57/213.5 Shakib has holed out! Back of a length ball on the stumps, Shakib tries to break free and whacks it in the air with the straight bat, no power or elevation to clear the fences. An easy catch for Powell near the ropes at long on. 90/317.1 Whatever Powell touches turns into gold! Fuller length ball drills it away past the bowler to straight of long on, sets off for the second run. Rovman Powell comes around from long on, collects the ball cleanly and has a go at the striker's end. A bullet throw from the Royals skipper, hits the timber and Imad has to depart! 122/4Extras10 (b 4, lb 2, w 4)TOTAL152/4 (19.4 Overs, RR: 7.72)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Rahkeem Cornwall, 2.2 ov), 2-57 (Jewel Andrew, 8.4 ov), 3-90 (Shakib Al Hasan, 13.5 ov), 4-122 (Imad Wasim, 17.1 ov)
