- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.1 Skied straight up and Andries Gous holds on! Bowling change does the trick for Falcons and Lewis, just as he was gathering momentum, has to go. Has a big swipe across the line to this length ball outside off and ends up with a top edge. Lewis started walking before the ball started coming down before settling into Gous' gloves! 81/33.6 The pressure tells! Spoons a catch to short third, does Fletcher. Seales with the breakthrough! Back of length outside off and Fletcher stabs at it, and it goes to Shamar Springer who takes a good catch diving in front to send the Spiceman packing! 20/16.2 Jewel Andrew almost dropped it, and again, and again, but holds on in the end! Angled across Rossouw and he looks to slash it over the off side, but ends up slicing it and Andrew runs in from the deep and completes a juggling catch 32/214.6 No doubts about that one as Rizwan lobs it back to the bowler! Guess you have to do it all by yourself when you're making history! Shakib becomes the first to get 500 wickets and 7000 runs in T20s! Tossed up around off and Rizwan was early into the shot as he looked to work it down the ground. Ends up offering one of the easiest catches Shakib would have taken in his career. Very muted celebrations from the legendary allrounder, though 95/416.2 T20 wicket No. 501 for Shakib! Mayers looks to reverse-sweep but this full ball down leg draws the top-edge and Mir holds on at cover 110/519.1 Direct hit and Holder may be a goner! Slower bouncer stays low to beat Afridi's pull and they set off for the bye. Andries Gous is quick to under-arm a throw at the stumps and replays confirm that he caught Holder just short of the crease! 127/716.5 Another one for Shakib! Bidaisee lobs a catch to short third's left. Tossed up on middle and leg, cramping him for room and Bidaisee was looking for the big slog on the leg side, only to edge it behind on the off side 112/619.2 Low full toss on leg, flicked through fine leg and they get two. Now they look for a third as the throw from the deep is wayward, but Abbas Afridi is well short! Another run out! Two in two balls! Imad Wasim at cover was good with his throw after collecting the overthrow and Gous does the rest 129/819.4 Low full toss outside off, Naseem looks for a big swing and misses but ends up hitting it past the bowler. But waiiiiit, there's another run-out! Fabian Allen from long-off runs across, grabs it and is on target with this throw at the non-striker's end! 132/9Extras5 (b 1, lb 1, w 3)TOTAL133/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.65)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Andre Fletcher, 3.6 ov), 2-32 (Rilee Rossouw, 6.2 ov), 3-81 (Evin Lewis, 13.1 ov), 4-95 (Mohammad Rizwan, 14.6 ov), 5-110 (Kyle Mayers, 16.2 ov), 6-112 (Navin Bidaisee, 16.5 ov), 7-127 (Jason Holder, 19.1 ov), 8-129 (Abbas Afridi, 19.2 ov), 9-132 (Ashmead Nedd, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.6 Quick hands from Rizwan as Andrew nearly loses balance trying get forward to this googly. Was his foot grounded? Did he overbalance? Oh, it looks like his foot had dragged forward and it was in the air as he tried to get it back behind the crease! Andrew struggled against the wrong'un through the over, and Salamkheil does break through with it in the end! Great glovework by Rizwan as well there! Important wicket at the halfway mark 71/24.3 Skies it and Rizwan takes a very good catch! Nedd is pumping his fist as Patriots get their first wicket. Cowrnwall cleared his front leg and was looking to slog away this full ball around off that only slightly spins away to take the top edge. Rizwan has to run forward to the batter's left and he puts in the dive and hangs on to it 34/114.6 Oh no, Shakib's gotten stumped! Bidaisee goes on a length around middle as Shakib skips down the track and it's the googly and it does him all ends up. Easier stumping for Rizwan this time as the allrounder walks off, but Shakib will feel he has done his job here 106/3Extras7 (lb 4, w 3)TOTAL137/3 (19.4 Overs, RR: 6.96)Fall of wickets: 1-34 (Rahkeem Cornwall, 4.3 ov), 2-71 (Jewel Andrew, 9.6 ov), 3-106 (Shakib Al Hasan, 14.6 ov)
