- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 Oh dear, Jahangir has to depart now! Length ball pushes with soft hands to mid-on area and sets off for a quick single; immediately refused to rotate the strike, but Jahangir is already well outside the crease at the danger zone. A direct throw comes from the ring fielder and breaks the stumps. Jahangir has no chance there. 25/17.6 Chopped on and Mir gets the big wicket! A harmless non-turner back of a length ball around the fifth stump line, tries to play across the line with the cross bat, only manages to connect the inside part of the bat and drags the ball onto the stumps. 62/36.4 Joseph strikes! Banged in short pitched ball and Parris plays the pull shot a bit late, mistimes the stroke and clips it towards the short fine leg. Hamilton sprints to his left side and gobbles it up 56/213.3 Carty's struggle ends here for now! Width on offer length ball outside off, follows the line of the ball and tries to clear the off-side infield, miscues the stroke towards long off, the bottom hand goes off. Springer rushes in and settles underneath to complete the catch 96/418.2 Short of a length ball hits the deck hard, 145.9 kph. Powell tries to send it downtown, extra bounce off the pitch and miscues it to long on. Seales rushes forward and gobbles it up 142/616.6 Robinson takes a brilliant catch! Short of a length ball kept a bit low, Russell hurries to the pull shot and swings it away half-heartedly to the left of deep midwicket. Robinson covers his ground and dives fully stretched to pouch the catch. 125/519.5 Short pitched ball around off, tries to play the reverse ramp shot but fails to connect. Paul already set off for a single, but Hassan was watching the ball behind him. Hamilton tosses the ball quickly to Springer and the bowler does the rest. 161/7Extras22 (b 2, lb 6, w 14)TOTAL167/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.35)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Shayan Jahangir, 4.3 ov), 2-56 (Shaqkere Parris, 6.4 ov), 3-62 (Reeza Hendricks, 7.6 ov), 4-96 (Keacy Carty, 13.3 ov), 5-125 (Andre Russell, 16.6 ov), 6-142 (Rovman Powell, 18.2 ov), 7-161 (Keemo Paul, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 Cleaned him up! Low full toss ball on the stumps with slight deviation, plays with the full face of the bat and does not connect, turns it into a yorker ball and crashes on the lower end of the stumps. 13/16.5 Straight up in the air and Powell completes the catch! Fuller length ball on the stumps channel, Cornwall moves inside the line of the ball and plays with the full face of the bat, doesn't generate enough power or elevation to clear the ropes, finds the long on fielder in the end. 53/214.1 Russell finds the breakthrough! Fuller length ball angling away outside off, Robinson extends his arms and reaches for it, toe-ends the ball high in the air to long off. Powell moves to his right side and completes the catch making no mistake. 117/318.3 Soft appeal for a caught behind, but Jahangir looks convinced and signals to Powell to take the review. Russell delivered a widish yorker outside off angling away, and Tajinder tried to dig it out through cover point. Ultra Edge comes up, showing a spike as the ball passes the bat, but the bat hits the ground at the exact same moment. The third umpire carefully checks the available angles before making the call and it's signaled OUT! A dramatic turn of events, and Tajinder looks absolutely gutted as he walks off. 159/615.4 Clever stuff from Hassan! Allen backs away early and exposes all three stumps. Hassan bowls a fuller length ball angling in, thuds the back pad and deflects onto the stumps as Allen tries to sweep this one away 128/417.3 Hassan Khan grabs a world-class catch! Paul sprays it wide outside off and Gore splices it with the outside part of the bat towards the deep backward point. Hassan Khan rushes to his left side near the ropes, dive in fully stretched and gobbles it up while in air. Top-notch effort! 150/519.3 More twists! Low full toss ball and Hamilton gets underneath the line of the ball, hits it straight of long on. Powell sprints to his left side and holds on to it quite comfortably. 165/719.4 Straight to deep cover! Full and overpitched ball outside the off stump channel, sits down on the track and slashes this on hard and flat to the deep cover sweeper fielder stationed near the ropes 165/8Extras10 (w 10)TOTAL168/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.4)Did not bat: JNT SealesFall of wickets: 1-13 (Evin Lewis, 2.1 ov), 2-53 (Rahkeem Cornwall, 6.5 ov), 3-117 (Tim Robinson, 14.1 ov), 4-128 (Fabian Allen, 15.4 ov), 5-150 (Karima Gore, 17.3 ov), 6-159 (Tajinder Singh, 18.3 ov), 7-165 (Jahmar Hamilton, 19.3 ov), 8-165 (Usama Mir, 19.4 ov)
