- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 Incredible delivery, weaves his magic rightaway, loves CPL; he is at the zenith of his career; an absolute magician with the ball, does it again, first wicket of this season for the maestro! Irksome delivery turning sharply and quickly across off, gets in a tangle and flings his bat out, gets an outside edge and has been taken splendidly at first slip, marvelous start for TKR 7/19.3 Cries of caught behind and umpire took his time before raising the finger; shorter in length and curls away across off, tries a cut little deft touch behind square on off and ends up nicking it to the keeper; steady shedding of wickets continue 40/41.6 Floated up on a length and it turns in extravagantly, spinning in quickly after pitching touch short and it looks stone dead, too good for thee! He couldn't know anything about it, great match-up, Patriots in a spot of bother, cannot weather this storm by spinners and we usually ascribe this phrase with the pacers but it's these dextrous spinners who are turning it on big time, such great artists with the ball, lovely change of angle, an instinctive wicket-taker 8/23.3 Wide of the crease and it veers in viciously once again from a shorter length, he gets in a tangle while trying to cut, Narine and Co think he edges it to the slip but the umpire is not convinced and TKR have sent it upstairs to call for further inspection. Well, ultra-edge shows massive tremors when the ball passes the glove so he has got that absolutely right, three wickets down, this is Narine 2.0 16/316.3 The capitulation continues! pitched up and just outside off; it was a hit-me ball and he did hit but straight to the fielder art mid-off, should have elevated it a little more and got under it and this is a massive breakthrough; he was their hope to post a fighting total. 79/710.5 Dug in short and spiraling across off, gets across off and tries to break the shackles but ends up breaking the little resistance that he built alongside Wickham and he miscues a skier, lofts it to mid-off, Hosein takes a calm reverse cup, this is turning out to be a nightmarish start for Patriots and somehow they find themselves too many times in these precarious situations, is the cricket universe conspiring against them? 47/510.6 Another one bites the bust, it's a procession, wickets continue to tumble and they are collapsing like a house of cards! Sheer surrender of epic proportions, this is mayhem and there's no stopping! Shorter in length and it is whizzing in at a probing off-stump line, Navin pokes at it as if he is hypnotized and couldn't resist the temptation to flirt with danger and ends up nicking it through to the keeper 47/619.3 Over the wicket, dug in short and well wide of off, takes it on and tries to slash it up and over deep backward point, gets the top portion of the bat and the fielder does the rest, takes a regulation skier 106/916.6 That's an incredible lifter! Shoots up quickly on off-stump and he tries to cut it behind square on off, ends up edging it to the keeper, doesn't bother the scorers; he cannot hang around; a specialist bowler 79/8Extras9 (lb 1, w 8)TOTAL109/9 (20 Overs, RR: 5.45)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Andre Fletcher, 1.5 ov), 2-8 (Kyle Mayers, 1.6 ov), 3-16 (Alick Athanaze, 3.3 ov), 4-40 (Johnson Charles, 9.3 ov), 5-47 (Jason Holder, 10.5 ov), 6-47 (Navin Bidaisee, 10.6 ov), 7-79 (Kevin Wickham, 16.3 ov), 8-79 (Saurabh Netravalkar, 16.6 ov), 9-106 (Ashmead Nedd, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.3 Looped up on a length and it curls back a touch, dying towards him with no pace, he tries a frantic switch hit and makes an absolute mess of his stumps, ball crashes onto the middle and Munro is taking the long walk back to the pavillion after a stable start. Ball kept a touch low as he attempted a reverse sweep 34/23.6 On a length and curling back in at his body, rises steeply as it often does when he is bowling, biffed out to mid-off who takes a regulation catch and Alex Hales departs after getting a start, much-needed breakthrough for Patriots 26/112.6 Wide yorker length inside the tramline, leans out and stabs it to deep cover-point.
