- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.6 Gottim! Picks up his third! Bowls an absolute viper of a ball that kicks and scream off the surface, nibbles away a touch as well, tries to hook it away and feather edges it to the keeper 43/31.3 oh that is stupendous catch, absolute worlied, dives it like a dolphin forward and gobbles it up, on a length and offers some width, slices it away in the air and lost his shape, bat turned and it's a rushed miscued stroke, absolute fantastic work in the field! Jewel Andrew was the fielder 6/11.4 oh, two in two, it's absolute madness out there! Forde roaring in celebration, touch short and floating outside off, he throws his hands at it and gets an inside-edge to the keeper, what a start by Saint Lucia Kings! 6/26.2 Falling like a house of card! Saint Lucia are unstoppable bullet train at the moment! Lobbed up fuller and dipping on middle and off, lovely revs on it, was sliding across and he leant forward to heave it away to long-off, Auguste gobbles it up 43/417.3 Pace-off and landed fuller shaping into the pads, tries to flick it leg-side and there might have been an inside-edge, umpire gave it out without any hesitation whatsoever. Moved across and tried to clattered it leg-side, well he has gone for the review. In-fact it's an outside edge and the on-field decision stands. Forde is having dream day out in the office, everything he touches turns into gold! Gets Jangoo as well. ABF staring into the abyss 92/97.3 Change of length, pushed a touch fuller and tempts him with width, he wanted to break free and clattered it straight to Asalanka at cover; massive breakthrough, it's just those sort of innings where team presses the panic button and simply cannot halt the slide. Moeen played with hard hands and perhaps should have spent a little time before attacking 46/57.5 This is going from bad to worse! It's total mayhem out there, Antigua and Barbuda are in absolute doldrums, it's a mess! Landed on middle and he leans it on midwicket, Fabian took a few steps down the pitch and then realized single was never on, looks lonely stranded in the middle, tries to scamper back but is well short of the crease as the throw is spot on and it's 47 for 6. Credit to Lucia for creating heaps of pressure and have totally baffled their opponents with attacking style of play but Antigua have a lot to blame on themselves for this precarious situation 47/611.3 Gives it bit more flight and tempts him, he takes the bait, exposes the stumps and slices it in the air at deep cover, just a subtle variation does the trick. Landed on a length on fourth stump line, was trying to break the shackles and loses his balance, just need able to tee off, an innings stuck in first gear 61/714.1 Holes out to long-off! Lands it fuller and just inside the tramline on off, lifts it up but does not get enough elevation and distance, pouched at long-off and innings continue to fall apart 66/8Extras4 (w 4)TOTAL98/9 (19 Overs, RR: 5.15)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Evin Lewis, 1.3 ov), 2-6 (Tim Robinson, 1.4 ov), 3-43 (Rahkeem Cornwall, 5.6 ov), 4-43 (Tajinder Singh, 6.2 ov), 5-46 (Moeen Ali, 7.3 ov), 6-47 (Fabian Allen, 7.5 ov), 7-61 (Shamar Springer, 11.3 ov), 8-66 (Joshua James, 14.1 ov), 9-92 (Amir Jangoo, 17.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 Dug in short and pushes it wide of off, he takes it on and pulls it in the air, looking a bit ungainly, Springer hangs onto it brilliantly at mid-on, simplest of the catches and Gous is crestfallen, his tempo being hit by rain interruptions and the idea is to get as many runs as possible in five overs 11/20.6 Pitches it short again and cramps him for room, needless bit of aggression, Chase advances down and miscues it at mid-on, taken by Alzarri Joseph; not on top of the bounce and it hit the splice of the bat and he knew he was in trouble as soon as he connected on it, don't know what was the rush. Seales punches the air in jubilation 4/13.4 Hits a shorter length and floating outside off, stood deep in his crease and with no feet movement simply chips it in the air and gives a regulation catch to the fielder stationed at mid-off; it's been that sort of the day; both teams have exact same torrid starts. Sammy's unamused face paints the whole picture 18/43.2 That looks stone dead and given; he sashayed across his stumps and Springer intelligently fired it full and straight, it hit low on the front pad as he swayed across and was given out straightaway. Andrew has asked for a review. Pitching outside off, impact in line and crashing onto middle, always looked out 17/34.5 Bit too full but not quite in the slot, thumps it downtown and finds the man perfectly stationed for this miscued heave at long-on. Got the toe end of the bat and Kings are in a massive sport of bother 21/55.3 Skipper leads and joins the catching party as well! Covers a lot of ground to mid-off and takes a brilliant diving catch; frantic strokeplay and chaos continues - a prevalent theme of both innings. A sharp lifter at him and he tries to whack it down the park 33/74.6 Oh my goodness! Are we seeing a repeat of ABF innings? This is a repeat telecast. Another one perishes, Alzarri Joseph makes no mistake gyrating around mid-on and mid-off as he fails to pump it down the ground. The ball leapt at the batter quickly and his pull got stuck midway 21/6Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL54/7 (7.4 Overs, RR: 7.04)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Roston Chase, 0.6 ov), 2-11 (Andries Gous, 1.6 ov), 3-17 (Jewel Andrew, 3.2 ov), 4-18 (Ackeem Auguste, 3.4 ov), 5-21 (Charith Asalanka, 4.5 ov), 6-21 (Darren Nedd, 4.6 ov), 7-33 (Matthew Forde, 5.3 ov)
