    3.1 gone this time! Full delivery just outside off and Ayub looks to go downtown. Tries to loft it over mid on but this seems to stick in the surface a tad, meaning that he mistimes it and offers a fairly regulation chance to mid on, who makes no mistake! 35/1
    5.3 is that out?! Well, it looks like it! Off-pace delivery that ends up as a very low full toss outside off. Smith somehow manages to get under it but because the ball is so full, he can only chip it straight to the fielder at cover point. No reaction really from anyone and it is only after Smith starts walking back that the Royals begin congregating! 62/2
    16.6 and it pays off instantly! Slower delivery dug in on the pads. Hope is a little cramped for room and does not have as much pace to work with either. Swings it away towards deep backward square leg, where Greaves judges it to perfection, dives forward and completes the catch! Take nothing away from this knock, though. This has been incredible and some. A 44-ball 106 that will forever be etched in CPL folklore! 194/3
    19.2 goes straight up, and the keeper takes it on the second attempt! Back of a length on leg stump. Anderson tries to shovel it away but the ball holds in the surface a little and skews up off the leading edge. Clarke settles under it, juggles it once before completing the catch! 224/5
    18.1 holes out to deep mid wicket! Low full toss on off stump. Azam, like yesterday, tries to shovel it over deep square leg. Gets the elevation but not the distance, though. Qais settles under it, running to his right from deep mid wicket and holds onto the catch, despite the close proximity of the fielder coming in from deep square leg! 205/4
    19.4 survives the catch but cannot survive the run-out! Full and angled across the batter outside off. Hetmyer slices it terribly but somehow gets it to fall between extra cover and deep cover point. Tries to come back for the second but is not even in the frame as the sweeper fires it in at the batter's end, with Clarke completing the run-out! 225/7
    19.3 Pretorius sacrifices himself! Slower delivery on a length just outside off. Pretorius has a wild slog at it and misses it completely. Hetmyer scampers across for the bye but Pretorius does not seem ready enough. The keeper relays it to McCoy, who does the rest at the bowler's end! 224/6

    2.3 edged and taken! No Cornwall carnage in Guyana tonight! Back of a length delivery on middle and off that seems to nip away a shade. Cornwall has a nibble at it without any footwork and gets a thick outside edge that Ayub gobbles up at wide slip! 16/1
    5.4 gone this time! Looped up nicely on a length outside off. Greaves comes down the track and looks to hit it into the ocean. Does not get to the pitch of the ball and it rips past the outside edge. Azam whips off the bails and Greaves has to walk back! 36/2

    7.1 Motie has another! Slowed up beautifully on a length on off stump. Evans backs away and looks to slog it over cow corner. The ball, though, just does not arrive and keeps very low as well, hitting the lower half of off stump. That was an ugly stroke, but take nothing away from Motie's magnificence! 42/3
    8.4 huge appeal, not given! Reviewed by Tahir instantly! Back of a length delivery on middle and off stump that skids through. Athanaze goes for the pull but seems to miss it altogether. Gets pinned on the back leg, right in front of middle and off stump. If Athanaze has not hit it, this could be curtains. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows the ball would have crashed into middle and off stump! Tahir has two in the over, and the Royals are staring down the barrel! 49/5
    8.1 the wrong'un comes and it is all over for Powell! Catch Tahir if you can! Beautifully-disguised googly that pitches on a full length on off stump. Powell tries to tonk it into tomorrow but does not pick the variation at all. Massive air shot and the ball crashes into the stumps! 47/4
    14.3 cleans him up! And Tahir is off celebrating again! Slider on a full length on leg stump. Seems like Holder is deceived in the air and the ball is a lot fuller than he expects. Ends up almost yorking himself as the ball sneaks past the bat and thunders into leg stump! 87/6
