- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 Fletcher yorks himself. Not the greatest ball from Zampa, and definitely not the greatest shot from Fletcher. Should have been converted into a full toss but Fletcher is a deer in the headlights staring at this full delivery while rooted to the crease without any footwork and tries to stab his bat back behind his feet but can't keep the ball out. An innocuous delivery all things considered but Fletcher shows the kind of form he is in by being unable to block it out at a minimum. 40/110.6 carved high to cover! Marsh has an impact again. Back of a length outside off, a slower ball, Lewis can't get any timing into the strike as he aims down the ground 124/36.3 googly flighted full and very wide on seventh stump, Gayle is sucked into another big heave but unlike the balls that went for six against Zampa the previous over, the extra width is too much for Gayle to play a comfortable shot and his swipe across the line - that too against the turn from the googly - results in a big top edge swirling over mid-off taken 10 yards inside the rope. Clever from Swepson. 83/214.4 and it works! A length ball angled across, Simmons moves across the crease, goes for an almighty to the leg side, it skews high into the backward point area where Tye settles under it 168/417.4 short ball, taken at deep midwicket! Well bowled by Tye. Was angled across Pooran, he went for the pull but it takes more top edge than middle and it's a comfortable catch 182/715.5 taken at deep cover! Big moment. Short outside off, Russell attempts to clear the off side with a flat-batted swat but finds Carey 173/516.5 taken this time! A replay of the previous ball, Allen going for the pull and this time it reaches Zampa at head height in front of his face 176/619.1 taken at short third man...a slower ball, full outside off, Bravo swings and the bottom hand comes off the bat. Finch takes a few steps back on the edge of the ring 191/8Extras15 (lb 1, nb 3, w 11)TOTAL199/8 (20 Overs, RR: 9.95)Did not bat: O ThomasFall of wickets: 1-40 (Andre Fletcher, 4.1 ov), 2-83 (Chris Gayle, 6.3 ov), 3-124 (Evin Lewis, 10.6 ov), 4-168 (Lendl Simmons, 14.4 ov), 5-173 (Andre Russell, 15.5 ov), 6-176 (Fabian Allen, 16.5 ov), 7-182 (Nicholas Pooran, 17.4 ov), 8-191 (Darren Bravo, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 bangs it in short again on fifth stump, the extra bounce climbs on Philippe trying to pull over midwicket and a top edge swirls over the ring at midwicket. Simmons settles under this and takes it casually with his palms facing into his chest. Cottrell breaks out the military salute for the first time on the night. 9/19.2 Sportscenter Top 10 Plays here comes Fabian Allen! Poor delivery from Walsh Jr as a knee high full toss on off stump, Finch tries to muscle this back over the non-striker's head aiming for the long-on rope. But Fabian Allen puts on his Superman cape and charges 30 yards to his left from wide long-on and flings himself to take this one-handed with his left hand while sliding to the turf. For anyone who remembers the one-handed catch he took in the CPL in Lauderhill, Florida back in 2016 as a sub fielder, this was a carbon copy of that but instead of taking it square of the wicket as a sweeper he's taken this at long-on. 95/34.1 what a sharp return take! It was going to take something special to remove Marsh and Russell conjures it up! Not a good delivery from Russell, in truth a half-volley on off stump that Marsh creamed but sent it back to Russell at waist height on his left hip. Pure reaction catch but Russell had his hands at the right height ending his follow-through and barely had to move them to pouch this. 46/29.4 Tremendous athleticism and reaction by Pooran! googly lands full on off, Carey tries to tip and run into short midwicket but Pooran is out from behind the stumps in a flash, scoops and fires at the striker's end from five yards away with a direct hit to catch Henriques three inches short of his ground. 100/413.1 straight up in the air, taken at long-off! That ends a painful stay for Carey. A slower ball, wide outside off, takes the toe of the bat as Carey aims down the ground 119/515.3 dragged on! That's should be the game. Full outside off, Wade aims into the leg side again, gets a thick inside edge into the base of off stump 137/616.2 top edge, taken...goes with the short ball, rushes onto Tye as he tries to pull. Takes the glove/top edge and Pooran is able to scoot around 149/718.2 simple catch at long-off...full outside off, lofted down the ground and Allen just had to stand there this time 165/818.4 length ball outside off, driven in the air over cover...Zampa is scampering to make his ground, and the the bat is over the line but in the air!. That's not great running technique from Zampa. Good throw from the deep by Walsh 168/9Extras16 (lb 3, w 13)TOTAL183/9 (20 Overs, RR: 9.15)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Josh Philippe, 0.6 ov), 2-46 (Mitchell Marsh, 4.1 ov), 3-95 (Aaron Finch, 9.2 ov), 4-100 (Moises Henriques, 9.4 ov), 5-119 (Alex Carey, 13.1 ov), 6-137 (Matthew Wade, 15.3 ov), 7-149 (Andrew Tye, 16.2 ov), 8-165 (Jason Behrendorff, 18.2 ov), 9-168 (Adam Zampa, 18.4 ov)
