Props to crowd who stayed right till the end and deserved a full game. Hopefully, they'll be back for the double-header tomorrow and have plenty of entertainment. With that, we conclude our coverage. Thank you for your company. On behalf of Binoy George, this is Rvel Zahid waving goodbye.

Handshakes all-around and the second match of the double-header also ends with a No-Result. Teams share points. Saint Lucia Kings sit at top of the table with three points with a solid NRR of 1.075

Fans are watching keenly and haven't left their seats yet. The cheerleaders are doing their best to keep the fans' spirits up in this rain-marred game. The umpires are having a chat with Darren Sammy and Imran Tahir.

The Warriors have posted a pretty decent score on this pitch. They started off slowly, but then Saim Ayub and Azam Khan found their groove and hit an array of boundaries. Saint Lucia will need 59 runs to win. Unfortunately, the rain has arrived again; let's hope it clears away quickly so we can get a result. Game needs to start by 22:49pm and the DLS revised target is 59 but looks like there is a fleeting prospect of more play with all the covers being brought on

McAllister to Azam Khan, OUT, Timberrrrrrrrr! Azam perishes as he walks across his stumps and makes a mess of his stumps. McAllister picks up his first wicket and only concedes seven in the last over. The debutant has a big broad smile on his face and punches the air ecstasy!

McAllister to Azam Khan, no run, Is that going to be another wide? Azam Khan waiting for the signal but umpire thinks otherwise. Short ball well wide of off and he goes hard at it

McAllister to Azam Khan, 1 wide, Gets off the radar, persisting with the short stuff and mixing it up but got it marginally wrong, curling away outside the guideline on off

McAllister to Saim Ayub, 1 run, Climbing through from back of a length, he tries to blaze that towards square leg, it deflects off his shoulder towards short third region

An extra fielder has been brought up inside the ring. A penalty for slow over rate and Du Plessis is clearly not pleased with it. He is telling the umpires about the damp conditions and looking quite animated but clearly not winning the debate. There is still one extra fielder outside the ring so deep point comes in. Lots of confusion out there

Joseph to Azam Khan, SIX, He is turning it on big time! Ends his spell with a golf shot that goes way over long-on and midwicket for a six. Employs a classical shot to finish the over on a high. Just took a few deliveries to get into his groove

Joseph to Azam Khan, FOUR, That will run away for four! Takes the pace off the ball and pitches it on a length down the leg side, he yanks his front leg out of the way and gets a top edge that balloons up, one bouncer over the rope at deep fine leg. Useful runs!
