- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9 Beaton makes no mistake now. Back of a length slower one on off, Charles has a big whoosh. Does not connect it well enough. Holes out to deep midwicket, running in 65/27.2 round-armish quicker one on off, forced down to long-on by Charles. Cooper swoops down on the ball and fires a flat throw. They hare across for the second. Fletcher dives full-length, but the bat bounces up. The bowler collects the throw and disturbs the stumps. Is the bat in the air as the bails come off the groove? Looks tight. The bouncing bat works against Fletcher. Bonus for Knight Riders. Zahid Bassarath, the TV umpire, rules it out 60/117.1 terrible, terrible mix-up! Watson is run-out at the keeper's end. Sammy sinks to his knees at the non-striker's end. Leg-stump full toss, whipped with a flourish over backward square leg. Watson wasn't too keen on the second. Sammy wanted the strike.The hesitation costs Zouks 125/512.3 good length cutter outside off, stops on Hussey and foils his lofted hit. Hussey only chips it into the hands of Umar Akmal at long-off 90/315.3 Bravo hits back and sets off on a celebratory run. Good change-up: Quicker shorter ball, 136ks. Elliott does not have much time to pull it away. Bravo raps the splice of the bat and completes the return catch. Bravo draws level with Tanvir as the leading wicket-taker in the tournament 114/418.5 Beaton celebrates his first wicket of the CPL 2016. Short and climbs on off, Mayers can't get on top of it. He swings and miscues it to long-on 147/6Extras15 (lb 1, nb 1, w 13)TOTAL167/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.35)Fall of wickets: 1-60 (Andre Fletcher, 7.2 ov), 2-65 (Johnson Charles, 8.6 ov), 3-90 (Michael Hussey, 12.3 ov), 4-114 (Grant Elliott, 15.3 ov), 5-125 (Shane Watson, 17.1 ov), 6-147 (Kyle Mayers, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.4 another legcutter, this bounces more and surprises Perkins outside off. He makes a mess of a pull and sends a top-edge to mid-off. The ball is sticking up in the surface. Playing shots isn't easy. Johnson accepts the catch gleefully 30/21.1 Taylor strikes with his first ball! Charles takes a simple catch at backward point. Baz aims a flick across the line. The ball does not come on. He ends up lobbing a leading edge 4/16.1 Sammy nails a direct hit and gets Munro. Gros Islet raises itself to a roar. Back of a length and cramps Ramdin for room, worked to midwicket. Sammy hunts the ball down and hits the stumps to catch Munro short. He had set off, but Ramdin wasn't interested, after taking a couple of steps forward. Another mix-up in the game 38/36.4 Johnson is pumped, as is Sammy. There comes the synchronised chainsaw celebration. Short and wide outside off, instead of belting it away to the boundary, Ramdin cuts it straight to Watson at backward point. Knight Riders left four down 41/49.3 Sammy strikes in his first over for the second game in a row. Soft dismissal. Short and banged on leg, Bravo takes his eyes off the rising ball. He can only glove the pull behind to Fletcher 63/514.3 Johnson comes back and provides Zouks with the key breakthrough. Dug in short and cramps Devcich for room, he pulls and top-edges it to short fine leg. Shillingford settles under the ball 114/618.4 knocked 'em over. Too late for Zouks? Good length, straightens past the outside edge and hits the top of off stump. Narine has done his job 166/7Extras8 (lb 3, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL168/7 (19 Overs, RR: 8.84)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Brendon McCullum, 1.1 ov), 2-30 (William Perkins, 4.4 ov), 3-38 (Colin Munro, 6.1 ov), 4-41 (Denesh Ramdin, 6.4 ov), 5-63 (Dwayne Bravo, 9.3 ov), 6-114 (Anton Devcich, 14.3 ov), 7-166 (Sunil Narine, 18.4 ov)
