- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.4 follows the slower ball with the heat and it wipes out off stump! Charles never really got his feet moving at any time during his stay in the middle, Cottrell hoops it in full and straight and an ugly hoick across the line results in Charles walking back to the tented dugout. 8/12.3 another dreadful shot and the champs are three down! Tanvir kept mixing up his pace to keep Hope flustered, he charges down the pitch and tries to slam a back of a length ball over cover, is struggling to reach the ball and skies it off the toe of the bat to Lewis in the covers for his second catch. 8/31.6 limp poke to point! Two in the over for the solider! Short and wide on sixth stump, Anderson goes back to play a cut but with little gusto and a catch is gleefully taken at head height by Evin Lewis, who didn't have to move. 8/27.2 driven flat to cover sweeper! He's out there to cut off the boundary into a single, but Emrit has managed to turn a bad ball into a wicket through a touch of good fortune. Length ball that Mayers carved on the up, didn't get much more than 10 feet off the ground, but hit it so hard that it managed to carry to Hamilton, who struts in five yards to take a rib height catch. 69/412.2 another half-tracker outside off, Holder shuffles across to get in line but miscues this flat to long-on where Ben Dunk swivels his hips to take this over the shoulder in the corner of the endzone, or is it a mark for the Aussie? Choose your cross-sport catching analogy but he takes it well at neck height across his body a yard (or a metre for those Dunk fans following down under) inside the rope. Taking it in the manner he did allowed the steam to come off it instead of trying to line it up facing it head on. Excellent technique. 101/77.3 tries to pinch a single to get off the mark, but Lewis has been all over the place in the field in the first hour. He pounces on this charging in from backward point and throws down the stumps at the non-striker's end with the batsman a half-yard short. A fantasy cricket fielding MVP already! His runs at the start of the chase will be a bonus after the day he's had so far. 69/59.2 deep square leg comes into play with another somewhat unusual boundary catch. Length ball on the stumps, Reifer hammers this pull flat, similar to the Mayers wicket this one never got more than 10-15 feet or so above the turf and Cottrell is perfectly positioned on the leg side rope to snatch this at head height. 10 yards to the left or right and it's screeching over for six. 79/616.1 slower ball from Tanvir suckers Santner into a tame lofted drive to extra cover in the ring. Emrit has had a nightmare fielding along the ground today but has no problem taking that floater at head height. 128/914.4 short on the legs, swivels to pull this and laces a rocket straight to Chris Lynn at square leg. The cue ball Aussie leaps up and takes it two-handed over his head for a sensational reaction catch in the ring. 116/8Extras15 (lb 8, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL153/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Johnson Charles, 1.4 ov), 2-8 (Corey Anderson, 1.6 ov), 3-8 (Shai Hope, 2.3 ov), 4-69 (Kyle Mayers, 7.2 ov), 5-69 (Jonathan Carter, 7.3 ov), 6-79 (Raymon Reifer, 9.2 ov), 7-101 (Jason Holder, 12.2 ov), 8-116 (Ashley Nurse, 14.4 ov), 9-128 (Mitchell Santner, 16.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.3 short on the stumps, Da Silva goes back to punch back down the pitch and hits the non-striker stumps to dislodge one bail and knock off stump over. Rashid runs back and fields to knock off the bail from middle and leg still standing. He does it clumsily to a degree as the ball is sliding out of his hand but it does contact the stumps with Lewis short scrambling back at the non-striker's end. A very unorthodox runout at the non-striker's end. Not often you see one bail stay on after a shot clangs into the stumps. Otherwise Rashid would've had to yank a stump out with ball in hand to effect the runout. 39/24.4 dug into the pitch on a good length on off, Lynn slaps at this flat-footed trying to clear cover but skews this to point where Walsh Jr. jogs right and this time with his arms extended (instead of tucked into his body on the earlier drop) takes an easy catch in stride. 30/112.2 floated full on off, Dunk skies this drive off the toe of the bat. It sails a mile high to long-on where Mayers circles under and takes a simple catch 10 yards in from the rope. 89/317.2 Walsh Jr shows his catching prowess once more at deep midwicket! Ramdin goes to slog sweep a full ball off middle. Walsh Jr was cheating in 15 yards off the rope. He has to backtrack while covering 20 yards going to his right before leaping full extension to take this parallel to the ground at waist height. 8/10 for Walsh Jr's standards, but far trickier for mere mortals to pull off. 124/417.3 one brings two! The failure to swap strike with the ball in the air the previous delivery means Hamilton has to face the music and is out of tune trying to keep a zippy, skiddy googly out, beaten playing back with a tame waft across. 124/5Extras12 (lb 5, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL147/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Chris Lynn, 4.4 ov), 2-39 (Evin Lewis, 6.3 ov), 3-89 (Ben Dunk, 12.2 ov), 4-124 (Denesh Ramdin, 17.2 ov), 5-124 (Jahmar Hamilton, 17.3 ov)
