    5.2 Fuller length outside off, it hung in the air for a while and he spoons it straight to the man at cover inside the ring. Alzarri Joseph makes an impact straightaway and I wonder he is introduced so late today. Clarke takes the catch comfortably as Kings draw first blood 44/1

    9.3 Round the wicket, tossed up and angling into his body, takes a step outside the crease and miscues it to Royal at backward point. That's a poor shot. He admonishes himself for mistiming it, got a start but couldn't push on. Chase gets the breakthrough in his first over. He went for the big hit without quite sizing up Chase and duly perishes, lost his shape and is caught in the ring. 68/2
    11.1 Castled! Bowls at a teasing length and gets it to turn from outside off, he springs down the track in a big to clobber it over midwicket but ends up making a horrible mess of his stumps as the ball rip through the stumps and Chase gets his second. The quick succession of wickets has certainly stymied the run-flow 84/3
    19.5 Forde gets the big fish and they both a fiery exchange of words. Forde flummoxes him with a slow yorker and disturbs the furniture. Imad was trying to sweep that but couldn't connect on this occasion. 200/4
    19.6 Shorter ball slammed into the pitch outside off, fended towards midwicket across the line and Allen is short of his crease at the striker's end, responding late to the call as they get an imposing total on the board 201/5

    2.6 Green pouches an absolute screamer running back at mid-off and keeping his eyes locked on the ball, dives and makes sure it doesn't pops out. Julien departs early in the piece and St Lucia Kings find themselves in a spot of bother. This is turning out to be a game-changing spell from Amir! Two wickets in the over 15/2
    2.1 Disconsolate after perishing on five! That's a scorching thunderbolt on a length and it jags back just enough to sneak through the gap between bat and pad, sounds the death rattle and Amir is pumped up, brings out a rather unique celebration pointing with both hands to leave the crease. Amir gets the breakthrough straight away. What a cracking delivery! 10/1
    5.2 Tossed up from round the wicket, gives this plenty of flight, and gets it to straighten, targets his knee roll and beats his flick. A vociferous appeal follows and the umpire nods in agreement. Rajapaksa has sent it upstairs but he is just hoping against hope, three reds, plumblest of the lbws and Green gets his man on the second delivery of his first over. A massive breakthrough as the asking rate already shoots up to 10.77 and it is only going to get tougher with wickets continuing to tumble 44/3
    8.1 Flighted gently outside off and he lofts it straight into the hands of long on! Not much oomph behind the shot What is St. Lucia Kings doing? It's one thing losing the game but this is total surrender akin to Sri Lanka's horror show against India in the Asia Cup final earlier today. Well, you can't keep Green out of the game, he hangs onto it brilliantly in the deep. 53/6
    5.3 Is that another wicket? Green is on fire. Williams decides against reviewing it and another one perishes. Williams goes without troubling the scorers. Once again looped up delivery, wicket to wicket stuff, not giving enough room to free arms and gets it to turn ever so slightly, he tries to poke at it and plays down the wrong line. Another strong appeal and umpire, after taking his time, raises the dreaded finger. This is not looking for good for St Lucia Kings as captain walks out on the pitch. Remember, Munro isn't available so not a lot to come after this 44/4
    7.2 Tallawahs are getting wickets at will! Tossed up on middle, bottom hand came off as he slog sweep it in the air and Springer tracks the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand at deep backward deep square 49/5

    9.4 Key player gets key player! Bamboozles Munro with an accurate delivery speared into the stumps and Munro plays a wild hoick across the line and looks to be struggling with his side strain holding his thigh as he starts to take the long walk back into the pavilion. Green punches the air in ecstasy and he registers his best figures in CPL. He has been unplayable today. It also has to do with the scoreboard pressure, batters trying to go big and put him under pressure but the tactic has backfired big time. Who is going to win POTM award, Hales or Green? 57/7
    14.6 Horrible mix-up in the middle and the fielder chucks a sharp throw to the keeper who quickly whips off the bails, Royal is not even in the frame as Tallawahs register an emphatic win over Kings. Green picks up four wickets and triggered the collapse. Amir was sensational once again, picked up two vital scalps in his opening burst that took the wind out of Kings' sails. All in all, it was a very strong bowling performance from Tallawahs and an equally domineering performance with the bat earlier - just the kind of win they would have wanted before the playoffs 79/10
    14.1 Forde miscues the skier and is on his way! Springer pockets the catch low down at long-on. That was hit well but he got more elevation than distance. Shot was on but hit him low on the blade 79/8
    14.3 Squealing for an lbw and given! That looks stone dead. He plants his front leg with the foot pointing towards mid-off, brings the bat down in a big to sweep it away but can't quite execute the shot. He goes for the review but looks like his fate is already sealed. Three reds and starts to take the walk back in the hut 79/9
