- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.4 James dares to hit against the wind and holes out to mid-on! Fullish and outside off, the ball isn't coming onto the bat. James aims to force it away over the leg side against the wind. But he can't even clear Young at mid-on. Early strike from Holder and Royals 11/14.4 McCoy strikes back to get rid of Fakhar! Pitched-up delivery outside off, it was in Fakhar's arc to hit, but he finds CPL debutant Wellalage in the off-side infield. Good, low catch from Wellalage at extra-cover. It's a clean catch. Welcome to the CPL, Dunith 37/26.1 Oh hello! Wellalage strikes with his first ball in the CPL. Billings charges at the spinner first ball. Wellalage sees the advancing batter, drags his length back and gets it to grip and turn past the bat outside off. De Kock rides the bounce and takes the bails off 42/317.2 Dipping low full toss denies Andrew his fifty. 112ks around off, Andrew tried to drive through mid-off, toed it into the pitch and back onto the stumps. That's a bowler's wicket in T20s 122/87.3 edged and taken by de Kock! Soft as wax. Pitched up and holds its line outside off from left-arm over the wicket. Cutter from McCoy. Wasim drives and nicks it behind to the keeper as Falcons continue to stumble 47/410.5 Lbw shout. Looked tight. Theekshana looks confident, Powell reviews. Pommie Mbangwa thinks it might be sliding down leg. Length ball landing on leg, looked to have straightened off the pitch. Didn't bounce as much as Springer expected. The back foot was in the crease and he had a half-stride forward, he tried pulling it but had to bend forward and crank the hands down. Ball skidded through past bat and hit him just over the back knee, so height unlikely to be an issue. Guess what, it isn't, nor is the direction cos that's smashing leg stump. 74/515.4 Green charges again, but Naveen goes into the pitch and has his man! He went wide too, which meant Green had to drag it across as he wanted to clear long-on. The flat-bat hit wasn't middled and Powell didn't have to move much. Was a cutter from wide of the crease, would've been wide had it been left. Bottom hand came off upon impact. 115/616.2 Allen can't clear deep square leg despite hitting with the wind. 98ks, bashed into the pitch around the six-metre mark. Allen was deep in the crease, got square-on and had a huge swipe. Big back-lift, long follow-through, neither enough. First time he's been dismissed this comp. Billings grimacing in the dugout 118/719.1 Holder goes into the pitch, keeps it wide and uses the wind to get rid of Walsh. Was on a length, an aerial square cut went off the upper-half of the bat and Naveen, running in, took it easily. Replay shows it was off the toe of the bat 142/9Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL145/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.25)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Kofi James, 1.4 ov), 2-37 (Fakhar Zaman, 4.4 ov), 3-42 (Sam Billings, 6.1 ov), 4-47 (Imad Wasim, 7.3 ov), 5-74 (Shamar Springer, 10.5 ov), 6-115 (Chris Green, 15.4 ov), 7-118 (Fabian Allen, 16.2 ov), 8-122 (Jewel Andrew, 17.2 ov), 9-142 (Hayden Walsh, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.3 caught at long-on. Fabian Allen is safe as houses and this is a dolly. Imad does well, providing the wicket they so desperately needed. Pace off the ball. Fielders allowed to go back to the boundary. Cornwall looks to clear them, taking on a tossed up delivery on middle, doesn't succeed 80/1Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL149/1 (15.3 Overs, RR: 9.61)Fall of wickets: 1-80 (Rahkeem Cornwall, 6.3 ov)
