    6.1 stumped by a mile! Maharaj senses King is coming at it and shortens his length, bowling it just outside off. King continues his advance anyway but is not to the pitch of the ball. Has a wild slog at it and the ball turns enough to go past his bat. de Kock does the rest, and Keshav Maharaj makes an instant impact! 55/1

    17.2 rolls onto the stumps, somehow! Holder goes for the yorker at the stumps. Does not quite nail it but gets it full enough to prevent Billings from getting under it. Billings swung at it hard and seemed to jam it off the inside edge into his pads. The ball then pin-balled a little before ultimately dribbling into the stumps. Holder punches the air in delight - this could be a big wicket with less than three overs left! 147/2
    17.6 nicked and gone! Holder has another! Hard length on off and this whistles off the surface. Allen has a mow across the line but the extra pace causes him all sorts of problems. Only manages a feather through to the keeper, and Holder roars in delight. A sensational over to round off his spell, and another reiteration of why he is such a prized player in the CPL! 150/3
    18.4 Green falls! Length delivery way outside off again. Green looks to crash it over cover but the ball is just too wide for him to middle it. Gets a thick outside edge that de Kock snaffles up sharply to his right. That was there to be hit, truth be told and Naveen was maybe a little lucky to get away with it! 158/4
    18.6 a wicket to end what was otherwise an indifferent over for the Royals! Slot ball outside off. Primus has to stretch for it and that means he does not get the elevation he desires. Plenty of power on it but Holder, with his bucket hands, is behind the trajectory of the ball at long off. No mistake made and the Falcons lose their fifth! 164/5

    1.1 soft dismissal, and Cornwall departs for a duck! Tossed up on a length on middle and leg. Cornwall looks to go over mid off but does not get the contact he is after. Clinks it tamely to mid off, who makes no mistake. Green is delighted and that is just the start the Falcons would have wanted! 1/1
    11.4 Primus gets de Kock and he has the last laugh! Sharp bumper on leg stump and de Kock will be disappointed at having missed out. Seems to be a touch rushed into the stroke, meaning that he gloves it, rather tamely, to the keeper. Easy catch for Billings and that could be a crucial moment in the game! 93/3
    9.5 oh dear - catastrophe for the Barbados Royals! Length ball well outside off. de Kock shapes for the lap and hits it into his pads. The ball rolls away towards Billings and both batters decide to go for the single. Athanaze and de Kock, though, end up running into each other mid-pitch, which gives Billings the time to take aim at the batter's end and throw down the stumps. de Kock apologizes but nothing can be done now. The Royals in a spot of bother! 73/2
