4:54pm Not quite the 200-plus score the Strikers seemed primed for, especially when Angelo Perera and Phillips were smashing it to all parts. But it still feels a decent total to have on the board and does give them something to work with. Phillips, like he has been all season, was superb, with Perera also doing his bit till the time he retired hurt. The mid-innings collapse, though, really pulled the Strikers down, and that could yet prove a pivotal passage of play.

Allen was the pick of the Kings' bowling bunch and was supported ably by Omarzai. The rest took a bit of tap, though. That said, they will not mind chasing 189 on a track that has seemed good for batting and where stroke-play has not been a massive problem. If they can get to that score, well, that is another matter altogether. Join us in a bit for the run-chase!
