12.28 pm Chris Gayle's decision to bowl first seemed to have paid rich dividends after the first 20 overs of this game. Hasan Ali and Nabi were terrific in the middle and end overs, and did not allow Amazon Warriors to finish big. Walton was brilliant in parts, but he fell just as Guyana looked to accelerate. The pitch looks okay to bat, credit goes to the Patriots bowlers instead. They bowled in the right areas and varied their length and line to good effect. Nikhil will be back with the chase soon. See you on the other side.
Walton says the Amazon Warriors are about "20 runs short".

Cottrell to Rashid Khan, 1 bye, Cottrell finishes with a maiden. Slower ball outside off stump that Rashid cannot connect with. An awkward bounce in front of the keeper induces a misfield and the batsmen can steal a run. A good come back for Cottrell after two expensive overs at the top

Cottrell to Sohail Tanvir, OUT, panic and miscommunication galore here. short outside off stump and he misses the drive, Rashid Khan - the non-striker - runs through for byes but Tanvir was in his crease ball watching. Both batsmen were at the strikers end and Cottrell is aware at the non strikers end. Flicks the bails and that's a gone-r

Cottrell to Paul, OUT, what an incredible catch! short on middle stump and the pull shot is not connected well at all. He cleared the front leg but finds the bat's bottom edge, Jon Carter in the deep covered a lot of ground before diving forward. The ball was dipping but he held onto it. Another dot, this is like gold dust

Cottrell to Paul, no run, short outside off stump and the quicker ball enforces the miss from the batsman. Tries to cut it but the ball was past him before he knew it.

W
Cottrell to Walton, OUT, short on middle stump and the natural angle of the delivery brings the ball into the batsman, he looks to make room and tries to slog that onto the off side but finds the outside edge of his bat instead. A skyer that goes to third man, who takes the catch inches away from the boundary. Walton goes for a well made 60.

Hasan Ali to Walton, 1 run, Extraordinary athleticism from the wicketkeeper, short outside off stump and the batsman charges at it, his slash does not come off as he wants it to be and the inside edge takes the ball past the stumps to the keeper's left. He has to dive, and he saves a certain boundary. Lots of variation in this Hasan over

Hasan Ali to Paul, 2 runs, In the air! But safe, slow and short-pitched outside off stump, he was through with the shot too early and the slog sends the ball into the skies. It falls short of deep fine leg and deep mid wicket

Hasan Ali to Walton, 1 run, Innovation from the batsman but that does not pay off. Full and wide outside off stump, the batsman moves to his right to paddle the ball down the leg side. Can't connect to it properly and the paddle hits his pad, the ball dribbles through and allows the batsmen to run for a quick single.

Hasan Ali to Walton, no run, full and wide outside off stump, the ball lands just inside the wide-line, the batsman thought about a slog but let the ball go. Looked a bit disappointed that the umpire did not signal that as a wide

Badree to Walton, SIX, he gets the connection this time. Full on middle stump and plays that inside out with Badree's legspin. Clears deep extra cover with ease. That shot was worth a photograph

Hasan Ali to Taylor, OUT, full on middle stump and Taylor looks for a big shot. The pressure was building and he looked for his release shot. Looked like he connected the ball well but he hits it into the wind to the leg side. Enough hang time on the ball and the sweeper fielder on the leg side takes the catch. The fielder did well there, he was looking straight into the sun

Run rate less than six once again. Any predictions on how much they will finish on?
