Thanks for joining us for the first game. Stick around for the next one - Jamaica Tallawahs v Barbados Tridents. See you soon.
Man of the Match, Chris Gayle: Happy Independence to Jamaica, I love you still. We had a slow start but we knew 130-140 would be enough. Credit to the bowlers, they pulled this off for us.It was a bit unusual (to bat through). I didn't get the momentum. But there's always room for improvement. We'll go strong from here.
2:35pm A vicious unravelling that will take some time to get over for the bowling team. A second loss in a row for the Warriors. It shouldn't have been, but it is. They were even helped along by some ordinary fielding, but they've managed to do snatch defeat.

Brathwaite to Rashid Khan, no run, but not today! Rashid Khan gets down to try and find the fine leg boundary but he cannot get bat on it. It's not a particularly good ball - overpitched on leg stump. Rashid goes for the audacious and it doesn't come off. Brathwaite wheels towards the ball to make sure they don't run four - he's not letting this go. He's done it.
Rashid Khan needs to get 4 off the last ball. He can hit it.

Brathwaite to Permaul, OUT, another run out! Tanvir is gone! Devon thomas, without taking the gloves off again! This is a length ball angled down leg. He looks to flick but this bisects his legs and flies through to the keeper who gathers, takes aim, and has Tanvir out with a direct hit. Third wicket of the last over
Sohail Tanvir run out 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Brathwaite to Singh, OUT, laps it onto his stumps! Length ball going away from off stump, backs away and tries to get under it to try and lift it over short fine. Gets bat on it, straight onto the stumps

Brathwaite to Sohail Tanvir, 1 run, waits for it this time. Anticipates the line and gets a length ball there - outside off. But he can't do more than bunt this to long-off

Brathwaite to Sohail Tanvir, no run, well bowled. Angled across off stump at a length. Tanvir is not even close as he swings across the line. Misses it completely and they won't run this time

Brathwaite to Singh, 1 wide, OUT, a wide. So wide. Full toss, might have been sent into the stands if it wasn't so wide. But it leads to a run-out! They try to steal the single and get two off zero. But Thomas is up quickly and doesn't even need to take off his glove as he fires over-arm and takes the stumps down

Brathwaite to Emrit, 1 run, a yorker at off stump, looks to drill this, but he can't get the middle of the bat. It rolls towards long-off. But Chris Gayle, of all people, dives to his right and makes sure this is kept to one. Good work
8 off 6. Brathwaite is known for last-over exploits of the batting kind. Now he has the ball. And a million thoughts as he discusses the field with captain Chris Gayle, whom he leads at the international level.

Hasan Ali to Emrit, 1 run, length ball swinging in at off stump, front leg out of the way and slog connected nicely. Gets it in between deep square and deep midwicket to come back for the second

Hasan Ali to Singh, 1 leg bye, good length outside leg, looks to flick, cops it on the pad and it's a single in front of short fine

Hasan Ali to Emrit, 1 leg bye, late reverse swing again! Good length and coming in sharply. He swipes across this and is struck outside the line. Big, despairing appeal from the bowler because this looks plumb. But it's fantastic decision - he was struck outside

Hasan Ali to Emrit, FOUR, sweeeeeeet! Back of a length at off stump, opens up his stance slightly, goes deep in the crease. He knew where this would be pitched. Gets in a nice swing at it and deposits the pull on the bounce to the square leg boundary

Hasan Ali to Emrit, 2 runs, back of a length, late reverse into the batsman who goes for the pull. It's too quick for him. It's jammed into the pitch and gives him enough time to come back for the second against deep midwicket's throw. Only just. Third umpire called for again.

Hasan Ali to Singh, 1 run, full toss, swerving away from off stump. A full-blooded swipe connects sweetly, but it's along the floor, straight to deep midwicket

Cottrell to Singh, 1 run, full outside off stump, goes for the drive through the off side. Goes too hard. Gets a thick outside edge down to third man

Cottrell to Singh, 2 runs, full outside off stump, lifted nicely, but only on the bounce to long-on. They come back for the second. The non-striker does it comfortably. Singh isn't as comfortable at the other end. Cottreel takes the thrown on the bounce, one-handed, and swiftly switches to aim at the other end and gets in a direct hit. The bowling team is excited, but third umpire has a straightforward not-out decision

Cottrell to Paul, OUT, got him! Back of a length at middle stump. Makes room and swats at it, but the bounce is too much for him. Cramped awkwardly in the end, he can only manage an outside edge that the keeper takes comfortably

Cottrell to Singh, 3 runs, good length outside off stump, slashes on the up to deep point's right...where it's superman, Allen, who misfields. Then fires the throw halfway down the pitch and gives away a second extra run. Devon Thomas, the keeper, is livid
