9.41 pm Chris Gayle carried his bat through the innings but could only score at a strike-rate of 105 despite scoring 54. The captain Bravo introduced himself into the attack as the sixth bowler, but finished with a four-for. Too many dot balls played by Patriots and that leaves them with a half-baked total of 149. Will Trinbago be able to chase 150? We'll find out very soon. Coming up: the chase.
