END OF OVER:
20 | 25 Runs | GAW: 178/9 | RR: 8.90

  • Shimron Hetmyer45 (20b)
  • Imran Tahir5 (2b)
  • Sheldon Cottrell4-0-53-0
  • Dominic Drakes3-0-27-2

4.56pm Hetmyer gets a few hugs as he goes back to the pavilion. What a show he put on in the end with his 45 from 20. King and Pooran gave the Warriors a strong start with their quick innings, but at one point it looked like they wouldn't even reach 150 because they crumbled to 129 for 6. Hetmyer, pushed down the order today, wasn't even getting strike towards the end of the innings, and once he did, he absolutely smoked it around. 25 from the last over, 12 from the penultimate. Cottrell finishes with 53 from his four. Peter will be with you for the chase soon enough.

Naseem: I work hard on every ball, slower ball, length ball or yorker. The wicket is good so we can chase this

Ahsan Butt: "HITmyer!!"

James Iyer: "Not sure what surprises me more, the total Guyana have managed to reach, or Imran Tahir driving through covers!"

Stefan Mohamed: "I wanted 36 from the final over. But, 25 would do."

Cottrell to Hetmyer, SIX, make that three in a row! He's hitting them all around the park, such clean hitting from Hetmyer. Back of length towards the tumps and he heaves it high and a long way over the long-on boundary for a massive strike

17 from the over already, two to go. Back over the wicket

19.4

Cottrell to Hetmyer, SIX, six more, this time over the third man boundary! Too full and wide, going for the wide yorker, and Hetmyer reaches out to the off side to scythe that over short third man, and all the way!

Around the wicket now

Cottrell to Imran Tahir, FOUR, he doesn't need a single, he has driven that away for four through the covers! Too full outside off, and he pounces on that length to drill it through the covers

One wicket, six balls, Cottrell to Tahir from around the wicket . He'd want to take a single

Prashant Sharma: "What is this with Players after becoming captain not bowling at all. Bravo is such an amazing death bowler. He did not even try to bowl one over. "

Drakes to Naveen-ul-Haq, OUT, what a catch from Rutherford in the deep! but looks like he's hurt himself as well while diving for it. The umpires go up for the replays and the soft signal is out. Naveen pulled the short ball away into the leg side, and Rutherford sprinted towards the ball from the boundary, from deep midwicket, and on first replay it looks like he might have got his fingers under the ball. I'll concede that it's not 100% clear that the ball didn't touch the ground at all as the fingers came under it, but there's no evidence to overturn the decision for sure. Looks more out than not out

Naveen-ul-Haq c Rutherford b Drakes 10 (18m 11b 1x4 0x6) SR: 90.90

Drakes to Hetmyer, SIX, full toss this time and he's swung it around for six behind square! Attempted yorker gone wrong, it headed for the stumps, and is Hetmyer going to leave a full toss like that
18.3

Drakes to Hetmyer, FOUR, he was waiting for the short ball inside the crease on the back foot, and then slams the shot of length ball over the covers for four in the gap

Hetmyer finally gets strike, will he farm it?

Drakes to Naveen-ul-Haq, no run, 109.3kmh, really clever slow and short ball that rises towards the batter from back of length and beats him completely

Do they attack with Cottrell or give him the last? It's time for Drakes, who has had a better day

Naseem Shah to Naveen-ul-Haq, 2 runs, two dives in one ball! One from the fielder, another from the batter. Naveen edges the ball late between the keeper and short third man but Chris Gayle dives to his left and gets a hand to it to save two. In comes the throw and Naveen has quickly come back for the second with a full length dive

Temba : "I love how much Naseem is enjoying himself" He is almost always smiling

Naseem Shah to Naveen-ul-Haq, no run, it's all happening here - the full toss has been reverse swept in the air briefly and it reaches a cemented Chris Gayle at short third man after a bounce. Tries another yorker but didn't get it right

Usama: "150 would be decent from here. Too much counting on hetmeyr"

Fawad Ahmed to Naveen-ul-Haq, 2 runs, dropped by short leg! He flicks it to the leg side, short leg stretches his left hand out, gets to it but can't hold on. He picks the ball up, and unnecessarily throws it into the ground in frustration which gives the batter two runs. Fawad is perplexed

Fawad Ahmed to Sinclair, OUT, is this a Test match or what? He's caught at short leg. Oh my, replays show he had not hit it at all. On length on middle, Sinclair closed the face of the bat to turn it leg, the ball lobbed off the front pad before being caught at short leg. They all go up, so does the finger, but there was no edge

Naseem Shah to Shepherd, OUT, it's a direct hit at the non-striker's end, Naseem thinks it's out, the crowd is excited, Shepherd is walking back already! He drove the slow and full cutter from outside off to the right of mid-off, and Bravo swooped in, picked it up in a flash and had a shy at the stumps before Shepherd could stretch and make it back

R Shepherd run out 1 (4m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
