It was a see-sawing contest in the end: Tallawahs were dominating 12 overs into the chase, when they needed 40 from 48 balls with eight wickets in hand. Holder hit back with through multiple strikes, with Royals having recovered from 47 for 4 earlier. Thanks for joining us today, as a tight game comes to an end. Until tomorrow, it is good night and goodbye from Ranjith, Srinidhi and me, Himanshu!

Imad Wasim is the Player of the Match: "Today was a good game for both teams. [Worried] slightly... We knew Rovman was in. He is the right guy. I know him since 2015 - lovely chap, one of the best players in the world..."

2.32pm So Tallawahs win by six runs via DLS, as the umpires have concluded that there will be no play as rain continues. This means Royals suffer first defeat of the season.

2.30pm There is still no sign of play in Port of Spain, as rain falls steadily. Remember, Tallawahs will win by six runs via DLS method if no play is possible from here.

Steve: "So, is it the case that if play had been suspended a mere 3 balls earlier Royals would have pulled off a spectacular win (assuming no more play)?" --- Who knows, but Tallawahs did manage a crucial nine runs off those three balls...

2.09pm It is pouring and pounding, as we keep waiting for the action to resume. Looks like a long delay is inevitable.

Tyrell: "Jangoo and King's innings at the top really came in clutch and shows the importance of a good start especially in chases like this."

Bibek Pokharel: "Jamaica tallawahs wins By 6 Runs ????" --- Hmmm... Unless rain stops and there is more drama on the field

1.58pm Simmonds back for his third, as it gets dark and gloomy. And covers come on... Tallawahs six runs ahead of the DLS par score, so that six from Powell playing a big role should there be no further play. And like during the previous rain break, it is time to again take you to Sheriff vs United. Ronaldo has scored after all...

Afeef: "BR showing why they've been unbeatable this season, making a match out of what looked like a lost cause"

Join Srinidhi for the chase, as an undefeated Royals defend 147 against second-placed Tallawahs.

Imad: "A very good score... we back our team. The wicket is getting better. We lost yesterday, and we sat together. It was demoralising. We tried our best here. That is only half the job done"

James: "Strange captaincy form Rovman. Imad didn't manage to complete his quota when he has been the pick of the bowlers in this match"

Chris: "Miller has been different class this year. His T20 win percentage must be high. This is probably the best I've ever seen him play "

11.44am From 47 for 4 in the tenth over to 146 for 6 after 20: Royals' South African pair of de Kock and Miller in a rescue act to give their side a more-than-respectable score on a slow, sluggish pitch. A partnership of 83 off 57 balls, as Tallawahs will think they have conceded more than what they would liked. Imad Wasim took 3 for 14, but strangely enough, didn't bowl his quota.

Gordon to Holder, 2 runs, yorker angling in. as Holder flings his bat and gets one off the inside half of the bat to deep midwicket

Final ball...

19.5
W
Gordon to de Kock, OUT, taken by extra cover running back! This is full and very wide of off, as de Kock has to reach out for it to try and loft. He ends up playing far away from his body, and so mistimes his loft. Good catch by Reifer there, but what an innings de Kock has played. He has given Royals more than what they could have asked for when he arrived

Q de Kock c Reifer b Gordon 74 (75m 43b 7x4 3x6) SR: 172.09

Powell and Gordon change the field now...

Gordon to de Kock, SIX, this is why he didn't take the run last ball! Absolutely crashed. That lands in the second tier. Short delivery outside off, and he hammers that pull over deep midwicket. The ball cranks on the building, and falls back on the field
19.3

Gordon to de Kock, no run, doesn't take a single, ah! Shortish ball on middle and leg, and swung to deep square leg
19.2
6
Gordon to de Kock, SIX, smashed in between long-on and deep midwicket! Clears his front leg to that fullish ball on middle - it was close to the slot to facilitate a slog - as de Kock went across the line and heaved that flat

Jack Dyer: "18.2 - what's the point in having wide lines if umpires give balls bouncing inside the line as wide?" --- Human error...

Gordon to Holder, 1 run, good ball. Yorker length on fifth stump, as he swung but got that off the inside half of the bat towards short fine leg

Gordon will bowl the final over

Over the wicket to new man Holder

W
Mohammad Amir to Miller, OUT, ramped to deep third! Amir used pace on the ball this time, after bowling slower deliveries throughout this over. He went short and outside off, as Miller upper cut it late. The ball went quickly to the man positioned slightly wider than the usual deep third, as he went running to his right to take it. A calm innings comes to an end, with Miller playing rescuer here

Mohammad Amir to Miller, 1 wide, this is certainly wide. Miller dances down to this dipping full toss wide of off, and misses

Mohammad Amir to Miller, no run, a low full toss on off, and drilled to extra cover. Miller fails to find the gap
18.2
1
Mohammad Amir to de Kock, 1 run, this could have been wide again had he left alone. Slower ball on a fullish length, and on an imaginary tenth stump outside off. de Kock reaches out for it before fending to deep third with his bottom hand off
18.2
1w
Mohammad Amir to de Kock, 1 wide, another wide from Amir, but this is a harsh call on first glance. Very full - and a yorker length - and in fact inside the line. Ah, wrong call there
18.1
1
Mohammad Amir to Miller, 1 run, yorker angling in sharply, and taking Miller's inside edge towards short fine leg, as he tries to flick

Amir into his final over. He has 0 for 16 so far.

Pretorius to de Kock, SIX, second six in the over! This time de Kock gets bat on ball for the maximum. Short delivery on leg, and he waited before pulling over deep square leg, and clearing the short boundary
17.5

Pretorius to de Kock, no run, swing and a miss. On a fullish length and just outside off with a change of pace. de Kock was in the mood to deposit that outside the ground, but didn't connect

Pretorius to de Kock, 1 wide, wide outside leg. Much fuller line, as de Kock went whacking but missed
17.3

Pretorius to de Kock, FOUR, gets across and scoops over short fine leg! Good length ball wide of off, and he uses the pace of the bowler to simply loft without much effort
17.2
1lb
Pretorius to Miller, 1 leg bye, change of pace on a hard length, and angling into leg. He is hit on his leg as he missed his pull. The ball trickles to the off side, and they pinch a leg bye

The ball seems to have been lost there...

17.1
6
Pretorius to Miller, SIX, full toss on middle and leg, and bashed over deep midwicket! Miller is sitting deep in the crease - and perhaps Pretorius missed his yorker - as he went tonking at that in typical Miller style

Madan: "Where are the sixes?" --- Loading...
