Patriots still mathematically in, but only ever so slightly. Knight Riders will have to lose both their games for Patriots to have a chance. Anyway, thanks for your company tonight, as await the second of the double-headers today. See you!

Kyle Mayers, winning captain: "It was a good win. We lost crucial members. It speaks volumes of the bench: Young and Mujeeb. David [Miller] left a well-oiled machine... everybody knows their role. We dedicate this win to Barbados. To get a win is very special."

Dwayne Bravo, Patriots' captain: "I don't think this season sums up... We haven't played good allround cricket. It is not surprising we finish where we finish now. [Cottrell] getting to full fitness is good for West Indies cricket. It is good he had a very good performance today. Evin is a quality player. He has been training hard. In the optional training, he was there... Most important thing is to keep preparing.

Azam Khan is the Player of the Match: "Credit goes to Trevor [Penny, the coach]. The pitch was on the slower side... I stayed there till the end. Harry Tector was amazing. We had to dominate the spin and the middle overs. Great knock for him as well. He is good [after the blow to his head]! The boys have been doing an amazing job on the field as well."

1.27pm From 72 for 1 to 120 bowled out, only three batters enter double figures for Patriots. Royals made four changes to their XI from the previous game - two of them were forced since Miller and de Kock departed for national duty - but still managed to win by 36 runs. With the bat, they were 46 for 2 in the eighth over, before Azam and Tector added 102.

Young to Dananjaya, OUT, the off stump is shattered, and that is it! Royals win again, and continue their march into the playoffs. Dananjaya went for a wild heave across the line to this good length ball on off, but missed. He was standing after backing away too, and was never in control

Holder to Cottrell, OUT, appeal for run-out at the bowler's end! Again, it goes up to the third umpire. Ah, it is out! Bravo is short of the crease while trying to reach back. Very good match awareness and accuracy from Holder. The ball was on a yorker length on middle, as Cottrell jammed that back to Holder's left. The tall man took it on the bounce while reaching for it, and turned around to hit the stumps and find Bravo out of the crease

Holder to DJ Bravo, FOUR, sliced to deep point! Walsh there seemed to have overran to his left, but the ball dropped and turned away to his right, as he dived after recovering but missed. Low full toss wide of off, and sliced by Bravo

Can Holder get the two wickets in this over itself?

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Jansen, OUT, another good catch there! This time it is Bishop. He has to keep his eyes on the ball for a long time, takes a few steps to his left and then tumbles to take it low near the rope. The ball was full and straight, as Jansen had no option but to go hard at that, bashing it across the line

Holder to Rashid Khan, OUT, the helicopter shot finds deep midwicket! That was hit hard and flat, as Greaves there came forward, with the ball coming on very quickly to him. Slower ball from Holder again, and right in the slot on off. Rashid saw the length and went whacking, but couldn't get the height and the distance

Holder to Carty, OUT, that is a brilliant catch by Greaves, who ran to his left from deep midwicket, fell down, and just managed to maintain his balance on the cusp of the rope! For once he seemed to have overran it, but had it in control eventually. A slower ball from Holder in the slot outside off, as Carty went swinging - and even timed it well - only for the excellent effort

KU Carty c sub (JP Greaves) b Holder 1 (7m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Holder back, with Royals in command
