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

Young to Cottrell, 1 leg bye, slower ball on a fullish length, and angling into leg. Hits his pad as he misses his swing of the bat, and they take a leg bye

Young to Dananjaya, 1 run, yorker attempted, but it is a low full toss on middle. Dragged to long-on after making room

Young will end the day

Holder to Cottrell, no run, bowls a cutter on a yorker length just outside off. Cottrell swings but misses

Dananjaya is the last man, but at the non-striker's end

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
