- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.1 chipped straight to point. Was dancing down the track, didn't get to the pitch of the ball, it was turning away from him, and gets the edge straight to the fielder. 43/23.2 caught at short third man. Bit of a half-hearted slash at that, no movement of feet at all. This was bowled wider outside off, and he was looking to go through cover, bounced a bit more than he expected, got the edge and looped to the fielder for a comfortable catch. 23/17.5 you miss, I hit. Narine keeps it on the stumps, not as short as the ball that was hit for six, and also quicker. Smith wanted to repeat his previous shot, the cross-batted swat ends up connecting only with air and the stumps are rearranged. 53/319.6 in the air and taken at long off easily. Seales gets Hetmyer off the last ball, but the left-hander has dragged Amazon Warriors to a very competitive 142! 142/712.3 the struggle has ended and this slower ball outside off stump has been hit right in the air for long off to get under. Sliced the shot, looking to get a move on, and ends up falling. 75/414.6 length ball, quicker from Hosein. Hafeez wants to pull but now ends up attempting the shot much earlier than he thought. Pulled straight down deep midwicket's throat as the breeze takes it to the fielder 88/517.1 low full toss wide outside off. Down on one knee and swatted to long off, and it looks like six, but noooo! We have a stunning catch from Darren Bravo on the line. Takes a catch at long off, but sees that he's falling over due to momentum beyond the boundary and so pops the ball in the air. Goes over the ropes, steps back in, and completes the catch to send Pooran back. Bravo had to jump and take a catch for a ball that was meant to go over his head 104/6Extras11 (lb 3, w 8)TOTAL142/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.1)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Chandrapaul Hemraj, 3.2 ov), 2-43 (Brandon King, 6.1 ov), 3-53 (Odean Smith, 7.5 ov), 4-75 (Shoaib Malik, 12.3 ov), 5-88 (Mohammad Hafeez, 14.6 ov), 6-104 (Nicholas Pooran, 17.1 ov), 7-142 (Shimron Hetmyer, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.4 caught at mid-off. Full on the stumps, Simmons wanted to go downtown with that, but got it off the toe-end of the bat, and it ballooned to mid-off who caught it smartly over his head 14/16.4 smacks this back of a length ball but he's picked out long-on. Skids on quicker onto Narine than he thought, and he can't get timing on that swat. Goes off the end of the bat and long-on gobbles it up. 50/33.2 six and out. He'll be unhappy with that dismissal. Short enough to go back and pull with force, but he has picked out the fielder at wide mid-on. Good work by Shepherd who had to move to his left and go low to catch it. But Munro could have hit it anywhere he'll think, and he's hit it within range of a fielder. 32/211.5 good length just outside off, and Seifert goes for the uppish straight drive with the high elbow. Pops up in the air and long on runs in, dives forward, and slides to take the catch and dismiss a potentially dangerous batter 78/58.5 trapped in front and this time Tahir does a bigger celebratory run. Googly that pitched on a length, and Bravo tried to swat across the line with feet rooted where they were, struck on the back pad, in front of the stumps 62/418.2 holes out! And that surely is curtains. Ramdin walks across to the off side expecting a wide yorker, and that's what it is. Ramdin connects well with a shot to take it over the bowler's head, but it just does not have the elevation to beat the experienced Malik at long on 111/813.6 the extra delivery does the trick and what a peach of a nut! Back of a length outside off. Jagging in slightly. Pollard looks to poke at it, but it gets big on him, and edged to Pooran! Shepherd is off to celebrate and Amazon Warriors firmly hold the advantage 86/615.2 repeat! It was Shepherd last over, and it's Smith in this. Back of a length outside off. Udana looks to play at it, and nudges at it with hard hands. Edged to Pooran once more! 90/719.4 top edged and taken by the keeper running towards third man. Shortish ball outside off, and the swipe takes the edge that popped right up 121/9Extras15 (b 5, lb 2, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL133/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.65)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Lendl Simmons, 1.4 ov), 2-32 (Colin Munro, 3.2 ov), 3-50 (Sunil Narine, 6.4 ov), 4-62 (Darren Bravo, 8.5 ov), 5-78 (Tim Seifert, 11.5 ov), 6-86 (Kieron Pollard, 13.6 ov), 7-90 (Isuru Udana, 15.2 ov), 8-111 (Denesh Ramdin, 18.2 ov), 9-121 (Ravi Rampaul, 19.4 ov)
