- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 big appeal for lbw and it's given! Looked out too. Bowls it full and quick, and Lewis sweeps from the line of the stumps and misses. He doesn't look happy with the decision, though. Delivered from left-arm around, and I'm pretty sure it pitched in line with the stumps. Did it straighten enough to ensure it was hitting them? Seemed a reasonable decision, but let's wait for replays 8/18.2 bounce gets another wicket! Back of a length in the corridor, looks to dab towards third man, and that extra bounce from that length endangers that shot. Kisses the outside edge and it's straight into the gloves of Fletcher 52/43.3 got him! Superb catch at slip, Roston Chase diving to his right. It was flying at just above shoulder height too, and he took it when it was almost past him, in both hands. Outstanding. Again Wahab bangs that short-of-a-length area close to off stump, and gets it to jump at Gayle and move away. Fends at it, and it kisses the shoulder of the bat and flies between the keeper and slip. Could have easily gone for four if not for Chase's reflexes 27/24.3 short, wide, and the Patriots are sinking here. Gets this to turn, so McCarthy has to reach out to cut. Top-edges it, and that's an excellent catch close to the bat from Andre Fletcher. Looks simple, but you don't get time to adjust to deflections off the edge 28/39.2 back of a length on middle and off, shuffles acorss to tuck it away through backward square leg, and what's happened here? A horrible mix-up! Rutherford wants a second, Asif doesn't. There was definitely a second available, as Rutherford demonstrates by running all the way to the other end while Asif stays stationary. Throw goes to the bowler, as it should, and the bails go off to leave the Patriots five down 59/512.4 Asif Ali's gone, and you know how it happened, don't you? A slog over the top, straight to long-on. It's happened a million times, and it'll probably happen a million more 75/618.5 top edges that to the man at cover. Allen finally falls, but not before ensuring his side has a fighting chance. He had to keep going for his shots really, but after a very slow start, Allen goes for a nifty little 32-ball 34 114/913.5 on the cards! Archibald went for a slog over cow corner, but Patel's bowling so well he never had a hope of getting to the pitch of it. Gets a top edge, and short third takes an easy catch. 78/715.4 had an almighty heave at it, but has he lost his footing and ended up stumped? The Kings are celebrating, and replays show the foot was indeed well out of his crease. Naseem falls, and the Patriots are now eight down 83/819.3 glorious catch to round out the innings. Another slower ball that Fawad had a whack at, as you might expect him to do. Keemo Paul coming in plucked that low off the ground and ensure the Patriots are bowled out. Faf du Plessis' side might feel they've given away about 15-20 too many runs at the end, but they should gun this down with ease. 118/10Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL118 all out (19.3 Overs, RR: 6.05)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Evin Lewis, 0.6 ov), 2-27 (Chris Gayle, 3.3 ov), 3-28 (Andre McCarthy, 4.3 ov), 4-52 (Devon Thomas, 8.2 ov), 5-59 (Sherfane Rutherford, 9.2 ov), 6-75 (Asif Ali, 12.4 ov), 7-78 (Colin Archibald, 13.5 ov), 8-83 (Naseem Shah, 15.4 ov), 9-114 (Fabian Allen, 18.5 ov), 10-118 (Fawad Ahmed, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 straightaway, an lbw appeal, and it's given! Fletcher is on the back foot, stepping across to try and work the ball into the leg side, and it keeps going with the arm to hit him high on the front pad. I don't think it was sliding down leg, but it may have been bouncing over, possibly. Fletcher isn't happy, but he'll have to walk off. What a start for the Patriots! 0/14.4 got him. Makes room again and Allen follows him with a back-of-a-length ball. Cramped for room on the pull, he hits it flat and low, straight to mid-on 33/27.2 well, there's the wicket. Length ball slanting away from off stump. Slashes at it, and ends up miscuing it high in the air to the right of backward point 54/314.2 he falls trying to clear mid-off. It's been a struggle with the bat for the Englishman, but Chase at the other end has ensured it's not a major concern for the Kings 100/4Extras4 (lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL121/4 (15.4 Overs, RR: 7.72)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Andre Fletcher, 0.1 ov), 2-33 (Faf du Plessis, 4.4 ov), 3-54 (Keron Cottoy, 7.2 ov), 4-100 (Samit Patel, 14.2 ov)
