- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.5 holes out this time to deep midwicket! Nearly a no-ball but he just had something behind the line. Slower ball banged in, it just stopped in the surface enough, King miscues it a touch trying to go over deep midwicket and picks out the man in the deep 123/60.6 short on the legs, cramped for room trying to heave this over backward square leg, it climbs into the shoulder of the bat trying to play the shot. One of the two fielders on the boundary in the Powerplay is perfectly stationed on the rope at deep backward square and Hemraj picks him out five yards inside the rope for a chest high catch. 5/11.5 the stumps explode out of the ground! Hetmyer premeditates a back away from leg to try to carve over extra cover, but he picks the wrong ball to do it. Wahab sends this down on a good length on middle, Hetmyer misses the drive and middle plus leg stump go flying out of the ground. 7/23.5 gem! Probes the fifth stump channel on a good length with a 133 kph delivery, Shoaib prods at this defensively poking away from his body with no footwork and a thin edge carries comfortably behind. 17/38.3 too easy at cover on the ring. The ball is really gripping and sticking in the wicket for the spinners. Hafeez tries to cut a short ball on sixth stump but is through the shot way too early and can't hold his hands back long enough to avoid producing a thick edge off the splice that lobs up gently to the fielder on the ring, taken at chest height. 52/415.5 holes out to long on! Pooran tries to slog sweep over deep midwicket but it's full toss wide of off, he can't get hold of it and miscues towards long on and the catch is taken easily this time 103/5Extras15 (b 2, lb 6, w 7)TOTAL151/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.55)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Chandrapaul Hemraj, 0.6 ov), 2-7 (Shimron Hetmyer, 1.5 ov), 3-17 (Shoaib Malik, 3.5 ov), 4-52 (Mohammad Hafeez, 8.3 ov), 5-103 (Nicholas Pooran, 15.5 ov), 6-123 (Brandon King, 17.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 magical googly lights up the stumps! Fletcher wound up initially to drive a full length ball on middle, then changed his mind to abort into a half-hearted forward prod once he saw it tailing toward the stumps. He might have been better attacking because his defense is porous, big gap between bat and front pad for the ball to sneak through. Slight carom off the back pad onto the stumps. 35/24.1 yet again, the spinners are getting the ball to stick in this pitch. Faf is through a cut shot early backing away from leg to slap a good length ball off middle stump, he winds up dragging this back to Motie floating gently at thigh height. Too easy for the return catch. 29/16.5 Samit pays the price backing away and exposing his stumps trying to cut. Motie zips this on flat on a good length on middle and off, Samit was expecting this to turn away but there's some natural variable bounce here. Definitely not an arm ball but this one doesn't grip as much as a lot of other balls sent down by Motie and instead just slides on to crash into the top of middle and leg stump. 43/317.2 Chase picks out cover! Shoaib Malik holds on! Length ball wide of off, Chase stands tall and smashes this flat but straight to cover and the safe hands of Shoaib finally gives Guyana some joy 118/418.3 Bowled him! Off stump cartwheeled! Too good. Straight through him. Full on off stump, Paul sat back trying to heave this over deep midwicket but missed and off stump was uprooted 123/518.4 caught behind! Smith on a hat-trick! Full and angled across, a big swing trying to heave over midwicket, gets a thin edge through to Pooran 123/6Extras8 (lb 2, w 6)TOTAL134/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.7)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Faf du Plessis, 4.1 ov), 2-35 (Andre Fletcher, 5.4 ov), 3-43 (Samit Patel, 6.5 ov), 4-118 (Roston Chase, 17.2 ov), 5-123 (Keemo Paul, 18.3 ov), 6-123 (Jeavor Royal, 18.4 ov)
