- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 This time nothing is going to save Mckenzie! Chopped on and goes for a duck! Length ball pitching outside the fifth stump line and shapes away, plays off the back foot away from the body and connects the thickish inside edge, drags the ball onto the stumps. 0/17.2 Edged and taken! Back of a length ball turns away outside the off stump line, moves away from the wicket to swat it down. Hendricks only manages to kiss the outside part of the bat and Fletcher grasps it behind the stumps. 54/40.5 Feathers it to Spiceman! Peach of a delivery from Netravalkar. Length ball on the probing zone shapes away with the angle; Carty tries to fend it down half-heartedly, plays down the wrong line and tickles it off the outside edge to the keeeper. 0/25.3 Done him with the googly! Celebrappeal from Hasaranga and the umpire is convinced too! Good length ball pitching around off and spins back in sharply with the wrong'un. Usman once again plays down the wrong line, caught in two minds whether to defend or attack the ball, plays a nothing stroke in the end with the cross bat and the ball clipped the top of the back pad. It's easy as you like, all three reds and hitting the middle stump. 36/318.3 Caught and bowled! A bit unlucky there for Powell; he could have deposited the low full toss ball anywhere outside the park. But the Kingsmen skipper tries to yank it with the cross bat and mis-hits it straight up in the air, and the bowler gobbles it up making no mistake. 167/617.3 That's gone miles up in the air, and caught at widish long on! Back of the hand slower ball outside off and Paul goes for the big heave across the line, miscues it to widish long on region. Two fielders converge and Wickham calls for it from deep midwicket, settles underneath and completes a well-judged catch. Holder celebrates, shushing the crowd. Plenty of pats on the shoulder and back for Paul as he approaches the dressing room. 153/5Extras14 (b 8, lb 1, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL181/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Kirk McKenzie, 0.2 ov), 2-0 (Keacy Carty, 0.5 ov), 3-36 (Usman Khan, 5.3 ov), 4-54 (Reeza Hendricks, 7.2 ov), 5-153 (Keemo Paul, 17.3 ov), 6-167 (Rovman Powell, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 And Hassan has the last laugh! Hassan has really grown voluminously over the years, came of age after he started his career in Pakistan Super League for Quetta Gladiators, he lands it full on middle and leg, Fletcher gave himself swinging room and deposited it straight into the hands of the fielder at mid-on, huge wicket! Spice Man is always a prized scalp 8/13.4 Such an incredible delivery! I wonder if this Shah brother would have been a better choice than Ubaid for Pakistan Test team, no disrespect to Ubaid who is talented in his own right but Hunain has more experience and much better temperament I reckon, Ubaid is still new. Now this delivery was pitched a touch short and nipped back sharply, got him into a tangle, he tried to break free with a cut and edged it through to the keeper, a polite appeal and umpire quickly raised the finger 29/24.2 Around the wicket, THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE BEAUTY! A CRACKERJACK that roared back from outside off, jagged in a touch and squared him up, what an angle, what a brute of a delivery, he had absolutely no clue about it, just hung his bat out in a desperate attempt to get behind the line and sees the off-stump dismantled! That is smart bowling. No feet movement at all 31/316.2 Hurled it full and angled across towards the wide line, he gets low and nurdles it straight to down Hunain's throat at third man; it's been a struggle when it comes to changing the gear but the bowling has been too good and disciplined, not easy to find boundaries agains the likes of Paul, Hunain and Russell. 9th wicket for Russell this season 121/87.6 Bowls a snail-speed irksome legbreak that gyrates into the pads and elicits a vociferous lbw appeal and the umpire nods and raises the finger in agreement, Nikhil has doubts over it and has asked for a review. Lots of revolutions on the ball, landed on a such a tricky length where there is not much time to react and read, his hands were well in front to smother the spin, three reds and it couldn't be more plumb than this! Massive breakthrough because Nikhil is someone who can change the outlook of game; an exceptional talent, Jamaica will be mighty pleased to see the back of him 60/48.4 Looped up wide of off, full length, squeezed out to deep cover, OH MY GOODNESS, such a nasty collision between the two and Dasun Shanaka is in agonizing pain, looks like Wickham is the one who is out because Dasun is closer to striker's end, it's a tough one. Both batters were trying to put their bat in front of them and I haven't seen many collisions like that! Why not let good sportsmanship takeover and take back run-out appeal; but a big communication breakdown, both ran straight into the each other when trying to scamper back for the second, both running in same line at the left side of the pitch from keeper's view. Third umpire has adjudged Shanaka as the one who has to go back 64/513.6 Gets it right on this occasion, bit short on fifth stump line, pushed along the carpet to deep midwicket and Bidaisee is going off, a tactical retirement. Jason Holder takes his guard 108/614.5 Came wide of the crease, on a slightly fuller length and shaped it across off, he sits firmly rooted deep in crease and jauntily hits it straight to Paul at cover; fielder stationed at perfect position to pouch this and there goes the last real hope for Patriots. Do you think Holder should bat up in the order? 110/717.6 On a length and gets hint of inward seam movement at leg-stump as he backs away to spank high but not entirely mighty, fielder kept his balance and eyes on the ball and Jamaica Kingsmen register an emphatic win much to the delight of a packed house on their home ground 130/1017.4 Hassan Khan at deep extra cover made the ground so quickly and took a fabulous forward diving catch, putting his body on the line and has taken a gem! On a shorter length and curving across off, slashed and Hassan takes care of the rest with a stupendous diving catch 129/9Extras10 (lb 1, nb 2, w 7)TOTAL130 all out (18 Overs, RR: 7.22)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Andre Fletcher, 0.6 ov), 2-29 (Johnson Charles, 3.4 ov), 3-31 (Kyle Mayers, 4.2 ov), 4-60 (Nikhil Chaudhary, 7.6 ov), 5-64 (Dasun Shanaka, 8.4 ov), 6-108 (Navin Bidaisee, 13.6 ov), 7-110 (Jason Holder, 14.5 ov), 8-121 (Kevin Wickham, 16.2 ov), 9-129 (Obed McCoy, 17.4 ov), 10-130 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 17.6 ov)
