0.1
Cottrell to Simmons, FOUR, what a rockin' start! Cottrell goes full and Simmons has bludgeoned it straight past the bowler.

0.6

simmo gawn

2.2
Drakes to Simmons, out Caught by Cottrell!! Drakes strikes first ball. That's a short and quick ball by Drakes, Simmons goes for a pull and doesn't really get the timing right. Miscues it towards deep square leg where Cottrell ambles across and completes a safe catch to get rid of Simmons who was looking a touch dangerous

4.4
Cottrell to Ramdin, out Caught by Drakes!! Out comes the salute. The Cottrell Salute. So the dropped catch hasn't cost much. Was a length delivery right into the slot and Ramdin heaved it straight to the fielder stationed at deep mid-wicket. Went flat and quick, but was a good take by Drakes in the outfield. After a good opening over, the Knight Riders have lost a couple of wickets, and the run rate has dipped due to the same.

8.1
Drakes to Munro, 2 runs, goes full does Drakes and Munro plays a lovely straight drive, timing it to perfection. Cottrell in the deep does well to sprint across from long-on as he stops it with a dive, keeps them down to a couple of runs

8.6
Drakes to Munro, FOUR, to fine leg
8.5
Drakes to Munro, FOUR, no one at deep extra cover and that shall be a boundary. Drakes bangs it short and Munro crunches it past Bopara at covers

14.5
Jon-Russ Jaggesar to Munro, out Caught by Lewis!! Munro misses out on his fifty. Was looking good to shift gears but he has been dismissed as Lewis takes a good catch at deep mid-wicket. Was pulled hard off his back foot

Munro c Lewis b Jon-Russ Jaggesar 47(34) [4s-3 6s-2]

14.6
Jon-Russ Jaggesar to Pollard, out Caught by Joshua Da Silva!! Jon-Russ Jaggesar ends his spell with a huge wicket. Bags two wickets in two balls. This was fired outside off on a shorter length and Pollard flashes away from his body. Gets a nick and Da Silva who fumbles on his first attempt, manages to take it on the second attempt

Pollard c Joshua Da Silva b Jon-Russ Jaggesar 15(13) [6s-1]

15.2
Fabian Allen to Narine, SIX, Sunil boy! Gets off the mark with a maximum as he tonks the floated delivery right over Fabian Allen's head

15.4
Fabian Allen to Narine, SIX that's the second six of the over. Fabian Allen goes full, right into the arc and Narine has swung it over long-on for six more. Fabian Allen proving to be expensive today

16.4
Drakes to Seifert, out Bowled!! You miss, I hit! Drakes nails the yorker and Seifert who was trying to be cheeky pays the price for it. Gets the scoop shot wrong, and the ball flicks his shoe and deflects onto the stumps. Just a single for Seifert and the Patriots continue to strike at regular intervals.

17.3
Naseem Shah to Akeal Hosein, FOUR, dropped by Lewis!
Akeal Hosein almost got outfoxed by the slower one there.Lofts it towards deep cover where the fielder treks back and gets his hands to it, but parries it away to the boundary eventually. It was actually Bopara's catch who was charging in from the deep, but Lewis went for it and made a mess of it

17.6
Naseem Shah to Narine, SIX,big one to end the over! That shot was all about timing, Naseem Shah offered a full length ball around off and Narine makes sure to make the most out of it. Chips it over long-off and the timing fetches him six more

18.1
Drakes to Akeal Hosein, FOUR, really full ball on off

18.2
Drakes to Akeal Hosein, out Caught by Rutherford!! That's the third wicket for Drakes. How impressive he has been today. Bowls a slower delivery on off and Akeal Hosein mistimes his lofted shot straight to Rutherford at long-on. He is not going to miss

those. Akeal Hosein c Rutherford b Drakes 11(7) [4s-2]

18.4
Drakes to Narine, FOUR Bopara is having a horrible day in the outfield. So many misfields and a dropped catch earlier.

Naseem Shah to Narine, SIX, Narine on fire! Rocks back in the crease and thumps this short ball over long-on for half-a-dozen. Bowler under pressure as DJ Bravo walks upto him and has a word to calm him down

2.3
Anderson Phillip to Gayle, 1 run, Bravo puts down a dolly! What's with the catching in this game? Bopara in the previous innings and now Bravo. Straightforward take at third man and he has spilled it. What a huge miss it is! Gayle wanted to loft this over cover but was late on the stroke, sliced it away uppishly and Bravo had enough time to settle under this. Got to it and then messed up the chance

Bopara in the previous innings and now Bravo

2.5
Anderson Phillip to Gayle, FOUR, brilliant effort from Pollard! It was always going to be difficult for him to get to this but still tries with a full-length dive. The ball just evades his hands and races away to the long-on fence. Gayle living dangerously at the moment, tries to go downtown

Even Ganga couldn't find an excuse for that catch dropped by Darren Bravo! Put down Gayle!

2.6
Anderson Phillip to Gayle, FOUR, belted away! Shortish and Gayle stands tall, blasting the pull through mid-wicket. Almost went all the way

Quickly followed by a difficult one dropped by Pollard!

SNP 28/0 (4) CRR: 7 REQ: 8.25
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots need 132 runs

4,2
Anderson Phillip to Gayle, FOUR, sliced away! Nobody sweeping behind square on the off-side and that's exactly where Gayle goes. Backs away a bit, gets the shortish length and he slashes it away merrily over backward point. Always went for a maximum

4.4
Anderson Phillip to Lewis, SIX, powered away! On the shorter side and Lewis is quick to rock back, pulling powerfully over square leg. The ball has landed into a box of paint

In reply to Narper

These umps are beyond dumb

The ball is slippery- madness

You wipe it and throw it back to the bowler??!!

In reply to Halliwell

Is cheap dem cheap?

Evin Lewis 17(15

5.1
Ali Khan to Lewis, SIX, he has hit this very, very hard! The yorker gone wrong, low full toss and Lewis hammers it straight over the bowler's head. All the way for a flat maximum

5.2
Ali Khan to Lewis, FOUR, to long-off

In reply to Narper

We really lucky Harper didn’t pick Ali Khan for the WC

Come on, TKR. Pelt Gayle rass out, nuh.

5.5
Ali Khan to Gayle, FOUR, these two are toying with the bowling now
5.4
Ali Khan to Gayle, SIX, this is out of the ground! He had been threatening to clear the off-side fence for a while now and with him, it's only a matter of time. Overpitched from Khan, in the slot and Gayle makes a hint of room before lofting it over deep cover. Massive hit

5.6
Ali Khan to Gayle, out Caught by Ramdin!! The partnership is finally broken! It's come at a heavy cost but at least, TKR have a breakthrough. Khan goes full again, wider outside off and Gayle isn't able to get under it properly on the drive. Only manages a thick edge through to Ramdin. Gayle falls after a brief but entertaining innings

Gayle c Ramdin b Ali Khan 35(1 [4s-6 6s-1]

7.1
Pollard to Lewis, 2 runs, another chance dropped! TKR can't afford these misses with the middling total that they have. Pollard nearly struck the magic blow with his first delivery. Slower half-tracker, inviting the big shot and Lewis really skied this pull stroke towards long-on. Akeal the fielder who gets across to it and then doesn't hold on

7.3
Pollard to Thomas, out Caught by Munro!! Finally a catch has been taken! Pollard strikes! Slower ball, loopy and lures Thomas into a hoick across the line but he hasn't middled this properly at all. Picks out Munro who takes a good low grab at deep mid-wicket

Thomas c Munro b Pollard 1(5)

In reply to Narper

Shhhhhhhh
The Original Pouty

7.4
Pollard to Lewis, SIX, he mishit the first ball of this over but not this one! He's absolutely clobbered this

We have Lewis what we doing wit Gayle

7.5
Pollard to Lewis, SIX, this is on the roof! Slot ball and at Pollard's pace, that's asking for trouble. Lewis calmly clears his front leg and sends this soaring over long-off with a clean loft through the line

In reply to Narper

In reply to Narper

Evin must now not do an Evin; drown in honey after a 50

In reply to Halliwell

Do you remember a few years ago....Lewis on 99*....last ball to go....one run to win... and Pouty bowled a wide....deny him the ton.....match over...Pouty lose....but Lewis on 99*

Well It is I who coined the name Pouty after that

8.4
Akeal Hosein to Lewis, SIX, this is looking like throwdowns really, or rather a practice of Lewis's range-hitting. Floaty fuller ball, in the arc for Lewis who blazes this over wide long-on with another thunderous loft

Only VOR could come here and spoil things for the Patriots.

Yasir Shah to Lewis, SIX, too short and Lewis is on the back foot in a flash, pulling powerfully over deep square leg. You just can't err in length when he is in this mood and Yasir realises that the hard way

12.5
Yasir Shah to Lewis, SIX, overcompensates the length this time, feeds the slot and it disappears over deep square leg again

Ali Khan to Lewis, SIX, oh come on Lewis!! You can't make six-hitting look so easy. It's unfair. Khan starts a new spell with a freebie, overpitched and it's dismissed over long-off with a no-look loft of sorts. Such swagger in these hits. He moves into the 80s now

In reply to Narper

Shameful

13.3
Ali Khan to Lewis, FOUR, ddeft touch from Lewis, reminding us that he isn't just about brute force. This is almost the perfect wide yorker from Khan, Lewis hangs deep in the crease

In reply to Halliwell

Ali Khan to Lewis, SIX, sails into the 90s and now that century is looking a real possibility. Wide half-volley, TKR just don't want to learn and keep getting punished, Lewis gets forward and lofts cleanly over wide long-off

Anderson Phillip to Lewis, SIX, gets to his century in some style! Leg-lined drag down, Lewis gets inside the line and pulls over fine leg. Drops the bat nonchalantly as soon as he hit the shot, arms raised and punching the air in delight. He wanted this badly, you could sense that in his celebration and the way he batted. Just one hit away now are the Patriots

100 to Lewis

TKR 159/7 (20)

SNP 160/2 (14.4)

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots won by 8 wkts
