I just realized that Patriot Jansen is not the same one playing against the Pommies in the 3rd test..I was wondering how comes he was in 2 places at once

3.3
Jaden Carmichael to du Plessis, no ball, Faf has been given a let off. Carmichael had him caught near cover but the 19-year-old has overstepped. Daren Sammy, the Kings coach, affords a smile in the dugout. Quicker and Faf backs away, gets cramped for room and hence cannot control the cut,

Come on Lil b, today you shine....

St Lucia losing momentum after fall first wicket ….no strikers…it happen every game so far

Carbon copy of their previous games. That’s weak setup st. Lucia got

10.4
Pretorius to Tim David, out Caught by Darren Bravo!! The promotion does not work. The Patriots are delighted as they know the importance of this wicket. And also they won't mind Pretorius bowling so many wides if he can keep picking wickets. The off-pace delivery and it dips right in front of the batter, David is through the loft a tad early and even his bottom hand comes off the bat handle, skies it towards long-on where Bravo steadies himself and takes a fine catch.

Tim David c Darren Bravo b Pretorius 2(7)

11.4
Dananjaya to Primus, out Caught by Rashid Khan!! The script seems to be repeating for the Kings. After a good start they are once again losing their way with wickets at regular intervals. Not sure if Primus picked the wrong 'un but he did try and smack it with the spin,

12.3
Cottrell to du Plessis, FOUR, edged and over the fielder. Another off-pace delivery but it had width, Faf throws his bat and the outside edge flies over Rutherford near short third man
12.2
Cottrell to du Plessis, SIX, slower ball outside off, Faf had to really reach to play the big shot and he manages to get it off the middle as the ball sails over long-on comfortably

12.4
Cottrell to du Plessis, out Caught by Rashid Khan!! This is a massive moment.

Dananjaya to Roston Chase, out Lbw!! The collapse is on.

Roston Chase lbw b Dananjaya 11(6) [4s-1 6s-1]

14.3
Pretorius to Alzarri Joseph, out Caught by Jaden Carmichael!! Soft dismissal! Things going from bad to worse for the home team. Slower ball outside off, Joseph reaches and slices it straight to backward point.

This SLK team is pathetic after Charles and DuPlessis. Massive crowd support and after such a great start, the rest of the team falls away like nine pins. TKR, you have company at the bottom.

16.4
Pretorius to Matthew Forde, SIX, that's even better. That gets the crowd going again. Forde moves across and gets under the full toss, he swipes it over backward square leg and clears the rope comfortably
16.3
Pretorius to Matthew Forde, SIX, shot! That came out of nowhere. Pretorius feeds it in the slot and Forde shows he can bat, lofts through the line and sends the ball sailing over long-off

17.2
Rashid Khan to Matthew Forde, out Lbw!! This looked pretty adjacent to the naked eye but Forde almost survived. He does not pick the googly and ends up playing the wrong line, gets beaten on the inside edge and is struck on the front pad,

Matthew Forde lbw b Rashid Khan 15(11) [6s-2]

18.4
Duan Jansen to Wiese, SIX, can Wiese get them close to 170? Slower back of a length delivery and Wiese picked his spot, he rocked back and nailed the pull over deep mid-wicket. Enough bat for the ball to sail over the fielder

18.5
Duan Jansen to Wiese, out Wiese Run Out!! Wiese is livid with Edwards. He was not sure whether the ball was and just responded to Edwards' call. Short of length and Wiese misses the pull, the ball rolls off the thigh pad to point and for some reason Edwards wanted a risky single, Carmichael swoops down and fires a direct hit at the bowler's end

Wiese run out (Jaden Carmichael) 12(14) [6s-1]

19.5
Dananjaya to Larry Edwards, FOUR, tossed up around off, Edwards shuffles across and gets under the ball, slams it straight down the ground and splits the two fielders near the rope

Good recovery from the lower order. Still short of what they would have wanted but still a total they can try to defend.

0.4
Matthew Forde to Fletcher, out Caught by Tim David!! What a rash shot! Clever of Matthew Forde to cramp Fletcher for room with a short of length delivery as he ran at him. Fletcher went through with the slog, couldn't control the bounce too. Top edgish pull, David runs in from deep mid-wicket and takes a tough catch diving forward. Early delight for the Kings.

Fletcher c Tim David b Matthew Forde 0(4)

1.5
Roston Chase to Lewis, FOUR, now he slices this past backward point and it pierces two fielders behind point. Four more
1.4
Roston Chase to Lewis, SIX, hit through the line, on the rise and all the way for six right into SLK's dugout. Flatter delivery but Lewis didn't care and launched that confidently

Matthew Forde to Lewis, FOUR, that was just a defence with an open bat face but that ball raced away past two diving fielders at backward point to frustrate the bowler
2.3
Matthew Forde to Lewis, SIX, freebie short delivery angling down leg. Lewis rocks back and pulls over backward square leg for six. Just over the line

Matthew Forde to Lewis, FOUR, freebie short delivery angling down leg. Lewis rocks back and pulls over backward square leg for six

2.5
Matthew Forde to Lewis, out Caught by Dickwella!! Got him! This is a massive wicket and Matthew Forde is on his celebratory run. Lovely full delivery that sucked Lewis into playing off the front foot and then cunningly moving away off the pitch, Lewis overbalancing and poking at the ball. Outside edge and Dickwella takes an easy catch.

Alzarri Joseph to Brevis, SIX, that's a brilliant no look lofted short over long-on. That's a tribute to Andre Fletcher. Short of a length delivery, Brevis hit that on the rise and hit that so nicely

3.5
Alzarri Joseph to Darren Bravo, FOUR, short of length delivery on the off stump, Bravo looks to defend, the ball takes the edge and goes past the slip fielder to third man

4.1
Matthew Forde to Brevis, out Caught by Tim David!! The same stylish, no-look shot is the reason he is out now.

Kesrick Williams to Pretorius, FOUR, opens the face of the bat and guides this short of length delivery to third man

12.4
Primus to Pretorius, out Caught by Alzarri Joseph!! He has mistimed this slog high and holed out to deep mid-wicket. Slower delivery, Pretorius tried to force the pull, no pace to work with and the fielder runs to his right for a good catch.

Wiese to Duan Jansen, out Caught&Bowled!! Full delivery angling in, Jansen cramped for room on the flick, the ball takes a massive inside edge and lobs to the bowler off the pad. Catch taken by Wiese, but he also underarms the ball onto the stumps as Jansen was out of the crease. They check with the third ump if it was caught or run out, clearly out caught.
