Shiv on mike with his American accent

Brandon King and Kennar Lewis are at the crease.

Brandon King is on strike.

Forde will open the attack

0.4
Forde to Kennar Lewis, no run, celebrappeal from Forde but the umpire isn't interested one bit. And rightly so because Lewis did get a faint inside edge on this and the impact was dicey as well. Forde is getting the ball to come back in sharply with this new ball and Lewis generally doesn't move his feet at all

1.1
Alzarri Joseph to Brandon King, no run, jaffa to start from Joseph! Forde is getting the ball to shape in and this lad now starts with an unplayable outswinger. Pitched on middle-and-off and curled away sharply to whiz past King's outside edge. Top nut!

What does Tallawahs see in Lewis? Man failed so many times!

2.6
Forde to Brandon King, FOUR, beautifully played! Not all that full but there is width on offer and King times this square-drive really well. Threads the gap at backward point and the dewy outfield does the rest

3.1
Alzarri Joseph to Kennar Lewis, SIX, KABOOM! Lewis was itching to play the big shot since long and he finally smokes one, way over deep mid-wicket

Kings review for LBW. Looked quite close in real time but could be a marginal call eventually. Has Brandon King hit this?

3.3
Alzarri Joseph to Brandon King, out Lbw!! Joseph draws first blood! Always looked out in real time and it's actually surprising that it wasn't given on-field. In-angler from Joseph, kept low and that's what undid King here. Got stuck in the crease and played all around this one, unable to get his bat down in time. Struck on the front pad in front of middle and this would have hit middle-and-leg for sure.

Given LBW

4.1
Forde to Kennar Lewis, out Lbw!! This time the celebrappeal is on target from Forde! Nearly had Lewis in his previous over and this time it's a done deal. That nip-backer that does the trick. Lewis never looked comfortable against it and this darted sharply to rap him on the pad with his feet going nowhere at all. Definitely crashing into the sticks and the ump didn't waste any time in raising his finger. Tallwahs have been rocked early here.

Kennar Lewis lbw b Forde 10(10) [6s-1]

Playing the same man Lewis over and over and expecting different results is plain stupidity on Tallawahs part!

5.6
Williams to Shamarh Brooks, FOUR, elegant shot from Brooks to end the powerplay! Fractionally short and there is width, he stands tall and eases the square-cut off the back foot. Just need to find the gaps on this outfield

7.1
Williams to Powell, FOUR, just past the diving Faf at mid-off! Did he get a hand on this? Oh yes, he did. It was a chance! Definitely one that he would take by his standards and this could be a huge moment in the game. Was a blistering drive from Powell, saw the ball pitched up and didn't hold back at all. Thumped it uppishly but couldn't really find the gap as we would have liked. His counterpart saves the day for him

7.3
Williams to Shamarh Brooks, SIX, effortless! Brooks always makes batting look easy, even when he is clearing the ropes

Tallawahs review for LBW.
8.3
Jeavor Royal to Powell, out Lbw!! Huge breakthrough this! The dangerous Powell has to depart. Went for the slog sweep against the arm-ball that kept a fraction low to sneak under his blade. Hit him on the back leg and it looked out in real time. Which is why it was given on-field and that's what proved to be crucial in the end. Ball tracking showed it to be clipping leg stump, umpire's call and so Powell has to go. Review retained

Roston Chase to Shamarh Brooks, SIX, smashed, too full from Chase, Brooks gets down low and goes straight with the slog-sweep, hit hard and flat, over long-on's head and that's a big over for the Tallawahs, 11 came from it

Mark Deyal to Shamarh Brooks, SIX, clubbed, tossed up wide of off, Brooks reaches out and then slaps the drive back over the bowler's head, powerfully struck and it sails all the way over the ropes

13.3
Mark Deyal to Shamarh Brooks, SIX, back-to-back sixes and the Tallawahs are swinging the momentum back to their side, Deyal dragged the length back, but it's way too short, allows Brooks to rock back and pummel the pull over mid-wicket

Williams to Chris Green, out Caught by Mark Deyal!! The Tallawahs are losing the plot completely, will they last the entire 20 overs? Was the slower short ball from Williams as Green backed away - gave him no pace to work with, Green stiill went ahead with the pull, got into a pretty bad position and lobs a sitter to Deyal at long-on.

18.6
Alzarri Joseph to Nicholson Gordon, FOUR, streaky but four, a low full-toss that dipped sharply on Gordon - he was through with the shot early, the cball caught the top-edge and has enough to clear the fielder in the ring, at backward square leg. Handy run for the Tallawahs

19.1
Williams to Nabi, SIX, huge, Williams telegraphs the slower bal, but it's right in the arc for Nabi - he gets under it and drills it high and over long-off for a maximum

In reply to Narper

Charles, Faf and Wiese are the only batters the gators should be scared of. AlJo can be dangerous as well. Outside of these four, there is nothing to fear.

Amir to Charles, out Bowled!! Knocks him over! That trademark inswinger from Amir and this is a proper misjudgement of length from Charles. He backed away early, got himself into a proper pickle trying to cut a delivery that was never there for it. MIsses it completely and it's a bail trimmer. It's been a tidy start from the Tallawahs and this wicket should further their confidence.

Chris Green to Dickwella, SIX, super shot! Hint of flight and with mid-off up, Dickwella was always going to take that route. Gets to the pitch of this and lofts with the turn, all the way. Cleanly struck

3.5
Chris Green to du Plessis, FOUR, more fortune for Faf! Goes for the cut again and it's another delivery that spits up a bit off the deck. However, he flashed harder this time and the edge went fine of short third man

gawn
4.5
Imad Wasim to Dickwella, out Caught by R Reifer!! Imad wins the matchup! Left-hander against the left-arm spinner is always an exciting battle, particular when it's an aggressive batter like Dickwella. He tries to take Imad on with the slog sweep but ended up getting a big top edge on it. Probably a hint of grip on the surface and Reifer treks back a few yards from mid-on to take the skier.

Fabian Allen to du Plessis, SIX, bang! Just a tad short and Faf is quick to pounce on it. Sits back and pulls this powerfully over deep mid-wicket. Easily over the rope

6.2
Imad Wasim to Roston Chase, out Caught by Nabi!! Imad with another breakthrough! This is a fielder's wicket though - terrific work by Nabi at short mid-wicket. It was dipping on him and he dived forward to pluck it inches above the ground. Was the arm-ball, Chase was a bit early on the flick and ended up chipping it uppishly. Lovely take from the Afghanistan veteran. The umpires do refer it, but the soft signal was OUT and it didn't really need many replays for the third umpire to confirm the dismissal.

Fabian Allen to Adam Hose, 1 run, dropped! Powell at slip puts down a sharp chance. Went one-handed to his right, but could only palm it towards short third man. Not an easy chance but should have been taken and that would certainly have put a hammer on Kings' chase

In reply to Narper

This game is in the balance.

9.1
Fabian Allen to Mark Deyal, FOUR, fractionally short and Deyal gets the cut away, Hung back, used the depth of the crease and got it fine of short third man

10.4
Nabi to Mark Deyal, out Bowled!! An ugly slog and the Kings slip further - very full and sliding back into the left-hander, Deyal leant across and was then looking to slog it over mid-wicket, missed it completely and the ball went on to clatter into the stumps. He wouldn't want to watch the replays if this dismissal, but the Kings have now lost half their side

Fabian Allen to Forde, out Stumped!! Has Forde been stumped? Kennar Lewis fumbled with the ball, but Forde was so far forward, but he still had a chance to break the stumps. But did Forde rush back in? Or was he short? They check for the edge, but UltraEdge has nothing. Onto the stumping and Forde is well short, he's OUT.

Forde st Kennar Lewis b Fabian Allen 1(4)

11.6
Fabian Allen to Wiese, out Bowled!! A first-ball dismissal for Wiese and Allen is running around in joy. Is this the match-winning moment for the Tallawahs? They certainly feel so. Spinners are running through this middle and later middle-order, a very full ball and Wiese played all around it on the flick, the leg-stump is pegged back, the zing bails lit up and so is the modd in the Tallawahs camp.

Imad Wasim to Alzarri Joseph, FOUR, cracking shot, that should release some pressure off Joseph - dropped short and wide of off, Joseph backs away, uses the pace on the ball and cuts it square behind point for a boundary

14.3
Nabi to Adam Hose, out Bowled!! If the match wasn't over, it's definitely over now. Another skidder from Nabi, darted quicker and at the stumps, stayed a tad low and smashed into the stumps after Hose missed the wild slog. The Tallawahs have found a method to deal with dew, and they're doing it rather effectively.

It's 99 for 9 now, Jeavor Royal had to play his shots, backed away and Joseph cleverly slowed down the pace, pushed it wider of off, had the right-hander reaching out on the slice. It's a big slice and it ends up in the hands of Brooks at deep cover
