Antigua and Barbuda Falcons vs Trinbago Knight Riders..

Runs flowing

....

Russell to Greaves, FOUR runs
edged and four! Back of a length in the channel. Leaves the batter late and draws the outside edge as Greaves goes feeling for it. Races away past slip!

darn lucky...

Pitch fixed...

Hey , hey ..he out...

Russell to Zaman, FOUR runs
deft touch! On the shorter side again but this time, offering a hint of width. Zaman stands up on his toes, uses the pace and glides it to short third's left!

Hinds to Greaves, FOUR runs
more streaky runs! Length outside off. Greaves advances, looking to go downtown. Does not middle it at all but the toe-end of the bat is good enough. Hurtles away past short third!


Hinds to Greaves, 2 runs
dropped, oh dear! Hard length on off. Gains pace off the surface and gets big on Greaves, who miscues his pull. Loops up towards Salamkheil at short fine leg, who circles under it and ultimately makes a meal of it

Little to Greaves, SIX runs
into the crowd! Marginally short on the stumps and Greaves climbs into it. Hops into position early and hammers it flat over the deep square leg fence!

Little to Greaves, FOUR runs
four more! Back of a length on middle and off. Greaves presses forward, stands up tall and times it sweetly past mid off!

Okkkkkkk Team wicket now...

Little to Zaman, FOUR runs
the runs continue to flow! Length delivery, pushed into leg stump. Zaman gives himself room again and muscles it back past the bowler!

Narine to Greaves, FOUR runs
Narine comes in for some punishment too! Width outside off and Greaves latches onto it. Throws his hands at the ball and slashes it over point!

Oh shut up Ganga


Narine to Greaves, OUT
Narine breaks through! He always does!

Justin Greaves st †Pooran b Narine 37 (19b 4x4 2x6) SR: 194.73

Hosein to Primus, no run
another chance goes down! Back of a length on middle and leg. Grips in the surface and spins away, squaring up Primus. He gets a leading edge that lands agonizingly to Hosein's left

Narine to Primus, no run
another lbw shout, turned down! Length just outside off. Skids on and raps Primus on the pads as he misses his sweep. Perhaps the impact was just outside the line

anodder tief...


Narine to Primus, no run
missed run-out chance! Fullish just outside off. Primus looks for the paddle-sweep and misses. The ball rolls away to the pitch's right, prompting Primus to set off for the single. Zaman sends him back and he would have been out had Pooran hit the stumps after fielding it

In reply to sgtdjones Boi, you ran away from PNM & I'm just dismayed at your support of socishitists! Likkle more. I want TKR to get their batties beaten! Ok, they exude confidence & walk around like badjohns, but I would love for ABF to kick batties! Fool stop.

...

Hosein to Zaman, FOUR runs
finds the gap! Tossed up on a length just outside off. Zaman brings out the reverse and nails it between backward point and short third!

oh! Slower on a back of a length on middle and off. Grips in the surface and spins back into Zaman, going past his massive swish. Not far away from leg stump either

.....Ok cut it out Falcons

The Falcons will be fairly pleased with where they are, given how their batting has performed this season. That said, there has been a post-powerplay slowdown and they might want to rectify that soon, especially if they are to wrestle back momentum

...Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Waqar to Zaman, OUT
Salamkheil gets Fakhar Zaman!

Salamkheil gets Fakhar Zaman! Looped up leg-spinner on a full length outside off. Zaman backs away, trying to go inside out but ends up too far away from the ball. Has to reach out and all he manages is a tame outside edge that is snaffled up by Narine at short third. The pressure pays off, and the Falcons are stuttering!

Fakhar Zaman c Narine b Waqar Salamkheil 38 (26b 5x4 0x6) SR: 146.15

2 dong....

Waqar to Primus, no run
huge shout, not given! Zipped in full on leg stump. Primus has an almighty swipe at it and seems to miss. The ball pops up off the pad and is caught by Gous. Salamkheil is adamant he has gotten his man and convinces Pollard to review, who does so with a smile. Gous seemed to appeal for the lbw before also trying his luck with the catch. Nothing on UltraEdge but it does feel like the ball pitched just outside leg. Replays confirm the ball pitched just outside leg and Primus stays!
OUT , Out ...nodder Tief....

Russell to Imad Wasim, FOUR runs
Imad gets his first boundary! Friendly full toss outside off. The width allows Imad to cash in and he muscles it to extra cover's left. Imad wants a change of bat too

Waqar to Imad Wasim, no run
big appeal, not given! Fizzed in full, in and around off. Imad looks for the reverse and makes a complete hash of it. Gets hit on the pads but the question here is whether the ball hit him in line with the stumps. We go upstairs to find out. If this has hit Imad in line, this could be curtains. No bat involved, which is not a surprise. All eyes on Ball Tracking now and...it reckons the impact is just outside off. Knight Riders are out of reviews now!


Waqar to Imad Wasim, FOUR runs
watch out, umpire! Floated up into the slot on off stump. Imad plants his front foot and blasts it straight back. The umpire has to duck for cover, and that is a much-needed boundary for the Falcons!

Almost killed Umpire...

Primus breaks the shackles too! Half-tracker outside off that sits up nicely for Primus. He gives himself room, holds his shape and pounds it over extra cover!


Ahhhhhhhhh right...


Narine to Primus, OUT
castled! Narine exacts revenge!Primus, after the success earlier in the over, looks to go inside-out again. Gives himself room but just cannot make any sort of contact. The ball breezes past and his off stump is knocked back. Primus' struggle comes to an end, and the Falcons lose their third!

another boundary for Imad Wasim! Darted in on a short of a length wide outside off. Imad throws the kitchen sink at it and the ball flies off the outside edge past short third!

Narine to Imad Wasim, SIX runs
goes all the way! Fired right into the slot outside off. Imad picks the length early, opens up his front hip and pumps it over long on!
