St Lucia Kings vs Trinbago Knight Riders ..VOR...?

50 up for Shakere Parris! Big hit off Noor! Not good bowling though.

102/2 after 9. TKR looking good. SLK needs a breakthrough!

Descarte to Pooran, SIX runs
miles into the St Lucian night sky, and beyond the long on fence! Length outside off. Pooran walks across his stumps and smears it all the way!

Descarte to Pooran, OUT
six and out! Descarte has his revenge! Full outside off and Pooran's eyes light up looking at the width. He has a swish at it but cuts across it too much, meaning that he does not generate the power or elevation he is after. Pierre runs in a couple of paces and snares the chance. Descarte is jubilant; Pooran, a little more mellowed. This could be a big moment in the game!

Nicholas Pooran c sub (K Pierre) b Descarte 17 (12b 0x4 2x6) SR: 141.66

Trinbago Knight Riders...(9.3/20 ov, T:18 109/3

Just what the SLK Dr ordered; The wicket of Nicky P! 666 then out Descarte strikes the big fish ! Pooran c Pierre b Descarte 17 off 12.

Need to bowl some tight overs here. Create some pressure and control.

Keacy Carty the new Batsman. A real touch player this. Game in the balance.

Aljo's pace now!

Oh wow youngster looks like he maybe uncomfortable against the short stuff. Pepper!

Joseph returns. Knight Riders still in control of this chase. 77 needed off 60


Alzarri Joseph to Parris, no run
dropped by Seifert - oh my! Sharp short ball on the stumps that gets big on Parris. He does not help himself by taking his eyes off the ball and the bat ends up being a periscope. Lobs up and Seifert dives forward. Gets both hands to it but the ball just pops out. Replay, though, suggests hit ball might have hit the arm guard rather than the bat or the glove

Well well well!A bumper to Shakere and he plays it in the air uncomfortably. Seifer ran forward dives got it in the gloves but spills it. On replay looks like it did not hit his gloves but Parris clearly has a weakness.

Tighten it up a different game now! Just 5 off the over 118/3.

Surely Aljo should get another go vs Parris?

The required run-rate is inching towards nine runs per over. 70 off 48 now

Odinlass: "Alzarri is looking very, very unhappy." -- And very, very fired up. He has to wait his turn, though. Here's Descarte again

70 from 48 RRR ticking up!

Something's got to give! Pressure boiling.

In reply to voiceofreason

Them boys need to start picking up some 2s

Only 4 off that Descarte over whose medium pace has proven big.

123/3 after 13.

65 off 42 now. Required run-rate up over nine runs per over. Noor returns

Noor Ahmad to Parris, OUT
the pressure tells, and Parris perishes! Googly floated up on a length outside off. Parris looks to go inside out but is not to the pitch of the ball. Slices across it too much and du Plessis, tracking it all the way from extra cover, gobbles up the chance. The Kings keep chipping away!

Shaqkere Parris c du Plessis b Noor Ahmad 57 (33b 1x4 6x6) SR: 172.72

Noor Ahmad to Pollard, SIX runs
Pollard lands his first punch! Slowed up a touch and bowled fuller outside off. Pollard is enticed into the lofted stroke and while he does not get it right out of the middle, he generates enough power to clear the deep extra cover fence!
