Fazalhaq Farooqi to Mayers, out Mayers Run Out!! Mayers has to go! Slower length delivery on the pads, loud shout for lbw is turned down, it dribbles into the off-side and Mayers has to dive back into his ground as there's a direct-hit. Looked like he made his ground. Meanwhile Pooran decides to review, no bat involved and comfortably heading down leg, poor review. Hang on though, Mayers is in trouble with the run-out. The bat just bounced and lifted off the ground before making it over the line. Excellent throw and Mayers is very disappointed as he walks off.

Mayers run out (Mousley) 22(14) [6s-3]

Alzarri Joseph to Narine, out Caught by Akeal Hosein!! Great catch from Hosein. Full outside off, Narine went after it and only managed to slice it up in the air, Hosein ran to his right from extra cover and took a very good catch, hurt himself a little as he tumbled but looks alright.

Alzarri Joseph to Holder, out Caught by Tom Banton!! That's a brilliant catch! Slower length delivery wide outside off, Holder looks to go down the ground and gets it off the top half, goes high in the air and Banton covers lots of ground to his left from long-on and slides before poucing it safely. Excellent stuff.

Romario Shepherd | Player of the Match:
Feels good, we knew how important this game was. Was relaxed because Pooran was there. Was just trying to get to the last over and seeing what I could get. Whenever you do good in one department it gives you confidence in the others. Still want to be a complete all-rounder that can bowl at any stage.

Nicholas Pooran:
Very happy. Great performance with both bat and ball. Really crucial to have that power-hitting down the order. Gives us that flexibility. Fielding is something we stressed on, really proud of the guys. Nice to see these guys taking catches and diving around. From the bowling aspect, everyone did their job.

Sunil Narine:
We were going good till the 18th over but we had to have a fielder in for the slow over-rate and Shepherd is a powerful player. It's hard to keep up with the over-rate with just one spinner. You wouldn't want those things (extras), it's something we have to look at and fix next game. We've been losing a cluster of wickets, still played good cricket, we started off good. Need to get on top of the key moments
