44444444 to Fletcher

2.3
Alzarri Joseph to Fletcher, FOUR, to deep backward point
2.2
Alzarri Joseph to Fletcher, FOUR, hammered, Alzarri drags the length back as Fletcher came down the pitch - he still adjusts, rolls his wrists and then pulls it in front of square on the on-side, beating the fielder in the deep

Pace on the ball won't work

2.6
Alzarri Joseph to Fletcher, 5 wides

A J ....you better than that

3.3
K Pierre to Mayers, FOUR, beautifully played, tad too short from Pierre - allows Mayers to go back and he brings his powerful arms into play, punches it over the non-striker's head and beats long-on to his right
3.5
K Pierre to Mayers, FOUR, too straight from Pierre - the drift takes it down leg and it's an easy slog-sweep for Mayers, places it over backward square leg and collects another boundary
3.6
K Pierre to Mayers, FOUR, 12 off the over, Pierre goes slower and wider of off - Mayers lost his shape slightly as he looked to slog it over cover, ended up carving it high over cover-point, the ball bounces away to the ropes

4.2
Wiese to Mayers, out Caught by Roston Chase!! That's a sharp catch at cover and Wiese has struck for the Kings.

Mayers c Roston Chase b Wiese 13(9) [4s-3]

Can we acknowledge that for a really tall man Chase is an excellent fielder in any position??

5.2
K Pierre to Fletcher, out Bowled!! The Patriots have lost both openers now - it's the slider once again, pushed through with the arm and it kept coming back at the right-hander, Fletcher is completely cramped up and chooses the wrong shot - too full to be trying to pull, he misses and the ball clatters into the middle-stump.

Fletcher b K Pierre 25(19) [4s-4 6s-1]

5.4
K Pierre to Mikyle Louis, out Bowled!! It's the slider once again and another batter has been cleaned up. Was pushed through quicker and on off, Louis lazily wafts forward, a big gap between bat and pad, the ball catches the inside edge and it then crashes into the leg-stump.

Mikyle Louis b K Pierre 2(2)

In reply to Narper

Well that was a promising few overs

BUT with both openers gone...

I would be surprised if they pull this off now...needed at least 80 plus with them still there in my opinion

Rest my case,.,the stumps keep inviting the ball to kiss them.

excellent bowling

Our younger guys not cutting it wid de bat

6.6
Roston Chase to Rossouw, 1 run, a chance and Chase can't hold on, flatter and wider of off, Rossouw backed away and flat-batted it to the bowler's right - Chase did stretch his right hand out, but the ball didn't stick

8.1
Roston Chase to Rossouw, out Caught by Charles!! Catching practice at short third and the Patriots are falling away in a heap. Was a pre-meditated reverse sweep, but Rossouw couldn't get on top of the bounce - the top-edge is found and the ball flies straight into the hands of Charles at short third.

Rossouw c Charles b Roston Chase 11(12) [4s-1]

Dis done SLK Champs on the way!

9.5
Shamsi to Holder, SIX, massive, this is a good counter-punch from Holder, tossed up on off, Holder gets a big stride forward and then drives through the line, high and onto the roof at long-on
9.4
Shamsi to Holder, SIX, clubbed, much needed momentum for the Patriots - Shamsi tried to drag the length back, but this is a half-tracker and Holder has deposited it into the grass banks at mid-wicket
9.3
Shamsi to Holder, FOUR, hammered, too full from Shamsi - it's right in the slot and Holder has drilled it back past the non-striker, one bounce and over the ropes

11.4
Alzarri Joseph to Navian Bidaisee, 1 run, oh no! A sitter and no one gets a hand to it. Short of length delivery and once again too quick for Bidaisee, he gets it off the splice and the ball goes straight up, backward point and cover converge but both don't go for the catch,

11.6
Alzarri Joseph to Holder, FOUR, to deep backward point

Alzarri Joseph to Holder, SIX, to deep mid-wicket
