Saint Lucia Kings have won the toss and have opted to bat

Chase: We are gonna bat first. Just the make-up of our team. Posting a score and defending it is our strong suit. (on his finger) Still giving a bit of pain. One change.

Holder: We would have bowled. Our bowlers have been doing well. Get some new-ball wickets. Two changes. It's always a test here in Saint Lucial.

Saurabh Netravalkar to Andries Gous, FOUR, to long-off

Gawn !!!!

1.2

Jason Holder to Kamil Pooran, no run, Jason Holder is celebrating. The umpire sends it upstairs to check if it's a clean catch. Angles in a length ball from wide of the crease. The line and angle forces the batter to play at it. The ball decks away after pitching on a length. Replays actually show that the ball swung away late in the air. Definite outside edge as Pooran sticks his bat out to have a feel for it. Did the ball carry to the keeper? Don't think Andre Fletcher has his gloves under the ball. NOT OUT and Pooran survives

Not out - hit the ground

Jason Holder to Kamil Pooran, FOUR, stand and deliver. Length ball outside off

Jason Holder to Kamil Pooran, FOUR, back-to-back fours! Holder pulls his length back a fraction, Pooran stands tall to swat it over the mid-on fielder. Obed McCoy runs back from mid-on and slides to try and flick it back into play. The boundary rope moves, the ball doesn't get to the line. But McCoy picks up the ball with his feet outside the rope's initial position. So that's a boundary

Saurabh Netravalkar to Kamil Pooran, SIX, fullish ball, it's right in the hitting arc. Pooran gets under the ball and swings hard to pump it over long-off. Good swing of the bat for a 73m six
