Sheldon Cottrell to Johnson Charles, FOUR! Charles opens his account this season with a boundary. Fuller in length and outside off, Charles drills his drive down the ground. Dominic Drakes dives across to his right from mid off, gets a hand to it as well but the ball still races away to the fence behind.

Paul van Meekeren to Glenn Phillips, OUT! A big mix-up and it's a run out! Brilliant work done by Devon Thomas, the keeper. Fuller in length, close to off, Glenn Phillips flicks it behind square leg and rushes for a run. He wants the second run as well and keeps running at the striker's end without looking at his partner who is ball-watching. Asif Ali does well to make a sliding stop and has a shy at the keeper's end. Devon tries to collect the ball but misses. Charles now takes off and scampers to the bowler's end but Devon Thomas recovers quickly, is out of balance but still manages to release an accurate throw to hit the stumps. Johnson Charles is not even in the frame. Poor cricket from him.

Paul van Meekeren to Shai Hope, FOUR! Short and around off, Shai Hope stands back and pulls it powerfully down to long on for a boundary.

Paul van Meekeren to Shai Hope, FOUR! Bang! Width is given outside off, short in length, Shai Hope accepts the invitation and slaps it over point for a boundary. 11 runs from the over along with a run out.

Sheldon Cottrell to Glenn Phillips, OUT! Devon Thomas is at it again! A 119 kph delivery, short and wide outside off, Phillips stands across in his stance as he tries to cut but gets a thick outside edge behind. Thomas dives across to his right, stretches both his hands out and ends up pouching it with his right hand. He is confident and appeals and the umpires get together. They have a long chat and then refer it upstairs. The soft signal is out. The third umpire watches numerous replays and then rules it in the favour of the fielding side. The replays were not completely conclusive but enough to back the soft signal. Devon somehow had the ball stuck near his chest. Big wicket, the Kiwi departs.

3.3
Paul van Meekeren to Jason Holder, FOUR! Wrong line and easy pickings for the batsman. Short in length and angling down the leg side, Holder stays back and pulls it wide of short fine leg for a boundary. The skipper is off the mark. 144 needed off 99 balls.

Paul van Meekeren to Jason Holder, EDGED AND FOUR! Devon Thomas should have gone for the catch. Paul van Meekeren delivers it on a good length around off, shaping away, Holder tries to push inside the line and edges it behind. It flies through the gap between the keeper and first slip for a boundary. Devon was very late to realize and a chance goes begging.

6.2
Dominic Drakes to Jason Holder, OUT! Excellent catch from Sherfane Rutherford, he is having a night to remember. Dominic Drakes dishes it out wide outside off, on a length, Holder hangs back to heave it probably over the leg side but gets a big top edge behind the bowler. Sherfane Rutherford reacts quickly to his left from long on, has Sheldon Cottrell also in his sight who is moving across to his right from long off. Rutherford though keeps his eyes on the ball as he runs full throttle and catches the ball safely with a dive. The Royals are in a spot of bother.

10.4
Fabian Allen to Kyle Mayers, OUT! Another wicket falls! Fabian Allen has a wicket. He drags his length short and delivers it around middle. Kyle Mayers moves deep inside the crease and heaves it across the line over mid-wicket. It's hit against the wind and Asif Ali runs in from the deep to take the catch safely. 109 needed off 56 balls.

Fawad Ahmed to Azam Khan, SIX! Smashed away! Full and floated around middle, Azam Khan jumps down the track and powers it over long on for a biggie.

Fabian Allen to Shai Hope, FOUR! Bang! Flatter and fuller on middle, Hope clears his front leg and crunches it over the bowler's head for a powerful boundary.

Dwayne Bravo to Shai Hope, FOUR! Well played although from the toe end of the bat! Bravo delivers it wide outside off, Shai reaches out and steers it through the gap between backward point and short third man.

Dwayne Bravo to Shai Hope, SIX! Hope has decided to target Bravo here. A delivery on a length, around leg, Hope latches onto it and launches it over deep backward square leg for a maximum.

14.2
Sheldon Cottrell to Shai Hope, OUT! Out comes The Salute from Sheldon Cottrell. Barbados' final Hope falls. Fuller in length and outside off, Hope goes down on one knee and slog sweeps it flat over mid-wicket. It's aerial and travelling but falls straight down the throat of Fabian Allen in the deep. He makes no mistake. The idea from Shai was right but not the execution. Didn't get the desired connection on his shot. 72 needed off 34 balls.

15.1
Dwayne Bravo to Azam Khan, SIX! High and handsome! Bravo delivers a slower one, a touch short and outside leg, Azam steps back to make room and pulls it all the way over square leg. We have seen him do that in the PSL and Barbados Royals would love a few from his bat at the moment.

16.1
Dominic Drakes to Thisara Perera, OUT! Thisara holes out at long on! Drakes delivers it short and around off, Perera makes room and pulls it down the ground. He has not got all behind this shot and ends up hitting it aerially down to Dwayne Bravo who is not going to drop those. Another nail in the coffin.

16.6
Dominic Drakes to Ashley Nurse, FOUR! Drakes finally finds the edge but it benefits the batter. Fuller in length and on off, angling away, Nurse tries to push it through the line but edges it wide of short third man for a boundary. 55 needed off 18 balls.

Dwayne Bravo to Azam Khan, SIX! Azam Khan has nailed that! He is not going down without a fight. Bravo delivers it on a length and outside off, Azam keeps his weight on the back leg and rockets it over long off for a biggie.

Sheldon Cottrell to Hayden Walsh, SIX! This one has been dismissed! A bit late in the day but they all count. Full in length, around off and angling in, Walsh clubs it down the ground and clears the jumping fielder at wide long on.

Sheldon Cottrell to Hayden Walsh, SIX! Late blows but not enough. Cottrell lands it on a length and around off, Walsh exercises his arms and smokes it into the night sky over mid-wicket. We have lost the ball. This last over is taking ages to finish.
