    8.2 Cries of catch-it and Keemo Paul swallows it with glee! Guptill was not going anywhere today, striking below 100. Tries to up the scoring rate but Tahir gets the better of him. Was a legbreak on off, he frees his arms, but fails to gets under the ball. Does not get the required elevation as long-on gobbles it up. Tahir sets off in celebration like he so often does. 59/3
    1.1 Gets the wicket off the first ball! Gets the length ball to shape just a touch away from the batter. He throws his hands at it, looking to flay it through the off side. Not a lot of feet movement, he gets a fine tickle through to Azam Khan, who ain't dropping those. What a start for Shepherd, who is having a stellar tournament. 2/1
    4.4 Edged and a stunning catch by Azam Khan! WOW! Good length ball that angles well away from Pooran's arc. He goes hard at it, and gets a thick edge, but Azam Khan moves swiftly to his left, leaps and plucks out a one-handed stunner. That catch will make a lot of highlight reels, I am sure. 34/2
    13.2 Oh, direct hit from deep fine leg has caught Tucker miles out! What a stunning bit of fielding from Hemraj. Wow. That was a back of a length ball on his hip as he pulled it to the left of Azam. Hemraj covers good ground as Tucker runs back for the second, is found short 98/4

    15.2 Was there an edge? Nope. Thought I heard something. Pacy back of a length ball outside off, he lines up a cut, misses. There is a review, eventually. And UltraEdge shows a thick edge edge. So my ears are working fine. Russell was almost swooped off his feet as he tried to cut that away. Replays confirm there was a slight bottom edge through to the keeper. 122/5
    18.5 Full outside off, he gets across and bunts it to deep midwicket. Calls for a second and Motie has effected a direct throw from deep midwicket. Has he found Pollard short? Oh, he has. That is stunning work. Don't think Pollard was over-stretching there and that has cost him 156/6
    19.4 Top-edge that balloons straight up and Azam gobbles it up easily. Back of a length ball on off, he gets across looking to help it away. Gets a top edge and Azam does the rest. 168/7
    19.6 The innings ends with a wicket! Goes short into the rib cage of Narine, who helps it fine but Hemraj at short fine moves to his left and takes a good catch. 172/8

    13.6 Oh, dear, the scoop gone wrong and a timely dismissal for TKR! Length ball on middle stump, he shuffles across, and eyes the scoop. The ball though hits the cue end of his blade and spoons straight up. Russell sprints down and completes a good catch on his followthrough. 111/2
    2.5 He's flicked it straight to deep backward square leg. Oh, he couldn't have picked out the fielder better. Good length ball on his hips. He gets across and clips, but a bit too well and straight to Pooran, who makes no mistake. The crowd is pumped, Russell is pumped and TKR are away. 18/1
    16.4 Miscues and long off runs it to complete a good catch. That angle from around the wicket does the trick for Ali. Length ball outside off, Hope was looking to go squarer I suspect. But ends up slicing it towards long off where the sub-fielder kept his composure running in 144/3

    18.5 Not done yet? Hetmyer wanted to seal it with a six, but can't quite latch on. Low full on middle and leg. He clears his front leg eyeing the deep midwicket fence, but gets it off the bottom of the bat. Pooran does the rest 169/4
