- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.6 Tossed full right into the blockhole and he ends up making a mess of his stumps, ball straightens and skids on, he tried to whack it leg-side and gets late in connecting. Big wicket 132/35.1 Over the wicket, darts in a thunderbolt in the channel, a rash show down the ground and it ruffled him with the pace, he lofts it in the air and has been taken at mid-on, it kicked off the deck at midriff height and he just forces it down 34/110.2 Hits a shorter length and gives room on the off-side, drags it across the line and sends it miles in the air, safe pair of hands in the deep as Allen takes a neat catch at long-on near the rope, got little bit of a top-edge! Huge wicket and just at the right time 97/219.3 Slower and close to a length at off, gone miles in the air and Krishnamurthy takes another fine catch at long-on. Excellent innings, injected a lot of impetus to the innings with his quickfire 48 177/716.3 That's an absolute screamer! Pitched up on off, lifts it but not enough to clear the rope, he ran across and made it look so easy, Hardie dives forward and pockets a spectacular catch 155/417.4 Wide of the crease, length-ish and comes back in a shade, tried to club it over long-on but he ends up getting more height than distance as Krishnamurthy takes a brilliant catch! 160/517.5 Harry on a hattrick! Back of a length and nibbling in the corridor, tight lines, goes for a drive and the temptation brings about his demise, gets a faint edge to the keeper, Haris is having a ball this season! 160/6Extras7 (lb 4, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL184/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.2)Fall of wickets: 1-34 (Andre Fletcher, 5.1 ov), 2-97 (Andre Russell, 10.2 ov), 3-132 (Colin Munro, 13.6 ov), 4-155 (Rovman Powell, 16.3 ov), 5-160 (Jason Holder, 17.4 ov), 6-160 (Saif Badar, 17.5 ov), 7-177 (Matthew Tromp, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 Over the wicket, wrecks the stumps with a corker of a delivery! Hard length and it swerves away a touch, ball keeping a touch low and hits the off-stump, wanted to crunch a pull and ends up missing it completely 33/21.1 One slip in place. Short and angled into off, comes down the track and makes an unforced error, chips it straight to Powell at mid-off who didn't have to move much to catch. Massive wicket! Allen's lean patch continues 9/114.1 asking rate escalating nearing 11. Around the wicket, shorter thunderbolt zipping across off, gets a feather edge and keeper takes a regulation catch; wanted to get on top of the bounce and smack it away, not quite able to deal with the searing pace and bounce 120/63.3 Holder is turning it on big time! What a bowler! He has turned the tables on SFU! Hits a nagging length and got it to nibble across a touch, he thought it's an inswinger but it just held its line and wobbled across a bit, flummoxed him completely with some seriously good bowling! What a spell! 37/34.1 Over the wicket, LAKR are on fire! Caribbean flavor is ruling the roost! On a length and curving across off, not fully through the shot and chipped back to Russell who dives forward and pockets a nifty low-catch! SFU in a big spot of bother! 42/413.1 Another twist in the tale! LAKR swing the pendulum! Over the wicket, a legbreak outside off. Fingers are right underneath the ball so it's a clean catch at short cover. This is going to be interesting now. Excellent bowling change. He will boil it down as soft dismissal 118/518.6 What a breathtaking innings it has proved to be! Totally changed the complexion of the game. Gets a length ball from over the wicket and it's a bit too straight, appeal for an lbw, not given and Holder reviews immediately. Looks pretty adjacent in the replay. He was shaping for a pull behind square. pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting wickets fully so it's a successful review! Another massive twist in this fascinating tale! But take a bow, what an innings, breathed life into this contest! 173/915.2 Shorter ball at middle and leg, he flicks it in the air and the man at deep square takes a gem of a catch, diving forward and swooping like a star to gobble it up 129/716.4 Pitches it on back of a length from a wider angle and then aims for the middle-stump, hits the top of middle-stump as he looked to squeeze out into the off-side. Wheels continue to come off with just Hammad standing in the way of LAKR 142/819.1 Over the wicket, short of a length outside off with not much pace to work with, he hacks it straight to the man stationed at deep midwicket and admonishes himself! LAKR manage to hold their nerve and have moved to the second spot, just behind Unicorns 173/10Extras9 (lb 1, w 8)TOTAL173 all out (19.1 Overs, RR: 9.02)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Finn Allen, 1.1 ov), 2-33 (Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 3.1 ov), 3-37 (Sanjay Krishnamurthi, 3.3 ov), 4-42 (Aaron Hardie, 4.1 ov), 5-118 (Hassan Khan, 13.1 ov), 6-120 (Matthew Short, 14.1 ov), 7-129 (Xavier Bartlett, 15.2 ov), 8-142 (Brody Couch, 16.4 ov), 9-173 (Hammad Azam, 18.6 ov), 10-173 (Haris Rauf, 19.1 ov)
