Mehidy Hasan to Tharanga, out Bowled!! Knocked him over. Superb from Mehidy. Tharanga looked all at sea against the off-spinner and finally, has been done by a top-class delivery. It was pitched up, with slightly more air than the previous ball. Tharanga came forward and played for the arm-ball. The ball spun a bit, beats his outside edge and kisses the off-pole.

Sami to Andre Fletcher, out Caught by Franklin!! Fletcher goes for a two-ball duck. No fireworks from the Windies batsman today. With his feet still at the crease, looks to go over the in-field on the on-side, ends up dragging it off the toe-end and offers a simple catch to Franklin at mid-on. Sami and the Kings are pumped with the early breakthrough. Andre Fletcher c Franklin b Sami 0(2)
