Four! The batter lofts this over the infield and collects a boundary.
4.6

Ayub overturns a LBW decision. Rahkeem Cornwall serves it flatter again, bowling a bit more round-arm and angling it into the stumps. Saim Ayub lunges across to the off side to sweep but misses and gets hit on the front pad, right in front of the stumps. There's an appeal for LBW, and it's been given. Saim Ayub does review it. The third umpire is called in and UltraEdge shows that there's a spike when the ball is next to the underside of the gloves. The on-field decision is overturned. Not Out!

Bowled flatter and fuller around off, wristily driven past extra cover for a single.

Floated up on off, Ayub leans on and pushes it down to long off for a single.

Keacy Carty c Shadab Khan b Alzarri Joseph 9 (8)

OUT! CAUGHT! Brilliant from Shadab Khan, and Alzarri Joseph comes back strongly after that boundary on the first ball. Joseph goes quick and full, serving it around the fifth stump line. Keacy Carty isn't quite expecting it and is late on the drive, but still gets a good piece of it. The ball pings off the blade and seems to be going over cover, but Shadab Khan times his jump to perfection and pouches it with both hands. A very sharp take and the Kingsmen are now 30/2.
3.3

That's carried through nicely. Joseph hits a shorter length outside off, bowling at a whopping 149.4 kph and this one flies through. Carty leaps up to cut but is well beaten.
3.2

Hard length, at 147.7 kph and slightly straighter in line. Carty hops to defend.
3.1

FOUR! That's flown away to the fence. Full of a length, pushed wide of the off stump. Carty extends those arms and thwacks it away in front of point for a boundary.
2.6

FOUR! Expertly done by Sadaqat. Dug in a bit shorter over middle and leg, Sadaqat shuffles to the off side and laps it high and over the keeper, down to fine leg for a boundary.
2.5

Hard length around off, pace off again at 122.9 kph. Sadaqat has a wild swing across the line and is well beaten.

FOUR! A touch of class from Sadaqat this time. Slower one, back of a length and wide outside off. Sadaqat waits back and just angles it wide of the first slip, running it down to deep third for a boundary.
2.3

Play and a miss! Seales goes fuller and a bit slower, slanting it across off stump. Sadaqat looks to drive but misses.
2.2

Good length in the channel, carries through nicely. Carty plays away from the body, and the ball flies off the outside half of the blade, wide of deep third for a single.

2.1

Short of a good length, a bit of width on offer as well. Carty rocks back and punches it through covers for a couple of runs.
1.6

FOUR! Hoicked away by Sadaqat. A smidge fuller, shaping into middle and leg. Sadaqat picks it up and swings it away wide to the right of deep square leg for a boundary.
1.5

Good length again, angled in from wider on the crease and onto the pads. Carty gets an inside edge while looking to flick and the ball thuds off the pad to square leg for a single.
1.4

Good change-up from Alzarri. Joseph sees Sadaqat shuffling around and takes pace off, bowling it full and outside off at 124.4 kph. Sadaqat moves past the off stump to lap but gets it off the pads to the off side for a leg bye.
1.3

Good-length delivery, sliding onto the pads. Keacy Carty tucks it neatly behind square leg and gets off the mark with a single.
1.2

Hard length, on off and middle, Sadaqat hangs back and blocks it down to mid on for a single.

0.0

Jayden Seales strikes in the very last delivery of the first over. Keacy Carty walks in to replace Kirk Mckenzie. Also, it will be Alzarri Joseph, bowling from the other end.
0.6

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Excellent comeback from Jayden Seales after that six on the first ball, and the Falcons have their first wicket. Seales keeps chipping away at that nagging length, bowling it fractionally short of a good length and gets the ball to angle away from the off stump. Kirk Mckenzie has a loose waft at it and edges it to the right of first slip, where Rahkeem Cornwall snaffles it brilliantly with those big bucket hands of his. The Kingsmen are 7/1.
