Tallawahs innings:

JT 165/6 in 20 overs (Russell 50, Brathwaite 21): Russell clobbers a six first ball and ends the innings with a four a huge six! He goes to a smashing fifty off 23 balls but its in vain. Jamaica falls short by 19 runs. Seven wins in a row for Trinbago.

Pollard brings himself on for the final over.

38 runs from 6 balls

JT 147/6 in 19 overs (Russell 33, Brathwaite 20): Single from Brathwaite first ball. Over to Russell. Wide and full, but Russell gets enough bat on that to take it to the deep cover boundary. Russell misses a full toss!! Wry smiles from Bravo and Russell as he looks at his bat. Bravo ends the over conceding just 3 runs from 4 balls. That's the game then..

TKR calls for a meeting in the middle. This game is far from done. Bravo with the crucial penultimate over.

46 runs from 12 balls

JT 139/6 in 18 overs (Russell 27, Brathwaite 18): Seales comes on for his first over of the innings and is welcomed with a straight hit for a six. Russell on one leg slaps a full length delivery over covers for a four. He follows it up with a same shot but with a better connection. Result: another four. Hang on here... Waist high full toss and Russell deposits for another maximum!

68 runs from 18 balls

JT 117/6 in 17 overs (Russell 13, Brathwaite 11): Deft touch from Brathwaite to guide a leg-cutter from Narine behind for a four. Russell climbs all over a half-volley length from Narine. The ball is launched into the leg side for a six.

80 runs from 24 balls

JT 105/6 in 16 overs (Russell 7, Brathwaite 6): Brathwaite whips a full delivery behind square for a four. 100 up for Jamaica. But importantly for TKR, Russell continues to remain off strike. He is batting on 7 from 7 deliveries.

JT 98/6 in 15 overs (Russell 6, Brathwaite 1): WICKET! Jamaica is falling apart here. Ali scoops the ball back to Narine, who completes a tumbling catch to his right. Carlos Brathwaite is the new abtsman.

JT 97/5 in 14 overs (Russell 6, Ali 7): WICKET! Wide slower ball and Phillips ends up mistiming it high into the air and into the hands of Seifert. Asif Ali gets off the mark by swivelling the ball behind square for a four.

JT 85/4 in 13 overs (Russell 1, Phillips 41): WICKET! Bowled him through the gate! Alam with the googly and Powell fails to pick it up. Andre Russell time. 100 needed from 42 balls.

JT 84/3 in 12 overs (Powell 2, Phillips 41): Pierre finishes his spell conceding just 25 runs while picking up a wicket.

Surprised Russell isn't in yet. He is playing only as a batsman in this match.

JT 78/3 in 11 overs (Phillips 37): Fawad bowls it full down the leg and Phillips swings it high across the line for a six! Intent shown from both batsmen after the drinks break. Bonner goes across the line as well but misses. Fawad pitches it on middle and hits the back leg on the sweep shot. The umpire gives him out. Powell is the new man in.

JT 70/2 in 10 overs (Bonner 25, Phillips 30): Pierre back into the attack and completes an economical over. TKR well on top in the halfway stage of the chase.

JT 66/2 in 9 overs (Bonner 23, Phillips 28): Phillips picks up the slower delivery and slaps it past point for a four.

DJ Bravo into the attack.

JT 15/2 in 2 overs (Bonner 1, Phillips 0) WICKET! Pierre strikes as well. He tosses it on the off-stump line and Blackwood looks to deposit into the leg side but completely misses it. He has his off-stumped disturbed.

Pierre, another slow left-arm bowler, with the second over of the innings

JT 8/1 in 1 over (Blackwood 8, Phillips 0) WICKET! Gone first ball! Walton slashes a delivery right into the hands of the point fielder. TKR starts with spin in the form of Hosein and Pollard is rewarded early. Jermaine Blackwood gets going by cashing it on two short and wide deliveries. Two boundaries to begin his innings.

Phillips and Walton are the opening batsmen for Jamaica.

TKR 142/3 in 17 overs (Munro 54, Pollard 5): Full toss wide of Munro but he moves across and slaps it to the deep mid-wicket boundary for a six! He goes to his second fifty of the season with a four to the same region. Expensive spell from Powell: 4-0-48-0. 18 runs from the over.

TKR 124/3 in 16 overs (Munro 43, Pollard 1): Powerful reverse sweeps from Munro; one in front of square and the other square as the ball races to the boundary. 11 runs from the over.

TKR 83/2 in 10 overs (Munro 23, Seifert 1): WICKET! Lamichhane gets the breakthrough. He tosses it wide and Simmons looks to heave it to the leg side but only ends up top edging to the short third man fielder. Tim Seifert is the new batsman.

TKR 75/1 in 9 overs (Simmons 25, Munro 16): Simmons with his second six of the innings, comes down the track and nails the delivery over the deep mid-wicket boundary. An expensive over from Powell; 14 runs of it.

TKR 61/1 in 8 overs (Simmons 14, Munro 15): Tidy start from Sandeep Lamichhane.

TKR 58/1 in 7 overs (Simmons 12, Munro 14): Munro pierces the offside field with an uppish cover drive to find the boundary. Munro ends the over with another boundary off the back foot, as he punches the ball to the deep cover region.

TKR 49/1 in 6 overs (Simmons 12, Munro 6): Edwards is welcomed back into the attack with another six. He slides down the leg and Simmons flicks it behind square for a six!

TKR 32/1 in 3 overs (Simmons 2, Munro 0): Carlos Brathwaite replaces Edwards, but the result is the same. Narine smashes his first three deliveries for a four. Brathwaite has the last laugh, however. He rolls his fingers across and pulls the length short on fifth stump. Narine rocks back on the back foot and has a wild slash but ends up feathering an edge behind. He departs for 29 off 11 deliveries.

TKR 20/0 in 2 overs (Simmons 2, Narine 17): Pace off the ball helps Jamaica apply the breaks on the scoring rate. Three from the over including a wide.

Jamaica turns to Mujeeb

TKR 17/0 in 1 over (Simmons 1, Narine 16): Narine makes room first ball and slashes a short delivery over the slips for a four. Edwards bowls into his rib cage, but Narine swivels to drag it behind square for another four. Edwards with a sharp bouncer to finish the over but Narine gets enough wood on that pull. The pace of the delivery takes it behind all the way for a six! What a start for TKR.

Sunil Narine and Lendl Simmons walk out to open for TKR. Fidel Edwards with the ball.

Toss: Jamaica wins toss, will bowl first. Andre Russell is fit and will be in the playing XI says skipper Rovman Powell. Sunil Narine is back for TKR.
