St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Barbados Royals, 3rd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Obed McCoy to Cottrell, out Cottrell Run Out!! 1 run completed. A run-out to complete the innings, there wasn't a second, but the batters chanced one, only for Cottrell to be caught well short. The Patriots finish with 149 on the board. Was another slower short ball and was heaved away in front of square on the on-side. Bishop was quick on the ball, his return was excellent and Thomas did the rest. Cottrell run out (Bishop/D Thomas) 1(1)

Obed McCoy to Dwayne Bravo, out Caught by Corbin Bosch!! Another excellent catch by Bosch, this time running across to his right from deep cover. No wonder, he's chuffed to bits - the slower short ball and Bravo is completely undone by the lack of pace and some extra bounce - had made room by backing away and then plays an awkward looking jab, high over cover. Was dropping in no man's land, but Bosch made a lot of ground by running to his right, slid across and completed a safe catch. Dwayne Bravo c Corbin Bosch b Obed McCoy 7(5) [6s-1]

Obed McCoy to Dwayne Bravo, SIX, that has been drilled, was the slower length ball and was picked early by Bravo - backed away and then went back over the bowler with a monstrous blow, straight over the sight-screen

Ramon Simmonds to Duan Jansen, FOUR, top-edge and four, banged in short and pushed across the right-hander, Jansen was swinging to the leg-side, catches a massive top-edge, behind square on the on-side, bounced right in front of the ropes

Ramon Simmonds to Pretorius, out Caught by Holder!! Back-to-back wickets for Simmonds and he finds himself on a hat-trick, kept it full and just outside off - Pretorius backed away on the lofted drive, sliced it slightly, flat and hard, and down Holder's throat at long-off. Pretorius c Holder b Ramon Simmonds 2(4)

Ramon Simmonds to Fletcher, out Caught by Corbin Bosch!! Another catch and it's Bosch once again, this time at cover and he's catching everything tonight. That ends Fletcher 's entertining knock of 81 - was full and angled across the right-hander, Fletcher was looking to swing it over mid-wicket, hoicked across the line and gets a thick leading edge. Bosch settled under it, the ball did swirl in front of him, but he did manage to hold on. Fletcher c Corbin Bosch b Ramon Simmonds 81(55) [4s-11 6s-1]

Holder to Fletcher, FOUR, nicely played, short and wide of off, Fletcher stays leg-sided and then clears backward point with the cut, bounced away to the ropes in a hurry

Holder to Brevis, out Caught by Corbin Bosch!! Brevis has holed out to long-on, played the pick-up whip, got plenty of height, but not the distance. Another calm catch from Bosch, standing right in front of the ropes. Was the slower ball from Holder, bowled from the back of the hand, and although Brevis did pick it, he didn't have any pace to work with. Brevis c Corbin Bosch b Holder 4(2) [4s-1]

Obed McCoy to Fletcher, FOUR, more runs, it's another boundary - slower ball around off, Fletcher swivels across and then bludgeons the pull past square leg, didn't get it off the middle of the bat, but placed it rather well

Obed McCoy to Fletcher, FOUR, hammered, this is turning out to be an expensive over - McCoy looks for the wide yorker, but he has offered a juicy full-toss, smashed wide of extra-cover and there's no need to run for those

Obed McCoy to Fletcher, SIX, thumped, another slower ball, but the length was right in Fletcher's zone - he spots the change of pace and then muscles the pull over deep mid-wicket for a maximum

Obed McCoy to Fletcher, FOUR, streaky and four, full and wide of off, Fletcher backed away and then threw his hands on the drive, squirts a thick inside edge that runs away past the keeper and into the ropes

Corbin Bosch to Brevis, FOUR, cracking shot, short and at the stumps, Brevis swivels across and hen pulls it over backward square leg, off the mark with a boundary

Corbin Bosch to Fletcher, FOUR, nicely played, a handy boundary for Fletcher - back of a length and at the stumps, he swivels across and pulls it behind square on the on-side for a boundary

Corbin Bosch to Rutherford, out Caught&Bowled!! This has gone straight up in the air - Bosch calls for the catch, the ball kept swirling in the air, but when it dropped down, he was in a great position to accept the return catch. A massive top-edge on the pull, went miles high into the night sky, the bowler called for the catch and he completed it with ease even as he tumbled down. Rutherford c and b Corbin Bosch 9(7) [6s-1]

Corbin Bosch to Rutherford, SIX, clubbed, fraction short and Rutherford is early to pick it, swivels across and then pummels the pull over square leg, went a long way into the stands

Ramon Simmonds to Rutherford, byes, FOUR, that's gone through everyone, shoddy keeping from Thomas and he concedes four byes - yorker length delivery outside off, Rutherford was looking to jam it out and missed, snuck past the bottom of the bat and the keeper semed surprised at the pace at which it arrived, lets the ball go through his mitts and into the ropes

Holder to Darren Bravo, out Caught by Corbin Bosch!! A low full-toss and Bravo has found long-off to perfection. He stares in dismay, but will have to make the long walk back to the dug-out. Went too hard on the lofted drive and skewed it off the toe-end of the bat, lots of height but no real elevation - Corbin Bosch waited on it and completed a simple catch. Darren Bravo c Corbin Bosch b Holder 7(8)

Obed McCoy to Fletcher, 1 run, another of McCoy's signature off-cutters, cramps Fletcher for room and he can only get a bottom-edge to point.

Ramon Simmonds to Fletcher, FOUR, superb timing! Was a slower ball and Fletcher had to wait forever to play the pull shot. Did so and it looked like an effortless stroke, got it between short fine leg and deep square leg with precision. Hardly seemed to hit this

Bishop to Joshua Da Silva, wide, out Stumped!! Smart bowling from Bishop and Royals finally have a breakthrough! Joshua gave away his plans way too early, gave the charge even before the bowler had delivered and Bishop smartly fired this very wide outside off. Noway Joshua was reaching this and D Thomas takes it well to effect a regulation stumping. Joshua Da Silva st D Thomas b Bishop 19(18) [4s-2]

Obed McCoy to Joshua Da Silva, FOUR, deft touch! Joshua makes room early again and forces McCoy to go wider, and then just opens the face at the last moment. Beats the keeper and third man is a tad too square. Nicely placed

Obed McCoy to Joshua Da Silva, no run, dropped! Bad cricket all-round. Juicy full toss, Joshua could have put this anywhere but his drill-drive is straight back at a comfortable height to McCoy who can't latch on. Not an easy catch, these never are but you expect them to be taken at this level

Corbin Bosch to Fletcher, FOUR, Fletcher is having a move on now and these are ominous signs for the Royals! Dug in short but it sits up nicely for the batter. Fletcher backs away and swat-pulls this to the deep mid-wicket fence

Corbin Bosch to Fletcher, FOUR, this is why Bosch wanted to stay clear of Fletcher's arc! That hand-speed is something else. This is right in the slot, and he powers it straight back past the bowler. No chance for mid-on to move

Ramon Simmonds to Fletcher, FOUR, hammered! Expect the shorter boundary to be peppered in this game. Fletcher shuffles across early and gets a harmless dragdown around the hips, he muscles the pull through mid-wicket and there is nobody in the deep that side. Sweeper is at deep square leg

Ramon Simmonds to Fletcher, FOUR, a bit too straight in line and these are easy pickings for Fletcher who shuffles inside the line and helps it away very fine, well to the right of short fine leg

Holder to Fletcher, FOUR, big top-edge, but sails well over the keeper and nearly goes all the way. Sharp bumper from Holder, well-directed and had Fletcher in a lot of tangle on the pull shot

Corbin Bosch to Joshua Da Silva, FOUR, loose start from Bosch, strays on the pads with fine leg up and Joshua Da Silva just had to beat that fielder in the ring. Gets a fine tickle away past the infield
