| 5.2 | OUT | McDonald to E Lewis, out Caught by de Zoysa!! Thin edge and that will do. Slow and angled across, Lewis hangs his bat out without any conviction and gets an edge. TT have lost their second after a good start. E Lewis c de Zoysa b McDonald 1(3) | 40/2 |
| 6 | FOUR | McDonald to Darren Bravo, FOUR, good shot but even better fielder. comes on the frontfoot and punches it on the up between cover and point, the fielder runs all the way and dives near the boundary to stop it. Ah, in fact the third umpire has a look and sees that the foot was just touching the ropes, so it will be a four | 44/2 |
| 6.4 | SIX | Dilshan Munaweera to Simmons, SIX, he has seen enough. This was right in the slot and Simmons makes maximum use of it, plays the perfect slog sweep and clears deep mid wicket | 50/2 |

| 8.3 | SIX | Senanayake to Simmons, SIX, one of the flattest sixes you'll see! Flighted up outside off, Simmons gives himself a bit of room and frees his arms, smashes it flat and over deep extra cover, tremendous power | 74/2 |
| 9.1 | FOUR | Umar Gul to Simmons, FOUR, thick edge to third man, short of length and outside off, Simmons looks to cut and gets a thick edge to the third man fence | 84/2 |

| 16.4 | FOUR | Oram to Darren Bravo, FOUR, the partnership between Darren Bravo and Ramdin is now 51. Lovely shot to bring it up. Full and wide outside off, Darren Bravo reaches out and cracks it over extra cover, he looks stylish when he bats like that! | 137/3 |
| 17.3 | FOUR | Umar Gul to Darren Bravo, FOUR, nicely done. Gul goes for the yorker outside off but Bravo was upto it, squeezes it out to third man and gets a boundary | 144/3 |
| 17.5 | FOUR | Umar Gul to Ramdin, FOUR, superb improvisation. Tough to play those against a genuine quick bowler but Ramdin did well. Shuffles across and paddles a short delivery to fine leg, that brings up the 150 | 150/3 |
| 18 | FOUR | Umar Gul to Ramdin, FOUR, poor delivery to end an expensive over. A full toss on the off, Ramdin makes room and smashes it hard and straight down the ground, 16 from that over | 154/3 |
| 18.2 | FOUR | Oram to Ramdin, FOUR, not very good fielding. Slower delivery again and Ramdin slaps it to covers, the fielder got a bad bounce but his body was not behind the ball, ends up letting it go through him | 159/3 |

| 19.4 | FOUR | Umar Gul to Darren Bravo, FOUR, Bravo gets his half century with a weird shot. Banged in short by Gul again, Bravo looks to play the hook, gets a thick edge which flies over the keeper's head. An entertaining half century from Darren Bravo | 179/3 |
| 20 | OTHER | Umar Gul to Ramdin, 1 run, FIFTY for Ramdin now. Drives this to long on and gets there, yet another good knock from the skipper and T&T end with a big score | 181/3 |
