So that's goodbye from me, Arjun, and my partner Anurag Singh from the comm box. Do join us today at 3:15 PM IST for the Day 2 of the fourth Test between England and India tomorrow. Tata and take care!!
Sheldon Cottrell: As a bowler we don't bat much. So whenever we go out in the middle we just enjoy our batting. There is no pressure like a batsman. I have had experience in those types of situations and knew what I was getting into. This is the first game that my knees have given me a chance to be myself and I was able to put full effort in the field (referring to his one-handed catch). It was an honest conversation between two (himself and Drakes) bowlers, it is unfortunate he was not there to bring us over the line but I did it for him.
Sheldon Cottrell gets the Player of the Match award.
The eighth-wicket partnership between Cottrell and Drakes have produced an unimaginable for the top-placed team. They are down and out of the game, until the salute-man came in the 18th over. He smoked 20 from seven deliveries, while his partner nailed 28 off 15 balls, that has taken St Kitts & Nevis home.
Chris Gayle and Devon Thomas played a decent hand for them, but pressure undid the top-order batters. The required run-rate made Royals the almost winners - as Young, Reifer and Lintott bowled their hearts out to make the game for Barbados.
Raymon Riefer drew the first two blood when he took both the attacking Patriots openers. Nyeem Young executed his skills in the middle phase as he bowled full - wide - cutters, forcing the batters to produce shots. In the process, he scalped Allen, Bopara and Bravo. His pressure also helped Lintott to bag the huge wickets of Universe Boss and in-form Rutherford.
St Kitts & Nevis were almost out of the game, but an 18-run penultimate over by captain Holder opened the game. Both Cottrell and Drakes went berserk against Holder's team, as they notched four boundaries and three maximums. They needed 10 runs from the last over and Nurse scalped Drakes, but the soldier banged a sixer on the last game to achieve the unbelievable.
WHAT A GAME. WHAT A WIN. St Kitts & Nevis Patriots have snatched the victory from the jaws of a clinical loss. Another heart-breaking defeat for Jason Holder's Barbados Royals. DJ Bravo's men have saved their winning-streak, they are now on five off five.
