FOUR!

Hope has taken on himself the responsibility of gettting a move on.
He slogs this full ball from Fawad Ahmed for a six over square leg.

TKR pull things back
After nine overs, Barbaods are 72/1, going at eight runs per over. They were 59/0 after six. This has been some turnaround by the Knights.
August 23 2020 22:24 (IST)
WICKET! Charles b Ahmed 52 (33)
TKR have got their breakthrough. The past three overs had been quiet and you could sense the tension building. Charles looked to break free by swiping across the line of a straight ball from Fawad Ahmed and lost his off stump.
August 23 2020 22:22 (IST)
50 for Charles!
13th CPL fifty for Charles; his fourth against TKR.
He has been aggressor in this opening partnership that's yet to be broken.
August 23 2020 22:21 (IST)
TKR try to fight back
Ali Khan returns and gives away just five off his second over. TKR are trying to arrest the momentum gained by their opponents by stemming the flow of runs. A couple of quiet overs here. Barbados may look to break free.

Powerplay belongs to Barbados
Narine slips in another economical over but it's Barbados who take the Powerplay with 59 runs scored and no wickets lost.

50 up Barbados
Barbados are off to a great start here. The 50 is up in less than five overs and we still have an over of powerplay left.
August 23 2020 22:08 (IST)
SIX!
And next ball, Charles hammers a slower ball over long on for six.
That should hurt the Bravo brothers.
August 23 2020 22:08 (IST)
Dropped!
Dwayne Bravo is into the attack and creates a chance on the first ball. Only for his brother Darren to drop a tough chance at long-on.
This was clubbed by Charles but he didn't get hold of the ball very well.
Darren Bravo ran in from mid-wicketm dived full length and got his hands to the ball. However, he couldn't hold on.
August 23 2020 22:05 (IST)
Narine slips in a quiet over
Only four runs come off Narine's first over. TKR will need wickets as Barbados are still in command with 41 runs from 4 overs.
August 23 2020 22:03 (IST)
Sunil Narine into the attack
TKR have leaked 37 in the first 3 overs and Sunil Narine has been brought on for some damage control.
August 23 2020 22:01 (IST)
FOUR!
Seales needs to learn quickly here. He bowls short again, and once again Charles pulls it through square leg for four.
August 23 2020 22:00 (IST)
SIX!
Charles is hammering sixes for fun.
A short ball by Seales and Charles brings out another one of his dismissive pulls. Munro gets a hand to the ball at the boundary, but the bal pops out and lands on the other side of the rope.
August 23 2020 21:58 (IST)
SIX!
Jayden Seales comes on to bowl and Charles welcomes the youngster by launching the first ball over mid-wicket for six.
Charles is looking ominous here.
August 23 2020 21:56 (IST)
FOUR!
Bad lines from Pierre here. He sprays one down the leg side and it's too easy for Charles to help it along to the square leg boundary.
Barbados are off to a good start.
August 23 2020 21:55 (IST)
FOUR!
Charles gets into the thick of things by sweeping a very full ball from Pierre past the man at short square for four.
Barbados mean business here.
August 23 2020 21:54 (IST)
Spin from the other end
Khary Pierre will share the new ball with Ali Khan. Slow left-arm spin against two right handers.
