That's the game for the Salt Pond Breakers. First-ever winners of a T10 game in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. It was much closer than we thought it would be at the start of the chase but it was a lot easier than it looked like for the Salt Pond Breakers a couple of overs ago. Congratulations to the Salt Pond Breakers. And we will see you at the second game between La Soufriere Hikers and Botanic Garden Rangers.

9.2 Tijorn Pope to Kadir Nedd, FOUR! Nedd finishes the game for the Salt Pond Breakers! Full ball outside the off stump, Nedd bends down and smashes it through covers for a boundary.

9.1 Tijorn Pope to Kadir Nedd, quick and outside off, Nedd looks to open the face of the bat and hit it down to third man but misses.

2 to win off the last 6 balls. It seems like there can only be one winner. But if there's one thing cricket has taught us, you can never say never.

9.0

8.6 Obed McCoy to Urnel Thomas, OUT! Thomas has lost a good chance to finish the match for his side. Makes some rooms and hits it straight to the fielder at mid-on.

8.5 Obed McCoy to Urnel Thomas, length ball outside the stumps, Nedd turns it away for a single. Almost as good as over now. 2 to win from the last 7 balls.

8.4 Obed McCoy to Urnel Thomas, slower ball outside off, Thomas does not connect with his attempt to dab it to third man but the keeper fails to collect and allows for a single.

8.3 Obed McCoy to Kadir Nedd, good comeback from McCoy. Full ball on the stumps, Nedd manages to get a single to short mid-wicket.

The target is looking a lot smaller than it was a couple of overs ago. This has been some great batting from Nedd and Thomas.

8.2 Obed McCoy to Kadir Nedd, McCoy is visibly flustered. Oversteps and then gives a stare to the umpire. Free hit coming up!

8.2 Obed McCoy to Kadir Nedd, FOUR! The third man fielder is going to be taught quite a lesson tonight. Yet another edge that flies straight to him, he fails to catch it and even lets it go for a four. It is falling apart for the Grenadines Divers at this point. Not what you'd have expected of a player like McCoy.

8.1 Obed McCoy to Kadir Nedd, FOUR! A misfield that might be the game-changing moment. Nedd gets an edge that flew down to third man, who makes a mess of it.

The pressure seems to well and truly be getting to the Grenadines players here. They need to be doing better at this crucial point of play.

8.1 Obed McCoy to Kadir Nedd, poor start from McCoy. Short and very wide outside the off stump. Is the pressure starting to get to Obed McCoy. The Divers would be hoping for a better response from their marquee players.

That six really made the over what it was for the Breakers. 15 to win off the last 2 overs. Can they guide the team home?

8.0

7.6 Razie Browne to Urnel Thomas, SIX! A hit me ball from Browne and Thomas obliges! A short ball on the stumps, Thomas rides the bounce perfectly and smashes it over mid-wicket for a huge six.

7.5 Razie Browne to Kadir Nedd, almost a yorker length ball on middle and leg, Nedd manages to eke out a single to short fine leg.

7.4 Razie Browne to Kadir Nedd, a little too wide this time. Crucial run for the Pond Breakers. The extra run should take a little bit of the pressure off the batsmen.

7.4 Razie Browne to Kadir Nedd, quicker and shorter outside off stump, Nedd looks to slice it over point but he misses it completely.

7.3 Razie Browne to Kadir Nedd, length ball outside off, ball keeps low and Nedd's attempt for a wild slog is in vain.

7.2 Razie Browne to Urnel Thomas, full ball outside off, Thomas lifts it over covers, one bounce to the fielder in the deep. The intent is right but Thomas cannot afford to get out playing any silly shots at this point of time.

7.1 Razie Browne to Urnel Thomas, great ball to start. A yorker on the stumps, Thomas looks to flick but gets an edge that goes back to the bowler.

They've got 3 overs to score the remaining 24 runs. 8 an over. Let's see if the Salt Pond Breakers can make it home. They need to be smart at this point of time and play their cards right in these last 3 overs.

7.0

6.6 Braxie Browne to Benninton Stapleton, OUT! Terrible batting from Stapleton, and he's pretty much yorked himself. Skips down the track and looks to heave it away, misses the ball completely and even throws his bat away. Absolute drama!

6.5 Braxie Browne to Benninton Stapleton, quick ball outside off, Stapleton attempts to cut but does not connect.

6.4 Braxie Browne to Benninton Stapleton, the southpaw looks to dance down the track and pull it to mid-wicket, but he's deceived by the lack of pace. Some very intelligent bowling from Browne in this over.

6.3 Braxie Browne to Benninton Stapleton, Chin music! Browne gets it to rise off a shortish length, Stapleton is beaten for pace.

6.2 Braxie Browne to Urnel Thomas, length ball on the stumps, Thomas turns it away to square leg for one.

6.1 Braxie Browne to Benninton Stapleton, shortish ball outside off, Stapleton gets bat to ball for a single.

4 overs to go and 26 to win. This could go down to the wire. Wyllie has completed his quota of overs and the Divers need someone else to step up now.

6.0

5.6 Geron Wyllie to Urnel Thomas, fuller and outside off stump, Thomas looks to smash it over long on but fails to connect. Dot ball.

5.5 Geron Wyllie to Urnel Thomas, SIX! Wyllie misses his length and delivers a half-tracker, Thomas arches back and pulls it over square leg for a maximum!

A taller fielder in his place and that was out.

5.4 Geron Wyllie to Urnel Thomas, arm ball sliding onto the stumps, Thomas dabs it to short covers.

5.3 Geron Wyllie to Urnel Thomas, Thomas misses his cut shot.

The captain Asif Hooper seems to be smelling blood here.

5.2 Geron Wyllie to Delorn Johnson, OUT! Fantastic catch from Latchman! Quicker ball wide outside the off-stump, Johnson looks for a wild heave but only skies the ball up in the air. Latchman tracks back and takes a fantastic catch.

Fourth wicket for Geron Wyllie. He's turning this game on its head here. 37 for 5.

5.1 Geron Wyllie to Urnel Thomas, full ball sliding away from leg stump, Wyllie flicks it away to the deep mid-wicket fielder.

It's all happening here at the Arnos Vale Stadium. The Divers need to hold on to their chances if they are to defend what is a fairly small total.

5.0

4.6 Braxie Browne to Urnel Thomas, EDGED and safe! Fuller ball outside off stump, Thomas looks to drive but gets a thick edge, Latchman dives to his right but only gets his fingertips to the ball.

4.5 Braxie Browne to Urnel Thomas, short and outside off, Thomas attempts a pull but sees the ball whizz past his blade.

4.3 Braxie Browne to Urnel Thomas, length ball outside off, Thomas looks to drive over covers but misses.

4.2 Braxie Browne to Delorn Johnson, wow that was quick from Browne! But wide ball, keeper fails to connect and batsmen collect a single. They're taking runs however they come at this point.

4.2 Braxie Browne to Delorn Johnson, on the pads, Johnson misses the flick and cross for a brace.

4.1 Braxie Browne to Delorn Johnson, good start to the over for Johnson! Full ball outside off, Johnson drives it through covers for a boundary!

At the end of four overs,

Salt Pond Breakers are 23/4 after four overs. Geron Wyllie has 2 wickets for just 3 runs in his first over.

Apologies for the delay in bringing you the commentary, due to a couple of technical issues!

But we're back now!
