Pollard was clearly not happy with certain aspects of the game. Memorable quote there from him: "if I speak, I will get into trouble", followed by Green's "chaos, absolute chaos" to sum up the proceedings. Thanks for your company for this topsy-turvy game. See you tomorrow for more action.

Losing captain Pollard: "I think they played well. (10th over of the chase) If I speak, I will get into trouble. We'll go, look back and practice and come back."

Winning captain Green: "Really proud of our effort. Really proud of how we bowled. Except my drop of the last ball, we fielded really well. The way Hassan and Greaves batted, killed the game. We go to Guyana to show what we can do. The word is 'heart, character', it's easy to roll over and there was talk we'd roll over and bow down to these guys, but we showed they are beatable. They are dangerous with good players but they are beatable. (10th over) Chaos, absolute chaos. I don't know what went on. And then we had a Ben Stokes incident as well. Really happy with the win, think we outplayed them in all departments."

Greaves is the Player of the Match: "To win at Queen's Park Oval is a special thing. We haven't had a great season but to beat TKR twice is good. Just happy with how things panned out. To get the win against Trinidad in Trinidad... their fortress... feels good. We have to take one game at a time. You never know..."

10.41pm Falcons do the double over TKR this season and keep their slim playoff chances alive. A lot happened tonight, some arguments, some heated moments, a lot of confusion at times, but eventually, good to see the two teams walk out in high spirits.

TKR would be disappointed, but their first-innings score never seemed enough. It was only Pollard's 37-ball 47 that had given them some hope, but with dew a factor here, the Falcons were always going to be favourites even if the required run rate briefly went up to an uncomfortable level. In the chase, Greaves held one end up to anchor the second innings. He was eventually retired out in the death overs to allow a better hitter to come out. But he did his bit with his 46, and Hassan's cameo of 36 was useful too. Imad Wasim ended up being the evening's protagonist with his unbeaten 36 and his solid bowling spell. Don't forget his "non-dismissal" and the "deflection" that went for four!

1
Little to Allen, 1 run

full ball on middle, and flicked to deep midwicket. They take a single and Falcons win by six wickets!

18.5
1
Little to Imad Wasim, 1 run

short and wide. Reaches out and cuts to deep backward point. They settle for one and the scores are level

18.4

Little to Imad Wasim, FOUR runs

pumped! Length ball outside off, sat up well for Imad. Crunched over mid off for four

18.4
3nb
Little to Imad Wasim, (no ball) 2 runs

high full toss wide outside off. Slapped to deep extra cover for a couple, but the umpires want to check for the no-ball. Yes, no ball indeed, for height. Free hit loading...

Pollard sarcastically claps at Imad Wasim after that incident

18.3
6
Little to Imad Wasim, 6 runs

Shades of ODI World Cup final 2019! full and wide outside off. Toe-ended to long on, and the they try to take two. Jordan throws it from the deep, but it hits Imad's bat inadvertently, and then runs away for four more behind the keeper. TKR are asking if the deflection was intentional or not and have taken a review. Looks fine to be honest. He hadn't changed his direction, so...that's two + four = six! Pollard sarcastically claps at Imad Wasim

Little to Allen, 1 run

back of a length ball on leg. Miscued pull to deep square leg

18.1
2
Little to Allen, 2 runs

full ball just outside off. Goes for an expansive slog, and the ball ends up high in the night sky. Pooran chases after it for a catch, but it lands safe at around square leg, a few metres away from Pooran diving

Interesting.... Greaves gets a pat on his back on the way out but this is clearly a strategic call to get a better hitter out there

Jordan to Greaves, 1 run, OUT

slower ball, full and wide. Greaves crunches it to deep extra cover... for only one. Greaves has also retired out. Strategic call?

Justin Greaves retired out 46 (48b 4x4 0x6 93m) SR: 95.83

Bravo is suggesting a cutter from outside the boundary line

17.5
Jordan to Greaves, no run

full ball outside off. Greaves moves to the off side exposing all three stumps. Ends up hitting his pads and Jordan scurries towards the ball to ensure they don't pinch a leg bye

17.4
Jordan to Greaves, no run

full ball outside off. Tries to slap it square but misses. Ball goes through to Pooran. Faster than usual too

17.4
1nb
Jordan to Greaves, (no ball)

toe-crusher around leg stump. Greaves tries to dig it out, but he fails to, and the ball ricochets off his toes and crashes into the stumps. But wait.... has he overstepped? He has indeed! Jordan, what have you done!

16.5
6
Little to Imad Wasim, SIX runs

important six! Just eases the pressure. Whippy flick off this waist-high full toss and it travels across the night sky. Umpires are checking for a no-ball, but they deem it a legal ball. Touch and go...

16.4
2
Little to Imad Wasim, 2 runs

length ball, cut hard, but Pollard times his jump well enough to get a fingertip to it at cover. Slows the ball down, which saves the boundary for certain

Little to Greaves, 1 run

fullish ball around leg stump. Muscled to deep square leg

16.2
1
Little to Imad Wasim, 1 run

yorker length on leg. Clears the front leg to try and slog towards the leg side. But the delivery is spot on, and all Imad can do is toe-end the shot for one

Little to Greaves, 1 run

good length ball around middle. Guided towards point for a quick single
