He repeats the shot off the next ball for another boundary off the inside edge before he keeps strike with a single from the last ball as nine come from the first over.

Mujeeb ur Rahman to bowl the second over. Lynn steals a quick single from the second ball to point before Narine takes one to get off the mark.
