- BATSMENRB4s6sSR14.2 tickles it to the keeper! Good length on the fourth-stump line, and it's too close to his body for the cut. Finds the edge and DK does the rest. The heat has played its part too. He was really late to play that shot 127/39.2 slower ball, and that does the trick! Full on off, and Lewis is tempted to go for the biggie. Tries to drive over cover, but slices it down short third man's throat. Comfortably for Lynn 91/111.4 Rohit slog-sweeps with the break but picks out Rinku, the sub fielder, at deep midwicket. Tossed up and spins in on middle, Rohit drops down on one knee but skews it off the bottom of the bat to the man in the deep. Only the second wicket away from home for Narine in IPL 2018 106/216.5 finds Gill at long on! Tries the same shot, but Narine went shorter. The leg-side heave comes off the bat's toe end, and Krunal fails to find the distance on this occasion. He's disappointed! 151/4Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL181/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-91 (Evin Lewis, 9.2 ov), 2-106 (Rohit Sharma, 11.4 ov), 3-127 (Suryakumar Yadav, 14.2 ov), 4-151 (Krunal Pandya, 16.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.5 The short ball finally works for McClenaghan and Mumbai. Chest-high ball on middle, tucks Lynn up for room. He still goes for the pull, hits it well, but picks out Bumrah at short fine leg 28/13.1 Gill caught Pandya bowled Pandya. Hardik floats a slower offcutter outside off first up. Gill does not spot it. He is early into a drive and gets more height as opposed to distance. Krunal snuffles the catch at mid-off, has his hands aloft and roars
Wakanda forever. Two wickets in three balls for Mumbai 28/212.3 conventional legbreak, and that earns him the wicket! Straight to long off. Full outside off, and Uthappa plays it straight down the ground. The ball spun away slightly, and induced the shot from the bat's toe end. Markande makes amends after all! 112/313.3 back of a length on middle, and Rana goes for a pull. It's been sliced though, and Bumrah gets under it at deep square leg! The ball was swirling in the air, so extra marks for that effort. KKR losing wickets in a clump once again 115/416.4 back of a length on middle, but Russell makes a lot of room on the leg side. Pulls it towards the leg side, but Krunal takes a screamer! He's at short fine leg, but needs to race towards the square-leg boundary. Dives forward, and takes an excellent catch! 131/519.2 full outside off, and angling away from Narine. Tries to lift it over cover, but slices it to the man on the circle. DK has crossed to the other side though! 163/6Extras9 (b 4, lb 4, w 1)TOTAL168/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.4)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Chris Lynn, 2.5 ov), 2-28 (Shubman Gill, 3.1 ov), 3-112 (Robin Uthappa, 12.3 ov), 4-115 (Nitish Rana, 13.3 ov), 5-131 (Andre Russell, 16.4 ov), 6-163 (Sunil Narine, 19.2 ov)Bowling O M R W Econ 0s 4s 6s WD NB MJ McClenaghan 4 0 30 1 7.5 10 3 1 0 0 JJ Bumrah 4 0 34 1 8.5 10 5 1 0 0 HH Pandya 4 0 19 2 4.75 13 2 0 1 0 KH Pandya 3 0 29 1 9.66 7 4 1 0 0 M Markande 3 0 25 1 8.33 9 2 2 0 0 BCJ Cutting 2 0 23 0 11.5 4 5 0 0 0
