- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.6 pulled straight to Rinku at deep midwicket. He didn't have to move an inch. This isn't a magic ball. Right there for the pull but Surya didn't get any power or timing behind that. Surya has thrown away a strong start. 62/25.4 what a strange way to go. This was a loose delivery, a half-tracker on middle and leg, the ball took ages to get to Lewis, who was already through with the pull. The ball looped off the back of the bat after it hit the thigh and then to short third man. The missed opportunity doesn't cost KKR much. 46/118.2 toe-ends a lofted hit straight to mid-off. First IPL wicket for Prasidh and a slower delivery has earned him one. His one-time Karnataka team-mate takes the catch. 178/514.4 swept again but this time he's picked out Uthappa right at the ropes at deep square leg. So, so close to being a seventh six. Sensational knock, one that has given them a kick towards the death overs. Kishan is bitterly disappointed but he can be mighty proud of his efforts. 144/317.6 another full toss, surely a no-ball? They've asked for the ball back. Straight to long-on. Replays suggest this was just below the waist. Hardik has to go but he's done his job. 177/419.5 drags this from outside off, so there's no timing on this heave and DreRuss takes a superb catch with the boundary triangle just around the corner of his eyes. Took three steps to his right, maintained his balance and took it without much fuss. 204/6Extras7 (b 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL210/6 (20 Overs, RR: 10.5)Fall of wickets: 1-46 (Evin Lewis, 5.4 ov), 2-62 (Suryakumar Yadav, 8.6 ov), 3-144 (Ishan Kishan, 14.4 ov), 4-177 (Hardik Pandya, 17.6 ov), 5-178 (Rohit Sharma, 18.2 ov), 6-204 (Ben Cutting, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.2 short ball follows and mid-on takes it easily! Right on the money, Mitch! Bangs it in short, Narine opens up a bit and pulls for a top-edge that goes high and Krunal comes under it comfortably 4/13.6 oh, mix up and Lynn is nowhere close! Uthappa sliced the ball to cover point and took a step or two out of the crease but Lynn reacted late and suddenly ran down the pitch but it was too late. Suryakumar swooped in and sent it a flat throw to Krunal well before Lynn could reach the crease 32/26.4 straight to deep midwicket! Suryakumar had to move only an inch to his right because Uthappa made some room, Markande pitched it on the leg stump and Uthappa slog-swept it straight to the fielder 49/39.2 holes out to deep midwicket, Cutting takes a superb catch running to his right. What's happening here! A short ball from Hardik, Rana pulled and that hardly went any distance beyond the 30-yard circle, Cutting wasn't at the boundary but well inside and he did well to run a few yards to his right and slide to catch that 67/67.6 straight to cover! A slower one outside off, Russell wants to pounce on it and makes room to slap it on the off side. He does that but hands it straight to Markande who grabs it with both hands over his head 54/49.1 another run-out chance, Hardik may not have collected the ball here! Rana steered the ball to point and DK wanted the single, he hared out and turned back too. Oh hello, that's so so close. Hardik's right hand is in front of the stumps as the throw comes in and looks like the hand has broken the stumps as it comes back to collect the ball. But the ball is just touching the hand as the zing bails light up. Umpire Dharamsena gives it out! 67/510.2 edged to the keeper, KKR collapsing on their home ground against seam bowling. Bumrah leaps in celebration and why shouldn't he. That one pitched around the leg stump and Bumrah angled it nicely to absolutely stifle the batsman with the line and he only tickled it to the keeper 76/716.5 there comes the wicket, holes out to long on. Not quite long on, actually, because Duminy had to run in and towards his right a fair bit after Curran came down and skied it high 106/913.5 slogs it straight to SKY (Suryakumar Yadav) at wide long on, his second catch to add to Lynn's run out. Looked like a slower ball again, it was fullish on leg, and Chawla slogged it high on the leg side, easy catch in the deep 93/818.1 and Krunal seals it, but Kuldeep reviews it. A reverse sweep from Kuldeep for the ball pitching on middle and leg stump and it's going pretty straight from around the wicket, goes under the bat, hits him in front of the stumps and it's all over 108/10Extras1 (lb 1)TOTAL108 all out (18.1 Overs, RR: 5.94)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Sunil Narine, 0.2 ov), 2-32 (Chris Lynn, 3.6 ov), 3-49 (Robin Uthappa, 6.4 ov), 4-54 (Andre Russell, 7.6 ov), 5-67 (Dinesh Karthik, 9.1 ov), 6-67 (Nitish Rana, 9.2 ov), 7-76 (Rinku Singh, 10.2 ov), 8-93 (Piyush Chawla, 13.5 ov), 9-106 (Tom Curran, 16.5 ov), 10-108 (Kuldeep Yadav, 18.1 ov)
