- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.4 appeal for a stumping! Googly on a back of a length outside off. Nips away and breezes past the outside edge of Sujay's prod. Indrajith takes off the bails and convinces the square leg umpire to go upstairs. Sujay's back foot seemed to be grounded but hang on...Indrajith might have pulled off a smart stumping here. The back foot was lifted for a brief moment, and the bails were whipped off at exactly that point. Incredible piece of work, and the Dragons have their second! 49/22.2 Warrier with the early breakthrough! Hard length, slanting into middle and leg. Suresh looks for the pick-up pull but is awfully late on the stroke. Gets cramped for room too and plonks it up. Sarath tracks it all the way over his shoulder from mid wicket and takes the catch with minimal fuss. The Kings lose their first! 19/16.2 Sai Sudharsan bites the dust, and the Dragons are over the moon! Short and wide outside off. Sudharsan sits deep in his crease and throws his hands at it. Gets a decent chunk on his cut but cannot keep it down. Picks out deep cover point to perfection, and the Kings lose another! 51/45.5 hot knife through butter! Beautifully-disguised incoming delivery that pitches on a length on off and decks back in. Mukilesh has no clue about it and plays down the wrong line. The ball breezes past the inside edge and then thuds into the stumps. A dream delivery, and Chakravarthy is turning this game around! 49/315.6 taken this time! Warrier into the wicket-taking act for the second time tonight! Hard length just outside off. Skids off the surface and gets big on Arvindh. he swishes at it anyway and skews it towards backward point, who circles under it and does the rest! 111/710.6 Bhati breaks through! Full and angled across the batter outside off. Atheeq backs away further but this time, he tries to go over the top. Slices his stroke and ends up arrowing it towards Sarath at sweeper cover. He runs around to his left, gets under it and makes no mistake. Vital wicket for the Dragons! 87/512.5 Shahrukh Khan bites the dust! Full toss on leg stump and that is there to be dispatched into the stands. The ball, though, dips on him late and he cannot get under it as much as he would have liked. Hits it hard and flat but straight to Sarath at deep mid wicket. Catch completed, and the Dragons are in the ascendancy, again! 93/6Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL129/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.45)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Suresh Kumar, 2.2 ov), 2-49 (S Sujay, 5.4 ov), 3-49 (U Mukilesh, 5.5 ov), 4-51 (Sai Sudharsan, 6.2 ov), 5-87 (Atheeq Ur Rahman, 10.6 ov), 6-93 (M Shahrukh Khan, 12.5 ov), 7-111 (Ram Arvindh, 15.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.3 cuts through Khumar, and the finger goes up! Back of a length delivery in that probing corridor just outside off. Khumar has a poke at it but does not account for the sharp inward movement. The ball kisses the inside edge and Suresh Kumar snares a smart chance behind the stumps. The Kings are not relinquishing their crown without a fight! 23/21.3 gone now! Siddharth dismisses Shivam! Fired in quicker on a full length just outside off. Shivam looks to smash it over extra cover but cannot clear the huge frame of Shahrukh at short extra cover. The Kings captain gobbles up the chance, and the Kings have the early wicket they would have been after! 12/117.1 Ashwin falls! Slower ball on a full length on the stumps. Ashwin looks to whip it away over deep mid wicket but the lack of pace leads to his undoing. Does not get the distance he is after and Sudharsan, sprinting to his right from deep mid wicket, does the rest. Too little, too late, though? 121/413.2 Shahrukh breaks the partnership! A bit of a drag-down outside off but somehow, it gets the better of Indrajith. He was shaping for the pull but the ball rushed onto him and caused a miscue. Long on came running on off the fence, slid forward and snaffled up the chance. Is there a twist in this tale? 88/3Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL131/4 (18.2 Overs, RR: 7.14)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Shivam Singh, 1.3 ov), 2-23 (Vimal Khumar, 2.3 ov), 3-88 (Baba Indrajith, 13.2 ov), 4-121 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 17.1 ov)
