9.10pm So Andre Russell's late cameo takes LA Knight Riders to 165. None of their batters could go on to get a good score. Shakib made 35, while Roy, Nitish and Miller chipped in with scores in the 20s. Couch and Rauf picked up two wickets each while Abrar and Plunkett also registered one wicket apiece. The chase will be on shortly. Join Himanshu for the start.
Brody Couch: "I was just happy to be out there playing. [The short ball] is very dangerous on this pitch, it's holding up a bit. I was just trying to bowl my yorkers [to Russell]. [On the target] I think we've done really well. Hopefully we can get off to a flyer"
