  • Kamlesh Nagarkoti1 (1b)
  • Kartik Tyagi4-0-36-2
  • Ben Stokes3-0-40-0

Frenetic innings. Wickets, sixes, dots, kept coming at you thick and fast. In the end, they have 191 but in dewy conditions. A big win for either side looks remote now unless RR go too hard and collapse. Two bowlers bowled eight overs between them for 43 runs, and yet KKR have 191 on the board

19.6

Kartik Tyagi to Morgan, SIX, and Morgan hits the third one for a six. Tyagi misses the yorker, puts this in the slot, and Morgan clears the front leg to loft him back over his head for a six
19.5
0
Kartik Tyagi to Morgan, no run, another single turned down. If you turn down one on the fourth ball, you might as well do it off the fifth too. if you back yourself, back yourself all the way

Morgan wants these two balls. Can he hit two boundaries?

19.4

Kartik Tyagi to Morgan, no run, full, outside off, drilled hard to long-off. Turns down the single

Morgan back on strike

Tom Hinde: "Maybe it wasn't such poor captaincy to only bowl three Stokes overs after all!"

18.6
4
Stokes to Morgan, FOUR, on-pace, short of a length, not much room, but Morgan leans back to cut him between point and short third man for four more
18.5
6
Stokes to Morgan, SIX, too predictable with slower ones. What's more? It is in the slot. Morgan sits back, and lofts him over long-off for a high six

DC and RCB will be loving this. This is neither a small total nor one that will give KKR a 60-run win

18.4
6
Stokes to Morgan, SIX, down the wicket, creates all the momentum into a slower ball and lofts him over long-on. His first fifty of this IPL
18.3
1
Stokes to Cummins, 1 run, on-pace yorker, dug out for a single
18.2
6
Stokes to Cummins, SIX, I think Cummins has been watching Stokes has been bowling a lot of slower balls so he sits back and waits for this to arrive, and picks it from the slot to crash him over long-off
18.1
1
Stokes to Morgan, 1 run, short of a length, no room, dabbed away for one

Stokes to bowl the 19th. He won't bowl out. Horrible miscalculation from Smith. He had the chance to go to Stokes or Archer immediately after the timeout, but he fed Gopal to the vultures

Archer to Morgan, 1 leg bye, beats him for pace with a quick length ball, hits the pad, but this is headed down leg. This has hit him between the pad and thigh pad

Round the wicket

17.4
1
Archer to Cummins, 1 run, nearly a yorker again, punched to mid-off, takes the single on, he is gone if Smith hits. He misses
17.3
2
Archer to Cummins, 2 runs, quick length ball, Cummins gets more height than length on the slog, but there is no deep midwicket in place to take the catch
17.2
2
Archer to Cummins, 2 runs, nearly a yorker, but Summins has punched this powerfully down the ground. And so quick is this wet outfield that it has gone almost all the way to the long-off fence. Stokes runs to his left from long-on, puts the dive in, and saves two runs
17.1
0
Archer to Cummins, no run, Cummins backs away, and Archer slips in a yorker just outside off

And now Tewatia is off the field just as Buttler comes back on. Archer to bowl out

Stokes to Morgan, FOUR, can't protect the over. Short of a length, slower ball, on off, and he waits for it to finally make connection with cut. Beats the man inside the circle, and also deep cover
16.5
1lb
Stokes to Cummins, 1 leg bye, quick length ball, following him, hits the thigh pad. Just the leg-bye
16.4
1
Stokes to Morgan, 1 run, shuffles across, Stokes bowls a slower ball to do him in, Morgan pushes this to his left, but Superman Stokes not only catches up with it, he throws off-balance to catch Morgan short. Just not able to hit it direct
