END OF OVER:
16 | 10 Runs 1 Wkt | KKR: 157/7 | RR: 9.81

  • Ramandeep Singh17 (8b)
  • Mitchell Starc2 (2b)
  • Jasprit Bumrah4-0-39-2
  • Nuwan Thushara3-0-31-1

No mid-innings interview as the break is just ten minutes long. See you on the other side.

Rakesh: "After 12 overs, KKR Imploded instead of Exploding. They could so easily have been around 175-180 had they Kicked off.."

10:54pm An abridged innings but packed with entertainment and tactics. MI did really well, took out KKR's big gubs cheaply but KKR kept going - a great motto for T20s in general, and fell forward to reach 157. If dew becomes a deciding factor, this is likely to be MI's game but if Starc and Co make inroads, KKR might secure their spot in the playoffs.

Bumrah to Ramandeep Singh, SIX, This was like Misbah from the 2007 final, but the bowler is Bumrah not Harbhajan. The pace-on yorker was attempted, it zoomed in at the stumps. The length might've been inches off. Ramandeep tried to put Bumrah off by faking a swing across the line before going back to his regular stance. Bumrah stuck to his plan but got launched over long-on

Final ball, Ramandeep on strike

Bumrah to Starc, 1 run, Ramandeep took off as Starc clipped the full ball to deep square leg. 143ks

Back around

Bumrah to Ramandeep Singh, 1 run, Yorker at the stumps, worked to long-on. Bumrah as good as expected so far. 150 up for KKR

Around

1
Bumrah to Starc, 1 run, Full toss just under the knee-roll. Starc was maybe weary of the yorker and couldn't adjust to capitalise, ends up gently patting it towards cover

Bumrah to Singh, OUT, The angle is sharp and the slower one nicks off Rinku. Full and slow, delivered from cover again, Rinku cleared the front foot and tried slugging over long-on. Got a thick edge that ballooned to the keeper's left

RK Singh c †Ishan Kishan b Bumrah 20 (18m 12b 0x4 2x6) SR: 166.66

15.1
1
Bumrah to Ramandeep Singh, 1 run, On-pace yorker attempted. The low fully is almost there, clipped to midwicket

A bit of confusion. Chawla, who was out after the 14th over and Rohit coming in, returns. It wasn't an Impact sub. Thushara now goes out, don't know if Rohit is still in. Anyway, Bumrah to close out the innings

END OF OVER:
15 | 11 Runs | KKR: 147/6 | RR: 9.80

  • Rinku Singh20 (11b)
  • Ramandeep Singh9 (5b)
  • Nuwan Thushara3-0-31-1
  • Hardik Pandya3-0-32-0

Chinthaka: "Wide calls by third umpires have been very inconsistent. If standing outside off then either wide line moves or not. Some says not wide and some give wide..."

Good over from Thushara. Went for yorkers at different lines. 11 off the over isn't too bad.

Thushara to Singh, 2 runs, Very low full toss on leg, Rinku picks it up and gets it into the midwicket outfield. Fielder charges across and stops it close to the ropes.
14.5
1
Thushara to Ramandeep Singh, 1 run, Sweet yorker just outside off, Ramandeep gets on one knee and steers it to deep third
14.5
1w
Thushara to Ramandeep Singh, 1 wide, Length ball outside off is called a wide. MI review. Ramandeep went across a bit before backing away and slashing. Didn't make contact, ball was along if not just outside the tramline. Decision will stay
14.4
4
Thushara to Ramandeep Singh, FOUR, Goes across, top edges a slog sweep over fine leg. Was an offcutter, in the slot but Thushara probably saw Ramandeep go across and maybe tried to get it away from the arc. He tried to go square, the fielders behind square were all in the ring, so it went for four
14.3
1
Thushara to Singh, 1 run, Middle-stump yorker this time. 136ks. Slinger tailed away a bit, Rinku opened the face late to squirt it to deep third
14.2
1
Thushara to Ramandeep Singh, 1 run, Wide yorker is just a little further forward from the crease, all Ramandeep can do it guide it to deep point
14.1
1
Thushara to Singh, 1 run, Yorker on middle and off, nailed, dabbed to deep point.

END OF OVER:
14 | 11 Runs | KKR: 136/6 | RR: 9.71

  • Rinku Singh16 (8b)
  • Ramandeep Singh3 (2b)
  • Hardik Pandya3-0-32-0
  • Piyush Chawla3-0-28-2
13.6
1
Pandya to Singh, 1 run, Length around fourth, tries to pick it up square again. Can't middle it, gets it off the bottom part of the bat towards square leg
13.5
6
Pandya to Singh, SIX, Slot ball has been phatted, if I heard Danny Morrison correctly, over square leg. Stayed deep in the crease and waited for that slowish fuller one to come in front of him. The feet buckled, the head came down and the hands swiped across
13.4
0
Pandya to Singh, no run, Goes back and tries to cut it late, misses. Length ball angling away through fifth, Rinku using his back leg more before reaching out with the hands. Doesn't get enough room
13.3
1
Pandya to Ramandeep Singh, 1 run, Ramandeep tries the same thing but the 139ks low fully follows him. It's patted towards deep midwicket but with a bit too much pace for two to be on
13.2
2
Pandya to Ramandeep Singh, 2 runs, Steals two to deep midwicket. Length ball has been worked to the outfield after stepping outside off
13.1
1
Pandya to Singh, 1 run, Back of length outside off, guided to deep third

END OF OVER:
13 | 9 Runs 1 Wkt | KKR: 125/6 | RR: 9.61

  • Rinku Singh8 (4b)
  • Piyush Chawla3-0-28-2
  • Jasprit Bumrah3-0-29-1

Asahel: "Jeez I thought 12.6 was going to clear the ground. It went so high and sounded sooo good. But apparently it was just a top edge of that massive bat of Russel" Yeah, some of his sixes sound plinked but just keep going

Timeout

12.6
W
Chawla to Russell, OUT, High, very very high, and not far enough. Chawla's bumper does the trick. 117ks long-hop just outside off, Russell was springing in his crease and tried to pull it into oblivion but got hurried just a bit. His feet got jammed in the end, a sign of being cramped for room. Was enough to find the top edge, Kamboj was a few metres in from the deep-midwicket boundary and took it with ease. Chawla goes SRK mode with his celebrations, hands spread apart, as Russell sighs in disappointment

AD Russell c Kamboj b Chawla 24 (26m 14b 2x4 2x6) SR: 171.42

12.5
1
Chawla to Singh, 1 run, Backs away and cuts the length ball on top of off to the sweeper
12.4
1
Chawla to Russell, 1 run, Full and slow, slog swept just wide of long-on
12.3
1
Chawla to Singh, 1 run, Length outside off, cut to point
12.2
6
Chawla to Singh, SIX, Dances down, reaches out and boshes it over cow corner. Was looped up on the fuller side of length, Rinku reached further away forward, back leg lifted up to crank him further to get him to the pitch
