5.20pm So, KKR have to chase 239 - and it will be by far their highest successful chase at their home ground if they do - to avoid a second home defeat this season. Will Narine, Russell and co bring the fireworks to match Pooran and Marsh? Join Ekanth in a bit for the start of the chase.
Marsh: "I think any good batsman will say it's doing a bit out there. But no, to be honest after the first few overs I thought maybe 180-190 would be par but as the ball got older it started to come on nicer and we're blessed to have Nicky Pooran on our side. [On opening with Markram] Have formed a beautiful relationship with him. Played a lot against him for South Africa, but we've formed a good bond. We were just trying to play good strong cricket shots. [On his slow start] 14 off 14 was absolute panic stations for me. Was just trying to get a read on the wicket. It's a small ground with fast outfield so there's always time to catch up. [His form] I'm just trying to prepare as well as I can for every game so i can walk out to the middle and have fun. Got a lot of trust in the players behind me to go out there and go hard. [On being subbed off for Impact Player] Danny [Morrison], I have never been more motivated to score runs, I can just go sit on by back side and enjoy."
5.15pm What a brutal display of hitting from Mitch Marsh, Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram! Markram gave them a strong start after LSG were asked to bat by Ajinkya Rahane and it wasn't long before Marsh caught up with him. Marsh scored his fourth fifty in five games and then Pooran came in and took it away from KKR with his IPL-best score. And now KKR face a mammoth chase!
