Varun reckons it's a 180-190 pitch, he says he was nervous because of the way Punjab's openers began.

I'll be back in ten minutes for KKR's chase.

Arora to Bartlett, 1 run, OUT, oh dear, it's all over for Punjab. Bartlett wanted the second, but Arshdeep didn't and it was way too late for Bartlett to make his ground. Bartlett had backed away outside leg and swatted the ball towards long on, Venky fired the throw in from the deep and Bartlett was left stranded after a mix-up with Arshdeep.

XC Bartlett run out 11 (18m 15b 1x4 0x6) SR: 73.33

Vikranth: "Aren't PBKS doing it the SRH way"

Arora to Arshdeep Singh, 1 run, short of a length outside off, Arshdeep flat-bats it to long on

Arshdeep is the new batter, the last batter for Punjab.

Arora to Shashank Singh, OUT, lbw! Shashank has reviewed immediately but I think in hope more than anything else. He was moving forward and across his stumps to play the ball coming into him with a closed face on the leg side. Arora beat the inside edge and hit the front pad on the knee roll. That's hitting leg stump. Three reds and Punjab are nine down with 29 balls to go.

Nortje to Shashank Singh, no run, good length angling in to off stump, defended on the front foot back to the bowler

AJ: "Maxwell is crucial for PBKS success. Ponting and Iyer must find a way to bring him back to form. Maybe even bringing him one down and give him the license to go from start. He is looking woefully out of place and form currently."

Rakesh: "KKR Needs to be careful here and keep it tight. Just because they have 8 and they relax, Quickly another 50-60 may be added and the chase could be a tricky 160-170 instead of a 130-140"

Nortje's back ...KKR have subbed out Varun and brought in Raghuvanshi as their Impact Player.
