- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.4 taken at long-off. Garg sprinting and lunging to his left. Good length and pushed through at off stump. Looks to go inside-out and can't open the wrists well enough. It's flat and about waist height as Garg tracks it closely and takes it under his eyes 87/25.6 swipes across the line and loses his stumps. Good length ball headed for the top of off stump. He isn't behind the line as he wants the room to slog into the leg side. A bit slow on it in the end and that knocks off stump 48/112.1 taken at midwicket. It's Garg again, and he had a long long way to run to take this. Good length ball just outside off, looked to slog that on the rise, got it off the inside part of the toe-end of the bat. Garg ran in from the boundary to his right and was still sprinting as he stretched out to his right and took this near the circle 88/314.6 he's found deep midwicket! Oh it was there to be clubbed. A length ball gripping and sitting up, just outside off. So much swinging room. But he swings it - and nails it - about stomach height and straight to the man in the deep 105/419.6 taken at long-off. Good length ball outside off, hammed flat on the up and straight into Pandey's lap as he runs in from the boundary 163/5Extras3 (lb 2, nb 1)TOTAL163/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.15)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Rahul Tripathi, 5.6 ov), 2-87 (Shubman Gill, 11.4 ov), 3-88 (Nitish Rana, 12.1 ov), 4-105 (Andre Russell, 14.6 ov), 5-163 (Eoin Morgan, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.2 taken at straight long-off! Good length and lobbed up just outside off. He reaches out and looks to drill this on the rise. Russell is very straight at long-off and barely has to move 70/36.1 taken at third man. Short and wide outside off. Looks for the upper cut and has managed to find the man perfectly in the deep. The shot was on, the placement not quite. He hobbles off having done a good job for them 58/18.4 tonks off stump with a slower ball! Lockie is dragging KKR back into this with every over. It's a legcutter release but the ball slides in from a good length. Garg was backing into the leg side after being tucked at his body. Wanted to open some room and chop behind square but that was both too full and at a completely changed pace. Superb from the bowler 70/211.3 148kph yorker and see ya! What a delivery. Wide of the crease, aimed for the base of off stump and through from under Pandey's attempted jab at that. He had the room and all but that was unplayable 82/415.2 taken at backward point! Short of a length outside off, Shankar wants to pull over midwicket off the front foot, but that's onto him too fast. Comes off the leading edge and Gill takes a few steps to his left and hangs on. A wicket after five matches for Cummins 109/518.6 a relay catch at deep midwicket! Oh this is a leg stump full toss and Samad doesn't get a clean swing out at it. The soft signal is out. He reached out a touch and just flicked this in the end. Lockie covered the ground to his left, caught it, and then put in a backhand flick to long-on. They're checking it upstairs. His right boot, on the balancing step, comes very very close to the boundary padding. He is confident about it. And this should remain out given there's no way to conclusively say the foot touched the padding. There's hardly a ripple there. And yes, it does stay out. 146/6Extras10 (lb 7, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL163/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.15)Fall of wickets: 1-58 (Kane Williamson, 6.1 ov), 2-70 (Priyam Garg, 8.4 ov), 3-70 (Jonny Bairstow, 9.2 ov), 4-82 (Manish Pandey, 11.3 ov), 5-109 (Vijay Shankar, 15.2 ov), 6-146 (Abdul Samad, 18.6 ov)
