- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.4 timber. Shami bowls seam-up, targetting the stumps, and gets appreciable seam movement from a length outside off, and knocks back the middle stump and send the leg stump flying. True to his role, Tripathi is trying to clear the infield, and not defend or nudge 12/117.5 looks for the slog, Shami cramps him up, Gill is asked to run a second as this is the fifth ball of the over. He is slow to turn around, slow to run the second, and is caught short. But Gill has done his job here on a difficult pitch. And has been selfless in the end. Now over to Russell and Karthik 145/43.3 both batsmen at the same end. Disastrous start for KKR. Gill plays this straight to short fine, and should be responding to the non-striker's call. I don't care if there is a single or not, you have to trust your partner if he is a specialist batsman and is running to the danger end. Gill preserves himself. Shami's throw from short fine comes at the wrong end, but Pooran collects it at cover and strolls to the non-striker's to run Rana out 14/210.4 Morgan perishes. He is looking to go over the short off-side boundary, and he has picked the wrong'un to do so, but the ball sits in the surface and he is early into the shot, ending up dragging this to long-on for an easy catch 63/319.6 short, quick, into the body, Karthik hits this straight to deep square, and for a change someone takes the second off the last ball even though it is not on. Karthik is run out, but this is a sight for sore eyes. A batsman risking his average for one extra run that might come handy later 164/618.2 Arshdeep has got the big wicket of Russell. That might be worth 10 runs. He stays away from the swinging arc. Bowls full and wide, and the angle takes it further away. All Russell manages is an outside edge to the keeper 150/5Extras9 (b 1, lb 2, w 6)TOTAL164/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.2)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Rahul Tripathi, 2.4 ov), 2-14 (Nitish Rana, 3.3 ov), 3-63 (Eoin Morgan, 10.4 ov), 4-145 (Shubman Gill, 17.5 ov), 5-150 (Andre Russell, 18.2 ov), 6-164 (Dinesh Karthik, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR18.6 bowled'im. This is what happens when you leave yourself too much to do. Suddenly 74 off 58 doesn't look like a great effort after all. Full toss outside off, Rahul looks for the boundary into the leg side, and gets a big inside edge onto his wicket 151/414.2 Agarwal perishes trying to pick on the short boundary. Goes across to try to play the pick-up shot and lofts this length ball straight down the throat of deep midwicket 115/117.2 oh Pooran. What is he doing here? Makes room early, Narine slows it down, bowl an offbreak, he swings across the line, his head falls away, he misses the ball, Narine hits the top of middle stump 144/218.4 sharp offcutter bouncer. Singh is cramped as he looks to back away. Ends up trying to play an upper-cut but gets no power behind it because it has got big on him. Rana runs back from point to take the catch 149/319.5 he goes for a six into the big side of the ground. Clever bowling from Narine. KKR are favourites now. He has holed out. Gets too much under this front-of-the-hand delivery.
