- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 What a delivery! Length ball, pitching just outside off on a length, and Venkatesh's lack of footwork does him in. Barely half-forward to drive this, and that creates a big gap between bat and pad for the ball to seam back through and crash into the stumps 25/21.2 inside edge, and Finch's debut innings for KKR ends early. Length ball, angling across the right-hander and veering back in slightly, late. He's in an open position, looking to sit back and punch through mid-off, and he ends up getting a thin inside-edge on it through to the keeper 11/19.6 148.8kph, in the blockhole, and bails fly all over the place. Perfect response to the batter moving all around the crease. Again tried to make room to target the off side, and ended up exposing all his stumps to a fast, straight, full one 70/44.3 got him, not the most dangerous delivery he's bowled, but he'll take it. Low full-toss angling into middle and leg, and Narine, looking to make room and slice the ball over point, fails to get the desired elevation even though he hit the ball quite cleanly. Straight into Shashank Singh's hands 31/317.2 Natarajan gets his man! Or does he? Rana moved away to smash one over the off side as Natarajan spears one full outside off. Seemed to be a sound as he missed and the ball went to the keeper. The keeper and the bowler appealed but the umpire stayed unmoved. Sunrisers take it upstairs and find that there's a spike as the ball passes the bat. Rana has to depart. There was a definite sound in real time too. 142/612.6 And then he goes! Umran comes back in some style. Chest high short ball on off, too quick for Jackson. Goes for the pull and gets a top edge towards fine leg. Seemed as if Natarajan wasn't under it but adjusted well to take it safely with a dive forward. End of Jackson's action. 103/518.3 Catching practice for Jansen. Length ball outside off, it was the legcutter. Cummins gets more height than distance. Long-on runs in and completes it easily. 153/719.1 Cleans up Aman Khan! A spinner and his deception skills. Was bowled with the index finger and the thumb, angling in to Aman. He goes for the swipe across the line but misses and loses his leg stump. Russell off-strike still, just what Sunrisers wanted. 158/8Extras9 (b 2, lb 4, w 3)TOTAL175/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.75)Did not bat: CV VarunFall of wickets: 1-11 (Aaron Finch, 1.2 ov), 2-25 (Venkatesh Iyer, 4.1 ov), 3-31 (Sunil Narine, 4.3 ov), 4-70 (Shreyas Iyer, 9.6 ov), 5-103 (Sheldon Jackson, 12.6 ov), 6-142 (Nitish Rana, 17.2 ov), 7-153 (Pat Cummins, 18.3 ov), 8-158 (Aman Khan, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 not the greatest over of Abhishek Sharma's career. Back of a length again, a little closer to off stump, and Abhishek looks for the pull, once again without moving his feet a great deal. Ends up bottom-edging into his stumps 3/15.2 got him, Russell's hard lengths produce the big wicket. 139.3kph. Back of a length this time, not as short as the previous ball, though the line is similar, and it seemed to come in off the deck like an offcutter. Williamson looks to pull again, and only succeeds in inside-edging into his stumps. Both openers have played on while looking to pull 39/214.2 Russell gets back at him in the tamest manner possible. Off-pace offcutter on a length around off. Tripathi stands tall and pulls it straight to Venkatesh at long-on. Tripathi cannot believe what he has done and has a lot of stern words with himself as he trudges back. Lots of gestures involved too. End of the 94-run partnership with that. 133/3Extras12 (b 4, w 8)TOTAL176/3 (17.5 Overs, RR: 9.86)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Abhishek Sharma, 1.4 ov), 2-39 (Kane Williamson, 5.2 ov), 3-133 (Rahul Tripathi, 14.2 ov)
