- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 gone, he's spooned it straight to long-off. Narine bowls a quick one into the pitch, just short of a length and spinning away from off stump. Stops on QdK as he tries to make room to hit over extra-cover. Goes through with the shot, but doesn't get hold of it, and ends up offering a simple catch to the man on the boundary 73/20.5 length ball straightening towards off stump, and is KL Rahul run-out without facing??? Yes, he is! Sprints out of his crease quickly as de Kock mistimes his drive, off the inner half of the bat into the off side, and Iyer sprints forward and to his left from short extra-cover, spins around in a jiffy, and throws down the stumps at the bowler's end. Rahul, turning around and trying to stretch to regain his crease, is a few inches short. Massive, massive wicket, KKR get LSG's main man without having to bowl a ball to him. Replays suggest QdK called for the run initially and then decided against it 2/112.4 Russell strikes, and it's his extra bounce from that hard length that does it. Back of a length, hits the pitch hard, and Hooda, looking to pull from just outside off, ends up with his bat turning in his hands and the ball going higher than intended and not as far. Iyer runs in from the midwicket boundary and completes a straightforward catch 107/314.5 gone, Russell gets his second, and this time it's the short ball banged hard into the pitch. It's angling away from Krunal, but it gets up above shoulder height, and he can't control the uppercut from that height. Ends up hitting it straight to the man at deep point. He goes for 25 off 27, a genuine struggle of an innings 122/418.4 Got him, but a few feet either side of that fielder and it may have been four sixes in a row. Looks for the cross-seam legcutter on an off-stumpish line, and it's a length ball with Stoinis deep in his crease. He whips it powerfully and flat, but he ends up picking out the fielder at deep midwicket 160/519.4 hard length again, angling into leg stump, and Holder, clearing his front leg, ends up forced to hit with a diagonal bat. He aims over midwicket, and ends up top-edging to the fielder at fine leg 175/619.6 great finish from Southee here. Goes back of a length again, but angles the ball away from the right-hander and still finishes inside the tramline. Knew Badoni would be looking to create hitting room. Looks to reach out and slap it away, but fails to connect, and this time they can't get the bye, as Indrajith rolls the ball into the stumps at his end and catches Chameera well short 176/7Extras4 (b 1, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL176/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.8)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (KL Rahul, 0.5 ov), 2-73 (Quinton de Kock, 7.2 ov), 3-107 (Deepak Hooda, 12.4 ov), 4-122 (Krunal Pandya, 14.5 ov), 5-160 (Marcus Stoinis, 18.4 ov), 6-175 (Jason Holder, 19.4 ov), 7-176 (Dushmantha Chameera, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 Mohsin gets his reward! Indrajith top-edges the pull and it's taken by the square-leg fielder after a run to his right! The batter came down the track and tried the pull but he was cramped by the pace and the line, which was on the body, the bat-face looked at the sky after turning and the skier was taken well. Indrajith tried the bail-out shot after Mohsin had the ball on a string for the over 0/15.4 One more wicket to the short ball! Finch made room and was followed, he was on the move as he tried to upper-cut it like one does with a twig while trying to pluck fruits from a tree but got the top-edge. It went straight up, QDK called for it and took it with a stroll to his left 23/33.4 Short ball gets Iyer! It was a well-directed ball in front of Iyer's face. He tried to roll his wrist on the pull but the ball ballooned straight to square-leg. Badoni celebrates as LSG are now firmly on top. 11/26.5 Knocks him over with a yorker! Rana was shaping for the short one, but the full ball came in just outside off, the front leg went to the side to make room and he opened the bat-face but it took the inside edge and went onto the stumps. It was a chop-on that almost looked like it came in, in real time 25/411.1 Slog-sweep taken at cow-corner! Full ball just outside off had Rinku try the slog sweep but it found the top-edge and went straight up. There were two fielders in the deep but good, clear calling meant Pandya took it comfortably 69/512.2 Taken at third man! Cross-seamed short ball had Russell swiping again, it went off the top-edge a few metres in front of third man. Holder, there, ran in, lunged and slid forward and caught it with his hands in front on the move 85/614.1 Krunal backtracks at cover and takes it! It was a length ball outside off, Narine tried to launch it over cover but got it off the bottom, it was going over Krunal's head but he backtracked and took the catch well 99/812.4 Given out caught behind and Anukul reviews. It was a length ball down leg and Anukul shuffled across and tried to nudge it fine, there was a subdued appeal from the bowler. The keeper underarmed the ball to the square-leg umpire. Ultra-Edge confirms that there was some contact made with the glove on its way and the decision stands 85/714.2 Two in two for Holder as Southee pulls it to deep-square leg! The short ball at hip-height had Southee pull it in the air, Avesh came in, took the catch, and tumbled in front and got up with a smile on his face. 99/914.3 All fielders in and Harshit drives a good length ball down the ground. The ball trickled away and was pulled back, the throw came in and the batters came back for three. There could have been a run-out at either end, the ball came to the bowler and took off the bails before the batter made his ground. Comedy of errors ends the game. 101/10Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL101 all out (14.3 Overs, RR: 6.96)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Baba Indrajith, 0.6 ov), 2-11 (Shreyas Iyer, 3.4 ov), 3-23 (Aaron Finch, 5.4 ov), 4-25 (Nitish Rana, 6.5 ov), 5-69 (Rinku Singh, 11.1 ov), 6-85 (Andre Russell, 12.2 ov), 7-85 (Anukul Roy, 12.4 ov), 8-99 (Sunil Narine, 14.1 ov), 9-99 (Tim Southee, 14.2 ov), 10-101 (Harshit Rana, 14.3 ov)
