- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.6 143ks. Skied, Dhawan takes it at mid-off. Fuller side of length, around middle stump, Saha tried turning it legside this time. Maybe go over the top, like he did last ball, but got a leading edge. Don't think he looked comfortable against high pace but 30 in three ain't too bad in the powerplay 29/18.3 Extra bounce gets him, the cut is edged to backward point. 91ks, wide on a length, Harpreet probably inviting Kane to go down the ground again. He stayed in the crease and tried to carve it with decent power. In fact, the line was around fifth stump, Williamson made room and tried to open up the offside with a cut 69/213.5 Has that been steered to the keeper? Jitesh goes big in appeal, Sudharsan walks. 128ks, shortish if not actually a bouncer. Line around fifth stump, height around the neck, the upper cut/ramp was attempted. He tried to go fine but got it off the cue end. Harshal did in fact put revs on it. Kudos to his fitness to bowl at that pace 122/317.4 No, Vijay tries to go for the boundary but flat bats it to long-off. Good catch by Brar, running in and takes it while sliding into the ground. Was shortish, slow and a touch wide. 164/4Extras9 (lb 5, w 4)TOTAL199/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.95)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Wriddhiman Saha, 2.6 ov), 2-69 (Kane Williamson, 8.3 ov), 3-122 (Sai Sudharsan, 13.5 ov), 4-164 (Vijay Shankar, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 Chopped on! Ahmedabad roars. Length ball, angling away from Dhawan, he stands tall to punch it through cover. But the ball ricochets off the inside edge onto the stumps. Umesh strikes first ball and Titans are on the board. Kings' win percentage goes down from 26% to 19% 13/15.1 Cracker of a delivery! Noor is off. He tosses it up and lands it on a length outside leg. Bairstow completely misses the line of the ball and leaves a small gab between bat and pad. He was also on the move. That gap is enough for the ball to sneak through and deflect off the back pad to rattle the stumps. Another failure for YJB 48/27.2 Flummoxed! Noor tosses up the googly around middle and off, Prabhsimran is early in backing away, and has made his mind to go across the line. All he manages is a top edge and Mohit at short third has hardly had to move. Kings slide steadily 64/38.4 Catching practice! Curran wanted to swivel and pull to exploit the space between deep square leg and long-on. But he does not manage to get the elevation. Omarzai bowls it on a shortish length on leg at 135.1kph, Curran swivels and hits it straight to Williamson at short midwicket 70/412.2 Gonzo! The length ball does it for Mohit. Hard length, Raza backs away and looks to slap it over cover. Only manages a thin outside edge to the wicketkeeper. Is that the telling blow? 111/515.3 Rashid gets a wicket off a full toss! He cannot believe it. Gill knows it is a bonus. They share a laugh. Jitesh cannot believe what he has done and is down on his haunches. He gives it his all and only skies it to Nalkande at deep midwicket. Kings still in the game but they need someone to stay in with Shashank. This is Rashid's 50th wicket for Titans 150/619.1 And CAN YOU BELIEVE IT Nalkande strikes first ball! Bowls it on a length well outside off, 109.5kph, Ashutosh has to fetch it from there as he looks to heave it across. Holes out to Rashid at long-on and he did not have to move an inch. Job done from Ashutosh though. Or so we think! 193/7Extras13 (lb 8, w 5)TOTAL200/7 (19.5 Overs, RR: 10.08)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Shikhar Dhawan, 1.1 ov), 2-48 (Jonny Bairstow, 5.1 ov), 3-64 (Prabhsimran Singh, 7.2 ov), 4-70 (Sam Curran, 8.4 ov), 5-111 (Sikandar Raza, 12.2 ov), 6-150 (Jitesh Sharma, 15.3 ov), 7-193 (Ashutosh Sharma, 19.1 ov)
