- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 What a comeback! Cleans him up with a corker! This is full outside off and it jags in after seaming. Markram is looking to flick and plays all around it and the ball crashes into off and middle stump! Markram misses out on back-to-back fifties, but still, he has given his team a dream start 99/115.2 And Dre Russ strikes! Short and wide, pace off again, and Marsh looks to slap it away. Can't get the requisite distance on it, it's the longer boundary and the ball only goes to Rinku Singh at deep point 170/218.2 Knocks him over! Off cutter on a length around off, Samad swings for the hills and misses as the ball stays a bit low too, and it just goes off his feet onto the stumps! 221/3Extras13 (b 2, lb 3, w 8)TOTAL238/3 (20 Overs, RR: 11.9)Fall of wickets: 1-99 (Aiden Markram, 10.2 ov), 2-170 (Mitchell Marsh, 15.2 ov), 3-221 (Abdul Samad, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 Another review, no hesitation from Pant after it was given not out. Where was this pitching? Was a length ball on middle that beat the swing across the line and hit QDK on the back leg. Might've seamed back in a touch. Ball-tracking says... it pitched just in line with leg and hit middle and off three-fourth of the way up! Pant and Co punch the air as the replay comes on the big screen. Brave call to review after losing one the last ball but it pays off. 37/16.2 Wide, slashed, and it's taken at long-off. Rathi continues the write-off celebration but on the grass. Great loophole if he's found one. Was a fullish ball that was wide, spun away too. Narine slashed and got it off the bottom of the bat 91/212.6 Chipped straight to cover! The Lord works in mysterious ways! Innocuous full toss outside off and Rahane gives Pooran catching practice! Juest doesn't get any height or power on it and Rahane walks back with KKR needing 77 in 42! 162/315.2 And another one bites the dust! Venkatesh looks to take on another full ball around off but mistimes this as it goes high in the air. Markram makes no mistake coming in from long-on! LSG right back in this! 177/613.6 Holes out at long-off! This is tossed up very full, in the slot, but Ramandeep doesn't get the distance he wants on that! Lofts it down the ground but straight to Aiden Markram, who hops as he takes it reverse-cupped in front of his face 166/414.6 The wicket falls indeed! Raghuvanshi looks to reverse-ramp this low yorker outside off and makes a mess of it, just lobbing it up for a simple catch for Rishabh Pant behind the stumps! Avesh has been excellent in his last two overs and he gets a reward for it! 173/516.1 Shardul Thakur gets the big scalp of Andre Russell! And he has done it with another full toss! This is a low full toss outside off, Russell looks to muscle it down the ground but can't get under it enough. Good catch from Miller running in from long-off and it looks like LSG are favourites again! 185/7Extras22 (b 1, lb 1, w 20)TOTAL234/7 (20 Overs, RR: 11.7)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Quinton de Kock, 2.3 ov), 2-91 (Sunil Narine, 6.2 ov), 3-162 (Ajinkya Rahane, 12.6 ov), 4-166 (Ramandeep Singh, 13.6 ov), 5-173 (Angkrish Raghuvanshi, 14.6 ov), 6-177 (Venkatesh Iyer, 15.2 ov), 7-185 (Andre Russell, 16.1 ov)
