11.5 Finally, finally a wicket for KKR and golden arm Dre Russ gets on the board. Slower offcutter on a good length on middle and leg. Arya goes a pull, miscues it and Arora takes a comfortable catch at deep midwicket. Top innings, nevertheless 120/1

14.3 Mistimed straight to Powell and Prabhsimran's masterclass ends on 83. Shin-high full toss well outside off. Prabhsimran was looking to go up and over, but perhaps tried to hit the ball too hard. The bat turns in his hand and Powell takes a comfortable catching running in from long-off 160/2

16.4 That's that! Maxwell's horror season continues as he falls to Varun for the fifth time in T20s. Seam up delivery at 110kph from Varun and he shortened the length as well outside off. Maxwell goes for a cut, misses and sees his off stump disturbed 172/3

18.3 Two dots and a wicket. Just the result KKR were hoping for. Slower legcutter outside off, Jansen looks to go over long-on, doesn't time it as well and Venkeatesh Iyer takes a simple catch 184/4
