11.47 am: Competitive total at the end from Tridents. Nurse, Rashid and Santner will have more to do with the ball, but they gave themselves a much better chance with their fireworks in the last few overs. Might not look like they got much on the scoreboard, but their innings made the difference between a total in the 135 region and one touching 150. Well set up at the start by Johnson Charles and Kyle Mayers. This is not a batting beauty of a pitch so Knight Riders will know they have to apply themselves in the chase. They'll still back themselves to get it, but Tridents will also go into the break with a bit of a bounce in their step.

Pollard to Reifer, 1 run, goes well across, slower ball from Pollard, he waits for it and slaps it through cover. The throw comes in as they're completing the second, and it goes off Santner's bat. The New Zealander declines to run for the overthrow. New Zealand know better than most how it feels when the ball hits bat off a throw from the deep and goes for runs

Pollard to Reifer, no run, angled well across him, he gets away with that one. Batsman was reaching for it outside off. Was wide of the tramline when it passed him I think.

Pollard to Santner, 1 run, full outside off, pace off, Santner swings for the fences, gets an inside edge that trickles to short fine leg

Pollard to Santner, SIX, stunning shot. First ball he's facing, it's dug into the pitch outside off and Santner stays still and pulls this magnificently over midwicket

Pollard round the wicket for the last over.

OB Jato: "Takes a leggie to know a leggie ... And as this over showed, it works both ways!"

Seales to Nurse, OUT, top edge goes straight up and the keeper takes it. Seales surprised him with a back of a length ball on off. Nurse giving himself room, goes to hoick it over midwicket, but gets a top edge. Seifert runs backwards and settles safely under it.

Seales to Nurse, no run, makes as if to give himself room but Seales keeps it wide of off stump and Nurse can't reach it

Seales to Nurse, no run, perhaps in response to the last two balls, Seals bowls it full fast and much straighter. Nurse moves across to try and whip it but doesn't connect

Seales to Nurse, SIX, gorgeous shot. Moves slightly across because he knows Seales is bowling wide and full outside off. Goes down and drives it over cover for a super shot
18.2

Seales to Nurse, FOUR, top edge goes very fine. This was well wide of off and he goes down on one knee and throws the kitchen sink at it. Targetting cover, but takes a top edge and goes to third man

Seales to Nurse, no run, gets some shape into him in the corridor, sneaks between bat and stumps as Nurse goes for a big booming drive

Santner now. Tridents bat fairly deep. And with two overs to go, the score is looking healthier despite the wickets.

Fawad Ahmed to Rashid Khan, OUT, Raza dives and holds on at extra cover. Rashid had stepped well away, exposing all his stumps, makes good connection with a thump to one outside off. Raza dives to his left and holds on. Had put down a much easier chance earlier, and takes this one. Such is the game.

Fawad Ahmed to Nurse, 1 run, throws his bat at this, looped up outside off, spliced over point

Fawad Ahmed to Rashid Khan, 1 run, and that's a super shot but will get only a single. Down the track and stroked through extra cover, but there is protection there on the boundary

Fawad Ahmed to Rashid Khan, SIX, wrong 'un deposited over square leg. Went well back in his crease to make it of pull-able length and gave it all he had. Good connection and gets maximum

Fawad Ahmed to Rashid Khan, no run, nicely done, beats Rashid. Tossed up on the stumps, he goes for a slog sweep, it grips and turns past his swing of the bat

Fawad Ahmed to Rashid Khan, FOUR, dismissive leggies won't intimidate Rashid. Down the track and flat bats it to the deep midwicket boundary. Fawad had bowled this flatter and quicker

Fawad to finish his quota.

Good end to the last over for Tridents even though they lost two wickets.

Sikandar Raza to Nurse, FOUR, whacked. well outside off but he goes down and fetches it with a heavy-hitting slog sweep. Not timed perfectly but hit hard enough to find the square leg boundary

Sikandar Raza to Rashid Khan, 1 run, given some air outside off, he glides it to short third man

Two new batsman at the crease

Sikandar Raza to Anderson, OUT, stumped him! Anderson comes down the track, but appears a bit lost. Raza got it to pitch outside off and break away, and Anderson just went through with the swing, not making any contact. Easy collection and stumping for the keeper. Two strikes in his first over for Raza

CJ Anderson st †Seifert b Sikandar Raza 6 (8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 75

Sikandar Raza to Anderson, 1 wide, too far down leg and he doesn't even attempt to hit that.
16.2
W
Sikandar Raza to Mayers, OUT, caught at long-off Raza has made the breakthrough and it's an important one at an important time. Mayers was the set man, and he had to go for it. Tossed up on off and turning away, he wanted to go straight back over the bowler, gets a thick outside edge that swirls to Darren Bravo, who has plenty of time to settle under it and catch it safely

KR Mayers c Bravo b Sikandar Raza 42 (37b 3x4 1x6) SR: 113.51

Sikandar Raza to Anderson, 1 run, darted into him, clipped towards mid-on

Last four overs - they'll target 40 runs from them I'd think. Raza to bowl for the first time. Round the wicket.

Vicky: "We have now seen teams playing out Pollard's overs at 6 rpo match after match. Is it the pitches, lack of intent from teams against him or just brilliant bowling by him? It would make so much sense for teams to attack him and put TKR bowlers under pressure."

- he's bowling smartly and suited to the slowness of the surface.
