9:45pm A superb counter-attacking 62 by Imad has taken the Tallawahs up to 154, which might not seem a massive total but gives them something to bowl at. While Imad was brilliant in the way he took down the bowlers, the other batters seemed to lack ideas, getting stuck against the Knight Riders' spinners. Blackwood huffed and puffed his way to 29 (off 35), with Jangoo also struggling his way to 13. That sluggish start meant that by the time Imad arrived, the Tallawahs were already playing catch-up.

As for the Knight Riders, they will be happy with what they have to chase. Narine picked up two crucial wickets. Ali Khan also popped up with a three-wicket haul, while Hosein and Carmichael accounted for a batter each. The pitch has definitely eased up and dew could be a factor in the second innings, meaning that at the break, the Knight Riders might be the happier bunch. Join us in a bit for the run-chase!

Ali Khan to Mohammad Amir, 1 run, OUT, excellent yorker on middle and leg stump. Amir digs it out into the off side and wants to come back for the second because, well, why not. He is nowhere in the frame, though, as the fielder fires in an accurate throw at the batter's end, with Tucker whipping off the bails just as adeptly!

Mohammad Amir run out 5 (1m 2b 1x4 0x6) SR: 250.00

Ali Khan to Mohammad Amir, FOUR, shot! Slower delivery on a back of a length outside off but this one sits up to be hit. Amir winds up and smacks it over extra cover for four!

Amir is the new batter in

Ali Khan to Green, OUT, Ali Khan has his third, and he brings out the Cristiano Ronaldo celebration to boot! Slower delivery thumped into the track outside off. The ball just does not arrive and Green is way too early into the stroke. Slices it straight to long on, where Russell makes no mistake!

CJ Green c Russell b Ali Khan 4 (14m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 80.00

Over the wicket to Green

Ali Khan to Reifer, 1 leg bye, huge appeal, not given! Reviewed straightaway! Full and speared into off stump. Reifer tries the funky reverse-scoop first up and seems to miss it. The ball trickles off the pads towards short third man and the batters complete a single. The question here is whether the ball struck him in line and of course, whether Reifer hit it. No bat involved but as expected, the impact was outside the line of off stump!

Reifer joins Green. Can he power the Tallawahs to a score of around 160?

Ali Khan to Imad Wasim, OUT, straight to mid on! Low full toss outside off. Imad lays back deep in his crease and looks to go over mid on. The ball, though, is full enough and he does not get the elevation he is after, arrowing it Alleyne inside the ring. Ali Khan and Pollard are both pumped but take nothing away from a stunning Imad innings!

Imad Wasim c Alleyne b Ali Khan 62 (55m 33b 6x4 3x6) SR: 187.87

Pollard and the Knight Riders are taking their own sweet time now, knowing that they will get no further penalty...

Ali Khan to Green, 1 run, full outside off. Green absolutely laces his cover drive but cannot beat the fielder at extra cover

Long on, long off and deep mid wicket are the fielders on the fence. Ali Khan runs in and Green pulls away at the last moment because someone in the off-side ring was moving sideways. A few words exchanged too between the batter and the fielder

Pollard is remonstrating with the umpire and he is clearly not happy with the over-rate penalty that was incurred in the previous over and this over. Just three fielders out now. Ali Khan to bowl the final over

END OF OVER:

Russell to Green, 1 run, length delivery on off stump. Green plays with an open bat face and slices it towards backward point for a single

Russell to bowl the penultimate over. The Knight Riders have incurred the first over-rate penalty, by the way and they can have only four fielders outside the ring this over

Narine to Allen, OUT, Allen bites the dust! Potential slot ball outside off and Allen's eyes light up. He tries to go downtown but this might have just been full enough to prevent Allen from getting under it completely. Clinks it off the bottom part of the bat and Russell does the rest at long on!

FA Allen c Russell b Narine 14 (23m 11b 2x4 0x6) SR: 127.27

Narine to Imad Wasim, SIX, into the stands! Slot ball outside off and it gets the treatment it deserves. Imad opens up his stance and smears it over wide long on to get to his fifty, off just 26 balls!

Narine to Imad Wasim, 1 wide, length delivery hung outside off. Imad attempts the reverse sweep and misses. The umpire, though, calls it a wide and Narine is not very pleased with that decision. Imad did take a step across his stumps too, seems a slightly harsh call
17.1
1
Narine to Allen, 1 run, shortish on middle and leg. Allen rocks onto the back foot and heaves it towards deep mid wicket

Looks like the ball has soaked in quite a bit of dew and needs changing. The ball has been changed and here's Narine to bowl the 18th

The runs are flowing for the Tallawahs now. 36 runs have come off the last three overs. Is 160 on the cards?

Ali Khan to Imad Wasim, FOUR, shot! Half-volley slanted into middle and off stump. Imad uses the angle, brings his wrists into play and whips it between long on and deep mid wicket for four!

Mid off goes back, fine leg comes up. Ali Khan goes around the wicket

Ali Khan to Imad Wasim, FOUR, but it does not matter to Imad! Juicy full toss at the stumps. Imad gives himself just enough room to swing through the line and chips it over mid off for four!

Back to over the wicket for Imad. Fine leg, deep square leg, deep mid wicket and long on are the fielders out on the leg side

16.4

Ali Khan to Allen, 1 run, excellent yorker outside off stump. Allen chalks it off the bottom of the bat and trudges across to the other end

Another indication that dew could be a massive factor in the second innings

Ali Khan to Allen, 2 runs, yorker on off stump. Allen squeezes it out towards extra cover. The fielder slips, slides and ultimately misfields, allowing a brace

Ali Khan to Allen, no run, low full toss on off stump. Allen drills it straight back to the bowler, who does well to get his hands to it and save a single (at least)

Goes around the wicket to Allen
