8:45pm Wow. Just wow. An amazing and astonishing display of stroke-making, headlined by Nicholas Pooran and supported ably by Keacy Carty. The pair, from the moment they got together, did not miss a beat and smashed the ball to all parts, making the Patriots scratch their heads for answers. Narine was not bad either at the start and his cameo set the Knight Riders on their way inside the powerplay.

Not much to celebrate from a bowling POV. The Patriots were all over the shop and could not contain a powerful batting unit, often allowing them to score on both sides of the wicket. Their fielding was also incredibly sub-par and their decision to not bowl out Shamsi seemed odd, given Drakes, who bowled his full quota, went for 77. They have a mountain to climb now but they do have firepower of their own. If that will be enough, well, we will find out in a bit!

Keacy Carty: It is pretty good for batting but a bit slow when it is on a length. As a batter, you pick your areas, back your skill and try to execute. I was trying to hit the ball through extra cover, square of the wicket. Shamsi was basically their main factor, so tried to keep him out of the game by not giving him wickets. (On batting with Pooran) It is like watching a highlights package live. (On the TKR dressing room atmosphere) There are a lot of experienced and great players, so it makes the job very clear and less complicated. They make it clear the roles they want you to play. (On what could work with the ball) Hard length, just outside off - that is a strong option on this pitch.

This has been an exceptional over, given the circumstances and the carnage that unfolded prior to the over

Stays around the wicket for Carty
