9:41pm A bit of an anti-climactic end to what was otherwise a very powerful innings. Lewis and Mayers were the stars of the show and put together a 199-run stand. Lewis got to his hundred in the last over and while Mayers fell agonizingly short, both of them, while they were out there together, matched each other stroke for stroke. The Kings did not seem to have any answers for large swathes and it was only after the rain delay that they established some sort of control.

Speaking of the Kings, Wiese was the only bowler to pick up a wicket, with both of those coming in the 20th over. Noor was quite economical and his variations were on point, which meant Lewis and Mayers, despite being in rampage mode, were content to play out the left-arm wrist-spinner. They now have a tough task on their hands but given how true the track is, the Kings will feel they can still make a fist of this chase. Join us in a bit for the second innings.

Wiese to Stubbs, no run, what an over by Wiese! Sizzling yorker outside off that seems to drop on Stubbs late and he cannot catch up with it. Swings at it and misses, and the Patriots finish with 201!

Stubbs on strike for the final ball. Wiese on a hat-trick

Wiese to Rutherford, OUT, knocks him over first ball! Beautifully-executed yorker, honing into off stump. Rutherford, rather ambitiously, looks for the reverse ramp and makes a hash of it. The ball breezes past the bat and knocks back off stump. Wiese celebrates, and the Patriots lose two in two!

Wiese to Mayers, OUT, Mayers perishes! Attempted yorker outside off, which ends up as a low full toss. However, it is still tough for Mayers to get under it completely and go inside out. Slices it a touch and arrows it towards Govia at deep cover, who tracks it all the way and snaffles up the chance with a dive forward. An exceptional innings comes to an end!
