    4.4 knocks him over with a beauty! Sizzling yorker, honing into middle and leg. Roy looks to work to leg but Nortje's yorker is just too good for him. Brings his bat down late and hears the death rattle soon after. A pumped-up celebration by Nortje, and the Patriots have another! 51/2
    3.6 goes straight up, and John gets rid of Narine! Banged in short outside off. Narine gives himself room, looking to carve it over the off side. Does not quite get on top of the bounce, though, and miscues it badly. Does not get any distance and Lewis, circling under it in the cover point region, makes no mistake. An enterprising cameo comes to an end! 44/1
    17.4 taken on the fence, and Pooran has to go for 97! Slot ball outside off, and that is there to be hit. Pooran throws the kitchen sink at it but just slices across it more than he would have wanted. Picks out the sweeper at deep point and he is crestfallen. He falls three runs short of what would have been a splendid century but take nothing away from this knock. This will live long in the memory of those who have witnessed it, and could well prove to be the difference tonight! 211/4
    7.5 straight to long off! Floated up full outside off. Parris' eyes light up but he cannot quite decide whether he wants to keep it down fully or go over long off. In the end, he arrows it uppishly and straight into Mayers' chest, who makes no mistake. Shamsi into the act straightaway! 89/3

    6.6 cleans him all ends up! Plenty of revs on this wrong'un, and this drifts away beautifully before pitching just outside off and spinning into Lewis, who looks to smash it into next week. Loses track of it and because he did not pick the variation, he only connects with fresh air. The ball crashes into the stumps, and that is a big moment in the game! 72/3
    1.2 edged and taken this time! Little is over the moon! Hard length just outside off. Rears up off the surface and bounces extra, getting big on Fletcher. He tries to ride the bounce but all he manages is a glove through to Pooran. Fairly simple catch, and that is just what the Patriots would not have wanted! 12/1
    1.5 Mayers bites the dust now! Another short ball, angled into the batter. Mayers lifts up his front leg and looks to pull it over deep backward square leg. Gets a good chunk of it but not enough to clear the fielder on the fence. Parris runs across to his left and holds on. Mayers has to go, and the Knight Riders have two in the same over! 18/2
    13.6 Narine gets Louis! Speared in full on the pads. Louis looks to heave it over cow corner but the angle into him cramps him for room. Cannot extend his arms and gets a leading edge that swirls towards deep mid wicket. Roy judges it to perfection and completes the catch with minimal fuss! 142/4
    14.1 two in two for the Knight Riders! Dug in short outside off and Stubbs' eyes light up. He wants to smash this into the stands and while he absolutely laces it, he cannot generate the elevation he wants. Hits it straight down Roy's throat at deep mid wicket, and the Patriots sink further into trouble! 142/5
    15.1 bamboozled, and outta here! Length ball on middle and off that pitches and nips back into Rutherford. Rutherford wanted to smash that into the ocean anyway and lost shape. The ball snuck past his wild swing and thudded into middle stump. Narine doing the job for the Knight Riders again! 150/6
    16.4 gone this time! Dangles the carrot on middle and leg, and Smith bites. Looks to mousse it over long on but does not get the contact he wants. Cloths it badly and offers the simplest of catches to Bravo. Odean Smith's dreadful day is finally over! 165/7
    18.6 holes out to deep mid wicket! Speared in full on middle and leg. Drakes has a hoick at it but cannot get enough behind it. Easy catch for Carty and Drakes has to walk back. Edward does a you-can't-see-me celebration too. Perhaps he is a John Cena fan. Or maybe he idolizes Fidel Edwards, who also did a very similar celebration. To douse that excitement a bit, there is a check to see if Edward's back leg has cut the return crease. Fine on that count, and Edward has a wicket! 191/8
