- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.6 castled! And that is a huge moment in the game! Fizzed in on a length on middle and off. du Plessis hopes to read it off the pitch and seems to do so, to be fair to him. Tries to work this leg-spinner through square leg but perhaps aims too square, meaning that not enough of the bat is presented. The ball sneaks through and disturbs middle stump. Salamkheil has a smile on his face; du Plessis, not quite! 71/33.6 Narine outwits Charles! Darted in full on leg stump. Charles shapes for the switch hit and it seems Narine was ready for that too, hence the fuller length. Charles is forced to muscle it down the ground because he cannot swipe across it and all he does is offer a simple catch to Pollard, stationed at long on! 40/15.1 huge appeal, not given! Back of a length delivery that pitches on middle and leg and then spins away. Descarte has no clue about it and goes nibbling at it. Pooran thinks the batter has nicked it but the umpire is unmoved. Pollard, after a bit of chat, opts to review. The ball is quite close to the outside edge and UltraEdge confirms a nick. Clear enough spike, and Descarte has to go! 56/217.4 goes a mile up, and taken at long on! Superbly-disguised slower ball that pitches on a full length outside off, having dipped on Rajapaksa. He is a week early into the stroke and only gets height on it. Seales settles under it, well inside the long on fence, and makes no mistake. Pollard does the shush celebration and Rajapaksa, after scratching around, has to depart! 151/418.2 Hinds has the last laugh! Full and wide outside off. Seifert throws himself at it, losing his balance in the process too. He is hitting into the wind, though, and that makes things harder for him. Slices it and Hosein, under it at deep backward point, does the rest. A handy cameo comes to an end! 169/519.6 stumping to finish off! The Kings end up with 187! Googly on a length outside off. Forde skips down the track, trying to smash it into next week. Does not get to the pitch, though, and the ball spins away enough to go past the outside edge. Pooran does the rest and that will be that for this innings! 187/6Extras13 (lb 4, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL187/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.35)Fall of wickets: 1-40 (Johnson Charles, 3.6 ov), 2-56 (Shadrack Descarte, 5.1 ov), 3-71 (Faf du Plessis, 7.6 ov), 4-151 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 17.4 ov), 5-169 (Tim Seifert, 18.2 ov), 6-187 (Matthew Forde, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 Noor breaks through, almost instantly! Googly on a length outside off. Roy tries to fight the angle and looks for the sweep. The ball bounces a little more than Roy expects too and he gets a top edge that lobs tamely to Campbell at short fine leg, who makes no mistake this time. Much-needed wicket for the Kings! 70/21.5 a wicket on CPL debut, and it is the big scalp of Narine! Hard length on middle and leg. Pitches and skids onto Narine, rushing him into his pull. He cannot free his arms completely and splices it straight to du Plessis. Campbell is pumped, the Kings are pumped - this is the wicket they would have wanted inside the powerplay! 20/113.2 the pressure tells, and Parris perishes! Googly floated up on a length outside off. Parris looks to go inside out but is not to the pitch of the ball. Slices across it too much and du Plessis, tracking it all the way from extra cover, gobbles up the chance. The Kings keep chipping away! 123/49.3 six and out! Descarte has his revenge! Full outside off and Pooran's eyes light up looking at the width. He has a swish at it but cuts across it too much, meaning that he does not generate the power or elevation he is after. Pierre runs in a couple of paces and snares the chance. Descarte is jubilant; Pooran, a little more mellowed. This could be a big moment in the game! 109/316.3 oh, what a grab by David Wiese! The substitute fielder, right in the thick of the action, and bringing the Kings right back into this contest! Slower ball on a back of a length outside off and this completely deceives Carty. He does not pick it and is too early into the stroke. Chips it towards long on, where Wiese makes up ample ground to his left and then sprawls across the turf to pluck it out of thin air. My word, that was some catch! 154/516.6 Andries Gous has to depart too, and the crowd comes to life! Zipped in full on the stumps, designed to deny Gous any swinging room. He cannot get under it and has a short-arm tug at it. Arrows it straight to Descarte at deep mid wicket, and the Kings are not going anywhere! 156/6Extras12 (lb 4, w 8)TOTAL189/6 (19.1 Overs, RR: 9.86)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Sunil Narine, 1.5 ov), 2-70 (Jason Roy, 5.2 ov), 3-109 (Nicholas Pooran, 9.3 ov), 4-123 (Shaqkere Parris, 13.2 ov), 5-154 (Keacy Carty, 16.3 ov), 6-156 (Andries Gous, 16.6 ov)
