- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 straight to backward point! Off-pace on a shortish length outside off. Lewis' eyes light up looking at the width and he throws his hands at it. Cannot keep his stroke down, though, and picks out Charles to absolute perfection. Descarte into the attack and Descarte among the wickets! 51/116.6 Wiese pulls off a sensational catch and Fletcher's struggles come to an end! Dug into the track outside off. Fletcher looks to flat-bat it over mid off but does not get the timing he desires. Plonks it and Wiese watches the ball every step of the way, running back from mid off. Sorts his feet out, gets his hands in the right position and makes it look very, very easy. Second excellent catch in as many games for Wiese. Or, shall we say, wonderful Wiese! 142/39.1 castled! Fizzed in full on off. Mayers plants his front leg, looking to go downtown. The ball, though, seems to come back in with the angle and goes past the inside edge of Mayers' bat. Smashes the stumps soon after and Chase is delighted. A slightly dodgy celebration (gesturing someone has gone to sleep) but the Kings would have wanted this scalp! 72/218.3 holes out to long on! Hung up on a back of a length outside off, asking Rossouw to fetch it. He takes up the challenge but because of how wide the ball is, he cannot get through his stroke fully. Arrows it straight to Chase at long on, who makes no mistake! 156/419.3 Shadrack Descarte, take a bow! A catch of the highest order! Length outside off. Louis plants his front foot and lifts it over cover. Seems like he has done enough to be safe and perhaps get back for two until....Descarte comes tearing in off the deep cover point fence. Lunges forward right at the end and picks it up inches off the turf. Another extraordinary grab, and the Kings have their fifth! 169/5Extras15 (lb 1, nb 1, w 13)TOTAL173/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.65)Fall of wickets: 1-51 (Evin Lewis, 6.2 ov), 2-72 (Kyle Mayers, 9.1 ov), 3-142 (Andre Fletcher, 16.6 ov), 4-156 (Rilee Rossouw, 18.3 ov), 5-169 (Mikyle Louis, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.1 cleaned up! Flighted up beautifully on a length on off. Charles comes down the track, looking to smack it into the ocean. Gets done in the air, though, and is not to the pitch of the ball. Spins enough to beat the inside edge and then crash into leg stump, bringing to an end Charles' belligerent knock! 169/410.4 nicked and gone! Clarkson breaks through! Slower ball on a fullish length outside off. du Plessis tries to hit it too hard and loses shape in the process. Cuts across it too much and nicks it through to Fletcher. A tone-setting knock by the Kings skipper and he will hope he has done enough to get the Kings those two points! 115/112.1 Seifert perishes, and Clarkson has two! Length ball on middle and off. Seifert thinks he can pop this over long on but the ball keeps a tad bit low. Comes off the bottom part of the bat and arrows towards Hasaranga at long on, who does the rest. Can this spark a Patriots comeback? 129/214.3 soft dismissal! Hard length on middle and leg. Skids off the surface and beats Rajapaksa all ends up for pace. He is awfully late on his short-arm pull and loops it tamely towards Nortje, who runs forward and completes the catch. Muted celebrations from the Patriots, and that is because they know this game has passed them by! 161/315.6 goes high up and taken at deep mid wicket! Shortish on middle and off. Descarte hops back, trying to smoke it over cow corner. Gets it too much near the bottom of the bat, though, and offers a fairly regulation catch to John at deep mid wicket! 171/5Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL176/5 (16.3 Overs, RR: 10.66)Fall of wickets: 1-115 (Faf du Plessis, 10.4 ov), 2-129 (Tim Seifert, 12.1 ov), 3-161 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 14.3 ov), 4-169 (Johnson Charles, 15.1 ov), 5-171 (Shadrack Descarte, 15.6 ov)
