    6.3 knocks him over with an absolute peach! Beautifully-disguised wrong'un that pitches on a length outside off and spins back sharply. de Kock has no clue about it and plays well outside the line. The ball breezes through the gap between bat and pad and knocks back off stump. A nod of appreciation and acknowledgement as de Kock walks past Salamkheil, and that is a huge moment in the game! 54/3
    0.2 edged and gone! Three ducks in a row for Rahkeem Cornwall! Short, wide and there to be hit. Cornwall, though, has a rather loose waft at it without much conviction. The ball skids on a touch extra, grazes the bottom edge and Pooran holds on to a sharp chance! 1/1
    0.4 massive shout and the finger goes up! Athanaze has to depart! Fired in on a back of a length on off. This one spins into Athanaze and also keeps a little low. He was looking to swipe it away but the lack of bounce did for him. Struck in front of off stump and Athanaze does not even bother with the review! 1/2
    10.2 holes out to long on! Floated up full on middle and off, enticing the big hit. Clarke buys into that temptation but does not quite get under it. Hits it well but flat and straight to Pollard at long on. Clarke is disappointed but that wicket is a direct by-product of the pressure the Knight Riders have applied post the powerplay! 71/5
    7.3 big lbw shout and the umpire raises his finger! Reviewed by Holder! Length ball that pitches on off and decks back into Holder. Like de Kock in the last over, Holder does not know where this is turning and hangs his bat out. The ball sneaks past the inside edge and raps him on the pads. Did it spin too much? Was it going over? There are murmurs on UltraEdge but there is also a clear gap between bat and ball. Impact is on the front pad and Ball Tracking reckons the ball would have smashed into middle and leg stump. Holder has to go! 59/4

    14.1 trapped in front! Reviewed by Miller, though, so there could be some drama still! Fizzed in on a fullish length on middle and leg. Deviates into Miller and goes past his attempted sweep. Gets rapped on the pads and there is a sense that that might be heading down. Did not turn a lot, though, and all Salamkheil needs is for the ball to clip the stumps. Miller, for what it is worth, is happy to walk off as soon as he sees the first replay. No bat involved either and Ball Tracking has the ball thundering into leg stump. Miller has to go, and he takes a review along with him! 108/6

    17.5 castled! Fizzed through quicker on a length on off. Maharaj, knowing two balls are left in the over, gives Narine the charge but is nowhere close to the pitch of the ball. It spins enough into him, goes past his wild slog and disturbs the furniture. Narine has two, and the Royals lose their seventh! 128/7

    0.1 Narine falls for a first-ball duck! And the Kensington Oval comes to life! Back of a length on middle and off. Narine gives himself room, looking to go over mid off. The ball, though, sticks in the surface just enough and hits very low on the bat. Powell back-tracks, settles under it and does the rest! 0/1
    2.1 another vociferous lbw shout and this time, the finger goes up! Full ball that starts outside off and then sizzles back into Roy. He is beaten all ends up by the late swing and gets thumped on the back leg. The umpire thinks about it and then raises his finger. Roy does not bother with the review, and the Knight Riders are two down! 11/2
    14.1 Parris perishes, and Theekshana breathes life into the Royal's defence! Carrom ball on a fullish length on middle and off. Parris has a huge swing at it but the ball nips away just enough to cause the miscue. Skews off the outer half of the bat and goes high up. Miller calls early at extra cover, settles under it and makes no mistake. Is there another twist in this game? 106/4
    8.4 another miscue and this time, the Royals take it with a splendid double-act! Dangles the carrot on a full length outside off and Pooran bites. Slices it a mile up and Powell settles under it at long off. Misjudges it slightly, meaning that he has to then back-track as he catches it. Powell realizes he is going over and releases the ball, finding Holder (running to his right from long on) with pin-point precision. Excellent presence of mind, and the gamble to bowl Maharaj to Pooran has worked! 62/3

    15.5 McCoy breaks through, and the Kensington Oval finds its voice again! Slower ball on a back of a length on middle and leg. Sticks in the surface and Carty is through his stroke way too early. Chips it back at McCoy, who gets his hands up in time and snares the chance! The Royals keep chipping away! 118/5
    16.3 chopped on! Naveen gets the big fish, and that is a humongous moment in the game! Full outside off and Pollard's eyes light up looking at the length. He has a go at it but tugs at it too hard. Bottom hand takes over and all he does is drag it back onto his stumps. Pollard is disappointed but the Royals are pumped, as are the thousands in the stands! 120/6
    18.2 Gous falls, and McCoy swings the game back in the Barbados Royals' favour! Hard length on middle and leg. Cramps Gous for room and he cannot swing his arms freely. Might have been a change-up too, which led to Gous chalking it off the toe-end. Powell did the rest at long on, and the Knight Riders have been pegged back again! 136/7
    19.4 taken at deep mid wicket, and there is a cacophony of noise at the Kensington Oval! Low full toss slanted into off stump. Hosein shimmies across, trying to whip it over deep mid wicket. Gets a good chunk of it but not a good enough piece to clear the fence. The fielder judges it to perfection and gobbles up the chance! 151/8
