    0.3 That's a crackerjack! Right on money! Bamboozles him with a teasing one on back of a length and it slides across leg as he shimmies down leg and stays deep, trying to smother the spin by playing down the ground but the ball curves away from him and disturbs the furniture. What a delivery, smart bowling! 2/1
    5.6 Throws his bat at the wide delivery and picks out fielder at cover! He cannot believe what he has done and admonishes himself as Miller times his jump well and snaffles it comfortably in his hands. Just got carried away and didn't really commit to the shot, perhaps undone by the clever change of pace from Naveen, he was pushing away from his body and just couldn't elevate it much. Important wicket for Royals who were at the receiving end for most part of the powerplay but this wicket will boost them 54/2

    12.4 Flummoxes him completely with a well-disguised slower delivery on a hard length and it kept a touch low, clattered the stumps as Pollard threw the kitchen sink at it in a bid to tonk it over midwicket or square leg and lost his bat in the process which flew all the way towards square leg umpire. That's an ugly way to get out, Pollard won't like to be reminded of this dismissal. It's a huge wicket but he was struggling and had to switch gears. Too early through his shot on this occasion 101/3
