- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 that is some reply from Harris, he has detonated off stump from the ground. Harris pitched on a good length around middle stump, Agarwal tried to hit down the ground without moving his feet, he had to lunge and reach for the ball. Harris seamed the ball away from the right-hander and Agarwal ended up playing down the wrong line. The ball hit the top of off stump and sent it cartwheeling 7/115.2 Gayle attempts to hook a short delivery but he hasn't hit it well, he was cramped for room and top edged the ball high towards deep square leg, it's Miller under the ball again and this time he is well balanced and takes the catch. The drop has cost Kings XI 32 runs 126/216.4 bowled him! Kohli goes back to pull the ball, it's the quicker delivery that skids into the right-hander, the ball hits Kolhi's pad and takes out off stump 134/319.3 would you believe it, AB has swatted a full toss straight to mid-on, Mahmood's got away with that one 155/519.1 edged and caught behind! Mahmood delivered a full ball outside off, McDonald backed away and tried to hit through the off side, he got a thick edge through to Saini. A dot ball and AB stays off strike 154/4Extras6 (b 1, w 5)TOTAL158/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Mayank Agarwal, 1.3 ov), 2-126 (Chris Gayle, 15.2 ov), 3-134 (Virat Kohli, 16.4 ov), 4-154 (Andrew McDonald, 19.1 ov), 5-155 (AB de Villiers, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.5 lbw! Mandeep moved across his stumps, got down on one knee and tried to sweep. The ball was very straight and it hit him plumb in front. Vettori had just moved the fielder from short fine leg to short midwicket, opening up the gap for that shot 73/24.4 bowled him! McDonald angled the ball from a good length into the left-hander from round the wicket, Marsh played around the delivery, leaving a gap between bat and pad. McDonald found it 38/116.2 Saini's holed out, he was trying to launch a good length ball over the leg side but ended up slicing it in the air past the bowler, Vettori ran across from mid-on (I think) and took the catch 146/318.4 what's going on? Hussey's been run out! He pulled the short of a length ball towards long leg and ran the single, he then sprinted back for the second and dived full length, there was no second run there. The throw from Vinay wasn't the best but AB moved in front of the stumps to collect and then whipped around to break them 154/517.4 a run out! Mahmood steps out of his crease and cuts to deep point, he wants the second and runs hard for it, the throw from the deep from Appanna is right over the bails and AB takes them off with the bat just short 151/418.5 a third run out, all hell is breaking loose! Dogra dropped the ball close on the off side and ran for a non-existent single, Nayar responded. Kohli sprinted in from cover and picked up, he continued running towards the striker's end and once he got close enough he under-armed the ball into the stumps 154/6Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL163/6 (19.5 Overs, RR: 8.21)Fall of wickets: 1-38 (Shaun Marsh, 4.4 ov), 2-73 (Mandeep Singh, 8.5 ov), 3-146 (Nitin Saini, 16.2 ov), 4-151 (Azhar Mahmood, 17.4 ov), 5-154 (David Hussey, 18.4 ov), 6-154 (Abhishek Nayar, 18.5 ov)
