- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.4 full toss lobbed on middle, Uthappa holes out to long-on. Muted celebrations from Pollard. Parthiv should be a relieved man. Uthappa slogs and miscues it. That should have been put away for a six 69/113.5 MM bounces out Gambhir. Pollard has his man now. MM powers through a lifting ball outside off, rushes Gambhir into a pull. Hit high on the bat as the ball balloons to mid-off. Pollard takes a good over-head catch 121/38.5 Shakib nicks behind to Parthiv. Hardik muscles a short ball outside off. The batsman aims to drag a hook from there. No dice. It gets too big on him. Parthiv collects a head-high catch 77/215.5 Southee hangs onto a return catch. Banged in short and outside off, Surya aims for a front-foot pull. He can only miscue it back to the bowler. The ball hit the batsman high on the bat as opposed to the batsman hitting the ball. Southee runs in and pouches it 130/417.2 The leg stump is floored. KKR are stumbling. Blockhole ball swerves in from round the wicket. Russell backs away for a big heave. He can't connect. Rohit has his hands aloft 145/5Extras1 (lb 1)TOTAL174/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.7)Fall of wickets: 1-69 (Robin Uthappa, 7.4 ov), 2-77 (Shakib Al Hasan, 8.5 ov), 3-121 (Gautam Gambhir, 13.5 ov), 4-130 (Suryakumar Yadav, 15.5 ov), 5-145 (Andre Russell, 17.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 and he strikes with his first ball. Full and angled across the left-hander. He throws his hands at it and slashes an outside edge. Yusuf stretches to his left and takes it with both hands before falling over. No reprieves for Parthiv tonight 8/16.5 Surya takes it at wide long-on. Oh, what's happening here? Umpire Nitin Menon refer it up stairs. The soft signal is out. They want to check whether it is a fair catch. Yes, it is. Simple decision. Rayudu is gone. Fractionally short and outside off, Rayudu steps out and slogs it across the line off the toe end. Surya leaps to right and snags it close to his chest, by the edge of the boundary 67/28.6 No celebrations at all from Narine. He tosses this up on middle, this grips in the pitch and hits the top of middle. Krunal danced out for a wild swipe and got deceived in flight. Injudicious shot selection 78/312.6 Lynn takes a superb catch! Buttler throws his head back in despair. Umpire Nitin Menon goes upstairs. Buttler has to go. Short and spins outside off, Buttler flat-bats it in the air. Lynn flung to his right, goes for the catch with both hands and takes it at the edge of the boundary at long-off. But the momentum carries him over the ad boards. He parries the ball back into the field of play. He stepped on a bottle, but recovered, returned to the field of play and pouched it. Another hokey-pokey catch ticked off. KKR have to get the water bottles and helmets off there 106/4Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL178/4 (18 Overs, RR: 9.88)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Parthiv Patel, 1.1 ov), 2-67 (Ambati Rayudu, 6.5 ov), 3-78 (Krunal Pandya, 8.6 ov), 4-106 (Jos Buttler, 12.6 ov)
