Late onslaught from Andre Russell has lifted Knight Riders to 188/5. Hain added a brisk 40-run knock, and MI would feel they allowed them to get off the hook in the death overs, but there's not much you can do when Russell the muscle gets going. Hosein went wicketless after a memorable last game; Farooqi got three scalps and was pretty consistent. Boult was a touch expensive today, and so was Bravo towards the end as he missed his yorkers. Good contribution from the top five and they have got a decent total. MI has a quality batting line-up, so we'll find out soon if they can chase this stiff total down. Don't go anywhere
