    6.4 knocks him over! Googly bowled much fuller just outside off. Roy looks to access the leg side again but does not seem to pick the length. Tries to play too square as well and the ball goes under his bat before knocking back off stump. Rashid wheels away in celebration and that is a big moment in the game! 50/3
    1.5 Narine's batting woes in the MLC continue! Back of a length outside off. Narine opens up his stance, looking to go over mid off. The ball, though, seems to hold in the surface and that means Narine chalks it. Spoons up tamely and Shepherd does the rest. Soft dismissal, but MINY have the early breakthrough they would have been after! 17/1
    5.3 big appeal, not given! Slower ball that pitches on a length just outside off and cuts back in. Chand shapes up for the scoop but has no pace to work with. Misses it and the ball pings off the pads behind square on the leg side. Shepherd is convinced he has gotten his man and convinces Pooran (standing in as captain currently) to review. Impact and height could be an issue. Ball Tracking does not think so, though. Impact in line, and then going on to hit off stump flush. Third overturned review inside six overs and Chand has to go! 42/2
    8.6 miscued, and Miller has to walk back! On the shorter side just outside off, and Miller attacks it. The ball is probably there to be hit but it bounces a touch extra, while spinning back into Miller. He gets it high on the bat and Boult, running around to his left from long off, makes no mistake on the fence. Crucial breakthrough for the defending champions! 55/4
    13.4 cleans him up with an absolute corker! Fizzed through on a length on middle and off. Drifts in beautifully before pitching and ripping away. Nitish is turned inside out and the ball rags past the leading edge as he looks to work to leg. Off sutmp is uprooted, and the Knight Riders sink further into trouble! 80/6
    12.3 straight down Boult's throat! Given a bit of air on a length outside off. Badar charges down the track and looks to go downtown. Gets a decent chunk of it but not the elevation or the power to get it beyond Boult. Regulation catch on the long off fence and LAKR are five down now! 78/5
    19.1 Pollard gets Russell! What an inspired decision, and Pollard is chuffed to bits! Off-pace and into the track on middle and leg. Russell tries to smash it into next week but makes a hash of his stroke. Skews straight up off the top-edge and Pooran tracks it all the way, completing the catch in the backward square leg region. Superb catch to finish things off, and Pollard's passionate celebration tells a story in itself! 130/10
    14.2 timbberrrrr! Sizzling yorker on off stump, and this seems to tail away ever so slightly. Dry jams down on it but cannot do so in time. Plays down the wrong line too and hears the death rattle soon after. MINY continue to strengthen their grip on this contest! 81/7
    15.6 massive appeal, and the dreaded finger goes up! Zipped in full on middle stump. Johnson has a swipe across the line and misses it altogether. Gets pinned on the pads, and no hesitation from the umpire. Johnson has reviewed it, though. Nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking comes up and...returns with the ball smashing into middle stump. Not the smartest shot ever, given the situation and just like that, LAKR lose another! 100/8
    16.1 oh dear, calamity for the Knight Riders! In the slot outside off. Russell plants his front foot and scythes it towards long off. Russell is intent on the second but that run was never on. Boult gathers cleanly and fires it right at the stumps. Shepherd takes off the bails and Ali Khan is short by a fair distance. Run-out without facing a ball! 102/9

    5.3 edged and gone! LAKR have another! Length ball, angled into leg stump. Brevis backs away, trying to smash it over extra cover. The ball, though, straightens just enough to take the faintest of nicks and Chand makes no mistake behind the stumps. MINY in a spot of bother now! 36/2
    4.5 that looks pretty adjacent! Yorker zipped in on off stump. Clinton walks across his stumps and then misses his flick altogether. Gets pinned on the pads, right in front of the stumps and the umpire raises his finger rather swiftly. Clinton does not bother with the review and that is perhaps the right call! 32/1
    15.4 Pooran trapped right in front! Full on middle and leg. Pooran walks across his stumps, trying to access the leg side. Has a huge mow across the line but misses the line completely. Gets smashed on the front pad and that looked pretty plumb. Pooran has reviewed but it could be more in hope than anticipation. Nothing on UltraEdge and three reds on Ball Tracking. Pooran has to go! 126/6
    7.5 soft dismissal! Narine into the wicket-taking act! Length outside off and this seems to just stick in the surface. Patel is early into his stroke and all he does is chip it straight back at Narine, who bends down low to his right and gobbles up the chance! 42/3
    12.1 caught at long on! Russell strikes straightaway! Length just outside off. Richards thinks he can deposit this over the fence but the ball gets big on him. Cloths it badly and Miller completes the catch, well inside the fence. Is that the wicket that brings LAKR back into this contest? 78/4
    13.2 Narine strikes too! Length outside off. Shepherd, rather ambitiously, tries the reverse sweep. Gets a decent piece of it but does not keep it down, meaning that he hits it straight to Russell at backward point. LAKR keep chipping away but will that be enough? 91/5
