Everybody got some sort of score for the Kings today but they needed one of them to get an 80+ total or thereabouts. That didn't happen. Chandrakant Pandit said they'd be happy chasing 180-200, so is that advantage Knight Riders at the break? ESPNcricinfo's forecaster does not agree, with KKR having under 25% chance of victory. Let's see how it turns out when Himanshu joins you on the other side.

5.12pm So Kings make only 91 in the second half after making 100 in the first. Knight Riders will be mighty pleased to restrict Kings to a sub-200 total. Their bowlers struggled up top - barring Umesh, who was rather economical - but Narine, Varun and the rest slid in a few quiet overs at the slog-end of the innings.

Here's Bhanuka Rajapaksa: "See Harsha I don't think it is a typical Mohali wicket. It had something for spinners and fast bowlers in the back end. (His six off Narine) Instinct took over. Told Shikhar I'd take him on. It worked. (191 score) It is a good total because we were aiming for 180-185. We've found the score. (Second season with PBKS, Bayliss' messaging) So clear. He wants me to bat top of the order and bat with a clear mind."
