- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 Rana runs past the slider, Pant grabs the ball, and flips the bails off. Axar pulls his length back, gets it to angle away from the advancing batsman from wide of the crease, from left-arm around. Rana chucks his hands at the ball and misses. Pant does the rest behind the stumps 25/112.6 121ks slower offcutter on off stump, Gill looks to break free. He lofts it in the air, but can't manufacture his own pace, and holes out to Smith at long-on. Bouncer, yorker, slower variation - Avesh is showing his range 82/59.3 carved straight in the air to Lalit at deep cover. Good length and pushed wide of Tripathi once again. He uses his feet, opens the bat-face, and picks out Lalit in the outfield 69/210.2 holes out to long-off. Smith runs across to his right, judges it well, and sends back Morgan. The KKR captain backs away outside leg, Lalit darts it into middle and leg from round the wicket. Morgan aims for the loft, doesn't get enough power behind it, and Smith makes that tumbling take look pretty easy 74/310.4 Narine has been castled for a duck. Quick offbreak from Lalit. Angling in from round the wicket, on a fullish length, Lalit finds just enough turn to beat the outside edge and hit off stump. Narine drives on the up and misses it altogether 75/416.2 Karthik does not connect with a reverse-sweep and has been given out leg before by umpire Barde. Karthik has a chat with Russell and calls for a review. Axar drags his length back, thumps the back pad above the knee-roll in front of middle. No bat involved. Ball-tracking suggests it would've cannoned into middle. Three reds, so Karthik has to exit 109/6Extras7 (lb 6, w 1)TOTAL154/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.7)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Nitish Rana, 3.4 ov), 2-69 (Rahul Tripathi, 9.3 ov), 3-74 (Eoin Morgan, 10.2 ov), 4-75 (Sunil Narine, 10.4 ov), 5-82 (Shubman Gill, 12.6 ov), 6-109 (Dinesh Karthik, 16.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.2 Top-edged in the air and taken at point. Shaw shuffles outside leg, manufactures swinging room, but Cummins bangs a lifter that follows the moving batsman. Spliced in the air. It swerves away from Rana, but he gets into a side-on position and hangs onto this skier. Shaw is warmly welcomed back by his team-mates and Ponting 146/213.5 Dhawan misses a low full-toss sliding into him from round the wicket. Trapped bang in front. Dhawan shuffles across off and doesn't connect with a flick. It would've crashed into the middle of middle stump. Some respite for KKR and their fans 132/115.5
Pant finishes it off with a six. Holes out to Mavi at the long-on boundary. On a length and outside off, it was in Pant's slot. He lofts, but can't clear the outfielder 150/3Extras6 (b 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL156/3 (16.3 Overs, RR: 9.45)Fall of wickets: 1-132 (Shikhar Dhawan, 13.5 ov), 2-146 (Prithvi Shaw, 15.2 ov), 3-150 (Rishabh Pant, 15.5 ov)Bowling O M R W Econ 0s 4s 6s WD NB Shivam Mavi 1 0 25 0 25.00 0 6 0 1 0 CV Varun 4 0 34 0 8.50 5 2 1 2 0 M Prasidh Krishna 3.3 0 36 0 10.28 10 5 1 0 1 SP Narine 4 0 36 0 9.00 6 2 2 1 0 PJ Cummins 4 0 24 3 6.00 15 3 1 0 0
