- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 out first ball! Holder goes full just outside off. Rahul tries to whip a flick off his waist through midwicket. But mistimed, and not only that, it's been struck straight to the fielder at midwicket. The substitute Suchith grabs that, and Holder gives out a roar. 26/14.5 another one! And it's the other opener. Full on middle, and angling into leg. Agarwal goes for the drive, but he's in no position to execute it. Slices the drive, and its a soft dipping catch at mid off 27/210.4 strikes his front pad, and Rashid gets what he wants after a cerebr-appeal! But Gayle reviews. Full delivery pitching on middle and turning into him to hit his front pad, which seems to be on leg stump. Meanwhile, Gayle is already halfway back on seeing that replay. UltraEdge confirms there is no inside edge, with his bat in front of off stump. Pitches on middle and leg, and hits middle and leg on top on umpire's call. And so Kings retain the review 57/314.4 full-toss on off, but right down to the man at long-off! It was tossed up, and so was dipping to the batter. Markram saw that coming and swung his bat, but seemed to have sliced that from the bottom of the bat to Pandey, who was into the boundary quite a few steps 88/511.4 taken on the return by Sandeep after a bit of a fumble! That was nearly dropped, but eventually Sandeep has it in his hands. Pooran looks to hoick a full on middle and off, which is bowled with a change of pace. But he gets that aerially and off the inside half of the bat to the left of Sandeep, who lashes at it close to his left shoulder. The ball pops out twice, before finally finding a nest 66/415.4 outstanding catch by the substitute fielder at cover! Leaps to his left and nabs that one-handed to send back Hooda, who tries to repeat the shot he played to Samad last over. Again he goes to loft that full delivery outside off over cover, but this time fails to clear the man, who files to his left to complete the take. Excellent catch to get a man who could well be impactful in the death overs 96/619.3 tries to heave that, but can only slice to third man! Pandey takes a good catch running backwards. Bhuvi continues with that good length outside off, as Ellis goes for the swing to the on side but gets it off the outside half of the bat, as the ball is skied to the fielder, who is well into the boundary 118/7Extras7 (b 1, lb 3, w 3)TOTAL125/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.25)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (KL Rahul, 4.1 ov), 2-27 (Mayank Agarawal, 4.5 ov), 3-57 (Chris Gayle, 10.4 ov), 4-66 (Nicholas Pooran, 11.4 ov), 5-88 (Aiden Markram, 14.4 ov), 6-96 (Deepak Hooda, 15.4 ov), 7-118 (Nathan Ellis, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 Warner's poor form continues! Length ball on off and angling further away. Definitely in the slot for Warner to cut it over point. But when it's not your time, it really isn't your time. Faint edge, and Rahul moves to his left to take the catch. Just the start Kings would've wanted 2/116.1 Saha is run-out after a terrible mix-up! He clips this full ball on his pads toward square leg, and set off. Holder wanted a second and had taken off immediately, with Saha not aware of what was happening at the other end. It was too late by the time he realised, but still went out of his crease to try and complete that. But by then, Bishnoi had already whipped off the bails 92/62.2 chopped on! Gets the big wicket of Williamson. Between a good length and full. Outside off stump. Willamson looks to punch it through cover, but the ball jags away inwards slightly, and takes the inside edge onto the stumps 10/27.6 what a beautiful ball! Dream delivery for a legspinner who has the googly up his sleeve. Full just outside off. Pandey presses forward to flick through midwicket. But there's a gap between bat and body...and it's sneaked right through! 32/312.2 chopped on! Jadhav looks to tickle that full ball outside off to third man, but the ball is too close to play that shot, as he gets a bottom edge on to the stumps to further send Sunrisers into trouble. 56/412.6 flown off the leading edge to short third man! Samad goes to heave that full ball on off to the on side, but gets an edge, with the ball flying to Gayle, where he doesn't have to move to complete the catch. Sunrisers have now lost half their side 60/518.1 goes for the pull to this short ball, but skies that to Arshdeep! Rashid makes room to this ball pitched on off, with Arshdeep getting good bounce too. Rashid gets a top edge, as all the bowler has to do is take a few steps to his right and sit under it 105/7Extras7 (b 1, lb 2, w 4)TOTAL120/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (David Warner, 0.3 ov), 2-10 (Kane Williamson, 2.2 ov), 3-32 (Manish Pandey, 7.6 ov), 4-56 (Kedar Jadhav, 12.2 ov), 5-60 (Abdul Samad, 12.6 ov), 6-92 (Wriddhiman Saha, 16.1 ov), 7-105 (Rashid Khan, 18.1 ov)
