- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 class is permanant! Chawla tosses it up and Gurbaz's eyes light up. Goes for a big heave over cover but it takes an edge. Flies to short third, fielder takes a simple one. Gurbaz was starved of strike for most of the powerplay and now he's gone. 57/21.5 terrific catch from Shokeen! Diving forward, always a chance of the ball popping out when your arms hit the floor. Green pitched it up, Jagadeesan drove on the up - a dangerous shot because of a packed off-side field - and Shokeen has dived forward from cover point to grab it. He looks confident but the umpire wants to go upstairs. There is no soft-signals in the IPL, so whatever the TV umpire says will be the final call. "Fingers under the ball," he declares... Jagadeesan out for a duck 11/117.2 taken at short third by Jansen. Meredith went full around leg. Iyer turned his stance to play a reverse scoop over short third. Doesn't get the elevation. Venkatesh Iyer gone for a magnificent 104. An innings of pure intent. 159/58.1 oh my word! Nitish Rana is out but someone has had a go at him and he has also said something back. Oh it is the bowler Shokeen who said something to Rana, and Rana - angry already with his dismissal - has given it back. Chawla and Suryakumar get in between to cool things down. As for the wicket, Rana tried to hammer this over the long-on fielder but he mistimed it. Oh Rana was very fired up there! 73/312.5 full ball around off. Gets low and attempts the slog sweep. Tilak this time runs in, half-dives forward, and takes a catch rather low. Shardul begins to walk back and Tilak looks confident but the umpires want to look upstairs. 123/418.5 simple one for long on. Rinku tries to flat-bat this length ball over long on, but this is flat and straight to the man there. Against Yash Dayal, this went over the sightscreen 172/6Extras14 (lb 2, w 12)TOTAL185/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.25)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Narayan Jagadeesan, 1.5 ov), 2-57 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 5.3 ov), 3-73 (Nitish Rana, 8.1 ov), 4-123 (Shardul Thakur, 12.5 ov), 5-159 (Venkatesh Iyer, 17.2 ov), 6-172 (Rinku Singh, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.5 Oh that's a screamer of a catch! This time it's Rohit Sharma who gets a leading edge and Umesh Yadav, who was beaten in the last ball, runs to his left and leaps to take it with both hands. This imperious opening stand is broken. The ball was tossed up full on off and Rohit pushed at it, getting the leading edge 65/17.3 Castled! Goes for the slog sweep again, but this time he can only edge this full delivery onto his pads and then onto the stumps. He goes for 58 off 25. But he has given Mumbai Indians a great platform here 87/216.3 Looks for the ramp but edges behind. Back of a length outside off and he looked to play it over the keeper. Gets a thin edge and it's a simple take for Gurbaz. But this has been a fine, fine knock from a batter in need for some runs and he has scored those runs at a rapid pace too 176/413.5 He has chopped on! Legbreak on a length on off, he went back to cut and gets an inside edge. That spun in sharply, cramping him for room. Good bowling by Suyash 147/317.2 Digs it in back of a length on leg. It was going across and Wadhera tried to steer it. KKR have reviewed this. And they have reviewed it smartly! UltraEdge confirms that he got bat on it and Wadhera has to go 184/5Extras4 (w 4)TOTAL186/5 (17.4 Overs, RR: 10.52)Fall of wickets: 1-65 (Rohit Sharma, 4.5 ov), 2-87 (Ishan Kishan, 7.3 ov), 3-147 (Tilak Varma, 13.5 ov), 4-176 (Suryakumar Yadav, 16.3 ov), 5-184 (Nehal Wadhera, 17.2 ov)
