11.59pm It has taken two hours to finish this innings off, but every second has been worth the time. Russell creates history by cracking the fastest CPL fifty, as the Tallawahs post their second-highest CPL score. 85 runs off the last five overs; and there were seven no-balls and free hits gifted by the Kings, who had inserted the opposition in.

Muhammad Tayyab: ""It is not about Wahab Riaz here, it is all about Russ who smash every ball out of the park""

Anyway, once you have caught up your breath, you can always join us for the chase, as the Kings try and hunt down 256. Shashank will be with you for the start of the second innings.

McCoy to Russell, FOUR, the fastest fifty in CPL history! Flat-bats this short of a length ball on middle, and just beats long-on, who was leaping with his left hand stretched out. It seemed to have bounced just short of the rope, but has been called a six first, before another replay made the umpire rectify his decision

Six off the last ball too?

Backs out after running in

McCoy to Russell, 1 no ball, wide delivery down the leg No-ball and another free hit. Goes high and wide of leg. Russell ducks, and that is called no-ball for height

This is already the Tallawahs highest score

McCoy to Russell, SIX, Ridiculous! Change of pace again, on a fullish length on off, and swings that over long-on for another six. How many has he hit so far? I've lost count for sure

Danny: "Thank Goodness, Wahab cannot bowl his fourth! "

McCoy to Russell, SIX, more pongo! Slower ball in the length on middle and off, and bang! Goes over the bowler's head now, with his front leg out of the way and his back leg deep in the crease

McCoy to Pretorius, 1 run, makes room, as McCoy goes short and outside leg. Mistimes his pull toward fine leg, but look... Russell is back on strike

Praman : "Carnage here ! Dre Rus is on the mood. "

McCoy will bowl the last over

Wahab Riaz to Russell, (no ball) FOUR, no-ball, free hit, four! A front-foot fault now. Anyway, this was a good ball, and pretty full outside off. Russell only jabbed his bat at that, and found the gap between the keeper and short third man

MSRK: "18.4, that 6 might still be still moving On and On and On and On. massive massive massive hit"

Wahab Riaz to Russell, SIX, dispatched over long-on! Absolute disdain there. Fullish ball on middle and off, and in the slot for Russell. Clears his front leg to slog that miles away. Phew! A new ball might be needed now

Suyog: "@Himanshu, don't rule out 250 also till DeRus is there" --- Damn I did!

The ball has been found, and we are ready to resume

Wahab comes around the wicket, but the ball drops out of his hands at the last moment
