10.45 pm TKR made it more dramatic than was necessary after the ninth wicket fell as Amazon Warriors tail battled gamely, but the Knight Riders close out a desperately needed win as they try to battle back and climb out of the monumental hole they've dug themselves in the first half of the season.
Player of the Match is Sunil Narine: "[Talking about his innings with the bat] It was just about building a partnership and taking it as deep as possible so that Pollard could come in and do what he does best. [Talk at the innings break] We just had to control the Powerplay. It's tough playing in these wet conditions. You want a dry ball but you just want to do what you can when your team needs you."
That's it for tonight's live coverage. Come back tomorrow for more CPL action. I'm Peter Della Penna, take care!

Amazon Warriors not giving up. The required run rate is within the range of normal chasing standards, just 34 off 18. But it's a different story when two tailenders are tasked with doing it instead of the middle order.
Delay as the been has been replaced after being bent out of shape.
Dupavillon back into the attack.
