    2.5 that was coming! Rohit never looked comfortable, and now falls to Yadav for the fifth time in their IPL rivalry! Short, skidding into the pull, a spiralling top-edge, Billings calls as he runs back to fine leg, and avoids the collision as he pouches the offering! 6/1
    10.6 gone! Gifted to the man close in at midwicket. Kishan was struggling all this while, and he falls to Cummins for the third time in his career. On that hard length again from Cummins, and with good pace. That pitched on middle and leg, and Kishan looked to pull. But that seemed to have hurried on to him, and went bang to Shreyas, who took it in front of his stomach 55/3
    7.5 huge swing, and off come the bails! Billings is quietly confident here, his toe seemed anchored, but it did wobble with the force of his yank across the line. Nope, in fact, it was already well out of the crease! Smart glovework, and so ends a sparky cameo 45/2
    19.1 that is a wide yorker, and Surya has a slash but is beaten. There is half an interest for a caught behind, and Shreyas goes upstairs with some hope. That pitched very full, and around an imaginary seventh stump. Surya had a go at that away from his body, and guess what... There is a spike as the ball passes bat, and out of nothing, Surya has to leave. Woah, maybe a luck break for Knight Riders since nobody really looked convinced with that review 138/4

    4.1 banged in short, and strikes first ball! That's a wonderful start, Rahane climbed into the pull, but the left-arm line, into the body, had him cramped from the get-go. Sams backpedals at deep midwicket, clings on inside the rope, and KKR lose their first! 16/1

    5.6 banged in short, and the short ball strikes again! Left-arm over, into the body, grip off the deck, Iyer tried to roll his wrists, but like Mills' bouncer, it just came on quickly from a lively deck, and square leg stoops to gather, five metres in from the rope 35/2
    9.5 skips down, and ends up slicing to long-off! Surya right on the edge of the boundary, and takes it with a little leap. Billings is left with his hands and bat on his head. He came down the pitch to that full ball outside off, and once he was jumping out, he always had to get bat on ball. Ended up slicing with an open face of the bat, and ends up departing 67/3
    11.4 taken at deep midwicket! It was there to be hit by Rana, but alas! That should ideally have been six. Short delivery pitching on middle and leg, and nearly going on straight off the pitch. He went to pull by getting his front leg out of the way, and ended up gifting the man there a catch, as he was placed well inside the rope. Knight Riders losing momentum here 83/4
    13.1 taken at point, and the Russell storm/cyclone/earthquake lasts only this longer today! A short delivery with an upright seam on middle by Mills, as Russell is prepared to pull that early. The ball goes off really slowly off the pitch, as Russell goes to pull with his front leg out of the way. Gets a top edge - again, like he did against Bumrah last over - and gets it to balloon to point 101/5
