    7.5 has he nicked off. Yes. Umesh does it again, with his skiddy pace. Tempts Samson to poke at a back of a length delivery outside off. No feet, a nothing shot, would have only gotten a single had he timed it. And at worst, he would, as he did, edge it behind. Knight Riders fighting back well 63/2

    6.1 huge appeal for a caught behind and umpire CK Nandan makes a late call to give it out. Billings is strangled down the leg side. Definite sound as the ball passes the glove and the high part of the bat. Coulter-Nile is vociferous in his appeal, after his cross-seamed short ball down the leg side fetches a mis-hit. Billings goes for the pull and he's feathered it to Uthappa 53/1

    14.6 bowled off a full toss. It was dipping on him and Nair is swinging across the line. Gets the front leg out of the way but does not put bat to ball which crashes into stumps 110/4

    13.2 this is the legcutter or sorts, and Iyer flicks it through towards deep midwicket. They go for a second run, this is going to be seriously tight. Iyer puts in the dive, but the throw beats him. Rocket throw from de Grandhomme, right over the stumps from the boundary. 106/3

    18.1 off the bottom of the bat, hence the lack of power. Coulter-Nile does well to bowl full and way outside off. Pant is on leg stump and he can't reach that far to get the timing working properly. Only slices the low full toss to Gambhir at point 153/6

    19.5 plays the right shot, but he can't beat short third man this time. Morris is situated deep in his crease, looking for leverage. He gets all that he could possibly need, but the lack of pace is not welcome. The batsman tries to ramp it but finds Umesh 167/7

    2.5 that was pre-meditated from Gambhir and Zaheer strikes again. Comes down the track very early and Zaheer, seeing the batsman's intention, takes it away from him. Fires it outside off with the seam pointing there. Gambhir responds with a wild heave and finds the leading edge that is held by Mathews running back a few steps at backward point 21/3

    0.5 and he has holed out to deep square leg here. Short of a length and Zaheer has rolled his fingers over the seam, so the ball does not come on to the bat as well as he would have liked. De Grandhomme tries to flick and does not keep it along the ground. Gets elevation but not distance. Billings runs in from the deep and snaffles it 5/1

    1.6 great catch by Rishabh Pant behind the stumps. That's a spectacular effort. Good delivery from the bowler as well. On a length and tempting him to go after it. Uthappa has to slightly reach out for it and it is delivered with good pace. Gets an outside edge that flies away and Pant throws himself full-length to his right to snaffle a superb catch 19/2

    14.5 and he has his man with a short ball. It is outside off and comes on at a quicker pace Yusuf would have liked. He has to fetch a pull. Skews it off the top edge and Morris calls for it. Runs a few steps to his left on the follow-through and holds on to it. Critical breakthrough, but has it come a tad late for Daredevils? 131/4

    17.5 driven uppishly and straight into the hands of Zaheer at mid-off. Full and just outside off. Makes sure to give himself enough room and backs himself to go over the in-field. It was perhaps too full for his liking, does not get the elevation he was looking for and it's catching practice for Zaheer 152/5

    19.2 and he follows it up with a ripping legbreak. That one spins away a mile and the batsman has to reach out for it. It was flighted nicely and he is trying to fetch a slog. Loses his balance and drags the foot out. Can't slide it back it as Pant takes the bails off. Full marks to the keeper as well for collecting it despite the sharp turn. But, hang on. Has Pant collected it in front of the stumps. Ah, no. Seemed close from the first angle, but the next two seem okay. Yes, he is gone. 160/6
