- BATSMENRB4s6sSR15.6 brilliant catch by Uthappa at cover this was too full, and Warner drove it powerfully from his crease. That looked headed for the fence but Uthappa tumbled to his left to pluck the ball just inches from the ground. End of a fabulous innings, who would have ever thought he's been away? 144/212.5 another googly gets him pitched a little short of length and Bairstow wanted to smash it through midwicket, went for the pull but he was too early into the shot and the ball sneaks under his bat to knock back off-stump. The opening stand has been broken 118/117.3 castled Yusuf had been softened up by Lockie, and Dre Russ builds on that by bowling a beautifully disguised slower ball. Rolled his fingers along the ball and got it yorker length. Yusuf wanted to flick it away, was too early into the shot and the ball homed in on the base of the stumps 152/3Extras8 (b 1, lb 4, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL181/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-118 (Jonny Bairstow, 12.5 ov), 2-144 (David Warner, 15.6 ov), 3-152 (Yusuf Pathan, 17.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.6 looked to wallop across the line on the pull but this one skids through to keep low, lobs off the toe-end of Lynn's bat and the cover fielder takes an absolute dolly. Superb bowling, this was the arm-ball from Shakib at 95kph. Rashid can't ask for an easier catch 7/115.3 strikes first ball after the break lights out at Eden, now lights out for KKR? This was the leg-break, pitched on middle and spun in just enough to beat his attempted drive back with a straight bat, strikes him on the pad. Loud appeal and the finger goes up. Rana doesn't review, walks off 118/411.4 the off-stump is flattened! Uthappa steps out and makes room to carve behind point but is beaten by the length and late movement. Huge scalp. 87/212.4 chipped straight to cover slower ball and it seemed to hold up on the pitch a bit. Full outside off, Karthik was way too early into the drive and ends up chipping it straight in the air. Dolly of a catch to Bhuvneshwar 95/3Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL183/4 (19.4 Overs, RR: 9.3)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Chris Lynn, 1.6 ov), 2-87 (Robin Uthappa, 11.4 ov), 3-95 (Dinesh Karthik, 12.4 ov), 4-118 (Nitish Rana, 15.3 ov)
