    3.4 Tyagi gets rid of Abhishek! This is a back of length delivery around leg at 144kph. Abhishek looks to pull and is cramped for room and hurried by the pace. Gets it off the top edge and the ball balloons to midwicket's left for a simple catch 44/1
    8.6 Oh, the Head show is over! He's picked out deep midwicket as he fails to put away this hit-me ball from Varun! KKR's spin maestro bowls a long hop, and will be relived to see Head miscue this one as the ball goes to hand. Gives the batter a pat as he walks off after a sensational knock 105/2
    15.6 one attempt too many from Kishan. He's caught by his Jharkhand team-mate Anukul, who's at long-off. This time Narine floats one much slower and wider of off. The ball is angling across, and dipping on a length outside off. Kishan is down the track again, but this time ends up slicing it high for Anukul to catch. The bat turned in his hands as he lofted it, and that was a sign of where the ball was probably heading 148/7
    10.4 stunner from Powell!! This is perhaps the catch of the season. He was at deep midwicket and ran forward, but seemed to have overrun. Realising that, he threw himself nearly behind him with his right hand stretched out like a mit. The ball managed to stick in it even as Powell tumbled and banged his head down on the ground. Even his glasses broke in the process, but the third umpire checks replays multiple times to confirm if it was a clean catch as Powell's hand touched the turf while he fell. He's finally satisfied - Powell already has a new pair of glasses on in the meanwhile - and Klaasen walks back. Klaasen had pulled this bouncer from wide of off, and ended up mistiming it 117/3
    11.3 gone!! Rahane at cover in action again. Smaran decided to skip down the pitch, but was beaten by the lack of pace as Varun delivered this from back of the hand. Did Smaran really have to attack, though? He advanced down the pitch early, and got a length delivery around sixth stump. He went slicing, but only ended up skying it. Rahane moved to his left to complete the take 122/4
    13.4 good catch by Rahane!! It's a no-look slog from Aniket, who has to look and move towards the pavilion now. Rahane was placed at cover, turned halfway to his right, looked up with the sun in his eyes, and kept his concentration. The ball dipped on to him, and completed the take even as he slipped. Varun teased Aniket with a slower ball which dipped on a fullish length around off, and Aniket went heaving with a horizontal bat 135/5
    15.1 that's 200 IPL wickets for Narine!! The fact that he gets it with a beautiful ball makes it just perfect. He floats one from the front of the hand, and bowls on a shortish length around off. The ball straightened to beat Arora's push forward, and struck the off stump. Lovely bowling 139/6
    16.6 got him?! Oh, Anukul went up in celebration, but the umpire asks him to calm down. Wait, there's some confusion here. Cummins seems to be walking back, but the umpire has referred it to his TV colleague. The first replay shows the ball dipping on to Anukul, with the first impression of the third umpire being of "fingers underneath the ball" as he looks to catch it with both hands. Oh, he says the "ball clearly carried". So Cummins is indeed gone. Anukul always looked convinced. Cummins went slashing at this very full and wide ball outside off, and ended up playing with a flat bat. The ball went flat and low to Anukul, who did well to barely grab it off the pitch 156/8
    17.1 Raghuvanshi is up in appeal, but the umpire calls wide. The KKR keeper checks with his captain... and Rahane reviews. Wow, that's plenty of action in no time. Ohh, there's movement on UltraEdge as the ball passes the glove. So Shivang has to go. The decision is reversed. SRH are sliding and slipping. It was an offcutter from Arora, who banged a bouncer outside off. The ball seamed in to finish on top of leg, and Shivang went for the pull. But he seemed to have played late, as the ball rose sharply 156/9
    18.6 gone!! SRH are bowled out for 165. Nobody ever said 300 was easy, if I have to borrow a line from The Scientist!! Slower delivery from Tyagi, who bowled it short and outside off. But he still got good carry despite the lack of pace. The ball finished around middle, and Harshal went for the pull. He ended up getting a top edge, and Arora took the skied ball by moving to his left 165/10

    14.6 got him!! A late twist coming? Simple catch for Smaran at square leg. Rahane is rushed by this pacy short ball climbing on to him. He goes for the pull from middle stump, but gets it off the top half of the bat. The ball seemed to have rushed on to him as Sakib switched back to the pace-on delivery 133/2
    3.6 And, Finn's fun is over. Not a ball you want to get out to, full and sliding down leg. Allen looks to whip it leg side, but it goes off the toe end and straight to deep midwicket. Klaasen doesn't drop those! 49/1
    16.4 taken at long-off. In fact, the fielder was a good ten steps in. But is it too late for SRH? Shivang bowled the wrong 'un, as a fullish delivery turned away to finish on off. AR was into his attempted loft early, and the bottom hand came off the bat as the ball popped up towards long-off 151/3
