19.2 to SR Hain, straight to extra cover! Slower ball that lands right in the slot on off stump. Hain gives himself room and throws his hands at it. Does not get the elevation to clear extra cover, though, and picks him out to perfection!. 179/4
Dushmantha Chameera	4	0	35	2	8.75	10	5	1	0	0
1.3 to AGS Gous, cleans him up with an absolute corker! Back of a length on off and this seems to deck away just a smidgen. Gous is caught on the crease and dangles his bat without any footwork. In fact, his feet seemed to move leg side, if anything. Got nowhere close to the ball as it crashed into the top of off stump. Chameera is pumped; Gous disappointed!. 7/1 1.6 to MS Pepper, edged and gone! Two in the over for Chameera! Shortish outside off. Zips off the surface and hurries Pepper into his cut. He feels he has enough width to work with but the extra pace means that he can only feather it through to the keeper!. 11/2
Kane Richardson	4	0	42	0	10.50	8	3	2	2	0
Akif Raja	4	0	40	0	10.00	3	4	0	1	0
Roelof van der Merwe	2	0	9	1	4.50	4	0	0	0	0
6.2 to A Sharafu, holes out to deep mid wicket! Slows it up on a full length on off stump. Sharafu's eyes light up and he tries to slog it over cow corner. Cloths it, though, and Billings takes a fairly regulation catch on the fence. van der Merwe is pumped, and the Knight Riders lose another wicket to a left-arm bowler (it is 14 out of 17 now)!. 48/3

BOWLING	O	M	R	W	ECON	0s	4s	6s	WD	NB
David Willey	4	0	44	2	11.00	10	5	2	0	0
0.2 to DA Warner, big appeal, given! Reviewed straightaway! Fullish on off stump. Nips back into Warner and seems to beat him on the inside. Raps him on the back leg and the umpire, after deliberation, raises his finger. The swiftness of the review, though, indicates there might be some bat involved. Or, Warner would have felt it hit him too high. No bat involved. Time for Ball Tracking now. It did hit Warner high on the back thigh but was it high enough? Not according to Ball Tracking. Smashing into middle and leg. Three reds and Warner has to go!. 0/1 15.2 to Sikandar Raza, that is a very, very strange dismissal! Slower ball that ends up as a juicy full toss at the stumps. Raza, for some reason, tries to fence it into the on side and the ball pops straight up off the leading edge. Willey completes a return catch, and the Capitals lose their fifth!. 180/5
Imad Wasim	3.1	0	32	0	10.10	3	1	2	1	0
Andre Russell	1	0	19	1	19.00	2	1	2	0	0
3.5 to J Fraser-McGurk, goes straight up, and Russell sends JFM packing! Dug into the track on off stump, and this gets awfully big on JFM. He tries to swipe it away but the extra bounce means that the ball loops straight up. Russell calls early and makes no mistake!. 57/2
Sunil Narine	4	0	23	2	5.75	8	1	0	2	0
4.4 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, edged and taken! Narine takes out Gurbaz! Back of a length outside off. Seems to skid through and Gurbaz, looking for the cut, is late on the stroke. Feathers it through to Gous, who snaffles up a sharp chance. Gurbaz is stood there for a moment or two before trudging towards the pavilion!. 65/3 14.3 to SW Billings, Billings perishes! Given a bit of air on a length outside off. Billings comes down the track, looking to go over long on. He is beaten in the air, though, and is not to the pitch of the ball. Has to reach out and the ball clinks off the toe-end towards long on. Evans settles himself and does the rest, bringing an end a match-winning knock!. 174/4
