19.2 to KA Pollard, Catch it is the cry, and it is taken at deep cover! Full and straight on the stumps, Pollard shuffles across early and then backs away, hits it inside-out while adjusting his crease, mistimes the stroke and finds the deep cover fielder. 183/4 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 42 | 2 | 10.50 | 7 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 0 | |
4.3 to JM Bairstow, Massive appeal, but the umpire is unmoved! Simon Doull says 'that is out!' right away from the live feed comm box. Full and straight angling in on the stumps, the batsman plays across the line off the front foot and misses the line completely. A run-out chance at the striker's end also arises, but the fielder fails to hit the target. Holder sends it upstairs. No bat is involved, confirmed by the Ultra Edge. All three reds and hitting the middle-leg stump. The decision is reversed and that's the end of Bairstow.. 47/1 14.1 to T Banton, Banton departs! Wide delivery darted outside the off-side tramline on a fuller length, Banton shuffles across and reaches for the ball, only manages to connect the outside part of the bat and chips it to short third. Narine moves to his right side and gobbles it up.. 121/3 | ||||||||||

| 3 | 0 | 24 | 1 | 8.00 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
11.4 to Muhammad Waseem, Waseem holes out at long on! Waseem tried to break free and went after the flighted delivery and whacked it straight in the air towards long on, getting enough elevation but not the distance there. Livingstone moves forward a few steps and completes the catch comfortably.. 97/2 | ||||||||||

1.1 to PD Salt, cleaned him up with a peach! A carrom ball floated on middle leg, turning in sharply and squaring Salt up, playing off the front foot across the line of the ball, with no foot movement and the ball turned in past the closed face of the bat and disturbed the furniture. A dream delivery for any spinner out there!. 14/1 | ||||||||||

9.6 to AD Hales, In the airrr, and taken at deep backward square leg! Shortish ball on the stumps, Hales moves onto the back foot and whips it away with the inside part of the bat, targeting the bigger side of the ropes, mistimes the stroke and does not get enough elevation there. Krishnamurthi tracks back and holds on to it.. 96/2 13.3 to AD Russell, Dre Russ goes for a duck! Quicker shortish ball on the off stump line, kept a bit low and does the trick. Dre Russ went for the big heave across the line of the ball, misses the length completely and the ball strikes the top of the off stump.. 109/5 | ||||||||||

12.1 to SE Rutherford, Rutherford's misery with the bat comes to an end. Slower bouncer from around the wicket, waits for the ball and plays the pull shot, does not quite get hold of it and chips it to midwicket. Krishnamurthy comes forward and grabs onto another brilliant catch.. 106/3 12.5 to LS Livingstone, Zahoor strikes again! Full and overpitched pace off the ball outside the off stump line, whacks it straight and flat to long on, and the bat face rotates and mishits straight to Pollard. KP walks a few steps forward, holds on to the catch and turns back straightaway towards the Knight Riders dugout, giving a stern look at someone there.. 108/4 16.3 to SP Narine, Sandshoe crusher! Pace on pinpoint yorker darted on the stumps, nips back in sharply, Narine clears the front leg and tries to hit it through the covers, goes through bat-pad and hits the base of the stumps!. 120/6 | ||||||||||
