pitched up and outside off, carved up and over point for a four but Rajasthan have sewn this game up

on a length and outside off, he swings and misses

Oh what an insane catch! Superb tag-team work from Southee and Karun Nair. What presence of mind. The fielding has veered from ordinary to extraordinary tonight. This is an extraordinary, assisted hokey-pokey catch. On a length and on the leg stump, Bailey attacks it and sends it into the Pune night sky. Tim Southee goes as far back on the long-on boundary as he could, leaps, plucks out his right hand and takes it. But his balance is shot as the momentum threatens to take him over the ad boards. However, he has the presence of mind to pass it to Karun, who dives across to his right and hangs onto a low catch. This is one for archived viewing

Faulker changes his pace and slips in a slower ball, he misses the flick and takes it on his pad

low full toss on middle, squirted over point off a leading edge of sorts

Johnson perishes for nought after being hoodwinked by Faulkner's change of pace. Oh wait, the umpires are checking for a possible no-ball. He may have had some part of his heel behind the bowling crease. Johnson aims to go big and holes out to long-off

darted full and wide outside off, Bailey makes room and squeezes it to the off side

Bailey wades into Faulkner. Back of a length and on the leg stump, Bailey tonks it over over midwicket. Away she sails over. Replays show that the ball boy had clasped his hands around the ball

and agaainnn! Speared full and outside leg as Southee follows Mitch, who makes room and fails to fire the big blow

full and outside leg as Mitch makes room, swings and misses

on a length and outside off, Mitch, who had initially backed away, can't connect with it

hurled in mighty full, not quite a pin-point yorker. Axar steps away and misses it completely. Southee shatters the leg stump. This sluggish knock - 24 off 28 balls - has sucked all the oxygen from Kings XI Punjab's chase

Southee hunts for a yorker, delivers a full toss, which is punched back at the bowler. Southee gets both hands on it, but can only parry it away over his head. The ball actually grazed Southee's fingertips and flew over. I am not that harsh to call it a drop

Bailey moves across the crease, Southee hurls it full and outside off, another wide. Yes, this is a cruel game if you're a bowler

Bailey winds up for a big blow, Southee sprays this wide outside off

Axar steps away and makes room, the bowler catches up with him. Fuller and fired, squirted to the leg side off an inside edge
