- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR18.4 bowled him! What a yorker! This was brilliant. He speared a yorker into the feet of du Plessis, he tried to get his feet out of the way, it came off the pads onto the stumps and Faf ended up on all fours! What a great innings though. Out for 96 163/34.1 got him! A good length, and just holds its line after pitching around middle and off, and Watson looks to run it down towards third man, but misses on contact completely. Strikes the top of off, and gives Kings XI Punjab the much-needed breakthrough in the Powerplay 30/116.4 caught at short fine leg! Short slower ball does the trick. Raina got inside the line to pull as it was going down leg, he rolled the wrists but didn't get it down, hitting it straight to Shami who took a simple catch 150/219.2 caught at deep square midwicket! This was in the slot on leg stump, he heaved it away but didn't nail it, he dragged it square and flat to Mandeep in the deep and he held the catch well. 166/419.4 Bowled him! Beaten for pace. This was 145kph, full and tailing into off stump, Jadhav swung hard but it flew past the flashing blade and crashed into off stump.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.3 skied to cover! Finally a mistake. Rahul had been flawless until now. He tossed this up and it just dropped on Rahul late as he ran down and tried to loft over long on, he got a leading edge and skied it straight up to cover, Tahir had to sit under it for awhile but he held on 108/110.4 Two in two! Holed out to long on! Game has changed. This was a half tracker, Gayle sat back and tried to smoke this over long on, he got it off the toe of the bat and hit it flat straight down the substitute's throat. Sixth time Harbhajan gets Gayle! 108/216.2 caught behind! Great catch from Dhoni. It was fired short and wide at speed, Pooran flashed at a cut shot, he got quite a healthy deflection and Dhoni's gloves swallowed it. 164/412.2 caught at deep backward square! This was a short drag down, Agarwal was back and pulling this high behind square but he picked out Jadeja! He hit it straight to him. Could have hit that anywhere. Harbhajan has three 118/3Extras14 (b 4, lb 5, w 5)TOTAL173/4 (18 Overs, RR: 9.61)Fall of wickets: 1-108 (KL Rahul, 10.3 ov), 2-108 (CH Gayle, 10.4 ov), 3-118 (MA Agarwal, 12.2 ov), 4-164 (N Pooran, 16.2 ov)
