BOWLING	O	M	R	W	ECON	0s	4s	6s	WD	NB
Mohammed Shami	4	0	30	1	7.50	11	5	0	0	0
2.4 to RA Tripathi, timber. Shami bowls seam-up, targetting the stumps, and gets appreciable seam movement from a length outside off, and knocks back the middle stump and send the leg stump flying. True to his role, Tripathi is trying to clear the infield, and not defend or nudge. 12/1
Arshdeep Singh	4	1	25	1	6.25	15	4	0	2	0
18.2 to AD Russell, Arshdeep has got the big wicket of Russell. That might be worth 10 runs. He stays away from the swinging arc. Bowls full and wide, and the angle takes it further away. All Russell manages is an outside edge to the keeper. 150/5
Chris Jordan	4	0	37	0	9.25	8	4	1	1	0
Mujeeb Ur Rahman	4	0	44	0	11.00	6	3	2	1	0
Ravi Bishnoi	4	0	25	1	6.25	7	1	0	0	0
10.4 to EJG Morgan, Morgan perishes. He is looking to go over the short off-side boundary, and he has picked the wrong'un to do so, but the ball sits in the surface and he is early into the shot, ending up dragging this to long-on for an easy catch. 63/3

14.2 to MA Agarwal, Agarwal perishes trying to pick on the short boundary. Goes across to try to play the pick-up shot and lofts this length ball straight down the throat of deep midwicket. 115/1 18.4 to Prabhsimran Singh, sharp offcutter bouncer. Singh is cramped as he looks to back away. Ends up trying to play an upper-cut but gets no power behind it because it has got big on him. Rana runs back from point to take the catch. 149/3 18.6 to KL Rahul, bowled'im. This is what happens when you leave yourself too much to do. Suddenly 74 off 58 doesn't look like a great effort after all. Full toss outside off, Rahul looks for the boundary into the leg side, and gets a big inside edge onto his wicket. 151/4

17.2 to N Pooran, oh Pooran. What is he doing here? Makes room early, Narine slows it down, bowl an offbreak, he swings across the line, his head falls away, he misses the ball, Narine hits the top of middle stump. 144/2 19.5 to Mandeep Singh, he goes for a six into the big side of the ground. Clever bowling from Narine. KKR are favourites now. He has holed out. Gets too much under this front-of-the-hand delivery. Taken at deep midwicket. 158/5
