    10.2 has that carried?! Looks like it has, and Shami throws away the ball to the umpire rather nonchalantly! Rahane asked to wait, though! Dragged down outside off. Rahane winds up and hacks it flat towards mid wicket, where Shami lunges low to his right and seems to gobble it up cleanly. The third umpire has been called into question this time, and it seems like his fingers are underneath the ball. Third umpire taking multiple looks, and he concludes it is a clean catch. Right call made, and Rahane has to go! 99/2
    1.4 goes a mile up, and taken on the fence! Hard length just outside off and this seems to rear up slightly. A bit of away movement too and Allen, mowing across the line, gets a massive top edge. Rathi settles himself on the deep third fence and takes it smartly to his left, while standing right on the fence. Top grab, and LSG's powerplay incision continues. But hang on, replays suggest that Rathi was perilously close to touching the skirting. There was not an extensive check. Maybe there should have been one. A slight suggestion that one of the cushion may just have moved. Well well... 15/1
    11.4 holes out to long on, and LSG's spinners are applying the squeeze! Speared in full on leg. Raghuvanshi skips down but gets too close to the ball. Cannot get under it enough and arrows it straight down Markram's throat. KKR lose two in quick succession, and LSG now have a more than decent foothold in this contest! 105/3

    13.2 knocks him over with a ripper, and Rinku is outta here! Back of a length, angling into off. On pitching, though, it decks away just a shade. Rinku tries to poke at it but is beaten by the movement against the angle. Off stump pegged back, and KKR losing their way here! 111/4

    4.3 gloved through the keeper, and Arora is turning on the heat! Not the best ball he will ever bowl, but this gets the job done. Short and sliding down leg. Marsh only needs to help it fine but the tickle is so faint that the keeper can come around to gather. Marsh throws his head back in disappointment, and KKR have gone back-to-back! 42/2
    4.1 miscued a mile up, and Powell does the rest! Arora lands KKR's first punch! Dug in short just outside off. Markram looks for that favoured pull of his but the ball gets a tad big on him. Cannot quite control his stroke and the ball spoons up to deep mid wicket. Arora is pumped. The crowd is pumped too, and this is a big wicket! 41/1
    8.2 Pant miscues a pull, and KKR's million-dollar buy delivers with the ball straightaway! Short and finishing just outside off. Pant has a swipe at it but has to fetch it from around his back shoulder. Skews it tamely off the top edge and Tyagi, moving to his right from short fine leg, makes no mistake. Green is thrilled to bits, and LSG in a spot of bother now! 73/3

    14.4 chipped straight to long off, and is that the game?! This is brave and beautiful bowling. Hung up wider and given just enough air to tempt Badoni into the inside-out lofted drive. He has to reach out in front too much, though, and all he manages is a chip into Rinku's palms. Anukul with another major breakthrough, and LSG's chase is flagging! 125/6
    11.4 yet another LSG batter falls to the short ball! Bashed into the track just outside off. Pooran looks to swipe it out of sight but makes a mess of it. Shanks it terribly and Ramandeep, stood well inside the long on fence, accepts the offering with glee. LSG falling apart now! 95/4
    12.5 through him, and Samad has to walk too! Slowed up on a fullish length on middle and off. Samad is enticed into a slog and loses his shape a tad. Misses the ball completely as it slides in with the angle. The ball kisses the back leg and then thuds into the stumps. LSG in all sorts of trouble now! 104/5

    15.6 Shami slogs and Shami falls! Narine doing his thing again. Slows it up on a length on off. Shami has had enough of the defensive play and swings at it with all his might. Drags it a little, though, and deep square leg does not have to move a muscle. Narine celebrates, and that is a sight you do not see very often. LSG on the brink! 128/7
