1.6 to F du Plessis, And Rana has his revenge next ball! He is off and running in celebrations with his arms stretched. He bowls an offcutter on a length well outside off. Du Plessis once again goes for the scoop over short fine leg but couldn't counter the change of pace. Hits it straight to Starc in the circle. Early strike for KKR. 17/1 17.3 to Anuj Rawat, Soft dismissal. Full offcutter outside off, Rawat looks to go over the off side. Gets a thick outside edge that carries low to Salt behind.. 151/5 See all photos

14.1 to GJ Maxwell, Finally a KKR fielder holds on to a catch. Maxwell departs and Narine strikes. Lands one on a length outside off, gets it to bounce a bit more. Maxwell looks to go hard and gets a top edge towards deep point. Rinku runs in a fair bit and catches it, kisses the ball after that. 124/3
Andre Russell	4	0	29	2	7.25	12	0	3	1	0
8.6 to C Green, Knocked him over! Six-and-out once again tonight. Russell fires it full on the pads, 131.4kph, Green looks to flick it away but misses. The ball ricochets off the back pad and the stumps light up. Russell is pumped up and so are KKR. 82/2 16.3 to RM Patidar, Catching practice for Rinku. Back of a length around off, 112.7kph, Patidar has to manufacture the power in his heave across the line. The bat turns in his hands and he hits it straight to deep midwicket. 100th IPL wicket for Dre Russ. 144/4 See all photos

15.1 to VR Iyer, holes out straight after fifty and Dayal has something to celebrate. Pace-off length ball outside off. Venkatesh tries to tonk a pull over cow corner but this time he drags the shot. Kohli makes no mistake. 167/3
Alzarri Joseph	2	0	34	0	17.00	5	2	4	0	0

6.3 to SP Narine, yorker, on off stump, and this crashes into the base of off stump! Wicket soon after the time-out and Narine will not get a landmark fifty in his 500th T20. He was too slow to bring the bat down, but to be fair, he's done his job tonight. 86/1 See all photos
Vijaykumar Vyshak	4	0	23	1	5.75	6	1	0	0	0
7.5 to PD Salt, buckethands Green grabs that! Short ball angling into him and Salt goes for a pull. But that's been drilled straight to the man who is guarding the deep square leg boundary. Big roar from Vyshak and Salt is gone for 30. 92/2
