Shami to Narine, out Caught by Klaasen!! Narine has been given OUT caught behind, he isn't sure, hangs around, has a chat with his partner and then decides against a review, off he goes and the Knight Riders have lost both openers. Was almost a perfect yorker, full and wide of off, Narine backed away and then tried to steer it onto the off-side, the ball definitely hit the bat, the bat then brushed the ground and that caused the confusion for Narine, but Klaasen's catch is clean, diving to his right and the Sunrisers are off to a perfect start. Narine c Klaasen b Shami 7(7) [6s-1]

Cummins to de Kock, out Caught by Zeeshan Ansari!! The plan works and de Kock has been dismissed for a cheap score once again, banged in short and the left-hander shaped up for the pull, but he's slightly rushed onto the shot, doesn't get anywhere near the middle of the bat and lobs it in the air towards deep mid-wicket. Ansari runs in from the deep, bends forward and then completes a simple catch. de Kock c Zeeshan Ansari b Cummins 1(6)
