Alzarri Joseph to Nathan Edwards, out Caught by Wiese!! TKR have been bowled out for 109! On a length around off, Nathan Edwards chips this straight to the fielder at mid-off. Taken by Wiese and a mediocre batting effort by TKR comes to an end. Their fans in the stands look prertty disappointed. Nathan Edwards c Wiese b Alzarri Joseph 17(24) [6s-1]

Shamsi to Pollard, out Bowled!! Another ripper and it's a copy cat of Russell's dismissal - Shamsi runs all the way towards the dressing room and has something to say at the dug-out. Was a massive turner once again, drifts away, drops and then turns back into the right-hander, Pollard was attempting to break the shackles with a big hit, his feet is nowhere close to the ball and the middle-stump takes a beating once again. Pollard b Shamsi 14(17) [4s-1]

K Pierre to Pollard, FOUR, cracking shot, dropped short and wide of off - Pollard gets on top of the bounce and then clatters the cut wide of cover, races away to the ropes

Shamsi to Russell, out Bowled!! He wasn't reading him once bit and Shamsi wheels away in celebration once again - this time it's the shoe celebration and the Knight Riders fight themselves in tatters. Was another lovely delivery that spun back sharply, dipped and turned into the right-hander - Russell was nowhere near the ball as he swung blindly, the ball curves past the inside edge and crashes into the top of the middle-stump. Russell b Shamsi 12(7) [4s-1 6s-1]

K Pierre to Russell, SIX, lovely, a counter-punch from Russell - tad too full and right in the slot, he clears the left leg and then hoists it high over long-on for a maximum

Roston Chase to Pooran, out Caught by Seifert!! Is there an under-edge on that? Seifert was very confident and SLK have reviewed straightaway. Turn and some indifferent bounce from off, was flat enough for Pooran to go back on the flick, but has the ball caught an under-edge? There's a spike on the UltraEdge with the bat next to the ball - the original call will be overturned and the Knight Riders have lost their captain. Excellent call from Seifert, he was very confident and the replays vindicated him - looks like a two-paced dry pitch and the ball didn't bounce as much as Pooran expected, grazed the inside edge and Seifert was right behind the line as he completed the catch. They've taken the strategic break with the Knight Riders having lost half their side. Pooran c Seifert b Roston Chase 30(27) [4s-1 6s-2]

Shamsi to Akeal Hosein, out Bowled!! A first-ball duck for Akeal Hosein - the promotion doesn't work and the Knight Riders are in some trouble here. A superby disguised wrong 'un, drifts away and then spins back into the left-hander, drags Akeal Hosein into the drive, bursts through the bat-pad gap and crashes into the stumps. The zings bails are off and Shamsi begins his celebrations. Akeal Hosein b Shamsi 0(1)

Roston Chase to Hales, out Bowled!! That's the end of Hales - didn't get a lot of strike, couldn't get a move on and was looking flustered, backs away early to a well tossed up delivery on off, was looking to go inside out over cover with the lofted drive, the ball drifts away and past the outside edge, crashing into the off-stump. Three wickets inside the batting PP and this is a good start from the defending champions. Hales b Roston Chase 9(10) [4s-1]

Wiese to Pooran, SIX, back-to-back sixes and Pooran is on the move, Wiese dragged the length back, but it's a tad too short and lets the left-hander swivel into the pull, smacks it high and wide of long-on for another maximum

Wiese to Pooran, SIX, he's picked the bones off this - was the slower ball, but it's well-spotted by Pooran, leans across and then hoists it high over mid-wicket, sent it sailing into the stands for a maximum

Roston Chase to Hales, FOUR, crunched, too full and too wide form Chase - Pooran gets under it and then drills the drive over wide mid-off, no need to run for those

K Pierre to Darren Bravo, out Caught by Alzarri Joseph!! A top-edge, Alzarri settles at short fine and holes onto a simple reverse cupped catch. Was pushed through quicker by Pierre, Bravo was shaping to hoick it onto the on-side, was through with the shot early, the ball catches a big leading edge and the big pacer is under at short fine to complete the catch.

K Pierre to Munro, out Caught by Delano Potgieter!! A half-pull and Munro has holed out to deep backward square leg, was a well flighted delivery that drifted back into the left-hander and Munro was cramped up for room on the pull, hit a fraction high on the bat and he dragged it behind square on the on-side - Potgeiter got into an excellent position and completed a fine low catch to his right in the deep. Munro c Delano Potgieter b K Pierre 0(2)
