Russell to Tom Curran, SIX, palmed over the ropes! It's a full toss around off, Curran lofts it straight, and Asalanka jumps over the ropes at long-off looking to flick it back but fails

Kumara to Tom Curran, FOUR, sharp bouncer just outside off, and Curran has somehow sliced it over the keeper's head. What a shot

Kumara to Tom Curran, no run, loud shout for LBW as Kumara nails the yorker on leg. Curran loses balance in trying to keep it out and goes to the floor. Not sure if he's got bat on it here. The decision is not out and Knight Riders have reviewed. Okay, so here's UltraEdge, and there's a spike as it goes under the toe-end before hitting the back leg. But is that spike after it goes past the bat? The third umpire decides that there's bat involved and rules it not out

Kumara to Rutherford, out Caught by Dhananjaya!! Doesn't quite get hold of this one. It's back of a length, rushes onto Rutherford and hits high on the bat as he looks to pull. Taken comfortably at long-on. Rutherford c Dhananjaya b Kumara 23(7) [4s-2 6s-2]

Kumara to Rutherford, FOUR, full ball speared into the pads, and Rutherford whips it away through midwicket with such good timing. He's flown to 23 off just 6 balls

Matiullah Khan to Rutherford, SIX, oh remarkable shot! No wonder he's smiling. It's full outside off, a slower one, and Rutherford creams it over cover for six. Special shot!

Munro c Akeal Hosein b Kumara 56(41) [4s-4 6s-2]

Narine to Munro, SIX, hasn't absolutely middled the slog-sweep but it's good enough to clear midwicket! Narine finishes off with 0/33

Matiullah Khan to Hales, SIX, hammered! Pitched up in the slot on leg, Hales clears the front leg and hits powerfully through the line for six

Narine to Munro, byes, FOUR, oh dear! Munro is beaten on the slog-sweep and the keeper misses it completely as well. Runs away to the boundary

Akeal Hosein to Hales, 1 run, a chance goes down and Hales gets a reprieve! Big moment. It's full around middle, Hales looks to slog-sweep but it goes high off a thick top-edge.

Russell to Mustafa, out Caught by Asalanka!! Deceives him with the slower ball! The line is also key here as this is quite wide outside off. Mustafa doesn't move his feet at all, just throws his hands at it, and he's way too early through the shot. It goes straight up off the toe-end for an easy catch at cover. Mustafa c Asalanka b Russell 8(5) [4s-2]

Russell to Mustafa, FOUR, short of length into the body, Mustafa swivels across and pulls over short fine
