- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 chest-high short ball on the off stump, skids on, and Guptill has been bounced out. This ball rushes Guptill into a hook and cramps him for room. He skies a biiiiig top edge. Thampi tracks it down at long leg. The extra pace from Sangwan surprised Guptill. Good work from Sangwan though, he had encouraged Guptill to drive, then got one to zip onto him quickly 2/119.5 Thampi nails the yorker, this swings in a bit and raps him on the front pad. He plays across the line and is pinned in front. What an innings, though. He walks off to a rousing reception 187/315.4 Marsh toe-ends a catch to Finch at long-on. Kulkarni breaks the stand. Good length ball on the leg stump, Marsh can't get under it. He skies it to the man in the deep 127/2Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL189/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.45)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Martin Guptill, 0.5 ov), 2-127 (Shaun Marsh, 15.4 ov), 3-187 (Hashim Amla, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.2 gone, finally. Two lives, but not a third one. Back of a length, angling across to off stump. Gets down low after clearing his front leg, slogs it hard, and picks out Guptill at deep midwicket. Just the tiniest opening for Kings XI 120/29.2 gone, this time Miller holds on. Fuller this time, angling into the stumps, and Kishan, taking a stride down the pitch, slogs it to the left of deep midwicket - not as far to his left as he'd have liked - and Miller takes a good tumbling catch 91/117.1 vital blow. Full on leg stump, Raina clears his front leg and looks to slog it away, he's working against the angle and can't middle it, and he skews it off the outside half of his bat. Gurkeerat takes one this time, moving to his right from deep midwicket 162/317.4 another bouncer, not the slower one this time, and it takes off steeply. Finch, looking to pull from over his right shoulder, gets a thin edge through to Saha, and are Kings XI back in this? 165/4Extras6 (lb 3, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL192/4 (19.4 Overs, RR: 9.76)Fall of wickets: 1-91 (Ishan Kishan, 9.2 ov), 2-120 (Dwayne Smith, 11.2 ov), 3-162 (Suresh Raina, 17.1 ov), 4-165 (Aaron Finch, 17.4 ov)
