    1.6 Southee has the last laugh as this good length ball angles down leg and Singh can't help himself but try to flick it fine. This time it gets an edge and Gurbaz moves to his left to gobble it up. Singh's cameo is over, but it has given the Kings a positive start 23/1

    14.3 through him - and Dhawan's captaincy curse continues where he is yet to get a fifty after being (C).- Good length ball on leg and skidding straight through. Hits Dhawan's pad en route to the stumps. Dhawan goes for 40 with a strike rate of 137 143/4
    10.6 going, going, not gone! Rajapaksa fifty and out. Fullish ball ball around leg and Rajapaksa took one step down the track before trying to tonk it over long on. The connection is decent but not good enough to clear long on. Rinku gets under it and takes a regulation catch a few metres inside the crease. But he's done his job 109/2
    13.3 too much experience in Southee and he produces another good ball after being hit for a six. Slower ball just outside off stump. Jitesh loses his shape while trying to slog it over the leg side, but this sliced shot produces a simple catch for Umesh at short third 135/3
    17.5 simple for Rana running square from point. Narine with a bit more air on off. Raza backs away and tries to go inside out. Ends up slicing it high for an easy dismissal. KKR quietly pulling things back at the death 168/5

    1.1 Arshdeep strikes first ball! He is celebrating with his arms wide, and with half a sprint down long leg. Good pace and bounce from him though. H pitched it about middle and off, as the ball angled across, and rose rather sharply on off stump. Mandeep pulled, but the extra bounce got him. Straight into deep square leg's hands 13/1
    4.2 Ellis pings off stump! This time Ellis had good pace on ball, changing up after that slower delivery last ball. Gurbaz, again trying to be adventurous, makes some room, and also skips out of the crease. He hacks at this good length ball on off - rather it was on the shorter side of a length - and missed, as the stumps lit up 29/3
    1.6 spooned to midwicket! Arsh gets two in this over. I think the extra bounce came into play again, and so did his pace. Another short delivery from Arsh, and this one's line was a bit wide of off, much further away from the middle-stump line he cramped Anukul with previous ball. Anukul pulled, but found the fielder, who didn't have to move at all 17/2
    15.3 ramped to point! Another bouncer from Arsh earns him a wicket. The bounce was a bit too much for Iyer to handle. Arsh banged it in short around off, with Iyer almost leaping a little to get on top of it. But he ended up half-ramping it - and without any control - to point 138/7
    9.2 slashed straight to point! Raza is relieved after going for some runs in his first two overs. That was there to be hit, but Rana ended up gifting the fielder an easy catch. Short and slightly wide of off, as Rana went hard at that only to end up walking back. So the time-out breaks his momentum 75/4
    10.1 strikes first ball, just like Arshdeep! Rinku goes after the legspinner right away, but finds deep midwicket. Chahar bowls on a length on off, but it is the wrong 'un. It turns away from Rinku's arc, as he looks to slog sweep. Instead, the ball ends up landing right into the fielder's lap 80/5
    14.5 finds deep midwicket! Could be exactly the wrong time for KKR, given there is rain around. Curran went short again, except that this one was an offcutter, which rose sharply after pitching middle and leg, while also angling across. Russell swat-pulled but only off the higher side of the bat 130/6
