    1.5 taken this time! de Kock perishes early! Fullish and slanted across the batter outside off. de Kock goes after it again, but does so with minimal footwork. Gets a thick outside edge and the ball floats to Narine at short third, who accepts the offering gleefully. Arora did not begin this over well, but he has certainly come back strong since! 19/1
    10.2 holes out to deep mid wicket! Russell gets Rahul! Another shortish ball, although this is on the stumps. Rahul, trying to up the ante, opens up his stance and swipes at it. Gets a decent piece of it but the only problem is that he hits it straight down Ramandeep's throat. Much easier catch, compared to earlier, and LSG lose their skipper! 78/3
    4.4 taken superbly at backward point by Ramandeep Singh! Length in the channel just outside off. Nips away a smidgen with the angle too. Hooda tries to drive on the up but cannot keep it down. Skews off the outer half of the bat and arrows towards backward point, where Ramandeep flies to his right and snares it. He was almost parallel to the ground when he took that, and KKR will be chuffed with that wicket! 39/2
    14.4 goes straight up, and Badoni bites the dust! Slowed up just a shade on a length outside off. Seems to drift away late too. Badoni tries the expansive sweep but cannot get to the pitch of the ball. Skews it off the top edge and the ball swirls towards deep backward square leg. Raghuvanshi circles under it, tracks it all the way and holds on. LSG keep losing wickets! 111/5
    11.4 smart work by Salt, and Stoinis has to walk back! Tossed up a touch on a length outside off. Grips in the surface and rips back in. Stoinis does not account for that much turn and jams it off the inside edge into his pads. The ball pops up and Salt keeps his eyes on it all the way. Reacts quick enough and snaffles it sharply to his right, one-handed. KKR keep chipping away, and LSG, in trying to increase the tempo, have lost two in quick succession! 95/4
    19.1 edged and gone! No Pooran pyrotechnics in the final over! Length delivery hung up a long way outside off. In fact, it was beyond the tramlines. Pooran went after it and because it was so far, he could only feather it through to Salt. Subdued celebrations, but this is a huge wicket, and could possibly alter the score by 10-12 runs, at least! 155/6

    19.6 Starc finishes with a wicket, and what a brilliant final over this has been! After taking pace off the last ball, Starc goes for the searing full delivery. Tails into middle and off, and Arshad, swinging like a rusty gate, does not get anywhere near the ball. Crashes into the stumps, and LSG are held to 161! 161/7
