    3.3 that is a one-handed stunner from Avesh Khan! Salt slapped it back to Avesh's left and he had to stretch and go low quickly, and boy he did it just in time for the ball to stick in his palm. One of the catches of this IPL and Riyan Parag can breathe easy now 21/1

    17.3 nails the yorker and that's the end of Narine! Swinging into the stumps, beats the bat and that knocks over leg stump in spectacular fashion. Boult goes over to shake Narine's hand immediately because he has played the knock of his life 195/5
    10.4 straight to deep third! Finally some relief for Royals. Raghuvanshi has done his job though. He went after the short ball outside off with an upper square cut and kind of middled it too, but couldn't clear the fielder 106/2
    12.6 Chahal has got Shreyas now, at least for now! Given out on the field, Shreyas seemed ot have walked initially but has reviewed it. He went down on a knee for a slog-sweep but missed the ball and was hit on the back leg right in front off middle. No bat there, Shreyas has started to walk before seeing ball-tracking on the big screen, because it later shows it's hitting middle 133/3
    16.1 slower one at 119.2kmh, pretty wide and Russell throws his bat at it but it's the lack of pace that ensures the ball only reaches the fielder at deep third 184/4

    19.2 the slow offcutter does it for Kuldeep! Full and just outside off, he goes after that and it's gone pretty high, Dhruv Jurel runs back from the circle and dives to his left to complete an excellent catch 215/6

    1.5 gets his revenge as Vaibhav belts out a roar! Comes back superbly with a full delivery on off, this shape away late and Jaiswal is a tad late as he swings through without any feet movement, gets a thick edge and Venky Iyer pouches it nice and easy at slip. 22/1

    4.2 you can't keep that man out! Sunil Narine with an excellent catch at mid-on as Samson goes. Harshit bowls hard length, this one gets Samson high on the bat as he attempts to loft it over the infield, doesn't control that and Narine takes a good catch moving a few steps backwards before timing his jump to perfection. 47/2
    7.5 he's got more elevation than distance and Russell takes the steepler at deep midwicket! Harshit rolled his fingers across the team as he bowled length at 113kph, Riyan fetched it from outside off as he attempted to heave this over long-on, didn't time it as well as he would've liked. 97/3
    8.4 gets it to spin back in to beat the inside edge as Jurel prods tentatively. May have been struck outside the line. KKR have reviewed the on-field call. Narine was ultra confident in his appeal and ball tracking confirms all three reds, so the original decision is reversed. 100/4
    12.1 picks out deep midwicket! Pressure was building, Ashwin looks for the release shot but doesn't time it off the middle as he pulls Chakravarthy's hard length. Excellent catch diving forward from Angkrish Raghuvanshi. 121/5
    12.2 he's chipped this straight to cover. Hetmyer can't believe what he has just done. The length ball sticks into the pitch, a direct consequence of there being no dew, Hetmyer is through with the shot very early. Soft dismissal. 121/6

    16.5 sweet revenge as Narine traps him on the pad. Given lbw but Rovman instinctively reviews. Unless he's got some bat on it, looks quite dead. Ball tracking confirms this would've smashed the stumps. Three reds, Rovman goes. 178/7
    17.3 drilled to long-off, calls for two but they were never going to make it. Boult was very slow in turning around, but in all fairness there was never a second. Boult continued to run nonetheless to get Buttler back on strike. Must say it was an excellent return on the bounce from Iyer to the bowler. 186/8
