- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.5 full ball around leg stump and doesn't turn either way Curran tries to knock it leg side but he's beaten, and the ball hits him on the knee roll. Appeal for LBW - but not given, however, Gill reviews again. What do we have here.... another umpire error, and another Titans wicket on review! Pitched on leg stump, hit him on leg stump, and crashing into leg stump. Gill jumps onto Rashid to celebrate 67/35.3 another promising Prabhsimran innings cut short in the IPL! Fullish ball just outside off. Singh comes down the track to try and loft it over cover but gets an edge to the keeper instead 52/16.6 big lbw call next ball! Full ball outside off and turning in. Rossouw gets down to sweep but it hits his pad. They scurry across for a leg bye as the umpire says not out. Gujarat Titans review and the ball-tracking shows that is plumb lbw. Turning in enough to crash into leg stump. Rossouw tried to rely on the sweep against the turning ball but Noor outfoxed him there 63/211.4 oh that's simply beautiful from Sai! Drags his length back, slows it in the air, and deceives Jitesh. The batter came charging down to try and hit another big shot after two dots, but the ball lands well before him, turns across, goes under his bat, and crashes into the stumps 86/510.2 first slip plan pays off! Length ball around off. Googly takes it across Livingstone. Batter tries to flick against the turn to midwicket, and that induces the outside edge. Ball goes quickly to Tewatia, but he sticks his hands out to his right to grab onto it 78/415.2 his third wicket! Sai has been varying his pace, forcing mis-hits and mistakes, and this time Shashank hits it right back to the bowler. Sai bowls a length ball, flat, and Shashank comes down the track to meet it. But he cannot get the bat swing through the ball, instead bunting a catch straight back to Sai 99/713.5 holes out at deep extra cover! Sai goes fullish outside off. Ashutosh uses his feet to get to the pitch but he's a bit late into the shot. Decent hit, but decent is not good enough for Mullanpur's dimensions. Taken on the boundary line 92/619.6 bunts a shot away to deep square leg, and they take off for a couple of runs, but the throw from the deep to Saha is decent, and the keeper throws the balls with both hands onto the stumps. And the smart work has resulted in Bhatia being run out at the keeper's end by an inch! Story of the PBKS innings... Punjab Kings bowled out for 142 142/1018.6 six? Looks like, but no, Shahrukh Khan is a tall man and he earns his fellow Tamil Nadu team-mate a four-for. It was an overpitched ball on off and Brar did really well to get the bat under it to get the elevation, but it wasn't enough on this occasion as SRK jumps up and grabs the ball from only inches inside the boundary line 139/819.2 full ball outside off stump. Slot length and Harshal smacks it down the V, but Shahrukh is lurking on the long-on boundary again. Harshal got a solid connection there but the slower ball was the difference between him clearing the fence and falling short 140/9Extras4 (lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL142 all out (20 Overs, RR: 7.1)Did not bat: Arshdeep SinghFall of wickets: 1-52 (Prabhsimran Singh, 5.3 ov), 2-63 (Rilee Rossouw, 6.6 ov), 3-67 (Sam Curran, 7.5 ov), 4-78 (Liam Livingstone, 10.2 ov), 5-86 (Jitesh Sharma, 11.4 ov), 6-92 (Ashutosh Sharma, 13.5 ov), 7-99 (Shashank Singh, 15.2 ov), 8-139 (Harpreet Brar, 18.6 ov), 9-140 (Harshal Patel, 19.2 ov), 10-142 (Harpreet Singh, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 short and pulled... straight to midwicket! Arshdeep gets the breakthrough that Kings needed. Came off the toe of the bat and that's a simple catch for Ashutosh. Saha inspects his stick critically and then heads for the dugouts 25/19.3 goes down the ground... but hasn't caught it! Livingstone roars in delight, he's got the big wicket of Gill. He stretched out to meet it but didn't get enough on the lofted shot and it's a comfortable catch for Rabada some way in from the rope at long-off. Gill gulled and Kings have a window of opportunity 66/214.4 chopped on! Sammy Cuz-Cuz strikes back! Length ball, scrambled seam and Sai plays a flat-footed jab that detonates his own stumps. Big wicket for Kings with Sai looking to anchor the chase. Curran making things happen in approved style 97/411.5 timbeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr! No Miller Time for GT tonight. Livingstone has put him on ice. Another vein-popping celebration from Livingstone and Kings might just start to believe they can do this. The ball was tossed up and skidding under Miller's big swing across the line to rattle middle and leg stumps 77/315.2 nicked behind, Harshal strikes! Hard length coming back at Azmat and he flashes at a drive, producing a fat edge through to the keeper. Kings are not letting this one go 103/518.1 yorked him! Full with pace off and it dips under the bat, flicks the boot and then hits off stump. Beautifully bowled but probably too late for Kings 138/618.6 full toss, scooped to midwicket! Titans continue to make a meal of the chase. Rashid picks out Rossouw for a good, low catch, smiles and walks off.
