That then brings us to the end of Day one of the CLT20. One close game, and one not so close. Do join us for more fun tomorrow. In the meantime, the Aus v SL Test heads for a riveting finish and we'll be back for that in the morning. This is Nitin Sundar signing off with cheers and goodnight!

Presentations time.

Bisla is the MoM: "Both teams were 20 runs or so short, I am pleased we finished on top. The plan was for me to attack and Kallis to bat through. Binga and everyone else bowled really well to pull it back."

Kallis: "We knew the wicket was tough, so we tried and restricted them. In the IPL we lost one or two tight ones, so it is good to get a winning start here. Auckland fielded very well.. We tried too hard, and got into trouble. So there were some lessons to take there - it is good to make some mistakes and still win."

Hopkins: "We thought the new ball was crucial to score against. Funny game in a sense, since both games played the waiting game in the middle. We have a very experienced bowling attack and hope to bounce back tomorrow."

Ashootosh: "I switched to Cricinfo, thinking that you guys are not updating from TV" We are very good, but we aren't Superman you know!

"Wow you write commentary off a TV broadcast!! Pathetic!" Err.. Ejvyas - you are actually reading the pathetic commentary, you know ...

Sriram: "Is Colin Munro anyway related to Burt Munro, the legendary racer from New Zealand?" Considering the way Colin got stuck today, I doubt he has any racing genes in him. That said, he came in with a six-hitting reputation.

Lee to Mills, 1 run, Lee sends down an ice cool yorker! The broadcasters lost their cool. Auckland lost their cool. But Lee didn't. Full and straight, angling in on leg stump. Mills tries to get something, anything, under it, but can only get an inside edge through square leg for one. What heartbreak for Auckland! KKR stay alive, we could have 4 IPL teams in this tournament.

Broadcast is back. Four to win, last ball!

Lee to Mills, 2 runs, high full toss outside off, misfielded at third man and they get two.

The TV broadcast tanks again! Stunning stuff.

Bhavesh: "Strategic error from KKR, getting Munro out. Andre Vin Diesel Adams should finish this one off." Over to Mills for now.

Lee to AR Adams, 1 run, Adams backs away, Lee follows him with a really full ball outside leg that Adams can haul down the ground for only a single.

Lee to Adams for the last over ...
