- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 Bates has a wicket, Bisla has no 50. He's tried to work a full toss from off stump to the leg side, but ends up getting a leading edge that lands in cover's hands. 73/114.1 There's a Quiney at deep square leg! Kallis can't believe it, but it is true. And as he always does, Kallis asks the fielder and walks. This is what won him a nomination for the Spirit of Cricket award. Full ball on leg stump, he hoicked it off the pads and it seemed set for six, or may be a one-bounce four. Quiney was prowling in the deep though, he ran back and tumbled to the right to take a catch, a few feet in front of the ropes. 93/313.5 stumps are everywhere. Yusuf tries to cross-bat a full ball and misses. Eww. That was an ugly shot. Adams did well to keep it full and straight. 93/214.4 KKR in a mini-slump here. Tiwary slogs across the line and misses. Mills hits the stumps. See you later. 95/415.2 Kiwi fielding #FTW. RTD is on his way home. Shakib chops a ball outside off through backward point and takes off. Jimmy Adams moves quickly to his right, picks up and throws down the stumps with his left-arm throw. RTD is just out. KKR in deep trouble. They've lost 4/5 in 10 balls. 98/517.3 Auckland are fielding like fire! And KKR are melting like ice. Fulltoss from Martin outside off, Bhatia forces it straight to Adams at mid-off who bulls-eyes the stumps at the bowler's end. Shakib had backed up too far and wasn't close to making it back. Didn't even bother stretching. 106/6Extras5 (lb 4, w 1)TOTAL121/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.05)Fall of wickets: 1-73 (Manvinder Bisla, 9.3 ov), 2-93 (Yusuf Pathan, 13.5 ov), 3-93 (Jacques Kallis, 14.1 ov), 4-95 (Manoj Tiwary, 14.4 ov), 5-98 (Ryan ten Doeschate, 15.2 ov), 6-106 (Shakib Al Hasan, 17.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.1 make that two in two! The game is open again. Both set batsmen back in now. Adams presses out and whips a little early, it takes the leading edge and pops right back to the left of Yusuf, who moves across to complete the catch. 60/30.1 and we have a wicket first ball. Guptill's run out. Played towards midwicket, Guptill wanted the single, there was a yes and a no, and the fielder did really well to throw it to the keeper off balance. KKR have the early breach and need to make it count. 0/18.6 this could be out. The third umpire is called in for a run out call. Out by six inches or so. Vincent plays this into the off side, and it is Tiwary in the covers - one of the best fielders in India. He sends back a sharp return as Vincent wanders out, and is forced to put in the dive in the end. The keeper manages to collect the throw, just over the bails, and disturb them in time. 60/29.3 Auckland are doing a KKR. They are gifting wickets away quite generously. Quiney closes the face early this time and scoops an innocuous full ball straight back at Yusuf. He takes the catch as he drops down on his knees, throws it up and puts his arms aloft as he roars in joy. 61/412.6 a cherry on top of Bhatia's spell of slow balls and slower balls. Hopkins flaps a full length ball on his toes uppishly, and Kallis at midwicket tumbles forward to scoop it in time. 77/518.1 and Munro goes first ball of the 19th! Backs away and looks to clatter a full ball headed to off stump. He misses, but Kallis doesn't. 100/6Extras3 (b 1, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL119/6 (20 Overs, RR: 5.95)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Martin Guptill, 0.1 ov), 2-60 (Lou Vincent, 8.6 ov), 3-60 (Jimmy Adams, 9.1 ov), 4-61 (Rob Quiney, 9.3 ov), 5-77 (Gareth Hopkins, 12.6 ov), 6-100 (Colin Munro, 18.1 ov)
