- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.6 he wears a giant smile on his face as Levi looks stunned! How did that stick! This was a long hop. It was waiting to be fished from the crowd, but the batsman has smashed it back down the ground. Maxi's legs and torso were moving away from the strike, but he pushed his hands out and caught it! And acted completely nonchalantly. 105/36.3 Mohali are up and the Kings XI song blares out as Amla holes out at long-off! He was on a roll, especially through the off side. But this time Karanveer's slower pace and loop made him reach out a little too much, even if he had danced down the track. That affected his timing. Got too much height on it and Miller holds it easily 60/19.4 he's succumbed to his own momentum again! He was on a spree against Tridents as well until he couldn't stop himself. Targets a fuller ball for more than it deserves and his loft is mistimed, carries only as far as mid-off 84/216.3 back over the wicket, no change in plan though. Searing yorker on middle sends back van Zyl! Has to go for 13 from 17. Couldn't do much about that though as Anureet shows off his skills at hitting the target again 124/614.3 one hit too much from Vilas! The length was dragged short and Vilas going for a pull means he has to drag it from outside off. There is bad clunk off the bat as the ball lobs up into the air,and lands safely in the hands of long-on. They're fumbling away the foundation they've set here 117/415.4 timbeerrrrr! Reverse sweep peeped out a little too soon! Allowed Akshar that extra microsecond as he lunged his front leg across and shaped for the shot. Akshar pushed the ball quicker and fuller on leg stump to sneak under his swing and hit his target 122/517 was that a plan?! Whatever it was, it's worked. Saha, you beauty! This was fired down the leg side from Akshar, Kemp in the mode for quick runs was always looking to come forward, this time he was falling over as he tried to flick. Isn't able to and the wicketkeeper nips to his right quick enough and whips off the bails. And that was by no means tossed up, Saha had to motor across 131/717.2 pushed down leg again and Saha's gone for an appeal! It's not been called a wide, because it's hit the thigh pad. Philander's was overbalancing as well. The back foot came out of the crease, he isn't able to get his front foot back in. It was up in the air and at the exact time the wicketkeeper has flicked the bails off. This is so a plan! 132/818.3 settle down, settle down says Billy. This was into the blockhole as well from Anureet, the batsman backed away and looked to slice it towards third man. Seems to have edged it to the keeper, off the back of the bat. Saha's been brilliant tonight as he dives low to his left. But did it bounce? The umpires get together, have a looooong chat and they go up for the third umpire. This is cleanly held. Kings XI have routed Cobras after a flying start! 135/1018.2 banged in short from around the wicket, Rory goes for a pull but only top edges it. Vohra runs in from deep fine leg and holds a pretty good catch.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.1 loads of loop, and he drew the batsman to reach out as well. Sehwag is caught in the trap as he goes for a big hit and ends up offering an outside edge into the hands of point. Lovely dismissal 74/25.2 drops it short and Vohra has.... found deep midwicket! He had set himself up into a solid base, both feet apart and a baseball swing poised. But the timing was not there. Holes out on the boundary 41/113.6 "Yes" is the roar! Maxi goes for the wrong shot after exposing his stumps. This was slower, tossed up on off stump. He stepped away from it and goes for a cut, should've preferred a drive really. Engel strikes! 108/3Extras12 (lb 5, w 7)TOTAL139/3 (18.1 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Manan Vohra, 5.2 ov), 2-74 (Virender Sehwag, 9.1 ov), 3-108 (Glenn Maxwell, 13.6 ov)
