Prasidh Krishna to Andre Russell
Swing and a miss! Hard length, at 144.1 kph, nipping back into the batter from off, Andre Russell swings for the seas, but misses to connect by a long, long way. The ball flirts past the inside edge and goes back to the keeper.

Prasidh Krishna to Andre Russell
FOUR! Didn't quite time it well, but the sheer muscle power of Andre Russell forces the ball to race away! Hard length, on top of the stumps, Andre Russell heaves across, but off the inner half of the batter, through mid-wicket. The long on fielder runs along the circumference of the boundary, to his right, dives in, but fails to stop the ball. It just races quickly through those practice pitches.

Rashid Khan to Andre Russell
Absolute jaffa! A deceptive wrong'un, on a length, turning back in a long way, on leg. Andre Russell is flummoxed by the turn and gets beaten past the inside edge.

Rashid Khan to Andre Russell
Swing and a miss again! Just around off, another googly, on a fuller length, Andre Russell sits on his knee to slog it aerially, but misses to connect. Jos Buttler collects the ball and breaks the stumps in the twinkle of an eye.

Rashid Khan to Andre Russell
OUT! STUMPED! Smart, smart bowling this from Rashid! And KKR's hopes are drowning as the strong Caribbean makes his way to the pavilion. Rashid Khan dishes out another googly, and lands it outside the leg stump line, giving no real space for Andre Russell to work with. Russell tries to stay leg side of the ball, as he shimmies down the track, falling prey to wrong'un. Swings with all his might to park it somewhere in the stands, but just doesn't get any wood on it. Jos Buttler with a slick glove work behind the stumps. He whips the bails off, with Dre Russ out by a country mile. He departs on 21 (15) and KKR are 118/5.

Rashid Khan to Ramandeep Singh
A slip in place now for Rashid. A googly, on a length, spinning sharply into the leg side, Ramandeep Singh hangs back and nudges it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Prasidh Krishna to Ramandeep Singh
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Done with absolute calmness. Prasidh Krishna bowls it on a fractionally fuller length, keeping the line of attack on the stumps. Ramandeep Singh clears the front leg and attempts to smash it straight down the ground, but just doesn't manage to keep it along the ground. Hits off the toe-end of the bat, and it travels parallel to the ground. Prasidh Krishna takes a sharp return catch around his right thigh. Ramandeep Singh cannot quite believe it.

Prasidh Krishna to Moeen Ali

Prasidh Krishna to Moeen Ali
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! CAUGHT! Prasidh Krishna gets the second and he keeps increasing the wickets column. A slower one from Prasidh pitching around off. Moeen Ali is months early to swing through the line as he looks to dispatch the ball over long on. Ends up mistiming it over mid on. Shahrukh Khan comes running in and judges it well, and takes a fine catch.

Prasidh Krishna to Rinku Singh
Short and around the leg stump line, lifting off the deck. Rinku Singh looks to pull it away, but misses. Jos Buttler grabs it high behind the stumps. Rinku has challenged the on-field decision of wide not given. The front-on side vision comes up first. The third umpire checks the batter's position at the point of the ball's release. Rinku's initial trigger movement shows that he got deep in the crease first. And the umpire calls it a fair delivery.

Rashid Khan to Rinku Singh
CAUGHT, BUT SIX! Shahrukh Khan is just behind the boundary cushion with the ball in hand. Landed fuller, on middle and leg, spinning in a shy bit. Rinku Singh clears the front leg and slogs it aerially to long on. Shahrukh Khan misjudges the position of the boundary ropes and leaps in the air. Catches the ball, but oversteps beyond the boundary line with the ball in hand. So, it will be a six.

OUT! HIGH UP IN THE AIR, TAKEN! A wicket for GT's impact sub, Ishant Sharma then! Ishant hits the deck hard, keeping the line around off, Rinku Singh attempts to pull over deep mid-wicket, but the ball certainly gets big on him. He ends up skewing it off the outside half of the bat. It swirls high in the night sky, over mid off. Shubman Gill from cover, runs to his left and takes a fine running catch.
