Mitchell Owen to Saif Badar, out Caught by Lockie Ferguson!! This is sliced, taken at cover. Saif Badar looks away in disbelief. How did I mistime that full toss, he asks himself! Round the wicket for this ball from Mitchell Owen. Again missed the yorker, but this time got lucky. Saif Badar wanted to smash it towards long-on, bat turned in his hands and the ball went to deep cover for a simple catch. Saif Badar c Lockie Ferguson b Mitchell Owen 8(4) [6s-1]

Mitchell Owen to Saif Badar, SIX, to deep mid-wicket, that is good, very good from Saif Badar. Into the 160s now. Mitchell Owen tried the yorker, missed his slot and Saif cleared the front leg away for a mighty heave out mid-wicket

Saurabh Netravalkar to J Hamilton, out Caught by Mitchell Owen!! This is high as well, taken at long-on. Fullish from Saurabh Netravalkar, Hamilton wanted to launch down the ground, mistimed it completely and holed out. The Knight Riders somehow need to get to 180 but they only have two wickets left now. J Hamilton c Mitchell Owen b Saurabh Netravalkar 10(10) [4s-1]

Ben Dwarshuis to Jason Holder, out Caught&Bowled!! Hang on, how did Ben Dwarshuis hold on to it? He wasn't even trying to catch the ball. How unlucky for Jason Holder that he smashed it straight at the bowler, the bowler had no time to get into position for the catch. In fact Dwarshuis was only trying to take evasive action to avoid injury. He had both his hands up as a shield to stop the ball from smashing him flush on the body. The ball escaped both hands, smashed him around left should and stayed close enough for Dwarshuis to grab the rebound. The bowler was almost side on when he completed the catch in the act of self preservation. Dwarshuis holds his right shoulder and lets out a sheepish smile. He couldn't believe it himself. Holder drags himself off unwillingly. Jason Holder c and b Ben Dwarshuis 8(11) [4s-1]

Ben Dwarshuis to J Hamilton, 2 runs, fullish delivery outside off stump, Hamilton cuts past backward point for a couple of runs

Saurabh Netravalkar to J Hamilton, FOUR, this is up in the air but it manages to clear short third. Fielder gives chase and goes for a legs-first dive and the ball escapes. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Hamilton looks to slash, gets a thick edge and gets away with it

Lockie Ferguson to Jason Holder, FOUR, guided late and so fine past the keeper. Fullish and outside off stump, didn't rise much, hint of away movement there. Holder was camping back to guide it to third man but it took the bottom of the bat and rolled to the third man fence

Ben Dwarshuis to Rovman Powell, out Lbw!! The Knight Riders lose a review and continue to lose wickets at regular intervals, this one was full and angling in from round the wicket, Powell plays down the wrong line and is rapped on the knee roll, the umpire raised the finger immediately, the ball tracking shows it was hitting the middle and leg stump. Rovman Powell lbw b Ben Dwarshuis 4(6)

Ben Dwarshuis to Matthew Tromp, out Caught by Lockie Ferguson at !! He's holed out in the deep, nice little cameo comes to an end, it was the off-cutter, Tromp did pick it early, but went through with the lofted clip towards deep midwicket, didn't get enough distance and picks Lockie in the deep, who takes a sharp catch just inches inside the ropes.

Sunil Narine b Rachin Ravindra 0(2)

Rachin Ravindra to Munro, out Caught by Mitchell Owen!!
