Player Of The Match
  • 19.6

    OUT! Caught. Ankit Rajpoot to Mohammad Nabi. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, by Agarwal. A well deserved five wicket haul for Ankit Rajpoot. Best figures of this IPL so far. Nabi looks to launch it out the park, gets the length he was after, but cannot execute. Miscued down to long off to finish off a struggling innings for the Sunrisers.

    Marvellous bowling display from Kings XI, but we all know that the Sunrisers can produce an equally impressive performance with the ball. They have defended totals smaller than this, so it's still anyone's game at the halfway point.

  • 19.5

    FOUR! Ankit Rajpoot to Mohammad Nabi. Back of a length, wide outside off stump on the back foot cutting, well timed in the air under control past third man for 4 runs. That's a poor delivery. Extremely wide, and Nabi just throws the hands at it. Thrashed over gully's head for a one bounce four.

  • 19.4

    OUT! Bowled. Ankit Rajpoot to Manish Pandey. Yorker, middle stump no foot movement driving, missed to. Hit that. Cracking delivery from Rajpoot. A fourth for him. An unplayable yorker that tails back into Pandey. He tries to squeeze it out, but it sneaks underneath the bat to uproot the middle stump.

  • 19.2

    Ankit Rajpoot to Yusuf Pathan. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot driving, outside edge to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Rahul.

  • 19.1

  • 18.5

    FOUR! Andrew Tye to Yusuf Pathan. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot glancing, well timed past fine leg for 4 runs. Poor delivery with fine leg up in the ring. Strayed down the legside, and tickled away neatly for four.

  • 18.2

    FOUR! Andrew Tye to Manish Pandey. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Fifty for Pandey, and brought up in style too. Has to reach out for this delivery, but justuses his hands to loft it over the covers for four.

    SIX! Ravichandran Ashwin to Yusuf Pathan. Carrom length ball, middle stump moves in front Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs, dropped catch by Tiwary. Another drop! This one is even more costly, as he parries it over the rope. Hacked across the line, a tough chance for Tiwary, but at this level, you would expect better.

    Andrew Tye to Manish Pandey. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket for 1 run, dropped catch by Agarwal. That was another simple one put down. Pandey attempts to hit it into orbit, but the ball comes off the bottom end of the bat. Deep mid wicket settles himself, but straight through the hands and lands safely. Opportunity missed!

    SIX! Ravichandran Ashwin to Manish Pandey. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Pandey gets all of it this time. First maximum of the evening! A big heave across the line, but he goes with the turn, and nails it. Clears the rope by a distance.

  • 19.2
    Ankit Rajpoot b Basil Thampi 8 (9)

    OUT! Bowled. Basil Thampi to Ankit Rajpoot. Length ball, outside off stump moves in front Scoop, Play and Miss (Leg Side) to. Sunrisers pull off a magnificent defence yet again! Rajpoot steps across to ramp it down to fine leg, but exposes his stumps, and they get clattered into once he cannot make a connection.

    A low scoring thriller, which are often sometimes a better viewing than the bigger totals. An incredible performance from all the bowlers today. The batsmen will be questioning a few of their shots, though. Kings XI will be disappointed to not get across the line, but take nothing away from the Sunrisers. That means there are three teams tied at the top of the table! What a tournament this is shaping up to be.

  • 19.1

    Basil Thampi to Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Length ball, to leg backing away Slog, hit pad to short third man for 1 run, fielded by Pathan.

  • 18.5

    FOUR! Siddarth Kaul to Ankit Rajpoot. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, inside edge past fine leg for 4 runs. That is the luck they needed! A wild, ugly swing of the bat, and it scoots away off the inside edge past short fine leg. The tension ramps up again!

  • 17.6

    FOUR! Rashid Khan to Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, well timed in the air under control past third man for 4 runs. Magical from Mujeeb! A reverse scoop over short third man's head this time. The execution is amazing. Surely Kings XI can't do this?

  • 17.5

    FOUR! Rashid Khan to Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Leg spinner length ball, off stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, well timed past deep backward point for 4 runs. Remarkable shot from Mujeeb.

    OUT! Caught. Rashid Khan to Ravichandran Ashwin. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump backing away driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to extra cover, by Williamson. Game over now. Ashwin the last hope for Kings XI, and he succumbs to the brilliance of Rashid Khan. Jumps outside leg, tries to go up and over cover, but toe-ends it into the hands of KW.

  • 17.1

    Rashid Khan to Ankit Rajpoot. Googly length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Al Hasan.

  • 16.5
    Barinder Sran Run Out Wriddhiman Saha 2 (5)

    OUT! Run Out. Siddarth Kaul to Barinder Sran. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, bottom edge to second slip, direct hit by Saha. Top quality work from Saha. Scrambles across and dives to stop the ball, that causes hesistation in the running, and Sran ends up stopping in the middle of the pitch. The Indian wicketkeeper then composes himself before throwing down the stumps at the striker's end. Not in the picture. Sunrisers are storming to victory.

    Andrew Tye lbw b Sandeep Sharma 4 (2)

    OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Sandeep Sharma to Andrew Tye. Slower length ball, off stump on the front foot flick, hit pad to. Tye goes this time though! Knuckle ball from Sandeep, which isn't spotted by the Australian. Looks to whip it through the legside, but cannot get any bat on it. Straight enough for the umpire to raise the finger, and HawkEye backs that up after the review is taken. Wickets tumbling!

  • 15.4

    FOUR! Sandeep Sharma to Andrew Tye. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled past long on for 4 runs. Tye goes big first up, and gets away with it! Shakib doesn't seem to have picked it up straight away, and is late in moving towards the ball. He ends up diving backwards at long on, and the ball bounces over his head, but inside the rope.

  • 15.3
    Manoj Tiwary c Kane Williamson b Sandeep Sharma 1 (5)

    OUT! Caught. Sandeep Sharma to Manoj Tiwary. Slower ball half volley, off stump on the front foot flick, mis-timed to mid wicket, by Williamson. Kings XI are crumbling! Tiwary doesn't pick the slower one, is through the shot too early, and gently clips it into the hands of Williamson at mid wicket. Soft dismissal, and all of a sudden, the Sunrisers are on top.

    Aaron Finch c Manish Pandey b Shakib Al Hasan 8 (4)

    OUT! Caught. Shakib Al Hasan to Aaron Finch. Stock ball half volley, off stump backing away driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Pandey. Finch goes for the same shot again, but the connection is not as good. Chaos out in the middle. The Kings XI batsmen are panicking. The Aussie is down on one knee, looking to clear the long on boundary, but Pandey clings on just before the rope.
