Chahal to Brathwaite, no run, huge, huge appeal from Chahal and the whole of Bangalore. Brathwaite is pinned to the crease to a flat zooter. That has to be close. That is gone in fact. He was right back in the crease, played across the line and the ball skidded on to hit the back pad in front of off. Loud boos across Chinnaswamy

14.5
Chahal to Brathwaite, out Bowled!! Chahal's got him the very next ball and he is absolutely pumped. This is serious drama in Bangalore. A beautifully flighted leg-break which drifts in on leg, the ball dips on Brathwaite, lands away from him as he slogs and sneaks under him.

Brathwaite b Chahal 1(5)

Kolkata Knight Riders 178/7
19.6
McClenaghan to Narine, OUT, ....anti-climax. Yorker at off stump from around the wicket, gets him on the toe in front of off stump and the umpire raises his finger. Even though replays showed he got a big bottom edge on that.

SP Narine lbw b McClenaghan 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

 
Narper 2017-04-09 13:24:26 

9.5
Narine to Sharma, OUT, a lot of legbreaks this over, and Narine has foxed Rohit with the offbreak. Goes on the back foot and it hurries into him. Big lbw appeal as he plays all around it, given immediately, but CK Nandan shouldn't have. Huge inside-edge on that - two poor lbw decisions in successive overs.

RG Sharma lbw b Narine 2 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

 
Narper 2017-04-09 13:36:15

Rajpoot to Pollard, SIX, short outside off, and Pollard will feast on these chest-high offerings. Swivels and pulls hard and flat over the midwicket boundary. Super shot. Short balls need to get up around shoulder or head high to test Pollard

Sunil Narine is the Man of the Match: It came off today. Sometimes it does not, but today it did. I opened there (BBL) and they (team management) wanted to try. It (the wicket) is completely different. Just need to do the basics right, keep it wicket-to-wicket and not give the batsmen any space.

Jadeja to Gayle, SIX, Jadeja gets his man. But, this wicket should belong to McCullum. Hang on! It was a low full toss outside off. Gayle stays in his crease and doesn't get hold of his lofted drive over extra cover. B-Mac at long-off runs to his right and takes a flying catch. The Lions are confident. The umpires want to go upstairs. Soft signal is Out. Oh wait, did his floppy hat make contact with the rope? Oh, yeah. What a shame! Baz's brim of the hat saves Chris Gayle. The southpaw has a big smile on his face as he comes back. He gets six runs as well. Even, Kohli came and shook hands with the SUPERMAN to applaud his effort

Chris Gayle: "It was great fun. Good to be back. I wanted this so badly. 10000 runs was on my mind. Badree told me before the match that I am three runs short. It's a privilege to actually be the first to score 10,000 T20 runs. Pleased to get 77 runs. Hopefully we can finish off with a win tonight. It (10,000 runs milestone) was actually playing on my mind a bit but once I got there, I thought it's time to have a go and it eventually paid off. I have a great bat, the Spartan bat. Virat batted well. Great partnership between Jadhav and Head. Hopefully the bowlers can utilize the wicket; variation is key on this wicket. The bat I got to 10000 runs with be in the auction and the money will go to charity. I wanted to use a gold bat tonight (laughs). Look for the Chris Gayle foundation... (he goes on to add that a special gold bat will go to the auctions, too). (Hitting sixes) is not really premeditated; comes naturally to me. Want to thank all the franchises and West Indies. I want to keep entertaining and get a few more thousand runs."

Looks like Gayle always gets replaced (or displaced) by an Aussie. Non-performing ones too.

When it's not Watson, it's Head.

1.6 Unadkat to Head, OUT, inside edge? No, bowled, in fact. It seems as though the ball has missed everything initially. There is a noise as the ball goes to the keeper who catches it. They go up in appeal and it turns out the bail had been dislodged. Just the bail, the stumps aren't really dislodged, so not immediately visible to the naked eye. Head perishes for trying to play an ill-advised cross-batted shot. through the leg side. It was too full to do it and angling in to him as well

Irfan Pathan to Malinga, out Krunal Pandya Run Out!! That was a yorker, tailed back in, hit the boot and lobbed away to point. Jadeja roared in, missiled in the throw and found the dive from Krunal Pandya short. A full length pool dive also doesn't do it. The third umpire saw one reply to give his verdict. Fourth direct hit. All southpaws. They have fielded a lifeline for themselves

One bowler.

Narper 2017-04-29 14:16:29 

Ball 2: Faulkner to Pollard, FOUR that's in the slot again from Faulkner, tried the slower ball

Ball 1: Faulkner to Buttler, 1 run, length ball, change of pace, Buttler mistimes the slap to sweeper cover. The bowler bowled that from round the wicket

Ball 1: Bumrah to Finch, no ball
Can you believe it, Bumrahg bowled two no-balls during the match, he's started with one now. Excellent yorker, followed Finch as he backed away on the drive, but he has overstepped

 
Narper 2017-04-29 14:28:04 

Ball 1, 1 leg bye: Nicely bowled by Bumtrah, full and omn Finc's pads, he was shuffling across on the lap sweep and missed, sneaks in a leg bye

 
Narper 2017-04-29 14:28:56 

Ball 2, wide: This is a wide, shocking start from Bumrah, attempts tye slower ball and pushes it miles outside off

 
Narper 2017-04-29 14:30:05 

Ball 3, 1 bye: This is excellent bopwling from Bumrah, slips in another slower delivery, McCullum was miles early into the slog and missed, they sneak in a bye

Ball 2, dot ball: Excellent ball from Bumrah, slower delivery outside off, McCullum made room for the slap and missed

 
Narper 2017-04-29 14:31:04 

Ball 4, dot ball: Bumrah to Finch, another peach from Bumrah, slower delivery outside off, Finch made room for the swing and missed, the keeper fails to stop it cleanly and allows a bye

 
Narper 2017-04-29 14:32:05 

Ball 5, 1 run: Bumrah to Finch, high full toss from Bumrah, it's not called as a no-ball though, McCullum swung hard and mistimed it towards cover-point, just a single

 
Narper 2017-04-29 14:33:12 

Ball, 1 run: Bumrah to McCullum: Bumrah has won it for the Mumbai Indians, kept his cool - despite a no-ball and a wide, this was full and wide of off, driven hard and straight to long-off, just a single

 
Narper 2017-04-29 14:34:14 

GL 153/9 (20.0 Ovs)

MI 153-all out (20.0 Ovs) CRR: 7.65

Match tied (Super Over in progress)

( Mumbai Indians won the one-over eliminator)

 
Narper 2017-04-29 14:39:16 

Mumbai Indians were coasting along, suddenly lost plot and nearly the game, then just about recovered to push the match into the super-over.

Pollard threatened to take the match away from the Lions' grasp, Faulkner pulled back with two strikes. 12 was the target and the big hitting GL batsmen might have fancied their chances.

But Bumrah had other ideas, he started with a no-ball, then followed it up with a wide - but kept his cool and delivered for his team - with a mix of yorkers, slower ones and full tosses. In the end, Mumbai just about held their nerve and emerged victorious - with this win, they move to 14 points, just behind KKR on net run-rate.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Sunil Narine


Narine: Yes I'm very surprised. Definitely wasn't expecting something like this. Lynny just said, keep your eyes on the ball, maintain your focus and swing through the line. I try to keep it simple and back my ability. That wicket was key (AB de Villiers) and pulled them back a bit so I'm happy. It was a total team effort. Bowlers stuck to their plans. Umesh's was a key performance too.

Gambhir: Haven't seen such a partnership to be honest. It was an unbelievable effort. This is the best partnership I've seen in my entire career. You don't see teams getting hundred in six overs. He (Lynn) must be the hardest hitter in international cricket. The way he played today after coming from injury shows how mentally strong he is. It was the team management's call (to get Narine opening). It was some of the best hitting I've seen.

Vishaal, as Paul the Octopus adds, "Matt Henry, unless there's someone else who looks like him in the KXIP line-up, also marking his run up. Sammy so far has only been chatting with Bravo and hasn't participated in the warm up. So I'm guessing the four foreigners are Maxwell, Marsh, Guptill and Henry."

19.6 MM Sharma to Pollard, 1 run, another cracking yorker that tails in late to take thick inside edge to fine leg. Fifty for Pollard, but not good enough
19.5 MM Sharma to Pollard, no run, sensational. A knuckle ball that dips on Pollard as he looks to swing this over the off side, the ball dipped on him to beat him. Stunning execution under pressure
19.4 MM Sharma to Pollard, no run, brilliant! Low, dipping yorker which Pollard can't get underneath. Dug back to Mohit on his followthrough
19.3 MM Sharma to Pollard, no run, low full toss, swung away to long-off. Missed the yorker but found the fielder on the bounce. Pollard refuses the run

Well, he refused to run on the 3rd ball of the over, only to take dots on the next 2.

Afterall, his batting partner was Harbhajan Singh, not a chicken.

CricInfo:

11.6 Thakur to Samuels, SIX, That top edge seems to have got Samuels going. This is a length ball outside off, he clears his front leg and clobbers it towards the sightscreen. Unmitigated swing of the bat. Don't count out Samuels

11.5 Thakur to Samuels, SIX, The top-edge clears long leg and lands on the Delhi dugout. Banged in short and outside off, chest-high ball, Samuels hooks late and gets away

11.4 Thakur to Samuels, 2 runs, banged short and outside off, mis-times a pull to the left of deep midwicket

11.3 Thakur to Samuels, 2 runs, short and very wide outside off, Samuels reaches out with his hands and stabs it away to the right of sweeper

The rain, buffeted by it, is falling almost horizontally. Looks like the kind of weather that makes you double-bolt the door and hide. The good news though is that we can wait until 1.20 am to complete this game. KKR's target, if it is reduced to a five-over chase, is 41.

 
Narper 2017-05-17 12:58:36 

Okay, the revised cut-off timings are:
20-over chase: 11:50pm
5-over chase: 00:58am
Super Over: 1:20am

 
Discourse 2017-05-17 14:32:54 

Update:

12.00 am So we're past our first deadline of the night. The chase will definitely be curtailed. We can hang on to our seats until 12.58 am for a five-over game - for which KKR's target will be 41 - and wait on until 1.20 am for a Super Over. If absolutely no cricket is possible despite all that, Sunrisers win since they finished higher on the points table.

 
Narper 2017-05-17 15:14:08 

The target for KKR to win is 48 in 6 overs.
There will be two overs of Powerplay as well.
That would mean only one bowler will be allowed to bowl a maximum of two overs.

Karn Sharma to Narine, out Stumped!! Hoodwinked by the wrong 'un. No heroics from Narine then, who stormed to IPL's fastest fifty at this very ground in the league stage. Shimmies out ambitiously but Karn Sharma's bowling in the powerplay for a reason. Sees him doing that, bowls a tossed-up googly and gets him stumped. Easy take for the keeper and a disparaging flick of the bails.
