Harshal Patel to Venkatesh Iyer, SIX, there's no stopping him! Slower length ball wide of off, Iyer reaches out and flat-bats it over long-on. How well is he timing it!

19.2
Harshal Patel to Venkatesh Iyer, FOUR, high full toss well wide of off, Iyer reaches out and carves it over short third. He has taken a review for a no-ball as well. Wants to check if it's above the waist but ball-tracking confirms that it's not. Fair delivery!

Vaibhav Arora to Head, FOUR, nicely played, Head is off and running straightaway, fraction overpitched and just outside off, he leans forward and then drives it straight of mid-off, was in the air and well wide of the fielder

Vaibhav Arora to Head, out Caught by Harshit Rana!! Vaibhav has his man and he's mobbed by his teammates - tad fuller and shaping away from outside off, Head saw the length and went with hard hands on the drive, but it's that late movement that undoes him, he's sliced it off the toe-end, high and over mid-off. Harshit back-peddalled, kept his eyes on the ball and completes a fine catch, even as he was tumbling backwards. Just the start KKR needed in the defence of 200.

Head c Harshit Rana b Vaibhav Arora 4(2) [4s-1]

2.1
Vaibhav Arora to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Rahane!! Another one! And that's a stunning catch from the skipper. The hosts are all over SRH like a rash. A fuller delivery from Vaibhav Arora, angling across the batter. Kishan drives it uppishly to covers and Rahane springs to his left to take a superb catch

Ishan Kishan c Rahane b Vaibhav Arora 2(5)

2.6
Vaibhav Arora to Kamindu Mendis, no run, dropped! SRH could have late more than a quarter of their side before the third over there! A full delivery at the stumps, Kamindu chips it to the left and slightly over mid-on. Russell covers the ground and gets behind the ball to attempt a reverse cup catch but he lets it slip. A regulation chance put down

9.3
Narine to Kamindu Mendis, out Caught by (sub)Anukul Roy!! Catching practice at deep mid-wicket and SRH have lost half their side now - was the off-break from Narine and he dropped the length back, Kamindu saw the chance of scoring runs, but his pull was rather half-hearted, there wasn't any power or purpose behind the shot, simply lobbed it into deep mid-wicket's hands where Anukul completed a simple catch.
