Mustafa Moudi : "How are these 2 sides playing their 8th match already while GAW and BR have played just 4 matches each ?? Any reason for such a weird schedule??" After looking at the fixtures, it seems the teams that have played more matches have either already hosted their home leg or are currently in the middle of it. This is why teams like Guyana and Barbados have played fewer games; their home legs are still to come.

Rayen: "Ball stopping and turning with extra bounce. Shamsi and Roach should have bowled in tandem for atleast 2 more overs, to get one of these biggies in their early stages before they change gears. " I was expecting Shamsi to bowl another over or two, to be honest.

Bye bye.poo poo

Chase to Pooran, OUT
Massive appeal turned down! Seifert looks convinced and started to celebrate too, Wiese sends it upstairs straightaway.Seifert looks convinced and started to celebrate too. Wiese sends it upstairs straightaway. Short of a length ball pitching outside off, turning away and kept low on the track, Pooran moves onto the back foot and tries to open the face of the bat towards the mid-wicket area for a single, the ball looks close to the inside edge. Ultra Edge is coming up, a spike on the screen, and Nicky P has to depart!

Roston Chase to Pooran, out Caught by Seifert!! Is there an under-edge on that? Seifert was very confident and SLK have reviewed straightaway. Turn and some indifferent bounce from off, was flat enough for Pooran to go back on the flick, but has the ball caught an under-edge? There's a spike on the UltraEdge with the bat next to the ball - the original call will be overturned and the Knight Riders have lost their captain. Excellent call from Seifert, he was very confident and the replays vindicated him - looks like a two-paced dry pitch and the ball didn't bounce as much as Pooran expected, grazed the inside edge and Seifert was right behind the line as he completed the catch. They've taken the strategic break with the Knight Riders having lost half their side.

Shamsi to Russell, out Bowled!! He wasn't reading him once bit and Shamsi wheels away in celebration once again - this time it's the shoe celebration and the Knight Riders fight themselves in tatters. Was another wrong 'un, dipped and turned into the right-hander - Russell was nowhere near the ball as he swung blindly, the ball curves past the inside edge and crashes into the top of the middle-stump

Clean bowled!And here comes the shoe telephone from Shamsi. Looped up fuller length ball with a sharp turn inwards, Russell gets down on one knee and wild swing of the bat, misses the line and length and the bails are flying
