Over 18: 13 from R Ashwin. 144/4
Over 17: 13 from M Ashwin. 131/4
16.2 M Ashwin to Miller, OUT
That’s the third wicket for M Ashwin, he’s got Miller too! He tossed it up on middle stump, Miller made room early and went for the big shot down the ground, but he didn’t middle it. KP came under it easily at long-off
Over 16: 6 off Perera. 118/3
Over 15: 9 off the over and two wickets. 112/3
14.6 M Ashwin to Vijay, OUT
Oh, he’s gone, caught behind! Short, flat and turning away, Vijay cuts and gets an edge and Dhoni takes the catch with both gloves! Do Kings XI have something to worry about here?
14.1 M Ashwin to Marsh, OUT
That’s rattled his stumps! It was short, straight and flat on the stumps, Marsh made more room than was required to work it to the off side and missed the ball completely
Over 14: 3 from R Ashwin. 103/1
Over 13: 4 from Ankit and the much-needed wicket. 100/1
12.2 Ankit Sharma to Vohra, OUT
That’s an unnecessary sweep from Vohra for a straight delivery, it pitched right in front and he played across the line. Finger went up immediately

Over 11: 15 from Perera’s first over. 86/0

Over 20: Pune manage just three off the last over as three wickets fall. Du Plessis chief architect of Pune’s batting but it appears to be a below-par score.
19.2 Sharma to Dhoni, OUT
For so long the crowd had been waiting for Dhoni to get strike, so many comments had been poring in that Dhoni will do it in the slog overs and he slams a full toss straight to long-on!
19.1 Sharma to du Plessis, OUT
Slower ball does it as he removes Faf with a return catch. Back of the hand slower ball around leg stump, it wasn’t full for Faf to slog and he top-edged it very high for Mohit to get under it on the leg side. Good start to the over from Mohit
Over 19: 9 from Abbott. 149/4
Over 18: 9 from Mohit Sharma. 140/4
17.5 Sharma to Smith, OUT
Slower ball, Smith lofts it high and he’s gone! It was back of length legcutter around leg, Smith waited for it lofted it high on the off side and Miller got under it rather easily while coming in from the deep
Over 17: 15 from Abbott. 131/3
Over 16: 7 from Sahu. 116/3
Over 15: 8 conceded by Patel. 109/3
Over 14: 9 off Sahu. 101/3

Over 11: 6 from Sandeep and the wicket of Perera. 82/3
10.1 Sandeep Sharma to Perera, OUT
Strikes first ball, Perera holes out to long-off! It wasn’t a great delivery - short and wide and going away further with the angle - Perera threw his bat at it and found long-off
Over 10: Just 3 from Maxwell’s first over. 76/2
Over 9: 8 conceded by Sharma as a strategic timeout is called. 73/2
Over 8: 12 from Abbott, but KP departs. 65/2
7.6 Abbott to Pietersen, OUT
Whattacatch, KP is gone! Full on the pads, KP flicks and Manan Vohra times his jump very well at midwicket to grab it with both hands over his head. That was going at a pretty good speed. They check for the no ball and it’s fine
Over 7: 4 conceded by Mohit Sharma. 53/1
Over 6: 11 off Sahu as well. 49/1
Over 5: 11 conceded by Sharma. 38/1
Over 4: 14 off Axar. 27/1
Over 3: 3 from the over and the wicket of Rahane. 13/1
2.1 Sandeep Sharma to Rahane, OUT
Off the inside edge and onto the stumps! Rahane walked across toward the off side a little bit and the ball probably nipped in just a bit, Rahane went for an uncharacteristic slog and only got an edge
Over 2: 6 conceded by Abbott. 10/0
Over 1: Four from Sandeep Sharma’s first over. Rising Pune 4/0
