Chris Gayle continued his menacing form, smashing a 63-ball 99 to steer Punjab to 185 for 4 after being put in to bat. Gayle, who had four boundaries and eight sixes in his explosive innings, was out just two balls before the end of the innings for 99 but not before he had struck his 1000th six in T20 cricket. (ipl)

Stokes was in magnificent form during his half-century as he got the boundaries with ease. He reached his fifty off 24 balls when he hoisted Chris Jordan for a six in the sixth over. But Jordan got his revenge by removing Stokes two balls later. (ipl)
