0.2 to TM Head, Second successive duck for Head. A length ball this time and once again shaping away slightly. Head played all around it and got bowled. A huge wicket for KKR early on. 0/1 4.5 to K Nitish Kumar Reddy, Starc has his second. A short ball outside off and Reddy goes for the pull, only to top-edge it. Gurbaz calls for it and settles under it behind the stumps. 39/3 4.6 to Shahbaz Ahmed, played on! The middle stump is out of the ground. SRH in absolute trouble at 39 for 4. It was a length ball outside off - looked like a cross-seam delivery - that Shahbaz tried to dab towards deep third but ended up deflecting it onto his stumps. 39/4 See all photos
Vaibhav Arora	2	0	17	1	8.50	5	1	0	2	1
1.5 to Abhishek Sharma, Russell doesn't make the mistake Narine did. Full outside off, Abhishek looks to go aerial but fails to middle it. Russell at cover leaps, gets both hands to the ball and plucks it. SRH in early trouble. 13/2 See all photos
Harshit Rana	4	0	27	1	6.75	9	2	1	1	0
14.4 to Abdul Samad, An offcutter, 114kph. Samad comes down the ground and looks to clear long-off. Doesn't get the required power behind it and Shreyas catches it carefully, just inside the boundary line. 125/8
Sunil Narine	4	0	40	1	10.00	7	2	3	0	0
13.3 to Sanvir Singh, and he is bowled first ball! A length ball around off that turns back sharply. Sanvir had no idea as he pushes at it and gets bowled through the gate. The middle stump is out of the ground. 121/7 See all photos
Andre Russell	1.3	0	15	1	10.00	2	2	0	0	0
19.3 to PJ Cummins, SRH are all out for 159. A length ball outside off. Cummins looks to smash it down the ground but gets a top edge. Gurbaz comes forward a couple of steps and pouches it. 159/10
Varun Chakravarthy	4	0	26	2	6.50	9	1	1	1	1
10.6 to H Klaasen, A huge, huge moment in the game. A length ball at the stumps. Klaasen looks to go for a six but doesn't get the timing right. Rinku from deep midwicket runs to his right and catches it just inside the boundary line. He had to be mindful of the deep square leg fielder who was sprinting to his left. 101/5 15.6 to B Kumar, another appeal for lbw and this time the impact in line of the stumps. The finger goes up but Bhuvi wants to review it. A length ball around off and spinning in to beat the inside edge as Bhuvi was looking to defend it on the front foot. The ball-tracking shows the impact was in front of the middle stump and it would have gone on to clip the leg bail - umpire's call there, which was out. SRH nine down. 126/9 See all photos

6.2 to SP Narine, Cummins gets him second time around, goes into the pitch and has Narine hole out to deep midwicket. 143ks on a shortish length and it came u to rib-height. 67/2 See all photos
T Natarajan	3	0	22	1	7.33	11	3	1	1	0
3.2 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Gurbaz holes out to cover and yells in frustration right away! He charged down, as he often has tonight, and tried to carve it on the up. But the ball spooned off the bottom of the bat and went straight towards Viyaskanth's chest. Gurbaz might have made a bit too much room too. SRH have an opening but is it already too late?. 44/1 See all photos
