Xavier Bartlett to Ajinkya Rahane, Fuller and on the pads, Rahane flicks it to mid-wicket.
Xavier Bartlett to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Errors in plenty! Length on middle and off, Raghuvanshi eases it calmly to mid off. Shreyas fires a throw at the bowler's end, but misses, and the backing up is nowhere near good enough. Jansen slides to stop it, but only succeeds in parrying it past fine leg. Four completely free runs, and KKR won't mind that.Â
Xavier Bartlett to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Shapes away from middle, full at 131.4 kph, Angkrish Raghuvanshi presses forward and taps it to the bowler.
Xavier Bartlett to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Nice and full, on off, Angkrish Raghuvanshi drives it crisply but straight back to the bowler.

Arshdeep Singh to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Back of a length, shaping in on leg, this is tucked to deep backward square leg for a single.
Arshdeep Singh to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Much fuller, in the corridor of uncertainty, around off. Angkrish Raghuvanshi presses forward and opts to leave.
Arshdeep Singh to Ajinkya Rahane, On top of off, on a length. Ajinkya Rahane dabs it in front of point for a run.
Arshdeep Singh to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Touch full and shaping in a bit, on middle. Angkrish Raghuvanshi tucks it across to the square leg region for a single to get off the mark.
Arshdeep Singh to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Beauty! Nips away from a fuller length, outside off. Angkrish Raghuvanshi feels for it but withdraws his bat inside the line to leave.
Arshdeep Singh to Ajinkya Rahane, Back of a length, outside off, Rahane waits back and runs it through point for a single.
Double-wicket over from Xavier Bartlett, and PBKS are all over KKR here.
Xavier Bartlett to Cameron Green, ! EDGED AND GONE! Xavier Bartlett with the double whammy.
Finn Allen falls in the Powerplay once again. Cameron Green walks out to bat at number 3.
Xavier Bartlett to Cameron Green, ! It's all edgy right now!
Xavier Bartlett to Finn Allen, ! EDGED AND TAKEN! Bartlett gets the reward for his consistency in this over. KKR are 12/1 as the dangerous Allen departs.
Xavier Bartlett to Finn Allen, Swing and a miss! Banana swing on this one. Allen plants his front foot and goes expansively through the off side, but the ball shapes away late and beats the outside edge.
Xavier Bartlett to Finn Allen, Oh, absolute chaos out in the middle!
Xavier Bartlett to Finn Allen, Nearly found the edge! Begins with a beautiful outswing, full and outside off. Allen tries to crash it over the bowler's head, but gets beaten all ends up. Lovely bounce on this as well.
A decent start for KKR, but there is some swing available for the pacers. Xavier Bartlett will share the new ball.
Arshdeep Singh to Finn Allen, A bit too full, around off, Allen carves it out from the toe end, to the cover region, for a single. 12 runs from the first over.
Arshdeep Singh to Finn Allen, ! Off the edge. Hands on head for Arshdeep! Sharp inswing onto the pads. Finn Allen tries to flick the full toss but nutmegs himself and the ball shoots behind off the inside edge to deep fine leg for four lucky runs.
Arshdeep Singh to Ajinkya Rahane, On the fourth stump, fullish in length, Rahane steers it through point for a single.
Arshdeep Singh to Ajinkya Rahane, ! Edgy, but deliberately played! Full and across off, Ajinkya Rahane opens the bat face at the point of contact, and guides it precisely between the first slip and short third for a boundary.
Arshdeep Singh to Finn Allen, Back of a length, at 128.8 kph, around off, this time the line is a bit straightish. Finn Allen punches it from the crease, wide of mid off for a single to get his first run.
Arshdeep Singh to Ajinkya Rahane, A slight appeal for LBW, but not given! Arshdeep swings back in from middle to leg, on a fuller length. Ajinkya Rahane flicks through backward square leg. Nehal Wadhera from deep square leg rushes across and cuts it off. Single to get off the mark for the KKR captain.
