Navdeep Saini To Nicholas Pooran
Well bowled! Deceives the batter by a slower bouncer, on off. Pooran is months early into the pull shot and is beaten all ends up.

Navdeep Saini To Nicholas Pooran
Off-pace delivery, on a length, on off. Pooran dabs it in front of backward point and tries to pinch a single. But Badoni sends him back and he retreats in time.

Navdeep Saini To Nicholas Pooran
Across off, on a fullish length. Pooran slaps it to the right of long off. Despite the ball running through the practice pitches in the deep, Ajinkya Rahane does well to cut it off with a dive. Two taken.

Navdeep Saini To Nicholas Pooran
WIDE! Down leg, and way too short. Pooran ducks and lets it be. Wide given.

Navdeep Saini To Nicholas Pooran
Slows it up, on a length, and nips away from the left-hander. Pooran swings across to pull, only to miss.

Navdeep Saini To Nicholas Pooran
Nice and full, straighter outside off, Pooran carves it to cover.
That was an over of high quality from Narine. At halfway, LSG's 85/3 meets KKR's 98/1. The Super Giants need 97 runs from 60 balls. Now then, Navdeep Saini (1-0-17-0) returns into the attack.

Cameron Green To Nicholas Pooran
Short again and on middle, Nicholas Pooran gets a top edge on his pull shot towards deep mid-wicket. Rovman Powell runs to his right and grabs it, but it won't matter. He quickly throws it back. Just one.
8.6
nb
Cameron Green To Nicholas Pooran
Another slower bumper, but too high again, Nicholas Pooran lets it go. It is called a No Ball for this being the second bouncer of the over. Free Hit up next..

Cameron Green To Nicholas Pooran
SIX! Nicholas Pooran gets going! Cameron Green bangs it into the pitch again, but this one just sits up nicely for the batter. Pooran climbs onto it and pulls it away flat, and it flies over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

Cameron Green To Ayush Badoni
Back of a length and around off, Ayush Badoni lifts his front leg to heave it away but mistimes it wide of mid on for a run.
8.3

Cameron Green To Nicholas Pooran
Good length and on middle, Nicholas Pooran drops it in front of cover for a quick single.
A slight halt in play. Change of boots for Cameron Green. He puts on the new pair and we are good to continue.
8.3
wd
Cameron Green To Nicholas Pooran
WIDE! A slower bouncer, around off, but way too high for the batter. Nicholas Pooran leaves it alone. Easy wide decision.
Green will surely be the happiest man in the park right now. And yet again, a wicket right after the break. LSG lose their skipper and Nicholas Pooran is in at number 5.
8.2

Cameron Green To Rishabh Pant OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Cameron Green comes in and gets a huge wicket of Rishabh Pant. This is why KKR were desperately waiting for him to finally be able to bowl. He bangs this hard into the pitch, on middle, and gets some extra bounce due to his height. Pant goes for the pull shot but the ball gets big on him and he fails to control the shot. It takes the top edge and flies wide of short fine, where Kartik Tyagi moves to his right and takes a good running catch. A body blow to LSG as their famed top three are now back in the hut.

Cameron Green To Ayush Badoni
Short of a length and outside off, Ayush Badoni cuts it away really hard but finds deep point. Just a single.
STRATEGIC BREAK! It's pretty much even stevens at the moment. LSG are 72/2 in 8 overs. At the same stage, KKR were 74/1. So a nice contest is brewing up in Kolkata. It's just about who applies in a better way. The pitch is slow and the ball has turned a fair bit for Narine who has bowled a frugal spell so far. Pant and Badoni have formed a steady stand together and with 110 runs needed off 72 balls, which is no big ask, these two would like to consolidate the middle phase. Knight Riders know that they need wickets regularly and would look upon Narine to bring the breakthrough. And surprise, surprise! Cameron Green is brought into the attack now. For the first time in this IPL.
