KKR 21-1 (3 ovs) vs Pune 182-5 | Scorecard

We are back with the run chase and all eyes will be on Sunil Narine, who has made quite an impact with the bat since has has been promoted as the opener.

Left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat to open the bowling for Pune. He makes a good start as Narine is beaten off the first ball before he smashes the next square over the off-side ring for a four to get off the mark in style.

Unadkat bowls a wide before Narine picks a single to mid-on followed by two more singles as eight come from the first over.

Shardul Thakur from the other end. He starts off well, beating Narine off the first two balls before he plays a beautiful drive through the covers for a four. He goes after the next delivery, this time getting an edge which goes past the slips for another boundary as KKR race to 18 for no loss in two overs.

Pune decide to counter Narine's threat by introducing spin in the form of off-spinner Sundar Washington. Two singles from three balls before Narine is run out going for a single single to short fine leg. Superb match awareness from Dhoni as he lets the ball go on to hits the stumps, infact, flicking it to towards the stumps following the throw from Thakur at short fine.

Robin Uthappa surives a huge shout for LBW off the last ball of the over as he tries to sweep but fails to make contact. That was very close!

A good start from the young Washington, giving away just three runs in his first over.
