Pune 42-0 (5 ovs) vs KKR | Scorecard

Tripathi plays a cracking drive through the covers off Umesh for a boundary, who bowls it right up and also offers a bit of width. An angry Umesh follows it up with a bouncer which goes quite high over the batsman and is called a wide.

A single each to the two batsmen before Tripathi comes down the track and drives Umesh through the off-side for the second boundary of the over.

Spinner Sunil Narine comes into the attack early, to bowl the fourth over. He nearly accounts for Tripathi with one goes straight on and beats the batsman but wicketkeeper Robin Uthappa is a bit too slow in dislodging the bails.

A good start from Narine as he gives away just five runs in his first over.

Woakes, who bowled just one over with the new ball, comes back as he replaces Umesh.

Rahane hits the third ball straight back over the England pacer's head for the first six of the innings. Two balls later Tripathi again uses his feet as he hammers a full delivery Woakes straight down the ground for a four to take Pune to 42 for no loss in five overs.
