KKR 87-2 (10 ovs) vs Rajasthan 160-8 | Scorecard

Leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal comes into the attack. He begins with two dot balls to Uthappa who then pulls a short ball over mid-on for a six followed by a single.

Narine slaps the last ball through the covers but Stokes at long-off does well to cut it and keep it down to two.

Pacer Ben Stokes comes into the attack. Uthappa is beaten by the first ball before he takes one and then picks a single on the leg side.

Narine then gets the edge which goes fine on the off-side for a four before he gets one to pick up six runs from the over.

In the next over, KKR lose the wicket of Narine, who is run out after a handy innings of 35 from 25 balls. He attempted the reverse sweep against Gopal but missed and the ball went off the pads to short thirdman but Narine was halfway down the track looking for a single before he was sent back. But a quick throw from Unadkat to wicketkeeper Buttler saw Narine getting run out as KKR lose their second wicket.

Nitish Rana gets off the mark with a single before Uthappa heaves the last ball for a six over midwicket.

Uthappa is on the charge as he gets a thick outside edge off Stokes but Unadkat at thirdman lets it go through his legs to gift KKR a boundary.

10 runs from the 10th over takes KKR to 87 for two at the halfway stage, with 74 needed from 60 balls for victory.

Uthappa has blasted his way to 46 from 29 balls, while Rana is on four.
