Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal comes into the attack. Lynn shuffles across and sweeps the leggie powerfully through square leg for a four. He tries the shot again but is beaten before he skies the next one as he gets the leading edge but Murugan Ashwin on the off-side puts down the catch.

Change of ends for Umesh as Lynn drills a full toss through the covers for a four. Three balls later he hammers a full toss down the ground back over the bowler's head for a six.

He lashes at the next ball but the fielder at point fumbles to give away a single.

In the next over, Chahal gives one generous flight as Lynn is opened up and is beaten by the turn. Two more dot balls before Lynn smashes the fourth ball through the covers for a four.

Lynn is beaten again off the last ball as Chahal gets some turn but the KKR opener manages to keep his feet firmly in the crease.

Mohammed Siraj comes back into the attack. He starts with a wide followed by three singles before rain strikes the M Chinnaswamy to halt proceedings.

KKR are 55 for no loss in 6.3 overs at the rain interval, needing 121 from 81 balls for victory.
