KKR 59-1 (6 ovs) vs Punjab | Scorecard

Lynn sweeps Mujeeb but is denied a boundary by the diving stop from Gayle at short fine leg as he gets just a single.

Narine smashes one straight back to the bowler Mujeeb who is struck on his right arm and seems be in a lot of pain as he forced is off the field.

Captain Ravichandran Ashwin takes over, to bowl the remaining four deliveries of the over.

Ashwin starts with a short ball which Narine pulls over midwicket for a six and then smashes the next over mid-on for a four as KKR finally manage to break the shackles.

Two more singles as Ashwin goes for 12 off his four deliveries of the over to get KKR kick-started after a sedate start.

Left-arm pacer Barinder Sran is welcomed to the bowling crease by a huge six from Lynn as he smashes it over midwicket.

A single to Lynn before Narine lashes at a short wide delivery but gets a thick outside edge over short thirdman for a four.

Two balls later, he looks for a big hit down the ground and despite not timing it not that well, he manages to clear mid-on for another four.

Pacer Andrew Tye comes into the attack. Lynn immediately goes after the fast bowler, launching him for a huge six down the ground.

But Tye gets revenge immediately as he bowls Lynn, who goes for the pull but misses and the ball goes off his body and his gloves and deflects on to the stumps.

Lynn had made a good start, scoring 27 from 17 balls, but was unable to carry on. However, he gave KKR a good start, putting on 53 runs for the opening wicket with Narine from just 32 balls.

Robin Uthappa gets off the mark with a single before Narine pulls a short ball behind square leg for a four.

A single from the last ball as Tye goes for 12 as KKR reach 59 for one in six overs, with Narine unbeaten on 31 from 18 balls.
