KKR 127-5 (16 ovs) vs Rajasthan

Rajpoot comes back as he starts with a wide outside the off-stump to Russell.

The next ball is on the stumps as Russell clubs it over midwicket for a six before the bowler gets revenge next ball.

He tries to slash a full wide delivery over the off-side but ends up slicing it to Unadkat on the thirdman fence to be dismissed for a quick 24 from 14 balls.

Rajpoot tries the short ball but ends up bowling two wides in a row to Morgan, before he is hit on the helmet trying to play the pull shot.

The physio comes out to check on Morgan as the second strategic timeout of the innings is taken.

Pat Cummins gets off the mark with a single to thirdman and Morgan drives the next ball to long-off for one.

A swing and a miss from Cummins to one outside the off-stump from Rajpoot, who concedes 12 in his third over.

KKR will need a strong finish as they are reduced to 120-5 in 15 overs.

Pacer Tom Curran comes back into the attack.

Morgan comes down the track and lofts Curran over the covers for a couple before he hits a full toss to deep midwicket to miss out on some easy runs.

Cummins then clips a length balls off his hips through midwicket for two runs before picking one.

The last ball is a slower bouncer as Morgan pulls it to fine leg for one as Curran concedes just seven in his second over with KKR reaching 127-5 in 16 overs.
