TKR innings in progress (target: 78)
TKR 78/1 in 11.3 overs (Webster 41, Seifert 16): Target down to six and Seifert brings out the big hit to seal this! 10 out of 10 for TKR. A disappointing season for the Patriots comes to an end.
TKR 69/1 in 11 overs (Webster 40, Seifert 9): No real urgency with the batters as they deal in singles and doubles.
TKR 63/1 in 10 overs (Webster 38, Seifert 5): Just 4 runs from the over as the players and officials take a drinks break.
Left-arm seamer Archibald comes on for his first over.
TKR 59/1 in 9 overs (Webster 36, Seifert 3): Emrit gets the breakthrough. He goes around the wicket and angles the ball into Jangoo, and draws a thin edge behind to the 'keeper. Tim Seifert comes in at No. 3.
TKR 54/0 in 8 overs (Webster 34, Jangoo 19): The Knight Riders openers knocking off the target here without taking much risks. Joseph too going short, targetting the head of Webster, who chooses to let them go. Joseph ends the over with a full delivery and Webster swings hard at it as the ball sails over the long-on boundary for a six.

Skipper Riyad Emrit brings himself on.
TKR 42/0 in 6 overs (Webster 25, Jangoo 16): Short and down the leg side from Joseph, and Webster quickly gets on the pull to help the ball behind for a boundary. Short and wide to the left-handed Jangoo and he nails the square cut for a four.
Alzarri Joseph comes for his first over.
TKR 31/0 in 5 overs (Webster 20, Jangoo 11): Jaggesar bowls it on a half-volley length and wide which allows Jangoo to free his arms on the cover drive.

TKR 15/0 in 2 overs (Webster 9, Jangoo 6): Leg-spinner Imran Khan bowls the second over, and nearly dismisses Jangoo. Jangoo came forward to smother a delivery, it was a googly, it took the edge and the ball flew to the vacant slip. Two runs taken. Five from the over: two twos and a single.
TKR 10/0 after one over (Webster 9, Jangoo 1) : Two boundaries in the first over of the chase, including a streaky one by Webster. He tried to flick a delivery from Sheldon Cottrell to leg but got a leading edge and collected a boundary through point. Next delivery, it's down the leg side and Webster flicks again and picks up another boundary. Two singles as well, from the over.
---------

STKNP 33/5 in 9 overs (Ramdin 2, Emrit 0): WICKET! The TKR spinners are spinning a web around the Patriots. Five down inside nine overs. Imran didn't pick up the googly from Fawad and the ball strikes the pad.
STKNP 32/4 in 8 overs (Ramdin 2, Imran 0): WICKET! Tambe follows up his catch with a wicket of his own. He pins Da Dilva on the back leg with a quicker delivery and the umpire raises the finger. Imran Khan comes in at No. 6.
Tambe gets his first over of the innings.
STKNP 31/3 in 7 overs (Ramdin 1, Da Silva 5): Pravin 'Jonty' Tambe! 48-years-old? No problem whatsoever as he runs in from short third man to complete a stunning diving catch to dismiss Dunk, who top-edged his reverse sweep. Dinesh Ramdin is the new batsman.
More spin: Here comes the leg spin of Fawad Ahmed.
STKNP 27/2 in 6 overs (Da Silva 3, Dunk 1): Lewis batting on 12 form 23 balls looks to up the scoring; goes hard on the spin against the spin and gets a top edge behind for the 'keeper. Lewis Dunk is the new batsman.
