At the time of going to press, LSG were 77-3 in 8.2 overs. Earlier, Narine went on to hit six fours and seven sixes during his innings, with a few of them landing in the stands of this huge stadium.

His departure did slow down the tempo a bit, but the subsequent batters played cameos to help KKR post a total that will require some getting.
