Bartlett to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, FOUR, extra-cover had a chance as this was hit in the air to his right. But needed a dive with an outstretched right hand which was not there, full outswinger outside off, Angkrish Raghuvanshi gets forward and lofts nicely, takes four more. Big over this - 19 off it and 29 off the last two. KKR running away now, Replays show that it was well wide of Jansen, not sure even if a dive would have helped there
5.5
Bartlett to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, 2 runs, now a thick leading-edge and Angkrish Raghuvanshi gets lucky. Shedge at deep backward point runs in and dives forward but the ball was always going to fall in front of him, backward point running back had a better chance but that was tough for Wadhera over his shoulder, eventually the ball lands in space

Bartlett to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, FOUR, Shedge again in the action but this time he can't judge it well. Runs to his right and leaps with an outstretched right hand, the ball just misses his hand and lands just inside the ropes. Angkrish Raghuvanshi doesn't care if it's his first ball, he comes down the track and is beaten by the full outswinger outside off, sliced off a thick outside half and still it carries so far, Shedge at deep backward point did well but gives away four

Bartlett to de Kock, out Caught by Suryansh Shedge!! Straight to deep backward square-leg. Good judgement this. Similar to the Priyansh dismissal. This is a full delivery on the pads, de Kock usually sends these way back into the stands at deep backward square-leg but this time, he fails to get the elevation, Shedge takes it calmly and the PBKS side are pumped. Lots of high-fives and the crowd erupt. Bartlett is a master at taking wickets in the powerplay, he has done it again. de Kock c Suryansh Shedge b Bartlett 2(4)
1.1
Bartlett to de Kock, no run, big appeal for LBW but Josh Inglis suggests it's going down leg. It is. Full inswinger and late swing, but down leg as de Kock flicks and misses
