Commentary
21:12 Local Time, 15:42 GMT, 21:12 IST: Phew, catch your breath.
LSG: 210-0 after 20 overs
19.6 Russell to de Kock, 1 run, short of length delivery that rushes onto de Kock, may have hit him on the glove before rolling to short fine. KKR can finally breathe as the innings comes to an end
19.5 Russell to de Kock, FOUR, just carnage everywhere. Low full toss at the stumps, swiped hard over midwicket, finds the gap
19.4 Russell to de Kock, FOUR, in the slot on middle, de Kock swings across the line and it flies off a thick leading edge over short third
19.3 Russell to de Kock, FOUR, pulled in the air, Rana is running across from fine leg, it's a tough chance as he stretches across and puts it down. It drops just inside the ropes
19.2 Russell to de Kock, FOUR, misses the yorker by a few inches, it's quite full on off stump and de Kock clears the front leg to slice it over backward point. No margin for error at all
19.1 Russell to de Kock, 2 runs, overpitched on off, driven back hard, long-off and long-on converge and one of them cuts it off
LSG: 191-0 after 19 overs
18.6 Southee to de Kock, 1 run, finally the execution of the wide yorker is good from Southee, de Kock sweeps it to long-on
18.6 Southee to de Kock, wide, tries a wide yorker but it's almost a foot outside the wide marker
Highest ever opening stand in IPL!
18.5 Southee to de Kock, SIX, oh my! Six, six, six! Terrible from Southee, right in the slot around off and de Kock smokes it over long-on again who's neck must be hurting
18.4 Southee to de Kock, SIX, again the wide line, a slower one at 124kph and the length much fuller but the outcome the same. Long-on watches another one sail over him. De Kock is smashing KKR hopes
18.3 Southee to de Kock, SIX, Southee tries keeping it wide outside off but doesn't escape punishment. There's no escaping from de Kock tonight. Slapped over long-on off a back of a length
18.2 Southee to Rahul, 1 run, back of a length on leg, slower one, Rahul nudges it through midwicket

17.6 Russell to Rahul, 1 run, short of length outside off, swatted to long-on
17.5 Russell to de Kock, 1 run, looks to pull but it's not short enough, goes off the thigh wide of the keeper. May have been an under-edge

17.4 Russell to de Kock, FOUR, short of length across off, de Kock cuts it between backward point and short third man, it races to the boundary and de Kock drops to the floor. He's delighted as he brings up a superb hundred, his second in the IPL. Gets back up and punches the bat. What a show he's put on
