    13.3 Touch fuller on middle and leg, skips down the track and tries to hit along his merry way, hasn't got all if it, plenty of height but not enough distance, gobbled by sub S Currie at cow corner, a responsible knock on a big night 122/1
    14.1 Botch-up! Tossed up outside off, down on one knee and sweeps it straight to wide fine leg up in the ring and wasn't even looking at Russell, Pepper is well short of the crease as the throw is right on target and Haider removes the bails quickly, massive wicket, both set openers are back in the hut and little bit of panic on show from ADKR! They need a partnership but they don't have much time to settle and chew up dots 124/2
    14.3 Capitals are on fine! Outfoxed him with a pinpoint accurate yorker and totally gobsmacked him with a full delivery, he wasn't expecting this at all, opened the face to cut and the shot wasn't on, perhaps still recovering from the terrible mix-up on the last delivery and not quite in the moment 124/3
    17.4 Livingstone's ebullience comes to an end as well, what a comeback from Capitals, shows how important it is to keep wickets and for the set batters to stay long on this pitch! Once again, a quicker one with not much room to break free, he has to go for the boundaries and tries to lift it up and over midwicket, not much force behind the shot and gobbled by Willey at midwicket, still some batting left 142/6
    15.1 Around the wicket and he bowls it quick through the air, shorter on leg-stump, skedaddles down the track in a bid to club it downtown and plays down the wrong line, keeper it quick to light up the zingers and Sharafu is short of his crease, great passage of play for Capitals and a fabulous opportunity to restrict them under 180 127/4
    16.1 Gets the big fish! Tossed up from over the wicket, fuller and moves away a touch outside off, tries to go big downtown, plenty of height but not enough distance to clear the rope at long-on, Powell, is safe as a house, and makes no mistake, was lured with a bat and he bit it 130/5

    1.2 Touch short and decimates a touch from middle-stump, sharp bounce as he always gets, caught up in two minds, plays a nothing shot in the end, gets the leading edge and is taken by Sharafu, not through the shot fully and the error costs him a wicket, exactly the doctor prescribed for ADKR, captain leads the way 11/1
    3.4 That looks very close and hits the pads, triggers a prolonged and convincing lbw appeal in unison, Rod Tucker takes a his time before raising his finger, send upstairs. Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting wickets on leg-stump, hitting it fully and so the on-field decision stands. Capitals in a spot of bother 35/3
    2.5 On a length and sends it whooshing away in the channel, follows it and gets beaten on the outside edge and a belated appeal for a caught behind, they want another look and it's masterstroke, gets a feather edge and another timely scalp for ADKR 31/2
    7.3 Fielders swarming around the bat and the West Indians are turning it on, they are champions and have done it for so many franchises and for their national team, shortish ball veering away and tempting him to follow the line, he wad drawn forward to pat it away and got a tiny edge to the slip. ADKR are on a fire, half of the team is back in the hut, and now the 159 total looks a very steep mountain to climb. Excellent bowling upfront, haven't erred at all and the bowlers have brought their AAA game forward, kept them on a leash 49/5
    5.4 Rips through the stumps! What a teasing angle, from around the wicket, he lands it on a shortish length and it jags back viciously as he attempts an ambitious off-drive and the ball moves in to wreck the stumps, that's a Narine special for you, big players step up in big games! four batters back in the room and we're still not done with the powerplay! 43/4
    9.4 Oh, that has been tanked out of the screws and sent miles up in the sky, lures him with the bait with an extra bit of flight, landed on a length and spins into his pads, he gives him a charge and got plenty of it but the fielder was perfectly stationed for the ploy and Garton takes a gem 64/6
    11.3 Landed fuller and outside off, nothing working for Dubai Capitals, he got down to get underneath and drags it flat to long-on, taken in the deep with no fuss, reverse cupped by Sharafu, arms aloft from Livingstone in celebration. Terrific response from the bowlers, they have a game out of a modest total and Capitals have looked out of sorts right from the start 79/7
    16.1 Around the wicket, edged and taken and that looks like the killer blow! Pushed wider across off on a length and he was not going to hold back, tries to hammer it up and over extra cover, gets the toe-end part of the bat and snaffled by the keeper, with his wicket, he takes away all the hopes for any upset 108/9
    13.1 wheels continue to come off and another one perishes! Livingstone with a golden arm gets another apparently, given. by the on-field umpire but sent upstairs. Livingstone can do no wrong tonight, irksome angle from around the wicket, shaping it in from a length and gets just enough drift and inward movement to cause confusion in the batter's mind, he lunged at it and missed, hitting middle and leg, all reds mean Willey has to take the long walk back to the pavilion. What a power packed performance from ADKR! It will be statement win and they seem to be fully ready for the Qualifier 2. Asking rate demands big shots but it's all chaos at the moment from Capitals 84/8

    16.2 Sensational comeback and Jason Holder, you beauty, galvanized his team superbly and ADKR made a roaring comeback in this game, gets back-to-back wickets, asking him to flay at the fuller wide once and he obliges, chases it for a drive and another edge gobbled by Pepper! That will the end of defending champions campaign and Knight Riders will have another chance to make it to the final! 108/10
