Mohammed Siraj to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, SIX! My word, that's well struck! This is Angkrish Raghuvanshi's highest score in the IPL, according to Ravi Shastri on air. Fuller from Siraj, angled at the leg stump and this is a slower one as well. Angkrish Raghuvanshi gets far across off, goes down on a knee. Keeps his head steady and slog sweeps it massively over long leg for a huge six.

Score204 - 2

Kagiso Rabada to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, PUT DOWN! That's the fourth catch grassed by GT and this time, the culprit is Washington Sundar. Very full, on middle and leg. Angkrish Raghuvanshi whips it aerially, but cannot get the bat underneath the ball properly. Hence, he does not get the timing or the distance. The ball goes flat to deep backward square leg. Washington Sundar gets low and plants his left knee into the ground, but drops it in the end. A single taken.

Score201 - 2

Kagiso Rabada to Cameron Green, Yorker on off, Green drills it straight down the ground, but the ball crashes into the stumps at the non-striker's end. It deflects away and they cross for a run.

Three overs left in the innings. Siraj and Rabada both have one over remaining, but who will bowl the third over? For now, it is Kagiso Rabada who will bowl out.

Score199 - 2

Jason Holder to Cameron Green, At 126.9 kph, this is dug well short, on top of middle and leg. Green gets inside the line to play the pull shot, but misses out. It is called a fair delivery, and Green sends it upstairs for a review for wide not given for height. Ball Tracking with the side-on replay comes up. Green's head height is 2.034 meters, while his shoulder height is 1.69 meters. The ball passes between his head and shoulder, reading 2.030 meters. So it is a fair delivery.

Score197 - 2

Jason Holder to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, FIFTY FOR RAGHUVANSHI! From 33 balls. His 5th half century this season, and overall, this is his 7th IPL half century. First, he played the second fiddle to Allen, and has taken on the opportunity to fire now. Gets to his milestone by guiding the length ball to deep third for a single.

Score196 - 2

Jason Holder to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, FOUR! Gloriously struck! Pitched full and around off. Not an ideal length from Holder with mid off in the ring. Angkrish Raghuvanshi gets under it and lofts it over the mid off fielder for a boundary on the bounce.

Score192 - 2

Rashid Khan to Cameron Green, Pushed down leg, on a length. Green gets inside the line of the ball and clips it to the left of short fine leg. Kagiso Rabada gets around in the deep and tidies up. Two runs taken.

Hang on, there's a halt in play. Cameron Green is hit on the box, and he calls for the physio. Also, the umpires take this opportunity to take the STRATEGIC BREAK. The middle overs have proven to be very fruitful for KKR and those dropped catches have hurt GT very dearly. Allen's thunderous knock of 93 and now, a fiery knock from Cameron Green have set KKR on course to score somewhere in the region of 230-240. The Titans need wickets, and they need them in a heap to wrestle back some momentum. Thankfully for KKR, Green is all good to continue.

Jason Holder to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, NO BALL! Oh, dear. Holder gets it all wrong. Jason perhaps went for the off-cutter but it comes out as a chest high full toss, over middle. Angkrish Raghuvanshi walks across for the scoop but fails to connect. Jos Buttler moves to his left and does well to not let the ball go past him. Free Hit coming up.
