Brijesh Sharma to Marcus Stoinis, SIX, fifty for Stoinis. What a knock! He's got there in 20 balls and giving the finishing touches to this innings. This is a high full-toss and Stoinis wants it checked. He signals 'T'. His waist height is 1.09m, ball is 0.82m. That must have slipped out of Brijesh's hand, Stoinis does not miss out as he swings hard and sends it sailing into the deep mid-wicket stand

Brijesh Sharma to Marcus Stoinis, SIX, that's an incredible shot. Not much wrong with the delivery - low full toss on off, Stoinis somehow manages to get under it and uses his power to pump it all the way over wide long-on. Sheer power!

Brijesh Sharma to Marcus Stoinis, FOUR, too straight from Brijesh - on middle and leg, Stoinis uses the angle coming into him and swings hard, beats short fine to his left and the ball races away. Punja could have done better..

Jofra Archer to Marcus Stoinis, SIX, back to back sixes. Stoinis is playing a blinder here. 141.2ks full pitcher, right in the slot and Stoinis smokes it down the ground. He clears his front leg and smashes it straight back over Archer

Nandre Burger to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! This time the change of bat does not work. It had early on but this time Iyer miscues it straight up. The slower ball from Burger, angled across the right-hander, Iyer is deceived by the lack of pace and is early into the shot, gets it right off the toe-end and the ball goes towards short fine. Jurel runs across and takes a good catch. Shreyas Iyer c Dhruv Jurel b Nandre Burger 30(27) [4s-1 6s-1]

Yash Raj Punja to Marcus Stoinis, SIX, that ruins the over. But still a good spell from the youngster. He finishes with figures of 4-0-41-2.

Ravindra Jadeja to Shreyas Iyer, 2 runs, shuffles across and tucks it off the pads towards square leg. Iyer calls for two and gets it comfortably

Yash Raj Punja to Prabhsimran Singh, out Caught by Riyan Parag!! Second wicket for Punja. This dismissal shows he is a smart operator. He should be if he's picked over an in-form Bishnoi in the XI.

He takes it safely and ends a fine knock. Prabhsimran Singh c Riyan Parag b Yash Raj Punja 59(44) [4s-6 6s-1]

Yash Raj Punja to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, the change of bat works immediately for Iyer. He mistimed a pull early in the over but not with the new bat. This is googly which is dragged short, Iyer goes deep in the crease and launches the pull over deep mid-wicket

Ravindra Jadeja to Shreyas Iyer, byes, FOUR, what happened there? That's beaten everyone. Flighted delivery, Iyer sees the line outside off and looks to drive, ends up playing outside the line and is beaten on the inside-edge. Dhruv Jurel gets up early and allows the ball to escape through his legs. Some bonus runs for Punjab Kings

Ravindra Jadeja to Prabhsimran Singh, 1 run, fifty for Prabhsimran. His fourth of the season. He has been consistent and more mature in the way he goes about his innings. He has played second fiddle to Priyansh first and then to Connolly. Now when Iyer was new to the crease, he struck a couple of fours off Archer to keep the scoreboard moving. He raises his bat and acknowledges the applause. Drifting in with the angle, Prabhsimran nudges it into the mid-wicket pocket and settles with a single

Jofra Archer to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR, that's more like it from Prabhsimran. He shimmies down the pitch, converts it into a fullish delivery and lofts through the line. Mid-off was inside the ring and he clears him easily

Jofra Archer to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR, streaky! But that's what you get with pace. Another short of length delivery, Prabhsimran stays leg-side of the ball and tries the flat-batted down the ground. He gets a thick top-edge and the ball flies over Dhruv Jurel

Yash Raj Punja to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR, 91.5kph, drifting down leg. Prabhsimran walks across and gets low to slogsweep it over backward square leg. One bounce and into the fence

Yash Raj Punja to Cooper Connolly, SIX, this one is right off the meat of the bat! 87kph, a proper half-tracker from the young leggie. Connolly goes back to pummel it over cow corner with a pull shot. Yash Punja under pressure now

Jofra Archer to Priyansh Arya, out Caught by Nandre Burger!! Gone this time! 150.1kph, Jofra goes fuller, Priyansh tries to loft it downtown. The bat turns at the point of impact and the timing goes awry. Burger takes a safe catch at mid-off. Just a stare and no reaction post that from the bowler. End of Priyansh's cameo. Jofra has once again struck in the powerplay. Jofra troubled the left-hander throughout the over and gets his man. Priyansh Arya c Nandre Burger b Jofra Archer 29(11) [4s-5 6s-1]

Jofra Archer to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, 142.3kph, in the air, a hopping Yashasvi Jaiswal at deep first slip fails to catch it. He can't catch and the ball rolls away to third man for four. Cracking delivery from Jofra. Keeps rising from a back of a length and Priyansh plays a nothing shot. Looks to push it off the back foot with an opened bat-face and the ball flies off the outside edge. Jasiwal, almost at the edge of the 30-yard circle, times his jump well but lets the ball burst through his palms. Archer covers his face with his left palm as the ball runs away to the fence

Jofra Archer to Priyansh Arya, no run, inswinger, pad-lined, Priyansh flicks and misses. Dhruv Jurel dives to his right to grab it. He appeals for a catch but Archer wasn't interested. There was a player review, probably from Punjab for a wide. But it definitely brushed the pad. So, PBKS burn a review

Jofra Archer to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, where's first slip? 138.8kph, climbs from a short of a good length, hint of away movement off the deck as well. Priyansh has a poke at it and the outside edge goes wide of the diving Dhruv Jurel. Would have gone straight to 1st slip. Archer indicates to Parag that he didn't notice the absence of the slip fielder

Nandre Burger to Priyansh Arya, SIX, classy stroke from Priyansh Arya! 140.8kph, width on offer, Priyansh rises as the ball comes towards him and plays a beautiful stroke. Lovely swing of the willow to dispatch it over deep extra cover. Goes all the way and he poses for the photographs

Nandre Burger to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, 140.4kph, better contact and Priyansh collects his first boundary. Not as short as the previous delivery. It's just below the waist and Priyansh slams the pull well in front of square on the leg-side

Jofra Archer to Prabhsimran Singh, leg byes, FOUR, 142.7kph, straying onto the pads, Prabhsimran misses the flick. The ball brushes the thigh and runs away fine to the fine leg fence
