Shamsi to Russell, out Bowled!! He wasn't reading him once bit and Shamsi wheels away in celebration once again - this time it's the shoe celebration and the Knight Riders fight themselves in tatters. Was another lovely delivery that spun back sharply, dipped and turned into the right-hander - Russell was nowhere near the ball as he swung blindly, the ball curves past the inside edge and crashes into the top of the middle-stump. Russell b Shamsi 12(7) [4s-1 6s-1]
Shamsi to Russell, no run, was there an inside edge? Chase dived forward at slip and couldn't get his hands under it - did look like an inside edge, was the wrong 'un and Russell played down the wrong line
K Pierre to Russell, no run, slower and on off, Russell gets right behind the line as he defended
K Pierre to Russell, SIX, lovely, a counter-punch from Russell - tad too full and right in the slot, he clears the left leg and then hoists it high over long-on for a maximum
K Pierre to Russell, FOUR, cracking shot, too short and too wide from Pierre - Russell makes room and went hard on the cut, beats backward point and runs away to the ropes
K Pierre to Russell, 2 runs, dropped short and wide of off, Russell backs away and cuts it square past point, off the mark with a couple
K Pierre to Russell, no run, another shout for caught behind, but Pierre didn't look all that interested - turn and bounce from off, drifted in and then ripped past Russell's outside edge, the sound was the bat hitting the pad
