Imran Tahir brought out a new celebration: the pendulum•BCCI

Steven Smith was his usual sprightly self in the field•BCCI

The lifter that gave KKR a lift: Ajinkya Rahane fell in the second over•BCCI

Or an in-form Ben Stokes•BCCI

His 93 off 52 balls with nine fours and seven sixes brushed KKR aside and put Pune in third place•BCCI

Sheldon Jackson trod on his stumps to be out hit-wicket for 10•BCCI

Colin de Grandhomme sparkled in a cameo of 36 off 19, giving KKR some momentum after the early jolts•BCCI

He had a bit of a scare though, when he collided with Ben Stokes while going for a catch. Thankfully, both players did not suffer any damage•BCCI

Chris Woakes then bowled Steven Smith for 9•BCCI

The offspinner did make Stokes pay•BCCI

Total destruction: Daniel Christian took out all three stumps to complete the run-out of Chris Woakes •BCCI

Nathan Coulter-Nile had an injury scare of his own when he was struck forcefully on the helmet grille by a bouncer•BCCI

Sunil Narine might be threatening to some batsmen, but not to an in-form Rahul Tripathi... •BCCI

But Tripathi continued on his merry way•BCCI
