Holder to Maxwell, SIX, six to end. Walks across, exposes his sticks, gets under the ball and sweeps it over short fine. That was such a clean hit. Maxwell was seeing it like a football and has finished with 106 off 49 adorned with 13 sixes

Holder to Pienaar, FOUR, length delivery, outside off, Pienaar looks to heave it and gets it over the man at short third off the outer-edge. 200 has been breached. This is going to be a mammoth chase

Holder to Maxwell, 1 run, 100 off 48 balls! Maxwell has put up the show today. He has propelled his team to almost 200. That was banged in short, Maxwell looked to pull and got a top-edge. The ball landed well short of the man at deep mid. They get a single

Holder to Maxwell, SIX, on to 99! Well wide outside off, Maxwell latches on to it and slaps it over long-off. He advanced down the track, fetched it from well outside off and muscled it. He is set now and is barely mistiming it

Holder to Maxwell, SIX, into the 90s! Fuller ball, angled in, short arm jab over cow corner. That was a length delivery and powered away. Maxwell is very hard to bowl in a situation like this

Russell to Maxwell, FOUR, and reverse scooped over short third man. Was a fuller ball, angled in, Maxwell sat down and managed to reverse scoop it

Russell to Maxwell, FOUR, stays back and manages to send it over mid-off. That was well done indeed. Got enough bat on it to send it over. His first four after 10 towering sixes from him

van Schalkwyk to Maxwell, no ball, SIX, and one-handed! Well over deep mid. Too high, full toss, Maxwell danced down a little and heaved it away over deep mid. He has moved to 78. Holder isn't too pleased and feels it was not above the waist

van Schalkwyk to Maxwell, SIX, and vindicates turning down the single by slamming one down the ground. Just over the sight screen. Was a fuller ball, angled across, Maxwell dropped down on his knees to slam it down the ground

Narine to Maxwell, SIX, heaved away and six more. That has gone sailing over the man at deep mid. That was tonked away hard

Narine to Maxwell, SIX, fifty for Maxi. The man at deep mid, got two hands to it and has dropped it. The ball bobbled over the ropes. Sixer for Maxwell again. Huge drop it might be

Corne Dry to Maxwell, SIX, short ball, Maxwell pulls it over deep backward square. He again stayed back and muscled it. Now, we know why he wanted the strike and denied the second off the previous ball. He took full toll of it

Corne Dry to Maxwell, SIX, and six more for Maxwell! His fourth. Very full, angled in, slower, Maxwell stayed deep in his crease and whipped it over deep square. That was timed in a surreal manner from Maxi

Sangha to Maxwell, SIX, fuller length delivery, Maxwell lofts it. Sends it over long-on. That was massive from the big show. He is away. Took his time but is batting well now. That was one-handed from Maxwell after he backed away to a tossed up delivery

Sangha to Maxwell, SIX, and hung back to power it over long-off this time. That ball has gone the full journey. He is on the attack now. Maxwell has been unleashed. That was dragged down a little, Maxwell maintained his strong base and sent it packing over the ropes at long-off

Sangha to Maxwell, SIX, and muscled over long-on. Breaks the shackles finally. That was short, Maxwell stayed back and launched it over long-on. He backed away a little to give himself room which allowed him the free swing

Sangha to Pienaar, 1 run, the batter managed to get a part of the glove to make contact and that has saved him. Looked to play the reverse and missed it. But the faint tickle off the glove has saved him. Might have been a close affair had he missed it completely. LAKR lose the review

Sangha to Chapman, out Caught by Narine!! Top-edge and taken. That was outside off, Chapman looked to sweep and got it off the top-edge. Was off the bottom part of the bat. The ball ballooned up and the man inside the circle just behind square takes it with elan. Second strike for Sangha and the LAKR team chipping away with wickets. Half the side is back in the hut now. Chapman c Narine b Sangha 17(21) [6s-1]

Sangha to Chapman, SIX, much needed hit for the Freedom. It had been a while. Chapman comes down the track, gets close to the flighted delivery and lofts it with the spin over wide long-on

Sangha to Jack Edwards, out Caught by Chand!! Sangha strikes in his first over. He gets his fellow Australian. Once more fraction short and Edwards thinks it is there for the cut, but this one bounces tad more and catches the outside edge, Chand takes a sharp catch behind the wicket. The Knight Riders keep picking wickets in regular intervals. Jack Edwards c Chand b Sangha 11(13) [4s-1]

Holder to Jack Edwards, FOUR, short of length around leg, Edwards gets inside the line and helps the pull past a diving short fine

Corne Dry to Gous, out Caught by Powell!! Second wicket for Dry. Washington Freedom are losing wickets as they try to maximise the powerplay. Three down now and we have just finished the fourth over. Short of length delivery, Dry bowled this into the wicket and the ball did not come on as Gous expected, he still makes a good connection with the pull but hits it straight to deep mid-wicket. Good catch by Powell. Gous c Powell b Corne Dry 12(9) [4s-3]

Corne Dry to Gous, FOUR, fraction short and Gous is quick to latch on, he pulls off the front foot and beats the fielders near deep square leg. That was not off the middle but the short boundaries helped him there

Corne Dry to Gous, FOUR, something had to give and it is a boundary. Dry goes full and wide outside off, Gous saw the width and threw his hands on the drive, the outside edge flies over Russell at short third and races away

Holder to Mitchell Owen, out Caught by Narine!! Holder has his revenge. This is a big wicket as Owen was looking in ominous touch. But that's what he's been doing in this tournament - gets quick 20s and 30s but is not converting them. Short and banged into the surface, Owen backs away and pulls, the top-edge goes straight up and Narine moves to his left near short fine to take the catch. Mitchell Owen c Narine b Holder 32(11) [4s-4 6s-2]

Holder to Mitchell Owen, FOUR, ufff! The sound of ball making contact with the bat was just incredible. Owen backs away and Holder follows him with a short of length delivery, but there's still enough space for Owen to free his hands and he nails the pull in front of square, the ball bounces just short of the ad cushions

Holder to Mitchell Owen, SIX, Owen is off to a flier. He's making these small boundaries look even smaller. Length delivery around off, Owen clears his front leg and heaves it over wide long-on. That ball travelled 20 rows back..

Holder to Mitchell Owen, FOUR, Holder too greeted with a boundary. Short of length delivery, but there was width on offer, Owen slaps it straight back over Holder and beats the long-on fielder

van Schalkwyk to Gous, FOUR, Gous gets into the act now. van Schalkwyk taking a beating. Full delivery around off, Gous lofts through the line and wide of mid-off. Just a chip and the ball rolls away..

van Schalkwyk to Mitchell Owen, FOUR, smashed! Owen charges down, converts this into a half volley and smashes it straight back at van Schalkwyk who did well to get out of the way. The ball races away to the fence..

van Schalkwyk to Mitchell Owen, SIX, this time the ball travels the distance. Length delivery outside off, Owen had the space to free his hands and he thumps it down the ground. First maximum of the evening..

van Schalkwyk to Mitchell Owen, FOUR, 127.5ks full and angled in, ends up right in the arc for Owen to swing through the line, he pumps it over mid-on and clears Holder inside the ring, one bounce and over the ropes

Corne Dry to Ravindra, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Dry has the last laugh. He's back in the XI and provides the early breakthrough. Full delivery, Rachin thought it was in the slot and went for the loft down the ground, just a hint of inward movement to beat the inside edge and the ball crashes into off and middle-stump. Ravindra b Corne Dry 8(4) [4s-2]

Corne Dry to Ravindra, FOUR, back to back fours. 125.1ks fullish delivery but not quite a half volley, but Rachin leans across and drives on the rise through extra cover. Split the two fielders there and the timing took care of the rest

Corne Dry to Ravindra, FOUR, freebie and Rachin helps himself to a boundary. Strays well down leg, would have been a wide had Rachin let go, but he gets enough bat on the glance and the ball races away
