... THE RUN CHASE ...

Seattle Orcas, on the other hand, will be really happy with their overall bowling effort. Zaman Khan set the tone early by getting rid of Narine. They allowed a small partnership but Harmeet Singh broke that and then followed it up with another. Cameron Gannon then dismissed the set Roy and Khan cleverly deceived Dre Russ which stopped him from doing any more damage. They were well in control till the last over where Nandre Burger had a forgettable outing conceding 24 runs which could prove to be a turning point in this game. However, they do have enough quality in their batting line up and after a big failure in the first game, it is time for them to step up and chase this total down to get their first points. Join us in a bit for the second essay.

Jason Roy, who played a fine knock is up for a chat. He ays that he struggled to get going and took time to get used to the pace of the pitch. Adds that they try to build a platform towards the end and credit David Miller for his fine knock. Mentions that it has been a tough couple of weeks adjusting to the heat in the USA. Says that 168 looks to be a defendable score and ends by saying it is going to be exciting.

David Miller finishes with a flurry here! Killer-Miller smashed 24 runs in the last over, shifting the momentum on their side. Just like the previous two games, skipper Sunil Narine fell cheaply again. However, Jason Roy stepped up and steadied the ship for a bit along with Unmukt Chand who lost his wicket just after the first break. That did not stop Roy as he kept the scoreboard ticking finding the odd boundaries as well. After reaching his fifty, he got tired and started swinging at everything but not connecting much and ultimately was dismissed on 69. Dre Russ came in and hit one out of the park but couldn't stick around for long. It was the late cameo from David Miller who blasted 44 off just 22 balls getting them to a respectable total.

Nandre Burger to David Miller, FOUR! TOP EDGE! What a last over, 24 runs off it. Nandre Burger drops it short and over middle. David Miller pulls it with the pace and the ball deflects off the top edge. Luckily for him, the ball is hit in the gap past short third and from there rolls off to the fence for four runs to end the innings. Los Angeles Knight Riders finish on 168/5!
