Full commentary

9.56pm: Well, that was a bit of a non-event. This game won't live long in the memory, perhaps with the lone exception of Lorcan Tucker's unexpected tactical retirement. MI started slowly but Waseem and Pollard ensured they posted 180, and ADKR never looked as though they would chase them - with the possible exception of a quick Dre Russ cameo in the middle overs.

Knight Riders' last-wicket pair need to hit 20 off the last over to pick up their first win of the tournament. Dan Mousley will bowl some quick offbreaks from around the wicket...

pitifully slow slower-ball bouncer... pulled flaccidly into the deep... and pouched at deep midwicket. A fittingly grim end to a grim innings!

Daz: "If the Riders was 4 or 5 wickets their chances would have been much better" -- And as Gino D'Acampo said, if my grandmother had wheels, she would be a bike.
