And Faulkner (32 from 27) is now gone too as Gujarat Lions descend into the doldrums, with 30 runs to get off 4 deliveries. He miscued a slog straight into Miller's hands at Long-on.
GL 125/8 after 19 overs (J Faulkner 32 off 25 | D Kulkarni 0 off 0 || need 30 from 6 balls)
Cariappa! He's tapped it into the boundary for four at Third-man after Praveen Kumar lobs it in his direction. But he is absolved off the last ball of the over as he gets a mulligan, and pouches Praveen Kumar (15 from 13) this time. Great bowling by Mohit Sharma. Lions will not likely make this target now.
GL 118/7 after 18 overs (J Faulkner 31 off 24 | P Kumar 9 off 8 || need 37 from 12 balls)

Faulkner swings. Ball rises and starts to fall into Deep Midwicket. Maxwell dives. Maxwell yorks himself. Maxwell looks sheepish as the ball trickles past him for four. Stoinis thinks the ball is still in play and reprimands his fellow Australian for looking sheepish while there is still work to be done, and it's Stoinis's turn to look sheepish as Maxwell points to the boundary. Now, Kumar dabs it away for four through Third-man. And Faulkner swish-and-misses the last ball. This over helped Lions somewhat. 12 off it.
GL 106/7 after 17 overs (J Faulkner 26 off 21 | P Kumar 3 off 5 || need 49 from 18 balls)
Faulkner has been too quiet tonight. But he tonks the last ball of the over, a full-toss on off-stump, over the Covers for four. Some life injected into the chase; the Lions haven't dozed off.
GL 99/7 after 16 overs (J Faulkner 19 off 18 | P Kumar 1 off 1 || need 56 from 24 balls)
Faulkner absolutely bludgeons a length ball straight for four, just missing Mohit Sharma's head. Breaks the monotony somewhat as the first cheer goes up since about a gazillion overs. Faulkner trying to muscle these balls now, but unable to find the boundary.
