Akash Singh continued his impressive spell with a dramatic over. Josh Inglis began in style, launching a massive six into the stands, but couldn't sustain the momentum.
After a swing and a miss, he attempted another big shot-this time mistiming it. David Miller, stationed at deep mid-wicket, judged it perfectly, timing his leap to pluck the ball inches from the boundary while keeping his balance. A superb catch sent Inglis back to the pavilion after an entertaining 30 off just 14 deliveries.
Akash picked up his second wicket in three overs, leaving Punjab Kings at a crucial juncture with their second breakthrough.
Shreyas Iyer got going with a crisp boundary to get off the mark, followed by a quick single.
Prabhsimran Singh kept the scoreboard ticking with another single to end the over. It was a productive one for Punjab Kings-12 runs came off it, but they also lost a key wicket.
After 5 overs, Punjab Kings are 56 for 2.
