Simon Jones hit a glorious straight six plus three fours in 21 from 14 balls, but Pollock bamboozled him with a slower ball and quickly wrapped up the innings.
Three minutes before the break Conor Sammon wasted a glorious chance to put Killie ahead when, six yards out, he flapped at a cross from Ben Gordon and as he moved in to makes amends for his mis-kicked shot Gallacher somehow scrambled the ball to safety.
