    4.2 And Siraj gets the breakthrough! Phil's stunning assault comes to an end. This is full around leg and he looks for the flick, but hits it straight to deep midwicket. Salt's trudging off but that was a brilliant innings 56/1
    5.2 Slices it high in the air and it falls to Virat Kohli at long-on! Back-of-hand slower ball outside off, Narine ends up slicing it as he goes downtown. Kohli holds on above head height. RCB planned well for Narine today and it came off as well! 66/2
    5.6 Oh, wat a stunner by Cameron Green! Raghuvanshi looks to flick away a full ball angling into him. The ball is hit well over the fielder, and not many other than Green would have got their hands to it. But Green has big buckets and sticks his right arm out with momentum already taking him backwards and somehow holds on as he falls over. What a way to close out the powerplay. 75/3
    8.2 Hooked to deep square leg! Green bangs it in short and into Venkatesh and he gets a top edge. Lomror makes no mistake and Green has his man after being hit for a boundary 97/4
    17.2 Blinder by Faf du Plessis! Shreyas picked the bones out of this length ball as he smacks it down the ground. He hit it hard, and flat, and Faf du Plessis moving to his left from long-off gets low and gets his body behind it and hold on safe! Ends a good knock. Important wicket at the back end 179/6
    13.1 Straight to short fine leg! Lockie digs it in back of a length, taking the pace off. Rinku looks to hook it fine on the leg side and ends up getting it off the glove and straight to the fielder. Ferguson has some redemption 137/5

    2.1 Caught and bowled but is it a no-ball? Much like what happened with Russell on his first ball. But did this dip enough? Rana runs in and slips in a slow full toss. Looked to come at an awkward height as Kohli went for an evasive action before trying to defend. Ends up getting the leading top edge towards the bowler. Kohli immediately signalled for the review but it is already an umpire's review. Kohli is not happy as he walks back as the TV ump has given him out. He was outside the batting crease when he made contact. Also, the Hawk-Eye's trajectory did suggest it went below his waist. Not sure if Kohli showing displeasure is right. But KKR can well celebrate. Smart stuff from Rana 27/1
    3.1 Venky Iyer takes a stunner! He has his arms wide as he gathers himself after getting up on his feet. KKR celebrates with Eden Gardens roaring. Flatter length ball, spinning in to du Plessis, who hacks it down the ground. Mid-on quickly moves to his left, dives and plucks it 35/2
    11.1 In Dre Russ Eden Gardens - and KKR - believe! Strikes first ball to get the dangerous Jacks. Bowls a full ball around off, almost like a hit-me ball. Jacks clears his front leg and goes downtown but only finds long-on on the ropes 137/3
    11.4 Dre Russ is a magician! Nonchalantly walks in to the bowling crease and nips out two set batters one after the other. Bowls it full on middle. Patidar has been smoking them out of the park all evening, But Russell has rolled his fingers on this one. As a result, the batter is a tad early into his hack across the line. Gets a top edge that is swallowed by backward point. Has Russell effectively killed the chase? 138/4
    12.3 Narine has the last laugh and RCB are now losing wickets in a hurry. Shortens his length a touch as he bowls another offspinner around middle and leg. Green makes room to go over deep midwicket but finds Ramandeep stationed there. Narine looks long at Green and pumps his fist 151/5
    17.2 That is high and not long! Rana once again comes alive at the death. Points his index finger in celebration, towards his captain possibly. Slower one, full in length on the stumps. Prabhudessai looks to go downtown but hits it to long-on where Raghuvanshi makes no mistake. RCB botting this 187/7
    12.6 Easy peasy for Narine! How can you keep him out of action for long? Slips it a carrom ball around leg, Lomror looks to turn it across but chips it back to the bowler. RCB digging a hole for themselves here... 155/6
    18.6 Russell has done it for KKR! Karthik tries to be cute but it does not work against Dre Russ' slower one. He knew fine leg was up, so went across the stumps to the length ball to hit it over the fielder in the ring. But it is the slower one, and DK's early with his attempt. Gets a top edge off the toe end. Salt, with the gloves, calls it, runs to square leg and takes it. Russell knows how big a wicket that is 202/8
    19.5 Terrific catch from Starc in his follow-through! Karn is on his haunches. Siraj has run all the way to the other end. Low full toss just outside off, Karn smacks it right back, but off the toe end. Starc gets low down in his follow-through and it sticks in his right hand. He has his arm aloft. Another twist! 220/9

    19.6 Is Ferguson run-out? Or are we in for Super Over? Ferguson is well short and KKR sneak home! Starc went around the wicket and bowled a very full one outside off, he squeezed it through cover. The sweeper fielded the ball and returned a wide throw - that Pommie Mbangwa on-air termed "rubbish" - to Salt, who did well to collect it and dive on the stumps. Scenes at the Eden Gardens! 221/10
