5 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one goes down, it is Rahane now and it has been a good start for Bangalore! Siraj bangs it short on middle. Rahane hangs back and pulls it. However, he fails to get enough distance and ends up finding Shahbaz Ahmed at deep square leg. He takes a good catch and Bangalore will look to build pressure on Kolkata now with two early wickets. 32/2

| Venkatesh Iyer | 10 | 14 | 1 | 0 | 71.42 |
|
3.1 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! What a start for Akash Deep! Venkatesh Iyer was not looking comfortable in the middle and finally departs now. Back of a length, on middle. Iyer is slightly early as he looks to work it towards the leg side. The ball also hurries him a bit as that bounced sharply. It takes the shoulder of his bat and goes in the air towards the leg side and Akash Deep off his own bowling speeds to his left and takes a fine running catch. Bangalore have been spot on right from the word go today! 14/1

| Shreyas Iyer C | 13 | 10 | 2 | 0 | 130 |
|
6.4 OUT! Shreyas holes out! Wicket number 4 goes down for Kolkata and they are staring down the barrel. A very ordinary shot selection from the skipper given the condition of his team. Loopy and full, landing close to off, Shreyas attacks it and tries to power it over long on. He though doesn't get the elevation and it's a simple catch for Faf du Plessis in the deep. Bangalore are all over Kolkata at the moment. 46/4

| Nitish Rana | 10 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 200 |
|
5.5 OUT! Excellent running catch from David Willey and Kolkata lose their third wicket. Nitish Rana once again attempts to take on the bowler with his pull shot but gets dismissed. Akash Deep digs it in short, around off at 140 clicks, Rana's pull shot only fetches a top edge and the ball flies behind square leg. David Willey is stationed at short fine leg, he immediately runs across to his right and completes the catch with a slide. Brilliant work, Kolkata are in early trouble. 44/3

| Sunil Narine | 12 | 8 | 1 | 1 | 150 |
|
8.5 OUT! CAUGHT AT POINT! Hasaranga has two and Kolkata have now lost half their side. The Lankan dishes out a fuller delivery, turning away, Narine rocks back to heave it over the leg side but gets a top edge instead. It loops tamely towards point and Akash Deep takes the simplest of catches. Akash has been in the thick of things this evening. Kolkata in tatters! 67/5

| Sam Billings | 14 | 15 | 0 | 1 | 93.33 |
|
11.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Harshal Patel strikes in his first over! Kolkata batters keep going for their shots and keep throwing their wickets away. A shorter delivery around off. Billings goes for a horizontal bat shot as he looks to pull it. The ball goes off the top edge of his blade towards long on and Virat Kohli there takes an easy catch. Kolkata needed Billings to bat deep but unfortunately for them, it all comes down to Russell now. 83/7

| Sheldon Jackson Wk | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
9 OUT! SOUND OF TIMBER! Wanindu Hasaranga is on fire! A well-disguised googly from him, it lands on a fuller length around off and seeing that Sheldon Jackson commits himself forward for a booming cover driver. The ball though pitches, turns the other way, beats the inside half of his bat and shatters the stumps. Completely bamboozled the batter with his variation. 67/6

| Andre Russell | 25 | 18 | 1 | 3 | 138.88 |
|
13.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The pressure of dot balls induces a false shot and Harshal Patel gets his second wicket. This is a big wicket for Bangalore and now, Kolkata will surely struggle to cross even 120 here. This is shorter and outside off. Andre Russell makes room and looks to cut but gets an outside edge. The ball goes back to the keeper and Dinesh Karthik takes an easy catch to send his former teammate back to the pavilion. 99/8

| Tim Southee | 1 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 20 |
|
14.3 OUT! CAUGHT! It is all going against Kolkata now, Wanindu Hasaranga gets his fourth wicket! Smart captaincy by Faf du Plessis to bring Wanindu Hasaranga back on. This is flatter and quicker on middle, Tim Southee looks to go big towards the leg side. He completely miscues it and the ball goes in the air towards long on. Faf du Plessis there takes an easy catch and the 9th wicket goes down for Kolkata. 101/9

| Umesh Yadav | 18 | 12 | 2 | 1 | 150 |
|
18.5 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Akash Deep nails a yorker and cleans him up! Akash Deep decides to go with his pacy delivery and bowls a yorker on leg. Umesh Yadav goes for a big heave across the line but misses. The ball clips his pads and shatters the stumps. It has been a handy little knock from Umesh Yadav but still a below-par total for Kolkata. They are all out for 128! 128/10

2 OUT! CAUGHT! Two wickets have gone down and Kolkata won't go down without presenting a fight. Fantastic delivery by Southee, he serves it on a length around middle at 131.7 kph. It lands and straightens a touch as du Plessis stays back to work it on the leg side. The ball catches the leading edge and flies straight into the hands of Ajinkya Rahane at backward point. 17/2

0.3 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Perfect start for Kolkata and once again Umesh Yadav has provided them with an early breakthrough. The speedster cooks a lovely outswinger, lands it on a length and outside off. Anuj Rawat stays back to push inside the line but it takes the outside edge and Sheldon Jackson takes a simple catch stretching to his left. 1/1

| Virat Kohli | 12 | 7 | 2 | 0 | 171.42 |

2.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A body blow to Bangalore as King Kohli falls. Game on, folks! Umesh Yadav is having a tremendous season already. Hurls it across on a good length and outside off at 136.5 kph and it shapes away off the seam. Kohli takes his front foot forward and has a feel for it inside the line. Ends up getting a thick outside edge and Sheldon Jackson takes yet another easy catch behind the wickets. Bangalore are in a spot of bother. 112 needed off 107 balls. 17/3

| David Willey | 18 | 28 | 3 | 0 | 64.28 |

11 OUT! Soft dismissal! The change of gloves didn't work for Willey. Flatter through the air, a touch short and on middle, Willey goes deep inside the crease and tries to punch it across the line. He fails to get the timing right and it's an easy catch for Nitish Rana at mid-wicket. The 45-run stand has been broken and Kolkata have an opening. 67 needed off 54 balls. 62/4

17.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Ohh...a moment of magic from Sheldon Jackson! Kolkata needed this kind of effort and now we have a real game on our hands. Sherfane Rutherford walks back. Southee lands it on a length, around middle and off. Sherfane Rutherford looks to pull it away but gets an inside edge. The ball goes to the right of Sheldon Jackson. It was dipping in front of him but he dives to take a great low catch. 22 needed now from 16 balls. 107/6

| Shahbaz Ahmed | 27 | 20 | 0 | 3 | 135 |

16 OUT! STUMPED! This time, Varun Chakaravarthy foxes him and gets a wicket off the last ball of his spell! It is pitched around off and he just pulls his length back a bit as he sees Shahbaz Ahmed coming down the track. It turns away and beats the attempted hoick of Shahbaz Ahmed. Sheldon Jackson collects the ball behind the stumps and whips the bails off. Shahbaz Ahmed is well out of his crease. Is there hope for Kolkata? 101/5

However, he fails to get the timing on that one and the ball goes in the air behind mid off. Andre Russell at mid off runs behind and to his left and takes a fantastic catch. What a catch and what a over this has been. 111/7
