5.2 OUT! Oh dear! That's really unlucky for Lynn but Punjab will take that with both the hands! Short of a length ball, angling into the batsman, who swivels across to pull that. He can't put bat to ball and gets hit on the thigh pad. The ball pops up and hits his gloves and just kisses the top of off stump. Important breakthrough for Punjab as Lynn had started to cut loose. 53/1

11.3 OUT! GONE!! Tye provides a wicket to Punjab. Narine looked in terrific knick and threatened to take the game away from the home team. Though, he has still inflicted enough damage! Short ball from Tye, much slower in pace. Narine is early into the pull and gets a thick edge through to the keeper. Rahul takes a simple catch. Narine gets out after registering his highest score in the Indian T20 League. 128/2

11.5 OUT! Tye strikes for the second time in this over! Two wickets for Punjab and they are slowly clawing their way back in the game! Slower ball from Tye once again does the trick. He serves it on a length outside off and Uthappa tries to reach it. He goes for the square cut but ends up slicing it to the point region. Mohit inside the circle takes a safe catch. 129/3

17 OUT! Top edge and taken! Rahul calls for it and he makes no mistake whatsoever! Short ball from Tye, angling in from outside off, Russell goes across to pull that, he was rushed by that one and only manages a top edge behind the wickets on the leg side. Rahul runs across to his left and pouches it safely. End of a breezy cameo from Russell. 205/4

19.2 OUT! Sran strikes but more importantly it's a dot ball for Punjab! Sran pulls his length back and the ball skids through after pitching. Karthik looks to pull that. He gets a top edge which flies to long off. Miller (substitute) in the deep takes another safe catch. End of a wonderful knock from the Kolkata skipper. 230/6

17.5 OUT! Miller holds on to a skier! Kolkata lose their fifth wicket but does it matter at this stage? No is the answer to it! Another slower ball from Mohit well outside off, Rana has to reach out for it and can't get enough power in the shot. He top edges the heave to long off. Miller (sub) runs in from the deep and takes it safely. 218/5

9 OUT! Oh dear, an unfortunate dismissal! Narine though will take it with open arms. He has won this battle. The bowlers always do as they get multiple attempts to bowl at the batsman. The legendary off spinner Muralitharan once said, if a batsman hits me for five sixes in a row and I get him out on the sixth ball, it's me who has won the battle. Don't know if this argument holds true in this format or not. Okay now, coming to the delivery. It's a carrom ball around leg from round the wicket angle. Rahul kneels to slog it over the leg side but gets an inside edge onto the pads. It then spins back through his legs to disturb the stumps. A brilliant knock comes to a sad end. Can Punjab still believe? 93/4

5.4 OUT! GONE! Massive appeal for caught behind and this time umpire raises his finger! Huge success for Kolkata, they know the importance of this wicket and their celebrations are the proof of it! Sharp nut from Russell, it is short and quick from him, Gayle goes for the pull but ends up getting a feather touch on it and Karthik completes a regulation catch. Punjab lose their first wicket. 57/1

5.5 OUT! Deemed as a legal delivery and that's the second wicket down for the home team! Agarwal goes for a blob! Russell gets two in two, he is now on a hat-trick! That is such an irresponsible stroke from the young man! A well directed bumper from Russell, Mayank can't get on top of the bounce as he pulls. He top edges it to deep square leg, where Searles takes it safely. The umpire checks upstairs for the front foot fault first and then they checked the height of that delivery. All legal and Agarwal has to walk back. 57/2

8 OUT! Russell gets his third wicket! Krishna just manages to hold on to it. Off cutter from Russell on the stumps, Nair goes down the track and looks to loft that over the long on fence. He doesn't make desired contact and hits it flat to Krishna, who gets into position quickly but the ball nearly bursts through his hand. He somehow hangs on to it with left hand and has a smile on his face. Knows that he almost made a mess there. Punjab lose another important wicket. 79/3

15.2 OUT! Searles gets his man, innovation isn't Finch's strength and he departs attempting one of those innovative strokes. A low full toss on the off stump line from Searles and Finch looks to just use the pace of the bowler. He ends up playing it too square than he wanted. Kuldeep inside the circle takes a good low catch at short fine leg. Is that it for Punjab? They need 90 off 28 balls. 156/6

12 OUT! Axar holes out! Yadav hurls across a flighted full ball outside off, spinning away just a shade, Patel targets the long off stand but this time he fails to middle his shot properly. As a result, there is more height than distance on this one. Searles in the deep times his jump to perfection as he takes the catch safely. Another one bites the dust for Punjab and their chase has fallen flat on its face. 119/5

19.3 OUT! Plumb in front! Easy decision for the umpire though he took his time before raising his finger eventually. It is a pitched up delivery on middle and leg stump line, Ashwin camps back and looks to heave that one across the line. He misses it completely. The ball hits him flush on the knee roll, the unprotected area. Krishna appeals and gets his second wicket. Ashwin looks in some pain and the Kolkata skipper is trying to help him out. End of a gutsy knock from the home captain. 210/8

19.1 OUT! Acrobatic effort from Karthik, he pulls off a stunner and sends Tye packing into the hut! Short of a length ball down the leg side, Tye swivels across and attempts the pull shot. He gloves it to the keeper, who flew to his left and takes a blinder. He doesn't even bother to appeal, just raises his hand and looks at the umpire and gets the signal in his favor. 209/7
