7.3 OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! Maheesh Theekshana strikes! He gets Rahmanullah Gurbaz for the 5th time in T20s. Floated, full and on off. Gurbaz goes down for the slog sweep but has to drag it a bit and ends up hitting it much flatter. The ball flies straight towards deep mid-wicket, where Shimron Hetmyer takes a good catch. Gurbaz departs after a quick-fire 35 off 25, and KKR are two down now! 69/2

2 OUT! BOWLED'EM! KNOCKED HIM OVER! An early wicket for RR as the dangerous Sunil Narine departs cheaply! A length-delivery from Yudhvir, this is the off-cutter that grips on the surface, nipping slightly away. Sunil Narine opens his stance and shapes to pull, but plays all over the wrong line and very early too. Also, due to the lack of bounce, the ball beats the inside edge and clips into the top of middle. Sunil Narine departs on 11 (9). KKR are 13/1. 13/1

12.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Ajinkya Rahane was struggling after that cramp and just couldn't get going! A round-arm delivery, drifted outside the off stump, from around the stumps, on a fuller length. Ajinkya Rahane premeditates it and crouches a bit to play the sweep shot. Doesn't fully go down on his knee to play the shot and gets a faint leading edge of the bat. Dhruv Jurel behind the stumps takes a sharp catch. Parag strikes and breaks the 42-run stand. KKR are 111/3 now. 111/3

18.1 OUT! TAKEN! Jofra Archer strikes! He bowls the back-of-the-hand slower one, on a length and around leg. Angkrish Raghuvanshi looks to hook it over short fine but gets a bit of a top edge. The ball flies high towards deep square leg. Ashok Sharma (Sub) runs to his right, settles under it, and takes a good catch. Raghuvanshi departs for a well-made 44 off 31, and KKR are 172/4! 172/4

7 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! CAUGHT! A huge, huge wicket for KKR as Jaiswal departs now! Moeen Ali is on a roll at Eden Gardens as he strikes for the second time in two overs. He offers the ball on a flatter trajectory, in front of the stumps, on a fuller length. Yashasvi Jaiswal clears the front leg and attempts to hoist it over long on, but does not quite get the bat underneath the ball. Goes through the shot, but more off the toe end of the bat. The ball sails only as far as Rinku Singh at long on. He runs forward and takes a good low catch. Yashasvi Jaiswal departs on 34 (21). RR are 66/3 now, in deep trouble. 66/3

0.4 OUT! TAKEN SUPERBLY! Skipper Ajinkya Rahane leading from the front! Vaibhav Arora lands this one back of a length and around off, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi stays back and looks to pull it away but gets it more from the upper half of the bat. The ball goes miles up in the air behind mid-wicket. Rahane covers a lot of ground running backward and dives to take a stunning catch with both his hands in his front. He is pumped up, and why not, as they get the dangerous Vaibhav Sooryavanshi cheaply here. He departs on 4 (2). 5/1

1.5 OUT! TAKEN! Moeen Ali gets his man this time! No need for a review here! Slows it up, full and on middle, turns away a bit. Kunal Singh Rathore goes down again for the slog sweep, but all he manages to get is a top edge as he goes to play against the turn into the on side. The ball goes high up in the air and Andre Russell from mid on runs forward and takes a simple catch. KSR fails to make use of the reprieve given to him and goes back for a five-ball duck. RR are 9/2 now, needing another 198 runs to win. 8/2

17.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! That is probably the match for KKR! Riyan Parag departs for a sensational 95 (45). Another slower ball from Rana, on a nagging length, around off, Riyan Parag is a bit early into the shot as he looks to take on the long on fielder. Hits it off the toe end of the bat and sails flat in the air, but straight into the hands of Vaibhav Arora at long on. He makes no mistake with the straightforward catch. 173/7

7.3 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! A PEACH OF A DELIVERY FROM VARUN! And the Royals' innings is going nowhere! Varun stays over the stumps and dishes out a googly, it is that full delivery, landing it around off, on a fullish length. It pitches on one of those cracks and sharply turns back into the right-hander. Dhruv Jurel strides across to block the ball, but is beaten all ends up as he fails to pick the wrong'un. The ball beats the bat and crashes into the stumps. A golden duck for Jurel and Rajasthan Royals have now slipped to 71/4. 71/4

7.5 OUT! A DOUBLE WHAMMY FOR CHAKARAVARTHY! Half of the RR side is into the dugout now. Another deceptive googly from Varun Chakaravarthy, landing on the fuller length and then turning back sharply into the batter. Wanindu Hasaranga is completely flummoxed by the delivery and fails to play the wrong'un. With bare minimum footwork, he tries to block the ball, but it sneaks through the bat and pad gap to rattle the timber in a flash. 71/5

| Shimron Hetmyer | 29 | 23 | 1 | 1 | 126.08 |

15.5 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! A wicket at a godsent time for KKR. Harshit Rana with that breakthrough as he ends this 92-run stand. He bowls a surprise bumper, on the head height of the batter. It lands and gets big on Hetmyer, who tries to play the pull shot aerially. Instead, the ball passes close to the bat and deflects in the air, off his helmet. It sails back towards the short third region where Sunil Narine takes a safe catch. However, it has been instantly reviewed by Shimron Hetmyer! He believes that the ball has not hit the bat and has been directly lobbed off the helmet. UltraEdge comes up now and shows a clear spike when the ball passes close to the bat. Shimron Hetmyer will have to walk back and Rajasthan Royals are 163/6 now, needing 44 off 25 balls 163/6

20 OUT! RUN OUT! WHAT A DRAMATIC END TO THIS HEART-STOPPING CLASH IN KOLKATA! A precise yorker, on the stumps, from around the stumps, Shubham Dubey clears the front leg and carves it out to the mid off region. The batters charge for the first run and they turn back around for the second, but the fielder from long off is quick to run towards the ball. It is Rinku Singh who hares forward and collects the ball. The throw is released flat and perfectly towards the bowler. Vaibhav Arora collects the ball around his waist height and breaks the stumps, with Archer out by a country mile. KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS WIN BY 1 RUN! 205/8
