Time for some spin. Sunil Narine is on now.
These two have done well for Chennai so far. They have got the occasional boundaries to keep the asking rate under check. Their first aim would be to bat together till the Powerplay and then make their next move. Kolkata cannot afford a good opening stand.
2.6 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Watson just missed the spydercam outside the boundary ropes there. Fullish ball around off, Watson heaves that over square leg. Fine leg gives chase but the ball beats him and races into the boundary. Almost took the spidercam after getting inside the ropes as well!
2.5 overs (0 Run) Full and around off, Watson glances it to short mid-wicket.
2.4 overs (1 Run) On middle, tucked in front of square leg for a single.
2.4 overs (5 Runs) FIVE WIDES! Ruturaj comes down the crease, Cummins sees that and bangs it in short. But it was too short, goes over the batsman, the keeper and into the fine leg boundary. Wide signalled by the umpire as well.
2.3 overs (0 Run) On a length around off, Gaikwad hops and keeps that out.
2.2 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! WOW! Crunched that. Ruturaj gives himself room on the off side, it was a good length ball around off, he strokes it firmly through the covers and bags a boundary.
2.1 overs (0 Run) On a good length on the stumps, defended to the off side.
1.6 overs (0 Run) 7 runs from the second over. The last ball is a dot. Length ball around off, Watson stands tall and drives but straight to mid off.
1.5 overs (0 Run) Full and around off, clipped to the leg side.
1.4 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Cracking shot! Length ball, not that bad a delivery, Watson swivels quickly and pulls it handsomely over deep square leg.
1.3 overs (0 Run) Nagarkoti bangs it short but the ball does not bounce much. Keeps low outside off, Watson looks to play it inside the line but is surprised by how low that ball went by.
1.2 overs (1 Run) Full and outside off, Ruturaj leans in and drives it through point for one.

0.5 over (0 Run) Good length ball around off, tucked towards cover-point.
0.4 over (1 Run) Full and around off, Ruturaj is off the mark as well. Defensively nudges this to wide mid off and takes one.
