The Punjab bowlers have done their job and they would surely expect their batters to do theirs. The Kolkata bowlers have their task cut out on a ground which is quite small and on a wicket which looks good. They will need wickets or it seems impossible for them to defend it. Punjab, on the other hand, will know, one partnership is all they need. If they bat sensibly, they will get to the target. Join us in a bit for the chase.

Murugan Ashwin is caught for a quick chat! On asked if there was turn on offer, Ashwin says that it wasn't turning at the start and feels they might have to go really hard in the first 10 overs. Says that the wrong 'un is coming off well. Tells that bowling full is not a good idea on this wicket.

A very good bowling effort from Punjab comes to an end! They had three within the first two overs courtesy Shami and Maxwell. Morgan and Gill then counter-attacked and blasted an 81-run stand which got Kolkata back in the game. Punjab though knew it was just the matter of one wicket before they could gain control of the game once again and that is exactly what happened. Bishnoi got Morgan and then the two leggies squeezed the runs and also picked up wickets. Gill was stranded at one end as he was not getting a lot of strike, he too perished when he tried to up the ante after his fifty. Ferguson did play a good cameo but one still feels that Kolkata are well under par.

15.4 overs (0 Run) OUT! LBW! Bishnoi gets his man. This looked to be going down but Cummins has to go because he cannot review it, because Karthik used it earlier. Another wrong 'un from Bishnoi. Cummins fails to read it again. He goes and looks to flick but misses as the ball turns in. He is hit on the pad and they all appeal. The finger goes up. Cummins thinks for the review but he doesn't have that option. They don't have the review left. And, replays roll in and it shows that the ball is going to miss the leg pole.

15.3 overs (0 Run) NOT OUT! It is going down leg! It was a poor review to be honest! It lands on middle and then turns in. It is the googly. Cummins looks to drive but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal but the umpire shakes his head. Rahul is not interested but Bishnoi wants the review to be taken. Rahul does so. Time for the replays and it shows the on-field call is the right one. Punjab lose a review.
