9.4 overs (0 Run) Slightly quicker this time, full and on off, once again Rahul drives it straight to covers. Two dots.

8.6 overs (1 Run) On the pads, quicker one again, Iyer clips it to deep mid-wicket and jogs across to the other end. 10 from this over!

Strategic Time-Out! This has been a good start by Kolkata as they are playing well and are on their way to a good total if they continue in the same manner. Yes, they did lose Gill, but Rahul Tripathi and Venkatesh Iyer are doing well to keep the scoreboard ticking. They have a plethora of batting talent in their ranks as well. Punjab, meanwhile, will be looking to break this stand as Kolkata have started gaining momentum and then keep taking regular wickets to keep the pressure on.

7.6 overs (2 Runs) Ravi Bishnoi goes quicker through the air, it's short and wide outside off, Iyer cracks it to deep point for two. 8 from Bishnoi's first over.

7.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Clever placement. Identical to the last delivery, this time Venkatesh Iyer stays back and plays late. He opens the face of the bat to place it through the gap between short third man and backward point. Fabulous!

7.4 overs (0 Run) Short and outside off, Venkatesh Iyer cuts but finds the point fielder.
