Strategic Time-Out! Despite losing Devdutt Padikkal at the very end of the Powerplay, this has been a very good passage of play for Bangalore. They have scored runs at a brisk pace and would look to continue. For Kolkata, they need to chip wickets at regular intervals to pile pressure on Bangalore. Shakib Al Hasan is back into the attack.

The Kiwi speeds in from 'round the wicket and lands it on a length outside off at 149 kph, Devdutt Padikkal stands back to whack it through the line but it takes the inner portion of his blade and cannons onto the stumps. The 49-run opening stand has been broken and Kolkata would be feeling a lot better now.
