Right then, Kolkata have a gigantic task in front of them. The equation for them before the start of the game was to win and win big to better their NRR than Delhi. Well, right now, their focus will be to just get those two points somehow. If the big-hitters of Kolkata click, we will be in a for a humdinger. Stick around for the second innings.

Nothing to write home about Kolkata's bowling. It was steady in the Powerplay but they never managed to exert any kind of pressure. Abhijeet Tomar was the one who dropped Quinton de Kock on 12 and he will be feeling the pressure in his debut game for Kolkata. Plenty of records were also made. 210 is the highest opening partnership ever in the history of the Indian T20 League, and also it's the first occasion of a team batting first and playing out all the 20 overs without losing a single wicket. Insane.

Once the period of caution was over, Quinton de Kock donned the avatar of the aggressor and brought carnage. With KL Rahul settling into the role of an anchor, de Kock cut loose and put the Kolkata bowlers to the sword. He notched up his second ton in the Indian T20 League, off just 59 balls, and made Kolkata pay heavily for the dropped catch. De Kock was on 12 then. All the limelight will be on Quinny, but one cannot undermine the value of Rahul's knock. His sublime season continues, and he completed 500 runs again - for the fifth consecutive edition.

A resounding batting show by Lucknow! They were blowing hot and cold recently, but this performance will put them in good stead for the remainder of the campaign. There was plenty of thinking about their batting this evening. The pitch is tricky, and Lucknow didn't go hammer and tongs in the first six overs. They batted with caution, built a platform and then constructed an empire of runs. If we divide this innings into four phases, 44 runs came in the Powerplay, 39 each in the next four and the following five overs, and a massive 88 in the remaining overs at the death. Violence.

19.6 overs (1 Run) Just a single to end. Russell angles this one at the body of de Kock who fails to get it away. De Kock gets an inside edge back onto the pads and the ball goes nowhere. They scamper through for one and Lucknow finish with 210/0 on the board!

19.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! This is one of the finest displays of batting one will see from Quinton de Kock. In the slot, around off. De Kock gets low and flat-bats it into the gap between long on and deep mid-wicket for the fourth boundary in a row.

19.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! The third boundary on the bounce, a bit streaky this time but Quinton de Kock won't mind at all. Back of a length, outside off. De Kock throws his hands at it and gets a top edge over short third man and the ball runs away into the fence.

19.3 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Dropped! A difficult chance goes begging and the 200 is up for Lucknow. Shorter in length, on leg stump. De Kock pulls it high towards the backward square leg fence. Nitish Rana runs to his right but can't hold on to the catch. The ball trickles into the fence. This is the highest ever stand in the League.

19.2 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Russell gets the wide yorker in, de Kock still manages to slice it behind point and picks up yet another boundary.

19.1 overs (2 Runs) Full and straight, drilled down the ground for a couple of runs.

18.6 overs (1 Run) Full and outside off, this is swept away in front of square on the leg side for a single. 27 from the over, a massive one!

18.6 overs (1 Run) WIDE! Southee tries the wide yorker from 'round the stumps but spills it beyond the tramline.

18.5 overs (6 Runs) SIX! A hat-trick of sixes and Quinton de Kock is taking Tim Southee to the cleaners! On a good length, around middle. This time de Kock swings a bit across the line and muscles it high and handsome over the cow corner fence.

18.4 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Three maximums in the over and there are still two balls to go! Southee pushes it wider but Quinton de Kock just swings his arms and launches it over the long on fence yet again.

18.3 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Another maximum and Lucknow are unstoppable at the moment! Southee just keeps on delivering it on a length and keeps on getting hit. This is on off, de Kock hits through the line of the ball and nails it over the long on fence.

18.2 overs (1 Run) Length again, around middle and leg, Rahul knocks it down the ground and rotates the strike.

18.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Cross-seamer from Southee but it's on a length and around off. KL Rahul hangs deep and whacks it right back over the bowler's head for a huge hit.

17.6 overs (1 Run) Russell keeps it on a hard length and outside off, Rahul punches it through extra cover for a single. 15 from the over!

17.5 overs (1 Run) Shorter and on the body, de Kock pulls it down to deep mid-wicket for a single.

17.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! HUNDRED FOR DE KOCK! Slower one, shorter in length and well outside off, De Kock just dabs it into the gap between backward point and short third man for a boundary. Sensational innings from the southpaw! De Kock is all pumped up, this century means a lot to him.

17.3 overs (2 Runs) Back of a length, on the body. De Kock tucks it away past square leg and races back for the second.

17.2 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Nothing delivery really from Dre Russ, on a length and on leg. Quinton de Kock gets a bit low and smokes it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. He is inching closer to his century.

17.1 overs (1 Run) Shortish delivery, over middle. Rahul heaves it down to wide long on for just a single. That brings up the 150 for Lucknow.

Andre Russell is back on.

16.6 overs (2 Runs) This is on a good length and well outside off. De Kock fetches it and pulls it in front of square on the leg side for a couple of runs.

16.5 overs (0 Run) Slower one, banged into the deck outside off. De Kock can only manage to toe-end it back to the bowler.

16.4 overs (1 Run) Delivers it on a length, around off, KL heaves it over mid-wicket for a run.

16.3 overs (1 Run) Misfield and that allows a single. This is slanted across the left-hander from Southee, de Kock tries to go hard but mistimes it towards extra cover. The fielder over there fumbles and the batters scamper through for one.

16.2 overs (1 Run) On a good length, outside off. Rahul punches it through cover-point for one.

16.1 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Clever from Rahul. This is around off, Rahul shuffles across the off stump and gets inside the line of the ball to scoop it past the keeper for a boundary.

Change in bowling. Tim Southee (2-0-21-0) returns to bowl at the death.
