We are back for the chase! The players are out in the middle. Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul will open the batting for Lucknow.

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Now then, Bangalore have posted a humongous total on the board. But we all know the pitch here in Kolkata is an absolute belter and we cannot count Lucknow out of this chase. Stay tuned for the second essay!

Rajat Patidar (112* off 44) is down for a chat. He says he is feeling good, the team is happy, and informs the wicket was good to bat on. Says the target is big and they need to bowl tight to defend this. Adds that he was just trying to time it well. Tells that he wasn't targeting a century but giving his team a good finish.

Well for Lucknow, they have only themselves to blame! After electing to bowl first, they got the prized scalp of Faf du Plessis in the first over. But they leaked runs in the Powerplay. They fought back well by grabbing a few wickets in the middle phase, but they no answers to the power-hitting displayed by Rajat Patidar. Amidst all the carnage, Mohsin Khan was the pick of the bowlers he grabbed one wicket and gave away just 25 runs, while all the other bowlers were taken to the cleaners. It's up to the batters now! They have enough firepower in their ranks and can chase this down.

Bangalore's innings was all about one man, Rajat Patidar! It felt like he was playing a different game altogether! Everything that he touched, turned to gold and as a result, he notched up his century. Not to forget the cameo by Dinesh Karthik that eventually helped Bangalore cross the 200 mark. After losing Faf du Plessis early, Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar recovered well and put up a good show in the Powerplay. However, Virat Kohli perished soon after, Glenn Maxwell was dismissed for a timid score as well. They did lose their way in the middle, but the partnership between Rajat Patidar and Dinesh Karthik made sure Bangalore finished with plenty of runs on the board.

Phew! What an end to this innings! 84 runs off the last 5 overs, a partnership of 92 runs off 41 balls from Dinesh Karthik and Rajat Patidar has guided Bangalore to a mammoth total of 207! It's been a treat for all the fans at Eden Gardens, they have witnessed a stupendous batting show here. Absolute carnage! A tough task ahead for Lucknow.
