14.2: Liam Livingstone to Andre Russell, SIX! Just the three needed! This guy is in his element today! What a knock, absolutely brutal! This is tossed up on off, Russell heaves it over the long off fence for a biggie.
14.1: Liam Livingstone to Sam Billings, Flatter and on middle, this is worked through mid-wicket for one.
13.6: Arshdeep Singh to Andre Russell, SIX! Russell is putting on a show! Shows his range this time and rifles a full ball over covers for a biggie. Raw power. Just 10 needed more.
13.5: Arshdeep Singh to Andre Russell, Swing and a miss! Arshdeep takes the pace off this one. Short and outside off, Russell is early into the shot and misses.
13.4: Arshdeep Singh to Andre Russell, Short and on middle, plundered to deep mid-wicket for a couple.
13.4: Arshdeep Singh to Andre Russell, FOUR! Russell fires a rocket. And it's a no ball as well for overstepping. FIFTY FOR DRE RUSS! Full toss around off, Andre Russell latches onto it and bludgeons it straight back. Arshdeep Singh takes cover as it whistles over his head and even Kagiso Rabada fails to stop it with a full-length dive from long off.
13.3: Arshdeep Singh to Sam Billings, Uses the angle of the bowler and eases it with good timing to long on. Takes a single.
13.2: Arshdeep Singh to Sam Billings, Singh comes from 'round the wicket and angles in a slower length ball on off, Billings defends it back.
13.1: Arshdeep Singh to Sam Billings, Bouncer around off, Sam drops his wrists and allows it through to the keeper.
12.6: Rahul Chahar to Andre Russell, Edged but safe! Loopy and full outside off, turning away, Andre Russell throws his bat at it but gets a thick outside edge. It goes on one bounce to short third man. Chahar has bowled out, 4-1-13-2!
12.5: Rahul Chahar to Andre Russell, Quicker one, around off, Russell winds up for a big heave but misses. The keeper breaks the stumps but Dre Russ has not ventured out from the crease.
12.5: Rahul Chahar to Andre Russell, Wide! Turning way outside off, Russell leaves it alone.
12.4: Rahul Chahar to Sam Billings, Flatter one, around middle, Sam moves back and turns it through mid-wicket for a single.
12.3: Rahul Chahar to Andre Russell, Around leg, fuller in length, it's helped behind square leg for one.
12.2: Rahul Chahar to Sam Billings, Gets on the front foot to a full ball and drives it to long off for a run.
12.1: Rahul Chahar to Andre Russell, Short in length and wide outside off, cut to deep cover for a run.
18.2: Andre Russell to Arshdeep Singh, OUT! RUN OUT! That is the end of the innings! Kolkata do keep Punjab under 150 as they are bowled out for 137, wasting 10 balls! Can't blame Smith here, he wanted the strike. Singh did not have the presence of mind. He guides it to point. Smith is off but Singh is late in taking off. Rana picks it up and throws it to the bowler who whips the bails off.
18.1: Andre Russell to Kagiso Rabada, OUT! WHAT A CATCH THAT IS! Brilliant! Take a bow, Tim Southee and the stand which was probably worrying Kolkata a little has been broken. Yet again a bowling change brings about a wicket, this time though it was compulsory. A slower one on middle, Rabada is early in the swing of his bat, he hits it high up in the air behind the bowler. Long on runs in, Southee from long off too sprints in and the bowler also goes for it. It seems like it would land safely but Southee dives after making a lot of ground and snaps it with a dive. Incredible.
17.6: Shivam Mavi to Odean Smith, SIX! Over the fence! Smith gets one over, not off the middle but he will take it. End of another big over and Punjab are well on track to getting to a competitive total. Shorter and on the body, Smith looks to pull, this flies off the top edge and goes over the fine leg fence. 17 from the over, 33 in the last two.
17.6: Shivam Mavi to Odean Smith, WIDE! Another one which is very short and very wide outside off. Smith tries to play the upper cut but misses.
17.5: Shivam Mavi to Odean Smith, That has just about missed the off pole! This lands on off and straightens. Smith swings but only connects with thin air. He is struggling to put the bat on the ball. He is on 3 off 11. Probably, he should just turn the strike over to Rabada.
17.5: Shivam Mavi to Odean Smith, WIDE! The idea was not bad though! Short and well wide outside off. Smith swings really hard but misses.
17.4: Shivam Mavi to Odean Smith, Swing and a miss! That was there in the slot! Angled into the pads, length. Smith looks to heave it but misses.
17.3: Shivam Mavi to Kagiso Rabada, He is clobbering it, just the one this time! Shorter and on middle, this is slapped down to long on for one.
17.2: Shivam Mavi to Kagiso Rabada, FOUR! EDGY! This one races away to the fence! Full and outside off, Rabada swings, it goes more off the toe-end and down to the third man fence. Punjab won't mind how they come, as long as they come. Now 150 also looks possible.
17.1: Shivam Mavi to Kagiso Rabada, FOUR! Slammed! Rabada is enjoying himself out there! What a knock this is from him! Stand and deliver! On middle, shorter. He stays leg-side of the ball and hammers it over the bowler's head for a boundary.
16.6: Tim Southee to Odean Smith, Two dots to end but the damage was done earlier on! A full ball outside off, Smith looks to hit it through covers but gets an inside edge onto the pads. 16 from the over!
16.5: Tim Southee to Odean Smith, A yorker, Smith looks to jam it out on the off side but it goes off the inner half back to the bowler.
16.4: Tim Southee to Kagiso Rabada, Just a single off the freebie! Gets it right, a yorker on middle, this is jammed down to long on for one. Not a bad result for Punjab as it gets Smith on strike.
16.4: Tim Southee to Kagiso Rabada, NO BALL! Pressure is getting to the experienced Southee! A high full toss from him outside off. Rabada looks to guide it but misses. Free Hit coming up as it was well over the waist.
16.3: Tim Southee to Kagiso Rabada, SIX! BANG! Over the fence! Rabada is the unsung hero here so far for Punjab. Needs to keep going though. Rabada makes room and this is full and on middle. He powers it over the bowler's head for a biggie.
16.2: Tim Southee to Kagiso Rabada, FOUR! Brilliant from Rabada again! This is right in the slot too, full and on off, Rabada lofts it over covers to fetch yet another boundary. Southee is bowling hit-me balls here.
16.1: Tim Southee to Kagiso Rabada, FOUR! Up and over! Lovely shot, very elegant and Punjab will love a few more. Full and outside off, his is lofted over covers for a boundary.
14.3: Liam Livingstone to Andre Russell, SIX! Russell finishes it off in style! Another powerful hit! Liam Livingstone drags his length back and bowls it shorter and on middle, this is pulled over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. KOLKATA WIN BY 6 WICKETS!
