IPL 2019, KKR vs KXIP: Kolkata beat Punjab by 28 runs

H Viljoen to R Uthappa, Lovely effort in the field! Uthappa delightfully strokes it through cover-point. Another boundary seems to be on the cards but Agarwal runs to his left, dives and saves two for his side.

H Viljoen to N Rana, Now does the sensible thing as he pushes this good ball down to long on for a single.

H Viljoen to N Rana, FOUR! 4,6,4 in this over so far! Rana is in some form out there. Through the off side this time. Full and outside off, this is driven square on the off side. No chance for any fielder.

H Viljoen to N Rana, SIX! 10 from the first two balls! Short and outside off, Rana stands tall and then flat-bats it over the long on fence. Also, the 100-run stand is up. 200 now looks possible courtesy this stand.

H Viljoen to N Rana, FOUR! Easy pickings! Down the leg side and Rana flicks it past short fine leg for a boundary. 50 for Rana, back-to-back fifties for him. Another excellent innings.

Hardus Viljoen is back.

M Singh to R Uthappa, Misses out! Width on offer outside off, Uthappa tries to play the square cut but misses. 18 from the over. Just to play five proper bowlers backfiring on Punjab.

M Singh to N Rana, The batsman works it down the leg side. They pick up a single.

M Singh to N Rana, SIX! This one is as flat as this pitch! Short and wide outside off, Rana reaches out for it and slaps it over the jumping deep cover fielder for a maximum. You just cannot afford to bowl that length, especially with that pace. Nitish is now the leading run-scorer this season.

M Singh to N Rana, SIX! This one is high and handsome! Mandeep runs in from 'round the wicket and angles in a short ball on off. Rana stays back and launches it over mid-wicket for a biggie.

M Singh to R Uthappa, The line is straight this time, better line with all the protection on the leg side, Uthappa turns it off his pads to deep mid-wicket for one.

M Singh to R Uthappa, FOUR! Mandeep with his gentle speed dares to bowl it short and wide outside off. Robin attacks it with all his power and whacks it through point.

Mandeep Singh to bowl.

R Ashwin to R Uthappa, A single to end another expensive over from Ashwin. 16 from it. Uthappa works this towards short fine leg and keeps strike. End of Ashwin for tonight, not a good day at the office for him. His figures read 4-0-47-0.

R Ashwin to N Rana, Now drags this ball through mid-wicket for a single.

R Ashwin to N Rana, SIX! Into the stands! Second in the over! This is tossed up wide outside off. Rana gets to free his arms, he connects really well and it sails over long off.

R Ashwin to N Rana, Looks to bowl wide outside off but bowls it outside the tramline. Pressure getting to the experienced campaigner as well.

R Ashwin to N Rana, SIX! A gift but it still has to be put away! A full toss and Rana deposits it into the mid-wicket stands with a slog sweep. A maximum of Ashwin's each over seems to be mandatory tonight.

R Ashwin to R Uthappa, Well played there! Uthappa has guided that late and off the stumps towards short third man for a single.

R Ashwin to R Uthappa, On the stumps, Uthappa looks to make room and slap it but only manages an inside edge back to the bowler.
