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

K Yadav to M Agarwal, Excellent start by KY. Only 4 singles from this over. The last ball has been hit down to long off for a run.

K Yadav to S Khan, Now fires this full and on the stumps, Khan jams it out towards long on for a single.

K Yadav to S Khan, Clever bowling! Kuldeep knows Sarfaraz wants to sweep so he is bowling it quicker and outside off. Khan looks to cut but misses.

K Yadav to M Agarwal, Another googly and it is short and outside off, Mayank hits it through covers and takes a single.

K Yadav to S Khan, Edgy runs! The googly from Kuldeep and Sarfaraz looks to sweep against the turn. It goes off the top edge towards third man for a run.

K Yadav to S Khan, Flatter and outside off, the batter slaps it through covers for a run.

P Krishna to S Khan, Strokes it in the gap on the off side for one. 51/2 in the Powerplay, they needed way better than this effort!

P Krishna to M Agarwal, Played to the point region by the batsman. They crossed.

P Krishna to S Khan, Pushed to the cover region by the batsman. They pick up a single.

P Krishna to S Khan, Gets forward to a full ball and blocks.

P Krishna to S Khan, Defended off the front foot by the batsman presenting the full face of the bat.

What happened there? Dinesh Karthik and Robin Uthappa are having an animated chat with the umpires. All the Kolkata players have surrounded there. Not sure what's the issue... Now we know! After the last ball, the fielder threw it casually over the bowler and Russell didn't back it up at mid on as he probably lost the ball in the floodlights. The ball went past the rope. So, it's 5 runs on 5.1. The argument that DK was putting was that the ball became dead once the run was completed and it should not have been counted as overthrows. Anyway, let's move on.

P Krishna to M Agarwal, Goes short and follows the batsman. MA drops it towards cover and crosses. Do read the next update for all the drama that followed...

Prasidh Krishna changes ends.

A Russell to M Agarwal, Another single to end a successful over by Russell. This is worked around the corner for a run.

A Russell to S Khan, Sensible batting! Follows the boundary with a single towards cover.

A Russell to S Khan, FOUR! Clever shot! Short and on middle, Sarfaraz at the very end arches his back and then upper cuts it. Uses the pace of the bowler and fetches a boundary in the fine leg region.

A Russell to S Khan, Length delivery around middle, this one comes back in a little. Khan looks to flick but misses to get hit high on the pads.

Sarfaraz Khan is in next.

A Russell to C Gayle, OUT! In the air... taken! Russell gets the big man. Did it with the bat first and now with the ball. Too quick this for Gayle. It is short and on the body. Gayle looks to pull but the ball hurries onto him. It hits the higher portion and then balloons back over the bowler's head. Now there are two fielders going after it, one from mid off and the other from mid on. No calling between the two. However, they avoid the collision and Prasidh from mid off takes it. Russell strikes straightaway and now chasing this target is going to be an uphill task for the batters to come.
