P Krishna to P Patel, Good field placement. Short in length and wide outside off, Patel leans back and slaps it over backward point. The third man fielder is quite square and hence only a run.
P Krishna to P Patel, And again... Prasidh is bowling with a lot of fire and pace. Digs in another short delivery, Parthiv fails to middle his pull shot and is hit on the body once again.
P Krishna to P Patel, A pacey delivery, on the shorter side around leg at 143.3 kph, Patel is beaten in pace and is late into his pull shot. Cops a blow on his body.
P Krishna to P Patel, FOUR! Unlucky for the bowler. It's a perfect delivery to start your spell but there is no justice for the bowlers in this format. A cracking yorker on off, Patel digs it out at the last moment and it runs off the inside edge to fine leg. Kuldeep in the deep tries his best to pull it back with a dive but fails in his attempt.
Prasidh Krishna to bowl now.
S Narine to V Kohli, Kohli allows the ball to spin back in and flicks it off his back foot. But he finds the fielder standing to the right of the square leg umpire. Dot ball to finish yet another tidy over for Kolkata.
S Narine to P Patel, Slightly on the shorter side, Patel goes on the back foot and pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single.
S Narine to P Patel, Flatter and quicker on middle, defended off the back foot.
S Narine to V Kohli, The batsman works it down the leg side. One run added to the total.
S Narine to V Kohli, NOT OUT! Missing leg. Narine dishes out an off spinner, landing on middle and turning back in. Kohli plants his front foot forward as he reaches out for it to play it on the leg side. But he gets beaten by the inward spin and it hits him on the pads. They appeal but the umpire disagrees. Dinesh Karthik reviews but the replays show that it's missing leg. Eden Gardens roars, probably they forgot that Virat is in the opposition camp. Kolkata have lost their only review in the second over itself.
Big moment this! Review taken against Kohli as an LBW appeal is turned down. Looked like it was spinning too much and going down leg to the naked eye...
S Narine to V Kohli, Flighted full ball on off, Kohli flicks it with the spin through square leg for a couple of runs.
Spin from the other end! Sunil Narine to share the new ball.
H Gurney to P Patel, Stifled appeal for an lbw! Shaping back into the batsman with some extra bounce. Patel tries working it around but misses. They appeal but the umpire doesn't show much interest. Tidy start from Gurney.
H Gurney to V Kohli, Another delivery angling into the batsman, on middle and leg, Kohli flicks it in front of square leg and crosses.
H Gurney to V Kohli, Angles it into the batsman on middle and off, Virat defends it off his back foot.
H Gurney to V Kohli, EDGED BUT SHORT! Nervous beginning for the Bangalore skipper. Gurney once again delivers a slower delivery, a cutter around off at 115.1 kph, Kohli's bottom hand gets locked as he pushes inside the line and edges it behind. Luckily for him, it doesn't carry to first slip.
H Gurney to P Patel, Another delivery on the slower side and sliding down the leg side, Parthiv eases it off his pads to deep backward square leg for a single. Patel is off the mark!
H Gurney to P Patel, Wide! Bangalore are underway. Gurney serves a back of a length ball on leg and the angle takes it further down. Patel shuffles across while trying to glance it but misses.
H Gurney to P Patel, A slower delivery to start from Gurney. It's on a length outside off and holding up onto the batsman. Parthiv is early into his shot and pushes it a bit aerially in the direction of cover-point.
