IPL 2019, KKR vs MI: Kolkata beat Mumbai by 34 runs

S Narine to de Kock, OUT! In the air... taken! De Kock is out of here and Narine strikes in his first over itself. Horror start for the visitors chasing this huge total. Not what they would have wanted. It's a mountain of a total to gun down and the Protea is a vital player for them. De Kock looks to play the sweep shot but there is extra bounce on this delivery. It takes the top edge and goes high up in the air towards square leg where Russell takes a good catch.

S Narine to de Kock, A little bit of turn there. It is pitched on off and then moves away. De Kock looks to force it through the off side but misses. Karthik too fails to collect it but no runs taken.

Sunil Narine to bowl from the other end.

S Warrier to R Sharma, FOUR! Boundary to finish the first over and it is a good start for Mumbai. Short and on the body, Rohit swivels and pulls it to the backward square leg fence.

S Warrier to R Sharma, Once again, that is right off the middle. Length and on off, Rohit guides it to point.

S Warrier to R Sharma, FOUR! Educational edge! First boundary for Mumbai. Another good delivery, length and around off, it shapes away. Rohit at the very end opens the face of the bat, the ball though goes off the outside edge and to the third man fence.

S Warrier to R Sharma, Continues bowling it on a length and around off, once again there is some outward movement. Rohit guides it to point.

S Warrier to de Kock, Good pace there! Bangs it a little short and bowls it on middle, De Kock looks to work it on the leg side but misses to get hit near the box. The ball rolls towards the off side and a leg bye is taken.

S Warrier to de Kock, Starts off with a full ball and it tails back in. De Kock works it to the man at mid-wicket. Hint of shape for the bowler. Encouraging signs!

We are back for the chase. The players and umpires are out in the middle. Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma will open the batting for Mumbai. Sandeep Warrier will start the proceedings for Kolkata.

This is a tall chase to say the least. It's going to be all about the start. A large part of the onus will be on de Kock and Rohit to get their side off to a flier and set the tone for the rest to come. The odds very much in Kolkata's favour, but we've seen crazy things happen in this sport. Let's see how the second half pans out.

Shubman Gill who's come in for a chat says he is very pleased with the way he has played. Mentions that it is a must-win game for them and they have played well. States that he is happy opening the batting. Further adds that Lynn and Narine have got them off to good starts but he is pleased that he got the opportunity. Reckons that his partnership with Lynn was very crucial. States that Russell is one of the best hitters and he can bat anywhere. Ends by saying that he is very happy with the total and he feels they can defend it.

Not much to talk about the Mumbai bowling when they've been smashed around for 232 runs. Nobody was spared, not even Bumrah. Everybody got taken for runs at some point and the wickets didn't come either to help them stem the run flow in any way. The first 10 overs leaked 97 runs, while the last 10 saw 135 being scored all around the park. This is a bowling display they'd like to forget soon enough.

What a monstrous batting display from Kolkata. Right from the word go, it's been bang-bang for them. Courtesy the top order, the hosts have managed to post the highest score of the season on the board. And all this has happened after they lost the toss. Being put into bat, Gill and Lynn started firing without much time and both scored their respective fifties in no time. The Kolkata brain trust decided to promote Russell to no.3 and that paid dividends, as he too clobbered his way to another lightning fifty, helping his side post a massive total on the board.

L Malinga to A Russell, SIX! That is why he did not want to take the single! Russell has smashed that into the stands with ease. Full and on off, Andre powers it over long off. 20 from the last over and the innings ends in style. KOLKATA FINISH WITH 232!

L Malinga to A Russell, No single taken again! Very full and outside off, almost a yorker. Russell jams it out towards deep point.

L Malinga to A Russell, The run has not been taken! Russell has decided he will be playing all the six balls here. This is full and on off, Russell smashes it towards long off.

L Malinga to A Russell, FOUR! Fortunate boundary this, Kolkata won't care though! Full and outside off, Russell once again swings. The ball takes the bottom edge and then bounces over the keeper and into the third man fence.

L Malinga to A Russell, FOUR! Through the off side, through the leg side, this guy is unstoppable. Full and outside off, Russell is down on one knee as he smashes it through covers.

L Malinga to A Russell, SIX! That is in the slot and it has been hit out of here. Malinga misses the yorker and it ends up being a full ball on the pads. Russell tonks it over the mid-wicket fence. Ideal start to the last over.
