IPL 2019, KKR vs RCB: Bangalore beat Kolkata by 10 runs

M Stoinis to A Russell, Wide! Stoinis tries for the same ball again but this time Russell evades it this time. Wided! 42 off 11.

M Stoinis to A Russell, Excellent ball under pressure! Full on the pads, Russell leaves it thinking it would be a wide but the ball takes the pad and goes fine on the leg side. Runs can't be taken as there was no shot offered. Dot ball! 43 off 11.

43 needed off 12 balls. Last time against Bangalore, Kolkata needed 30 off 12 balls and Russell finished it with five balls remaining. What's the script today? Marcus Stoinis to bowl the all-important over...

D Steyn to N Rana, FOUR! Rana finds the fence once more. Third time in this over! A half-volley outside off, Rana lofts it over covers. This is excellent batting by this young southpaw. What an innings this has been. Will it end in a winning way though for Kolkata?

D Steyn to N Rana, Swing and a miss! A length ball outside off, Rana shuffled and looked to hit it over mid-wicket but failed to put bat on ball. Dot ball! 47 needed in 13 now.

D Steyn to N Rana, SIX! Second of the innings and Steyn is going for runs too. A half-volley on middle, Rana lifts this powerfully for a huge one over the bowler's head. Goes way behind the sightscreen.

D Steyn to N Rana, Goes uppishly through covers this time. A couple of runs are taken. Rana did not time that well but still manages to pick up two.

D Steyn to N Rana, SIX! Full outside off, Rana reaches out and smashes the ball over the head of mid off. The ball clears the rope!

D Steyn to N Rana, Fuller outside off, Rana drives this one but finds extra cover. Single not available. Excellent result for Bangalore, dot ball.

Dale Steyn to bowl the 18th over of the innings.

M Siraj to N Rana, NOT OUT! Easily in. Back of a length delivery on off, Rana mistimes his shot this time, towards mid off and rushes to the other end. Steyn comes up with a direct hit at the striker's end and the square leg umpire goes upstairs. The replays find Andre safely in. 15 from the over, 61 needed off 18 balls.

Direct hit at the striker's end! Is Andre Russell short? Massive, massive moment in this run chase...

M Siraj to A Russell, A mishit from Russell, he sends it down to long on for a single.

M Siraj to A Russell, Swing and a miss! Fullish and wide outside off, Russell throws all his power behind his shot but fails to make any connection. Believe me, had he connected, this would have gone out of Kolkata.

M Siraj to A Russell, Wide! Siraj tries to be clever. Bowls a slower one but it's outside the tramline outside off. Russell reaches out for it but misses. Called a wide.

M Siraj to A Russell, SIX! Gigantic! Russell muscle! What a power-hitter! Siraj overpitches and rest his history. Russell hangs back and launches it over wide long off for a masssssivvvvve hit. 150 up! 64 needed off 21 balls.

M Siraj to A Russell, FOUR! Bang! Siraj offers width again, it's short and outside off, Russell plunders it through the line and finds the gap at point for a cracking boundary.

M Siraj to A Russell, Wide! Way wide outside off, short in length, Russell smartly lets it go to the keeper.

M Siraj to N Rana, Direct hit would have been close! Full delivery, on middle, Rana tries to go over the bowler's head but ends up hitting it towards mid off. The fielder is inside the ring and they cross for a brisk single. Steyn has a shy but misses at the bowler's end.

Strategic break! Is the tide turning? Russell and Rana have just scored 37 runs in the last two overs and the pressure is back on the Bangalore bowlers solely because of the way their death bowling has been this season. There is not yet a need to come under pressure though as 75 is still in the bank with just 4 overs left to be bowled. Kolkata believe but this is still Bangalore's game to lose one would feel. Let's see how the final phase pans out. Meanwhile, it is Siraj to bowl after the break.
