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

Y Chahal to N Rana, FOUR! Edgy one. A flighted delivery on off, Rana this time tries to play the reverse-batted shot this time but it takes the top edges and goes over short third man. Siraj chases but comes second best in the race.

Y Chahal to N Rana, FOUR! Poor delivery and duly punished. Chahal drops it short and around leg, Rana sits down on one knee and hammers it behind square leg for a boundary.

Y Chahal to R Uthappa, A touch short and outside off, spinning away, Uthappa punches it to deep cover for a run.

Yuzvendra Chahal is now on.

M Siraj to N Rana, FOUR! Pulled away! Third boundary of the over. Short of a length on off, Rana swivels and pulls this through wide long on. The ball goes to the fence. Kolkata are 60/3 at the halfway mark. They need 154 in 60 balls.

M Siraj to R Uthappa, Uthappa looks to go over covers by making some room but gets a thick outside edge and the ball flies over backward point to third man for a single.

M Siraj to R Uthappa, Beaten! Short of a length outside off and some seam movement. Uthappa looks to run it down to third man but fails to put bat on ball. Could have been an outside edge, so close!

M Siraj to R Uthappa, Bowled short of a length outside off, Uthappa looks to ramp that one over the keeper but misses the ball.

M Siraj to R Uthappa, FIVE WIDES! Bouncer gone all wrong. Siraj bowls this one down leg and too high for a jumping Parthiv to collect. Goes to the fence. 9 runs so far in 2 balls.

M Siraj to R Uthappa, Good comeback! Siraj bowls this back of a length outside off, Uthappa looks to cut but misses the ball.

M Siraj to R Uthappa, FOUR! Shot! Went like a tracer bullet. Boundary after the break. A length ball on middle, Uthappa makes room and smashes this one past cover. No chance for anyone to stop that. 50 comes up for the hosts!

Strategic break! This is unbelievable. I did not feel that I would be typing this but Bangalore are well on top in this game having picked 3 wickets and keeping the run rate of Kolkata well under check. Rana and Uthappa out there currently have found going difficult and will have to get a move on soon or else it could be too late even though they have DK and Russell in the shed. Bangalore, on the other hand, will hope to keep things as they are going on. They even have 4 overs of Chahal in the bag.

M Stoinis to R Uthappa, Turned away to deep square leg for a single. 2 runs off the Stoinis over once again. 168 runs needed in 66 balls now.

M Stoinis to N Rana, Dabbed down to third man for a single by the southpaw this time. A run after 8 balls! The crowd is getting noisy and impatient.

M Stoinis to N Rana, Swing and a miss! The pressure was building with 7 dot balls in a row and Rana decides to go for a big one as he looks to smoke this ball over long off. He misses and the pressure builds even more.

M Stoinis to N Rana, Back of a length, rolled over the fingers by Stoinis. Rana pats it towards point.

M Stoinis to N Rana, Bouncer outside off, Rana looks to ramp it over the head of the keeper but misses the ball.

M Stoinis to N Rana, That would have been gone had Klaasen hit from point! A length ball outside off, Rana pushes it to point and sets off. He is sent back by Uthappa. Rana stands stranded but the shy from Heinrich misses at the striker's end.

M Siraj to R Uthappa, Excellent bowling! On a length, delivered outside off. Uthappa looks to drive back down the ground but there is a little movement away from the batsman, which takes the ball past the outside edge. Great over again from Siraj in the context of the game, 5 runs off it in the end. 170 needed off 72 balls.

M Siraj to R Uthappa, Pushed to the extra cover fielder on the up. The ball goes on a couple of bounces.
