S Watson to R Uthappa, OUT! RUN OUT! The last thing Kolkata wanted. Second wicket in the over. Now I do not know what to write here. Was Uthappa's carelessness the reason for this wicket or Raina's brilliance? Uthappa taps this ball on off towards covers and is ball watching. Karthik thinks there is a run and there was one. He sprints towards the other end but Robin is not looking at him. He realizes very late that Karthik is next to him and then goes for it. However, it is too late by that time as Raina dives to his left, doesn't collect it cleanly but recovers quickly and scores bull's eye at the non-striker's end. Watson too does well to let it go. Uthappa is well short. He was looking really good out there and Chennai will be really relieved to see his back. Kolkata are now in a spot of bother.

S Watson to R Uthappa, WIDE! A bumper on middle, Uthappa ducks under it and the umpire signals a wide.

Dinesh Karthik walks into the middle next.

The first strategic break has been taken.

S Watson to N Rana, OUT! The bowling change has worked wonders! Watson gets the wicket of Rana. A short ball on the pads cramping the batsman for room. Rana tries to pull but it goes off the gloves and balloons towards Dhoni who runs to his right and takes an easy catch. He appeals and the umpire raises his finger. Rana walks back cheaply today. The runs are coming for Kolkata but they are losing wickets at regular intervals.

Shane Watson is back on.

S Thakur to N Rana, One to end the over! A good one by Shardul in the context of the game. Shorter in length on the body of the batsman. Rana mistimes his pull towards mid-wicket for a run.

S Thakur to N Rana, Shorter in length outside off, cut through backward point. Harbhajan Singh at third man runs to his left, dives and keeps it down to two.

H Singh to N Rana, Comes down the track and drives it towards long off for a run. So the run flow continues as 9 comes from this over.

H Singh to N Rana, FOUR! Bad ball put away! Short and outside off, Rana rocks back and cuts it through point. There is a fielder who tries to stop it but his effort goes in vain.

R Jadeja to R Uthappa, SIX! Back-to-back maximums! This is a towering one! WOW! This is outside off, Uthappa trusts the pitch and goes across the line and sends it over the long on fence for half a dozen. What an end to the Powerplay. 2 biggies to end it. 64/2 after 6.

R Jadeja to R Uthappa, SIX! What a shot! He is in some mood today! Jadeja tosses it up on middle. Uthappa lines it up and sends it over the long on fence for a biggie.

R Jadeja to N Rana, Flatter on off, kept out.

Nitish Rana strides out to the middle.

R Jadeja to C Lynn, OUT! TIMBER! Jadeja strikes! A much-needed wicket for Chennai as Lynn was going bonkers. That is it for the Lynn show today as he comes down the track a little too early. Jadeja sees that and darts it on middle. Lynn swings across the line and misses to see the ball disturb the furniture behind. Chennai will now try and put a lid on the scoring.

R Jadeja to C Lynn, FOUR! Sloppy, very sloppy by Harbhajan Singh. Lynn walks across the stumps and also goes down on one knee. Jadeja fires it on middle in an attempt to hit the pads. Lynn however, gets his bat down in time and sweeps it towards short fine leg. Harbhajan Singh there dives over the ball and it races away. Not what the bowlers need at this moment. They require the team to support them in the field.

I Tahir to R Uthappa, SIX! A maximum to end the over! What a shot! Tahir tosses this one up on middle, not a good idea as Uthappa goes down on one knee and sends it sailing over the fence at mid-wicket.

I Tahir to C Lynn, A full toss, Lynn cannot take full toll of it as he eases it to long on for a run.

I Tahir to C Lynn, FOUR! Up and over! Lynn making full use of the Powerplay! He loves making room and does so again. He gets a full ball on middle, he lofts it over mid off. Once it clears the fielders inside the ring it is a certain boundary.

R Jadeja to C Lynn, Third ball in a row goes to covers as Lynn cuts this short ball to that player. Just 2 from this over, so it is the fast bowlers who are taking a pounding. So that already indicates, spin is the way to go.

R Jadeja to C Lynn, Flatter again on off, Jadeja is in no mood of tossing it up. Lynn cuts it to the fielder at covers.
