23.34 IST: OUT! In the air... and there goes Mumbai's hopes of pulling of a miracle! End of an unbelievable innings by Hardik Pandya. Brutal hitting by the all-rounder.

23.28 IST: Sunil Narine to Hardik Pandya, SIX! That's out of here! 10 off the first 2 ball, a terrific start to the over from Hardik. Full on middle and leg, he brings out the helicopter shot and clears the mid-wicket boundary with absolute ease.

23.10 IST: OUT! Pollard holes out and the dangerous, dangerous stand has been broken! This is bowled on the pads, Pollard goes for the flick but it flies off the inner half towards deep square leg.

Mumbai Indians 121/5 in 13.2 overs
23.07 IST: Harry Gurney to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! MI 121/3 in 12.5 overs
23.05 IST: Harry Gurney to Hardik Pandya, SIX! We're dealing in maximums here and Mumbai are still alive. Pandya is hitting the ball with utmost ease here!

22.48 IST: OUT! One more wicket down. Russell picks up his second in as many overs. Takes the pace off this one and bowls a full toss on the stumps, Yadav is early into the flick shot as a result and the ball flies in the air as a result. Karthik behind the stumps settles under it and takes it safely.
22.45 IST: Russell to Pollard, SIX! Smashed and that has gone a long way. MI 58/3 in 8.2 overs
22.41 IST: Andre Russell to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Nicely placed. Length ball outside off, Yadav runs it down to third man and beats the fielder in the deep to the boundary line.
* Kieron Pollard will be the new man in.
22.35 IST: OUT! Edged and gone! Mumbai lose another as Russell strikes on his very first ball. This isn't looking good for the tourists at all. Length ball around off which shapes away off the seam, Lewis plays away from his body and nicks it behind. DK moves to his left and collects it comfortably. Russell removes Lewis for 15. Mumbai Indians 41/3 in 6.1 overs
22.32 IST: Harry Gurney to Evin Lewis, Yorker fired in on off stump, Lewis digs it out on the off side and rushes to the other end. That's the end of the Powerplay, which clearly belongs to Kolkata. Mumbai are 40/2 at the end of it, compared to the hosts' 50/0.

* Suryakumar Yadav to bat next.
22.16 IST: Harry Gurney to Rohit Sharma, OUT! It is umpire's call. The review will be retained, but Mumbai suffer a bigger blow by losing Rohit Sharma. Harry Gurney comes from around the wicket and angles in a length ball on middle and leg, Rohit swings across the line and misses it altogether. He's caught on the pads and the finger goes up. The Mumbai captain reviews it and replays show the ball is clipping the bails, so the on-field call won't be overturned.
22.12 IST: Sandeep Warrier to Evin Lewis, SIX! All the way! What a shot. First of this innings. There is width on offer outside off, Lewis pounces on it. He slashes at it, had no intentions of keeping it down and the ball sails over the point fence.
22.09 IST: Sunil Narine to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! No one in the deep and a boundary! Taking advantage of this attacking field is Rohit Sharma. Steps down the track and this time goes ahead with the slog. He does not connect it well but hits it well enough to bag a boundary in the mid-wicket region.
22.07 IST: Sandeep Warrier to Evin Lewis, SIX! All the way! What a shot. First of this innings. There is width on offer outside off, Lewis pounces on it. He slashes at it, had no intentions of keeping it down and the ball sails over the point fence.
22.05 IST: Sunil Narine to Quinton 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.
22.03 IST: Sandeep Warrier to Rohit 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.
22.00 IST: Sandeep Warrier to Rohit 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.
* 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.
21.44 IST: Lasith Malinga to Andre 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!
21.43 IST: Lasith Malinga to Andre 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.
21.42 IST: Lasith Malinga to Andre 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.
21.40 IST: Lasith Malinga to Andre 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.
21.38 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to Andre Russell, SIX! Take that! That has been slapped! It is the slower one and outside off, Russell reaches out for it, gets it right off the middle and over the cover fence.
21.36 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to Andre Russell, FOUR! Gets it in the gap! Short and on middle, Russell goes back and pulls it. It is not off the middle but in the gap in the mid-wicket region. The outfield is too fast. A boundary off the Free Hit.
21.34 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to Dinesh Karthik, NO BALL! Bumrah has overstepped! A full toss on off, Karthik hits it down to long off for a single. Free Hit for Russell now.
21.33 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to Andre Russell, Another yorker, all Russell could do is jam it down to long on for a single. That brings up fifty though. Not the quickest but surely effective.
21.30 IST: Hardik Pandya to Andre Russell, SIX! Outrageous! What a hit this is! Pandya bangs this one short and on middle, Russell arches his back and then cuts it over point. The connection is such that is goes all the way.
21.28 IST: Hardik Pandya to Andre Russell, SIX! BOOM! Consecutive maximums! This one is a gift. A full toss on the body and Russell smashes it over the mid-wicket stands. This can turn out to be a huge, huge over.
21.26 IST: Hardik Pandya to Andre Russell, SIX! He has picked the bones out of that one! Slower bumper and Russell picks it early. He goes back and pulls it high and handsome. Into the mid-wicket stand. Pressure on the bowler now. A maximum early in the over.
21.24 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to Dinesh Karthik, SIX! This is even better! Poor bowling to be honest by Bumrah. He bowls it short and Karthik is ready for it. He pulls it with ease and it sails into the mid-wicket stands.
21.23 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! In the gap! Top shot. Picked the slower one, waited for it and then swats it over the mid-wicket region for a boundary.
* Jasprit Bumrah is back into the attack.
21.20 IST: Hardik Pandya to Andre Russell, FOUR! Very clever! Great awarness from the big man. Hardik again bangs it short and outside off, instead of going for power. Russell just opens the face and hits it above short third man and bags a boundary. The over ends with a boundary but an excellent one from Hardik. 7 and a wicket from it. KKR 164/1 in 16 overs
* Dinesh Karthik is the new batsman in.
21.17 IST: Hardik Pandya to Shubman Gill, OUT! End of an excellent innings by Shubman Gill. Take a bow, young man, you have done your job for tonight. The slower gets the better of him. It is full and outside off, he looks to drag it over the mid-wicket fence. He gets more height than distance and Lewis takes a well-judged catch in the deep. They check for the front foot but Hardik is fine. Mumbai need to keep picking wickets if they are to stop this run flow.
21.13 IST: Lasith Malinga to Andre Russell, FOUR! Third boundary in the over! This has been squirted. Full and wide outside off, Russell gets it past short third man and the ball races to the fence.
21.11 IST: Lasith Malinga to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Poor bowling and put away! Consecutive boundaries! Down the leg side and Gill flicks it past short fine leg for a boundary.
21.10 IST: Lasith Malinga to Shubman Gill, FOUR! SMASHED! Gill is seeing the ball like a football now! It is the slower one on off, Gill waits for it and then bludgeons it past the bowler and down to the long off fence.
* Strategic break.
21.06 IST: Rahul Chahar to Andre Russell, SIX! This is even better. What power from the big man. Chahar provides air on this again and tosses it up right in the slot for Andre Russell. He clears his front leg and bangs it into the mid-wicket stands with the full swing of his bat. 20 runs off the over, massive one for Kolkata. KKR 143/1 in 14 overs
21.05 IST: Rahul Chahar to Andre Russell, SIX! Take that, Chahar! What a hit. Full and with flight, right in the slot, Russell slogs it over mid-wicket for a maximum.
21.03 IST: Rahul Chahar to Shubman Gill, SIX! Gill is motoring along well here. Looks so comfortable out there. Floated up around off, Gill gets down on one knee and slogs it high and handsome over wide long on for half a dozen.
20.58 IST: Hardik Pandya to Andre Russell, Wide! Too far outside off again and this time it goes from the other side of the tramline, wide signalled by the umpire.
* Hardik Pandya to bowl his first over of the innings.
20.51 IST: Rahul Chahar to Shubman Gill, SIX! That's a terrific shot. Shubman Gill with some terrific footwork here. Dances down the track seeing the flight on the ball and then smokes it straight down the ground for a biggie.
20.49 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, Fifty for Shubman Gill, his 3rd of the League. He's been fantastic so far. He'll look to go big now. Length ball outside off, Gill guides it to third man for a single.
20.47 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Through the gap. Nicely placed. Full length delivery outside off, Gill drives it through the covers and finds the fence with ease.
* Andre Russell is the new batsman in.
20.43 IST: Rahul Chahar to Chris Lynn, OUT! In the air... taken! Chahar's strategy of bowling right arm over, reverse cutting the wicket has paid off. He has got the man he was hitting it to the boundaries with ease, Lynn. He gives this nice amount of air and lands it on middle, it turns away. Lynn looks to against the turn but the ball catches the top edge and goes high up in the air towards mid-wicket. Lewis runs in and takes a good catch. A much-needed wicket for the visitors. They would now try and apply the breaks.
20.41 IST: Rahul Chahar to Shubman Gill, SIX! What a shot! He has gone inside out over covers for a maximum. Not easy to play this. Chahar tosses it up on off, Gill makes room and then clears the cover fence with ease.
20.40 IST: Barinder Sran to Chris Lynn, FOUR! In the gap! 13 from the over again! Full and on off, Lynn whips it through mid-wicket. It is in the gap and a boundary results.
20.37 IST: Barinder Sran to Chris Lynn, Fifty for Lynn! His 10th in the league. He has got Kolkata off to a flier but needs to continue. The slower full toss outside off, Lynn reaches out for it and hits it through covers for a run.
20.35 IST: Barinder Sran to Chris Lynn, FOUR! There seems to be no stopping Lynn today. Full and on off, Lynn clears his front leg and hits it over extra cover. Boundary.
20.32 IST: Krunal Pandya to Chris Lynn, SIX! That is out of here! Lynn is in some mood today. He continues making room. Krunal follows him, he tonk it into the mid-wicket stand for a biggie. Once again, Lynn follows a boundary with a biggie.

* Strategic break.
20.24 IST: Lasith Malinga to Chris Lynn, FOUR! The fifty stand is up with that and so is the Powerplay. Kolkata have done well to get the start they have. Length ball on off, Lynn stays leg side and hammers it straight back down the ground for a boundary. KKR 50/0 in 6 overs
20.22 IST: Lasith Malinga to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Malinga misses it altogether. A loopy full toss on middle and leg, Gill closes the face and whips this through backward square leg. Nobody out there in the deep, so the ball will race away to the boundary line.
20.17 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to Chris Lynn, FOUR! Not off the middle, but it's enough to find the fence. A little ahead of a length, on the stumps, Gill slogs and gets it off the inner half through square leg. The placement is good enough to beat the fielder in the deep.
20.13 IST: Krunal Pandya to Chris Lynn, FOUR! Second of the over. Full and just around leg, Lynn gets low and sweeps it over short fine leg's head. Once he clears the infield, it was always going to run away. KKR 31/0 in 3.5 overs
20.11 IST: Krunal Pandya to Chris Lynn, FOUR! Excellent shot from Lynn. Adjusts quickly and executes it well. Quite full and fast on middle and leg, the Aussie makes room and squeezes it through point for a boundary.
20.08 IST: Lasith Malinga to Chris Lynn, Chance of a run out. Lynn walks down the track to this back of a length delivery and punches it towards covers. Lewis gets to the ball quickly and has a shy at the bowler's end, but misses. The batsmen complete the run.
* Lasith Malinga is into the attack now.
20.06 IST: Krunal Pandya to Chris Lynn, BEATEN! This one pitches on off and then turns away. Lynn plays inside the line and the ball whizzes past the outside edge.
20.02 IST: Barinder Sran to Shubman Gill, SIX! Wow. Shubman Gill is flying here. The ball is coming on to the bat nicely and he's putting them away. Back of a length into the body, the Indian sticks on the back foot and pulls it off the middle into the square leg stands.
20.01 IST: Barinder Sran to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Two in two for Gill. This is another amazing shot. Short of a length and outside off, Shubman rises on his toes and cracks it through the covers to find the fence.
20.00 IST: Barinder Sran to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Fine start from Gill upfront. Doesn't waste any time as he finds the boundary. Full on middle and leg, the batsman leans ahead and flicks it nicely through mid-wicket. Pollard chases after it, but only comes second best.
