    1.3 straight to mid wicket, and Kamboj has the last laugh! Fullish and angling into the pads. Gurbaz looks to flick it away but does not keep it down. Does not go over the fielder either and pops it straight to Noor Ahmad, stationed on the edge of the right. Easy, easy catch, and Gurbaz has to walk back for 11, despite showing a lot of intent! 11/1
    7.1 Dhoni whips off the bails, but was he quick enough?! Angled in on a fullish length on middle and leg. Narine advances and has a slog across the line. Misses it and the ball lodges into his back thigh before rolling towards the keeper. Narine loses his bearing and as it turns out, loses his wicket soon after. Was Dhoni quick enough? Well, of course he was. Two dismissals in two balls against Narine for Noor in T20 cricket, and CSK have their second! 69/2
    12.2 gone this time, and Jadeja has his man! This is perhaps a little slower, angling into middle stump. Rahane shapes for the reverse, aiming to go with the turn but the ball keeps coming back into him. He cannot free his arms as much as he would have liked and that rids him of the requisite power. Spoons it straight to Conway at backward point, who makes no mistake, and it is a cacophony of noise out there at the Eden Gardens as the home side lose their skipper! 103/4
    7.4 nicked and gone! The Noor Magic Show is premiering at the Eden Gardens! This is floated up beautifully on a fullish length outside off. Raghuvanshi does not know where this is going to turn and goes feeling for it. The ball spins away just a smidgen and that helps the ball kiss the outside edge. Sharp grab by Dhoni to his right, and Noor is absolutely pumped! 71/3

    16.6 Russell swats it flat, but straight to Brevis! Noor breaks through and that is a massive wicket! Another googly, although this is shorter outside off. Russell looks to pummel it over long off but does not get the elevation he wants. The ball gets lost in the lights for a bit but Brevis keeps his eyes on it very well. Swoops down low to complete the catch in the end, and Russell is disconsolate as he walks back. Noor and CSK, meanwhile, cannot control their delight! 149/5
    18.3 a juggling act on the fence, but Mhatre gets the job done! Short and sliding into the hips. Rinku sits deep in his crease and heaves it towards deep backward square leg. Mhatre gets into a good position right on the fence but loses control of the ball as he tries to catch it first. But he has the awareness to track where the ball goes, and gobbles up the second chance with a nonchalant fling of the right mitt, while also holding his balance and staying away from the boundary cushion. Wicket number four for Noor tonight! 167/6

    0.2 soft, soft dismissal! Oh, to be 17 and to feel this game's keen and sometimes cruel sting! Back of a length outside off, and this just sticks in the surface. Mhatre has designs to go over cover point but the lack of pace off the surface means he scuffs his shot completely. Floats it through to Rana in the ring and he makes no mistake. The perfect start for KKR, and CSK under immediate pressure! 0/1
    1.5 hot knife through butter, and Conway is outta here! Floated up beautifully on a full length on middle and off. Conway looks to drive down the ground and plays for the turn, but there isn't any. Plays down the wrong line, gets beaten on the inside and the ball crashes into the top of leg stump. Excellent bowling, and Conway has to go back without troubling the scorers! 25/2
    2.6 flies off the outside edge and Chakravarthy snaffles it up! Fullish outside off, daring Urvil to go off-side, and this is where the youngster fails. Not for a lack of effort, though. He threw the kitchen sink and a bit more at it but just lost his shape a touch. Sharp, sharp work by Chakravarthy to his left at short third, and that, in the context of the game, looks like a big wicket! 37/3
    4.6 in the air and taken! Ashwin bites the dust too, and CSK are four down inside five overs! Back of a length outside off. Ashwin looks to drive on the up but like Mhatre earlier in the innings, he cannot get on top of the bounce. Flays at it uppishly and Raghuvanshi is on hand at backward point to gobble up the chance. Ashwin cannot believe what he has done, but he has to trudge back, with CSK now in more than a spot of bother! 56/4
    5.2 chopped on, and Chakravarthy is into the wicket-taking action too! Jadeja departs, and CSK are now five down! Back of a length just outside off and this is an away-going delivery. Jadeja looks to dab it away but is a little early on the stroke. Gets a thick inside edge and that cannons back into the stumps. Jadeja, after a sprightly cameo, has to walk off and CSK in all sorts of trouble now! 60/5
    12.1 and Brevis bites the dust! Monumental moment in the game! Dangles the carrot on a full length on leg stump and Brevis bites. Looks to go downtown over long on but cannot get under this enough. Arrows it flat and straight to Rinku and Rinku was not going to drop that, not in a million years. A sensational knock comes to an end, and KKR have a window of opportunity again! 127/6
    18.4 goes a mile up, and Dube does not find the distance this time! Caught superbly by Rinku and this game threatens to turn again! Another slot ball outside off and Dube cannot resist the temptation to have a pop at it, especially with mid off up. Swings his blade like an axe but cuts across the ball too much. A tame slice and Rinku back-pedals from mid off to snare the chance. Big, big moment in the game, and Dube falls for 45, having gotten CSK so close to the finish line! 170/7

    18.6 holes out to long on, and KKR have another wicket in the penultimate over! Dug into the track outside off. Noor has a swipe across the line but the ball gets just a little big on him. Cloths it flat towards long on, where Rinku judges the catch to perfection and then lunges forward to complete it. KKR are still alive, and it will now all go down to the final over! 172/8
