Andre Russell to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Another boundary, but the same point - too little too late. Full and outside off, Jadeja creams this through covers. Does not matter as KOLKATA WIN BY 10 RUNS!

Andre Russell to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Goes for four this time. 150 up for Chennai with that. But again, just as we said earlier, too little too late. Short ball, Jadeja ferociously pulls this to the deep square leg fence.

Andre Russell to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX! Wonderful shot but a little too late from Jadeja. Shortish outside off, he smokes this over point for a maximum. 19 needed in 2 balls. Extras and a boundary might help, if they happen.

18.5
Sunil Narine to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Another much needed boundary for Chennai here. Sunil Narine bowls it short and well outside off, Jadeja throws the kitchen sink at it and gets it over backward point for a boundary.

Sunil Narine to Kedar Jadhav, FOUR! Much needed boundary for Chennai here. Short ball, Kedar rocks back and pulls this wide of long on. The fielder at long on ran to his right and tried to cut it off but fails to do so. 31 needed in 10 now.

Andre Russell to Sam Curran, OUT! CAUGHT! And Andre Russell strikes straightaway. Chennai, what are they doing to themselves here? Shortish ball outside off, Curran looked to slap that over covers but ends up giving catching practice to Morgan there. Curran's little cameo comes to an end.

16.3
Varun Chakravarthy to MS Dhoni, OUT! BOWLED! Chakravarthy gets his revenge though. MS Dhoni has to walk back. It was floated around off and middle, Dhoni looked to go for the mighty sweep. Wanted to clear the deep square leg fence. He got away with an inside edge earlier, to Narine. This time though, he misses and is cleaned up. The Yellow Army still needs 39 in 21 balls.

Varun Chakravarthy to MS Dhoni, FOUR! How was that! Chakravarthy pitches it short and well outside off. MS Dhoni, who was waiting to unleash his power, clobbers that over cover-point.

15.5
Sunil Narine to Sam Curran, FOUR! Curran needs to play the aggressor role here and he has started off well. Flighted outside off, Curran lofts this over covers. Russell runs to his right but cannot get there. A boundary.

15.4
Sunil Narine to Sam Curran, SIX! Good use of the feet. Floated outside off, Curran comes down the track and lofts this over long off.

13.1
Sunil Narine to Shane Watson, OUT! LBW! It looked unlikely that it would be hitting the stumps, but umpire's call and Watson has to go. Right, so is there a twist in the tale then? Shorter ball around middle and leg, Watson goes back and looks to pull. Misses to get hit on the pads. Narine appeals for LBW and the umpire gives it straightaway. Watson has a chat with his skipper and decides to take the review. But umpire's call and he has to walk back to the dressing room.

12.1
Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Ambati Rayudu, OUT! CAUGHT! A much needed wicket for Kolkata here. Chennai were having it all too easy. Short length delivery, Rayudu goes to the leg side and pulls this. He wanted to clear long on but ends up hitting it straight to the man there. Shubman Gill takes an easy catch. A twist in the tale awaits?

Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Shane Watson, FOUR! A hint of room, was not the worst of deliveries, but Watson is that kind of a player. Full and just outside off, Watson advances down the track and lofts that over covers for another boundary. Sweeper cover gave chase but in no way was he going to get there.

9.3
Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Shane Watson, FOUR! Great effort in the deep though. Short ball, Watson pulls it firmly. Mid-wicket gets to his right and looks to stop it but it goes through for a boundary. That was hit powerfully by Watson.

8.1
Varun Chakravarthy to Shane Watson, FOUR! Delightfully played by Shane Watson. Floated outside off, Watson shuffles across, gets down and scoops this over fine leg.

7.3
Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Ambati Rayudu, FOUR! He likes playing that Rayudu, loves giving the charge to the fast bowlers. Full and outside off, Rayudu comes down and lofts this over cover for a boundary.

Varun Chakravarthy to Ambati Rayudu, FOUR! This is cracked! Rayudu absolutely hammers this one and this will fetch him four runs! Flatter ball around middle, Rayudu rocks on his back foot and pulls this one towards the deep mid-wicket region and it will run away to the boundary.

Shivam Mavi to Shane Watson, SIX! Hammered! Shane Watson smashes this as it was in his zone! Short ball around off, Watson rocks on his back foot and pulls this over the fence at deep square leg. This shot also brings up the 50 for Chennai.

5.2
Shivam Mavi to Shane Watson, FOUR! A bit of a gift as the fine leg fielder was inside the circle but Watson plays this well. Back of a length ball on the pads, he flicks this off his pads past the fielder at short fine leg for a boundary.

4.3
Pat Cummins to Ambati Rayudu, FOUR! Educational edge! Good length all on off, Rayudu plays it late and away from fly slip for a boundary.

Shivam Mavi to Faf du Plessis, OUT! CAUGHT! Mavi strikes! It is the prized wicket of Faf du Plessis! Great stuff by the young Mavi. Good length ball outside off, it zips off the surface. Du Plessis looks to punch it on the off side but the ball shapes away a bit and takes the outside edge of du Plessis' willow. The ball goes to the right of Dinesh Karthik. The Kolkata skipper makes no mistake and takes a good catch.

3.2
Shivam Mavi to Shane Watson, FOUR! Deft touch from Watson. Length ball around off, Watson waits for it and uses the pace of the ball and just opens the face of the bat to place it through backward point for a boundary.

2.5
Pat Cummins to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Slashed! Short ball on off, du Plessis stands tall and pulls it with confidence through mid-wicket for a boundary. That is the shot of a man in form.

Shivam Mavi to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Excellent wrist work from Faf du Plessis! Good length ball on off, Faf comes inside the stumps and uses his wrists to whip it over mid-wicket for a boundary. Solid start for Chennai.
