Adam Milne to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! Ajinkya Rahane might have been going a bit too hard at the ball but times this one to perfection. Pitched up, on middle. Rahane shows the maker's name and punches it uppishly right back over the bowler's head for a boundary.

Adam Milne to Ajinkya Rahane, SIX! First maximum of the innings and Rahane has timed it sweetly yet again. On the hips, Rahane shuffles just a touch and launches it over the backward square leg fence for a biggie.

4.2
Tushar Deshpande to Venkatesh Iyer, FOUR! Not perfectly timed but will do for Venkatesh Iyer. Fullish ball, around off. Iyer drives on the up and there's plenty of space at the extra cover region. The ball goes through that area and ends up in the fence.

4.5
Tushar Deshpande to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! Kolkata off to a solid start and the runs required are under a hundred already! Overpitched from Deshpande and he is punished. On off, Rahane lofts it over mid off and picks up another boundary.

5.1
Mitchell Santner to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! Santner into the attack and he gets the same treatment! An arm ball, sliding on leg, was on the shorter side and Rahane pulls it nicely to deep mid-wicket for a boundary.

Dwayne Bravo to Venkatesh Iyer, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Chennai finally get the breakthrough! This is full and outside off. Venkatesh Iyer goes for a big booming drive but gets an outside edge to the keeper, Dhoni who makes no mistake.

7.1
Shivam Dube to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Good shot! Dube starts with a full ball, outside off. Rana waits and then smashes it aerially over covers for a boundary. A lossener to start.

8.1
Mitchell Santner to Nitish Rana, SIX! BANG! Tossed up, full and outside off. A left-arm bowler to left-hander always brings the slog-sweep on and Nitish Rana does so well to perfection as he hits it over mid-wicket.

Dwayne Bravo to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! Deft touch! A length ball, angling on the pads. Rahane tickles it to fine leg for a boundary.

Dwayne Bravo to Nitish Rana, OUT! TAKEN! A timely wicket for Chennai and Bravo has all the tricks in his pocket. He comes with his evergreen slower balls, on a length and on middle. Rana looks to pull but creates no power behind it. Hits it straight to short fine leg where Ambati Rayudu pouches it. 56 runs needed in 60 balls.

Ravindra Jadeja to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! Nicely played by Rahane. On middle, Rahane brings out the reverse sweep and gets it past the diving fielder at short third man for a boundary. He moves into the 40s now.

11.4
Mitchell Santner to Ajinkya Rahane, OUT! TAKEN! Straight into the hands of Ravindra Jadeja at short mid-wicket and that's a really soft dismissal for Ajinkya Rahane. Mitchell Santner bowls it on a length, around middle and leg. Rahane gets pushed on the back foot and he is caught in two minds, whether to pull it or just work it away. He ends up doing neither and just pushes it towards short mid-wicket where the catch is taken. Is there still life left in this match?

15.4
Dwayne Bravo to Sam Billings, FOUR! A slower ball, on a length, outside off. Billings steps across and waits before he pulls it to square leg for a boundary. Kolkata running away here.

Dwayne Bravo to Sam Billings, OUT! TAKEN! With this wicket, Dwayne Bravo equals Lasith Malinga for most wickets in Indian T20 League history. A length ball, outside off. Sam Billings slog-sweeps it straight in the hands of Tushar Deshpande at deep mid-wicket. Was hit nicely but did not get the required elevation.
