Sunil Narine to Daryl Mitchell
OUT! BOWLED'EM! Daryl Mitchell was looking to play his shots and Sunil Narine has outfoxed him here. Narine floats this one up and pulls the length back just a bit as well. Mitchell comes down the track looking to loft it over long on but is beaten in the flight and the ball just turns it a bit as well to go through bat and pad and hit the top of the stumps. Kolkata get their second wicket and the stand is finally broken.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Shivam Dube
A loud appeal for LBW, but the umpire turns it down. Shreyas Iyer goes upstairs with not much conviction to back his call. Varun Chakaravarthy bowls the arm ball on a fuller length and gets the ball to skid through on leg, Shivam Dube gets hurried trying to tuck it on leg and gets beaten onto his front pad. The relays roll on and UltraEdge confirms there was no spike but the BallTracking shows that the pitch was outside leg and the onfield call stays as NOT OUT!

Varun Chakaravarthy to Shivam Dube
