Maheesh Theekshana to Jason Roy
OUT! TIMBER! Maheesh Theekshana has the last laugh here! Theekshana spears in another yorker on middle stump and gets it to just drift a bit this time. Jason Roy looks to stay deep and tonk it downtown but fails to get under the ball and the ball sneaks in to crash into the stumps. The crowd is silenced as Roy departs after a solid knock and this might be the final nail in the coffin for Kolkata.

Tushar Deshpande to David Wiese
OUT! LBW! MS Dhoni gets another review right! Tushar Deshpande gets his second wicket. He bowls the slower delivery, on a length and around middle, David Wiese looks to heave it away, but goes through his shot way early and misses to get hit on the pads. There is a huge appeal for LBW, but turned down! However, MS Dhoni goes for the review and UltraEdge shows no spike and Ball Tracking indicates three reds. The on-field call is changed and Kolkata are seven down!

Matheesha Pathirana to Rinku Singh
SIX! FIFTY FOR RINKU! A fighting knock, but it will not be in a winning cause. This is full and on middle, Rinku Singh stays there and slogs it high in the air towards deep square leg where the fielder backtracks and catches it, but steps on the boundary ropes at the same time. So, it is a maximum and the replay confirms the same.
