Khaleel Ahmed to Sam Billings
OUT! CAUGHT! Khaleel Ahmed gets his third wicket and gets rid of Sam Billings now! This is a full delivery, around off and it is angling across the batter. Billings gets across towards the off side and goes for the sweep-shot. He gets a top edge on this one and the ball goes in the air towards fine leg. Lalit Yadav there settles under it to take a fine catch. 83 needed now from 32 balls! Delhi right on the top!

Kuldeep Yadav to Pat Cummins
OUT! LBW! Pat Cummins cannot repeat his heroics this time around! Kuldeep Yadav gets his man. Nicely tossed up, on middle and leg. Pat Cummins looks to heave it away on the leg side but misses. He gets thudded on the pads. An appeal from Kuldeep Yadav and the umpire agrees. Pat Cummins does opt for the review. UltraEdge shows a daylight gap between bat and pad and Ball Tracking shows it is umpire's call on wickets hitting. Kolkata lose their sixth wicket and it all boils down to Andre Russell to take it from here. 77 needed from 27 balls!

W
Kuldeep Yadav to Sunil Narine
OUT! TAKEN! Superb stuff from Kuldeep Yadav! He bags his third wicket! Match-turning spell from him. Loopy ball, outside off. Sunil Narine looks to go big again and takes the aerial route. He slices it to deep extra cover where Rovman Powell runs to his right and pouches it with ease. Another one bites the dust for Kolkata.
15.6
W
Kuldeep Yadav to Umesh Yadav
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Two wickets off two deliveries! Third wicket of the over and his fourth overall! What a catch from him. He has probably taken the best catch of his career. He is pumped and everyone around him is pumped. Sensational from Kuldeep Yadav. Take a bow! He tosses this one up, on middle. Umesh Yadav kneels and looks to sweep but gets a top edge. The ball goes high up in the air towards the mid-wicket region. Kuldeep Yadav calls for it. He runs and plucks it out of thin air at the last second diving forward. Blinder from the chinaman and Delhi surely can't lose it from here.

OUT! CAUGHT! That will be that! Lord Shardul Thakur bags his second wicket and ends Kolkata's innings. Batted beautifully in the end hitting som lusty blows and now ends the proceedings as well.
