a leg bye to win it for KKR! Narine misses the flick and the ball goes to square leg off the pad. Narine sets off immediately, the fielder aims for the stumps at the bowler's end but he misses! KKR go top of the table, what a manic finish

7.35 pm I've got to run and jump on the Huddle I'm afraid so that's it for me today. Thank you for all your emails. Narine for Man of the Match? Or Russell? I'd give it to Narine. The other game is about to begin in Raipur. Hope it's as exciting as this one was. Cheers.
Narine is the last man. He did it with the ball and now he needs to score one run off two balls.
caught down the leg side! That would have been wide had Chawla let it go but he tries to glance the short of a length ball and Saha does splendidly to move to his right to catch it. That was so wide outside leg, and he gloved it.
and that's why he did not run! Chawla hammers the full ball far over deep midwicket to tie the scores! He was on the front foot for the full ball and swung hard, superb strike under pressure
it's all happening at Eden Gardens! Anureet bowls it in the blockhole outside leg to counter Chawla's movement outside leg stump. He inside edges the ball on to the pad and the ball rolls towards the bowler. Hogg charges for the single but Chawla sends him back. Anureet rushes to the ball, picks up, turns around and hits the stumps with Hogg well short
Hogg makes room by moving outside leg and hits straight, the bowler gets a hand on the ball but can't save the single
Aditya Talesara: "In a match, where everyone were worried for a fifth bowler for KXIP, they have done quite well 22-3 in four."
Anureet has the tough job of bowling the last over.
KKR need eight off the last over. Super over anyone?
a low full toss on off stump, makes room and slices the ball in front of point
a full ball outside off, Chawla drives along the ground through cover for a single
nearly in the blockhole, Hogg pushes it towards mid-off for one more
driven firmly off the pads towards long on for a single
a full ball on leg and middle, Chawla tries to clip off his toes but misses, the ball goes towards extra cover off the pad, Hogg begins to run but is sent back because the fielder has come rushing in
a full toss outside off stump, Hogg mis-times the hit to long off, gets the single to give the better batsman the strike, it's all he needs to do
Chawla's cracked it hard, over the infield at point, and the ball races to the boundary. Too short and too wide from Hendricks, a poor finish to the over and KKR are ahead in the game after a short setback
short ball outside off, third man is in the circle, and maybe Chawla knows it because he ramps the ball over the infield to the third man boundary
short of a length outside off stump, the batsman cuts the ball in the air behind point
good length on off and middle, chipped towards long off for a single
Hogg is the new batsman.
Botha's been run out by a direct hit! The match is swinging again. Botha played the ball to extra cover and ran, Axar swooped on the ball, picked up and nailed the throw, catching Botha at least a foot and a half short
a good length ball angles into the left-hander and hits Chawla on the pad as he tries to flick
nudged off the pads behind square for a single
caught behind! Russell goes back to cut and gets a thick edge so that's a sharp catch by Saha to his right. He followed the ball superbly. Has Russell done enough to take KKR to the top of the table?
driven to long off for a single
Over 20 • KKR 184/9
