Handshakes all around. A remarkably intent-less chase from Kolkata finishes off a win for Rajasthan, who were skilled and smart on a slow wicket. Ganguly in the middle order is becoming a bit of an issue, they have to find a way to get Shah and Mathews to play more overs. Anyway, time to skip onto the next match. Thanks for joining

19.6
Patel to Saha, no run

dot ball, and Rajasthan are officially on the board

19.5
1
Patel to Shah, 1 run

take a single to third man

19.4
1
Patel to Saha, 1 run

slower legcutter, plays it like a spitting cobra, gets a single

19.3
W
Patel to Shah, OUT

Mathews is the new man in, and he walks out without even facing a delivery! Another yorker on the base of leg, they come through for a single, and Raut - the substitute - hits stumps direct from short fine

Angelo Mathews run out (sub [AS Raut]) 0 (0b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
19.2
W
Patel to Ganguly, OUT

he mis-hits again, finds a fielder this time, but it is too late for KKR I am afraid. Like Hodge, another insipid innings, gets too much under a length ball and holes out to deep midwicket

Sourav Ganguly c Voges b Patel 33 (29b 3x4 0x6) SR: 113.79
19.1
Patel to Ganguly, no run

yorker outside off, dot ball, all over except for no-balls and wides

Six sixes to tie the match!

18.6
Tait to Shah, no run

another yorker chasing his toes, goes between his legs

18.5
1
Tait to Ganguly, 1 run

and again, another of Ganguly's shots falls just in front of a fielder, plays the upper-cut, but doesn't put any power into it. Faiz at third man does well to get his body behind the half-volley

18.4
1
Tait to Shah, 1 run

nice yorker, into the base of leg stump, just a single

More than four per ball required

18.3
Tait to Shah, no run

makes so much room for himself he could have put a bed in there, and Tait coolly bowls a wide yorker and gets a dot

18.2
1
Tait to Ganguly, 1 run

Ganguly can't even get himself out! bouncer, top-edged limply, and it falls between mid-off and mid-on and Shah almost runs himself out by plonking his foot in, just in!

18.1
1
Tait to Shah, 1 run

gets the yorker right this time, will be just a single to long-on

18.1
1w
Tait to Shah, 1 wide

Ojha you champ! full, fast, way down the leg side, he flings full length down the leg side, saves four wides

Tait comes back

17.6
1
Trivedi to Shah, 1 run

full toss, hit powerfully to Lumb at midwicket, they get a single despite the misfield

17.5
6
Trivedi to Shah, SIX runs

this time he is expecting the slower ball, and times the slog perfectly, carves him for six over wide midwicket, is it too late?

17.4
Trivedi to Shah, no run

goes for the big slog, ends up playing it three seconds before the ball arrives, comprehensively beaten

17.3
1lb
Trivedi to Ganguly, 1 leg bye

walks across the stumps to get it over short fine, Sid bowls the slower ball, he misses, and I wonder why they didn't go for the lbw shout! He was dead!

Some discomfort with Sid T's foot. Could be cramping up

17.2
2
Trivedi to Ganguly, 2 runs

slower ball, right up to the stumps, hit powerfully and slightly wide of long-off, gets a couple

17.1
Trivedi to Ganguly, no run

slower bouncer, Ganguly has no clue about it, limply plays it to short fine, they don't even come through for one

Patel to Shah, SIX runs

misses the yorker this time, ends up a fulltoss and you could almost here the sigh of relief from Shah as he freed his arms and swung it high over long on. Six, they need more of those.
