Kochi vs KKR, 45th match at Kochi, IPL, May 05 2011 - Ball by Ball Commentary

bowled'im, Kochi finish on a high as RP sends back Boucher who swings wildly but finds his off stump pegged back

pitched up on middle, played down to long-on for a single

pitched up to Lee, he drives it wide of long-off for a couple of runs, there's an appeal for a run-out but the throw was a wide one. Parthiv dived to take off the bails and it was enough to find Lee short, if only marginally. It is a run-out.

full and it's sliced wide of cover for just a single, the crowd can't stop cheering now since the result is more or less known

shot but only a couple as Hodge dives to his left to save two runs, pulled hard but he covered good ground in the deep

length ball outside off, dragged wide of midwicket, just the couple

dot ball, yorker length outside off and he can't squeeze it out, misses and Vinay completes an excellent over

Yusuf goes and it lookes beyond them now, full outside off and it's smashed hard but straight to Mahela who is positioned perfectly at extra cover, just inside the circle

run-out, another good delivery from Vinay, low full toss that Morgan couldn't do much against, gets to the keeper as he misses it on the swing and Yusuf has already run down the pitch to take strike next ball, by the time Morgan realises that it's too late and he sacrifices his wicket as Parthiv returns the ball to the bowler

appeal for a catch, slower one bowled full, reached for it and it appeared it was a bump ball, actually it was one. Landed just short of Jadeja at point. Just the single, was almost in the blockhole

Yusuf keeps the Kolkata hopes alive, full outside off and it's drilled hard past extra cover to the boundary

pitched up outside off, reaches for it and plays it down to long-on, just the single

beautifully placed from Yusuf, wide and full and he just sliced it past point to beat third man and deep point, executed perfectly

full toss again but it's a safe one, punched towards deep cover for just a single, what a lovely little over this from the home boy

another one, slower delivery this time and he swings at that one a little too early, misses

doesn't work for Morgan, had shaped up for the paddle, Prasanth bowled a full toss outside off and the batsman couldn't quite execute what he had planned, a valuable dot ball for the hosts

long-off is wider than usual and Yusuf finds him but on the bounce, length ball and he struck it hard, but just the single in the end

some reverse on that one, played down the ground to long-on for a single

just the single, a length delivery and he drags it wide of long-on into the deep but just the single as the fielder returns a good throw, an expensive over but still plenty of ground to cover for Kolkata

aiming for the yorker, almost gets it right, Yusuf stretches and runs it down to third man for a single
