12.1 to G Gambhir, big strike, Gautam is gone, he gave Jakati the charge, but got an inside edge on to pad, the ball then contrived to roll onto the stumps. 100/2 14.4 to JH Kallis, KKR slip further, Kallis, of all batsmen, goes for the reverse-sweep and gets it straight to slip, Kallis is not happy with the umpire's decision, replays show the ball came off the forearm. 111/3
Ben Hilfenhaus	3	0	26	1	8.66	9	2	2	0	0
19.3 to LR Shukla, gone this time, he tries to make room and drill the full delivery past extra cover but picks out the man, Raina takes it low, and safely. 156/6
Ravichandran Ashwin	4	0	26	1	6.50	5	2	0	0	0
16.6 to YK Pathan, YK has picked out long on with precision, tossed up around off, he goes for the big stroke, but gets it too high, and it sails tamely straight to Bravo on the long on rope, the horror season continues for YK, KKR slide further, what a turnaround. 127/4
Suresh Raina	2	0	17	0	8.50	3	1	1	0	0
Ravindra Jadeja	4	0	39	1	9.75	7	4	2	0	0
17.2 to MK Tiwary, and another one, what is happening, the Kolkata Krumble, Tiwary looks to fetch a flighted delivery from just outside off and hit it over midwicket, it turns more than he had budgeted for, and Bravo has another straightforward take at long on. 128/5

10.2 to MEK Hussey, a wicket, finally, top-edged sweep, loops in the air behind the keeper, short third runs towards it, but short fine leg gets there first and takes it. 97/1 10.4 to M Vijay, that spun back in and took out off stump, Eden Gardens comes to life, extremely poor stroke in the end from Vijay, he was on the back foot, and was looking to cut the flighted length ball, but it spun back in and confounded him completely. 97/2

17.1 to F du Plessis, Bhatia strikes, du Plessis goes for six over long on, picks up the slow length ball from middle and leg, and lofts it cleanly, but gets too much height on it, Tiwary takes it some way in from the long on rope. 127/4 19.2 to MS Dhoni, with eight needed off five, Dhoni falls to Bhatia's legcutter, tries to heave it through midwicket, the length ball holds its line on middle and crashes into middle. 151/5
