Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings, 57th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Pathirana to Ramandeep Singh, 1 run, Dhoni does well to get a hand on this! Very full on leg stump, Ramandeep shuffles across the stumps and glances it very fine. Would've raced away for four if not for the diving effort from Dhoni who parries it to fine leg. Harsh to call it a drop catch

Noor Ahmad to Manish Pandey, FOUR, short ball on off, googly, it sits up for Pandey who swats it through midwicket. Gets it in the gap and it races away

Noor Ahmad to Rinku Singh, out Caught by Ayush Mhatre!! Taken on the second attempt! It's a really good catch from Mhatre right on the edge of the boundary. Dragged down short on leg, Rinku pulls it in the air but doesn't quite get enough on it to clear the fielder at deep backward square. Mhatre, who is very close to the ropes, hops in the air to try and take it with the reverse cup. It pops out the first time but he shows good reflexes to take it on the second attempt with one hand while also keeping his balance to ensure he doesn't step over the ropes. Rinku Singh c Ayush Mhatre b Noor Ahmad 9(6) [4s-2]

Noor Ahmad to Rinku Singh, FOUR, reverse-swept over the infield! Full around off, Rinku gets into position quickly and executes the shot to perfection over backward point

Pathirana to Rinku Singh, no run, Rinku has reviewed for a wide! It's a yorker slanted away outside off, he lets it go and ball-tracking shows that there is some part of the ball inside the marker

Pathirana to Rinku Singh, FOUR, opens the face and gets off the mark with a boundary! Full toss across off stump as Pathirana misses the blockhole, third man is in the ring and Rinku steers it past that fielder

Pathirana to Manish Pandey, SIX, launched into the night sky, and clears the ropes easily! Full delivery slinging in on middle, Pandey makes room, clears the front leg and swings cleanly through the line, getting a good piece of it. The ball sails over the midwicket boundary

Pathirana to Manish Pandey, 2 runs, back of a length around off and middle, Pandey makes room and flat-bats it straight back down the ground. Back for a couple of runs

Noor Ahmad to Russell, out Caught by Brevis!! Noor has the last laugh and gets rid of the danger man! Nothing special about this delivery. It's short outside off, googly, Russell tries slapping it down the ground but doesn't get much elevation. Brevis initially seems to misjudge it at long-off but recovers nicely and hangs on. Russell c Brevis b Noor Ahmad 38(21) [4s-4 6s-3]

Noor Ahmad to Russell, SIX, nailed! Another googly, turns away off a good length but Russell absolutely wallops it over midwicket with the slog-sweep. Goes a long way back into the crowd!

Noor Ahmad to Russell, FOUR, oh dear! Conway is deceived by the spin on the ball and ends up overrunning it. This is pretty full around off, Russell carves it to deep extra cover, should've only been a single but ends up weaving past the helpless Conway

Pathirana to Russell, FOUR, slower one wide of off, it's on a good length and Russell hops across on the back leg in order to reach it, and then manages to slap it over extra cover. No balance whatsoever but still imparts a good amount of force on it

Pathirana to Russell, SIX, swatted over midwicket! Back of a length, slower one on middle, sits up for Russell who opens the front hip and whacks it across the line. Goes for a flat six!

Jadeja to Russell, SIX, plenty of height and just enough distance! 97.5kph, full ball fired in on middle, Russell clears the front leg and launches it down the ground. Didn't quite get it off the middle but it's enough to clear long-on

Jadeja to Russell, FOUR, shoveled into the on-side! Length ball darted in at the stumps, Russell has a swipe across the line again and drags it through square leg. Noor puts in a diving effort looking to flick it back but his hand is in contact with the cushion

Jadeja to Russell, FOUR, Russell swings hard and it flies off the edge over slip! Flat length ball darted in on off, grips and straightens and takes the leading edge as he looks to tonk it over midwicket. Goes over the fielder at slip

Jadeja to Rahane, out Caught by Conway!! Rahane misses out on his fifty by a couple of runs. Unlucky. This was darted at the stumps and Rahane went for the reverse sweep. Doesn't middle it and the fielder at backward point completes a rather easy catch. Doesn't have to move an inch. Walks back after playing a crucial knock does the KKR captain. Rahane c Conway b Jadeja 48(33) [4s-4 6s-2]

Ashwin to Manish Pandey, 2 runs, 100 up for KKR in the 12th over! This was chipped towards long-on by Manish Pandey and Ayush sprinting in from the deep couldn't get his hands underneath, a couple of runs taken

Jadeja to Rahane, SIX, ohh wow! Such a beautiful shot. All class. Rahane backs away, picks the length delivery and lofts it over wide long-off for a towering six. Pristine timing

Noor Ahmad to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, out Caught by Dhoni!! Edged and taken! A googly outside off, Angkrish Raghuvanshi has a poke at it and gets an outside edge that has been taken by Dhoni. The two spinners working in tandem. Ashwin building pressure with dot balls from one end and Noor taking wickets from the other end.. Good team-work by the CSK bowlers. Angkrish Raghuvanshi c Dhoni b Noor Ahmad 1(2)

Noor Ahmad to Narine, out Stumped!! Tossed up delivery around middle and leg, Narine shimmies down the wicket and looks to whip this away, but gets beaten and struck on the pads. The ball rolls towards Dhoni following that and he manages to whip the bails off before Narine can get back in. Comfortably out of the crease and Narine's cameo comes to an end.. Narine st Dhoni b Noor Ahmad 26(17) [4s-4 6s-1]

Anshul Kamboj to Narine, FOUR, runs coming thick and fast! This was on the batsman's pads and Narine flicks it through backward square leg as the ball races away to the fence in a jiffy

Anshul Kamboj to Rahane, 1 run, 50-run stand up! A length delivery around middle and leg, knocked to mid-on by Rahane for a single

Anshul Kamboj to Rahane, FOUR, brilliant! This was pitched up by the bowler outside off, Rahane walks down the track and smashes it over covers. Making the most of the powerplay are these two batters

Anshul Kamboj to Rahane, SIX, superb shot! Back of a length around off, Rahane walks across in the crease, goes down on his knee and scoops it over fine leg for half-a-dozen. Right into the CSK dugout

Ashwin to Narine, SIX, 50 up for KKR! This was fraction short outside off and the batsman has launched it over the bowler's head for half-a-dozen. Played it off the back foot and middled it to perfection

Ashwin to Narine, FOUR, drifting on the pads, Narine clears his front leg and swipes this over square leg for a boundary once again. Cleared Khaleel comfortably

Ashwin to Narine, FOUR, Ashwin concedes a boundary straightaway. A loopy delivery on middle and leg, Narine flicks it through square leg for four runs. Wasn't middled, but enough to fetch him four

Anshul Kamboj to Rahane, 2 runs, dropped by Pathirana! Rahane goes for a pull against this short and and mistimes it, the fielder at deep square leg settles under the skier and tries to grab it, but fails to latch on to it. Guess the fielder tripped on that occasion, hence he couldn't get into a safe position to take it

Anshul Kamboj to Narine, FOUR, Narine opens his account. Short of a length delivery around off, Narine looks to swipe across the line, gets a top edge over the slip cordon. That ball shaped away slightly, hence the batsman couldn't middle it

Khaleel Ahmed to Rahane, FOUR, ends the over with a boundary! Back of a length delivery around middle and leg, Rahane gets into position quickly and slogs this towards deep mid-wicket. Went miles up in the air, but landed just in front of the cushions. Manages to beat a couple of fielders near the boundary

Khaleel Ahmed to Rahane, FOUR, stand and deliver! Pitched up the bowler around middle and leg, Rahane stays put and whips it towards wide long-on. One bounce and over the boundary for four runs

Anshul Kamboj to Rahane, FOUR, streaky. A length delivery around off, Rahane plays this with soft hands and the outside edge flies through the second slip region and races away to the boundary

Anshul Kamboj to Gurbaz, out Caught by Noor Ahmad!! Anshul Kamboj strikes in his first over, end of Gurbaz's little cameo. This was a length delivery around middle and leg, Gurbaz flicks it uppishly and finds Noor Ahmad at mid-wicket. Taken comfortably KKR have lost an early wicket. He has looked good at the start, but hasn't been able to convert those starts. Gurbaz c Noor Ahmad b Anshul Kamboj 11(9) [4s-1 6s-1]

Anshul Kamboj to Gurbaz, SIX, welcome into the attack Mr.AK 47, says Gurbaz. A length delivery by Anshul Kamboj, Gurbaz stands tall and swings this over deep mid-wicket for a towering six. Sweet..

Khaleel Ahmed to Gurbaz, FOUR, Gurbaz opens his account with a boundary. This was pitched up by the bowler and Gurbaz drills it through the gap at covers as the ball races away to the fence quickly
