KKR vs CSK, IPL 2018 Live Cricket Score: Kolkata Knight Riders beat Chennai Super Kings by 6 wickets

L Ngidi to C Lynn, SIX! Downtown goes Lynn! Lungi delivers a fuller delivery but it's right in the arc for the big man. He gets under it and smokes it straight down the ground. Back-to-back biggies.

L Ngidi to C Lynn, SIX! When Lynn connects, most of the time it clears the fence, says Harsh Bhogle on air. That is exactly what has happened here. He swivels a bit to a length delivery and dumps it over deep square leg for a maximum to kickoff the run chase.

L Ngidi to C Lynn, Another good delivery! Lands it on a back of a length, some movement away. Chris has a wild slash at it but gets beaten all ends up.

L Ngidi to C Lynn, Great bouncer to begin with! Lungi comes steaming in and digs in a heavy delivery. Lynn is totally taken aback by it as he looks to fend it away. Gets it off the gloves but the ball dies down on the pitch.

We are back for the run chase. A stiff target for the hosts to gun down on a two-paced surface. And the task will begin with Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine getting things going. Lungi Ngidi to have the ball first up. A slip is in place. Here we go...

Narine and Kuldeep bowled brilliantly in the middle and pegged back Chennai with a couple of wickets, but a blitz in the end by Dhoni has seen them end up with something close to 180. The wicket is turning a little but Kolkata will fancy their chances in chasing down this total. Chennai on the other hand, will have to bowl well to come out victorious here. Whatever it may be, we can surely expect an exciting second half. Join us for the action in a while.

So Chennai end up with a decent total on the board and once again it is courtesy of their skipper, MS Dhoni, who scored an unbeaten 25-ball 43. After being put into bat, Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson came out all guns blazing. They got their team off to a flier before the former departed. Raina and Watson then joined forces to stitch another important stand before the Kolkata spinners came to the fore.

P Chawla to MS Dhoni, FOUR! A good way to finish the innings! Also a good last over, 15 from it. This is short and on middle, Dhoni rocks back and pulls it in front of square. There is no fielder in the deep there and a boundary results. CHENNAI FINISH WITH 177/5 ON THE BOARD!

P Chawla to R Jadeja, OUT! Jadeja's struggle comes to an end. He was done in by the pace there. Chawla fires this outside off and it is on the shorter side. It also bounces a touch extra. Jadeja tries to drag his pull on the leg side but gets a top edge which lobs towards short third man. Dinesh Karthik runs backwards and Sunil Narine from that position also comes ahead. The skipper gets to it and takes it. The batsmen cross though and Dhoni will face the last ball.

Karn Sharma is the next man in.

P Chawla to R Jadeja, FOUR BYES! Bonus runs for Chennai. This is slower through the air outside off, Jadeja goes for the slog sweep but misses. Dinesh behind the stumps fails to get down low quickly as the ball sneaks through his legs and goes to the fence behind.

P Chawla to R Jadeja, FOUR! Finally Jadeja connects one! Uses his feet, gets to the pitch of the ball and hits it hard over the bowler and the ball races away. Chennai needed this. 50-run stand is up between the two.

P Chawla to R Jadeja, Fires this outside off, Jadeja slaps it through covers for a couple.

P Chawla to MS Dhoni, Quicker and on the pads, Dhoni mistimes his pull towards deep square leg for a run. Just a single to start the last and also Dhoni is off strike now.

Piyush Chawla to bowl the last over. This is a big move from Dinesh Karthik.

S Narine to MS Dhoni, Dhoni guides this one towards point for a run. He played that very watchfully as he wanted to keep strike for the last over. Just 5 from the penultimate over and Narine finishes his spell with figures of 4-0-21-2. Very economical and he has also taken two big wickets.

S Narine to R Jadeja, The batsman has played the square drive. The batsmen have run through for a single.

S Narine to R Jadeja, This is fuller and on leg stump. Jadeja works it through mid-wicket for a brace.
