Shreyas Iyer is the new man in.
P Chawla to J Roy, OUT! No Roy show today! A lot of hopes would have been relying on him and he has failed to deliver. Like they say, everyday is not a Sunday. Roy comes charging down the track, seeing him, Chawla drifts this down the leg side. Jason cannot get bat to this and Karthik completes the formalities. A very good stumping. Delhi get the wide run but what's more important is the loss of their in-form opener.

Delhi will be a little disappointed with themselves. After the good start Trent Boult gave them, you'd think the rest would follow suit. The problem for them was that they couldn't contain partnerships from being formed, which cost them. Almost everyone chipped in, but the wickets didn't come when they should have. All a little too late, when the damage was more or less done. Now, like last time, with a big target to chase down, the start will be crucial. All eyes will be on how Jason Roy goes about his business. Stay tuned for all the action.
A very good batting performance from the home side, especially after being put into bat. After Narine's early departure, Lynn and Uthappa were moving along steadily and put up a fifty stand. It set the platform for the middle order to take advantage of. A couple of decent partnerships were formed, but the real onslaught started when Rana and Russell joined forces out in the middle. Their 61-run stand came in no time, with Russell going ballistic. Rana stuck it out there, and credit to him, as he stroked himself to a fine half century, thereby seeing Kolkata on the 200-mark.
R Tewatia to Tom Curran, OUT! Third of the over from Tewatia. Good final one from him, just 1 off the over. Curran comes down the track and lofts it straight down Glenn Maxwell's throat at long on. They would have liked more, but it's a total the hosts can live with. KOLKATA FINISH ON 200/9!
Shivam Mavi next in to bat.
R Tewatia to P Chawla, OUT! Short, quick and around off, Chawla comes down the ground, looking to clear Eden Gardens. He instead gets a big top edge which balloons upwards. Pant moves to his left and gobbles it up with ease.

Skipper Gambhir moves back, settles himself under the ball and takes a safe catch. A stupendous knock from Nitish Rana comes to an end.
