Four, Darren Sammy gets slapped for four by Manish Pandey and KKR have some relief.
7 runs off the over, KKR 21/1 after 5 overs
Dropped. Utthappa goes high, but he cannot get the distance. We think he has holed out to cover but then, the fielder spoons an easy catch. This is a strange match.

OUT! Run out, a good innings is nipped in the bud. Utthappa goes for 40.

Four. Short of a length and Yusuf Pathan cuts it away for four.
Kolkata 88/2 after 13 overs
Gambhir is going to wear the same look in the dug out until @KKRiders wins the game now #SRHvsKKR #PepsiIPL @bhogleharsha

Dale Steyn is back, this is a very crucial over
Pathan goes hard at a full and fast ball, can get just two off an edge
13 needed off 10
This is wild. Pathan is in lots of strife against Steyn, his shots are heading in the opposite direction to what he intends. This was full and fast, on middle, Pathan tried to flick it away to the on side, it spooned over point for one!!
RTD now swings and misses at a near-yorker
Single to end the over, great over, 10 needed off 6.
