Since 2013, KKR have lost just once while chasing at Eden Gardens in 15 attempts. The defeat was against MI last year and the defeat before that was also against MI way back in 2012. Can they keep up with the trend? Who will play a blinder for them? Join Vishal Dikshit for the chase shortly.

9.45pm KKR's highest successful IPL chase is 200, so they've to do the unthinkable to get home. The innings was in third gear till the 12th over. Then came a turnaround courtesy a blistering Ishan Kishan half-century. KKR lost the plot then and there. The last seven overs have cost them 98.

70.4% of runs came in boundaries. Woah!

Ishan Kishan: Had a chat with the seniors. All they told me was back yourself, play however you play. I was focusing on connecting the ball well. Today was my day, I just wanted to watch the ball closely and keep smacking them. I was waiting for the short ball so that I could pull, here the ball travels well. A big total was much-needed, they're the home team, they know these conditions. We've got a good total.

Chawla to KH Pandya, SIX, pulled, and pulled very very well. What a flourish, what a finish. Sitting up nicely as Krunal muscled this over deep midwicket. KKR will have to bat out of their skins to get this. 22 off the last over, not the finish they wanted.

Chawla to Cutting, OUT, drags this from outside off, so there's no timing on this heave and DreRuss takes a superb catch with the boundary triangle just around the corner of his eyes. Took three steps to his right, maintained his balance and took it without much fuss.

Chawla to Cutting, no run, swung through early, missed. Hit on the back

Sooryanarayanan: "This is where MI is wasting an overseas spot in Duminy. Not got a chance to bat tonight as I type, and has been very slow to tee off when he has. Fizz as a death bowler will add more value." -- He can slip in a few quiet overs upfront

Chawla to Cutting, FOUR, clobbered! This time on the bounce, bisects deep midwicket and long-on. He went length, got punished.

Umang Poddar: "Prasidh has bowled so much better than those figures suggest. Edges, a dropped catch and mistimed pulls can result in a bowler being dropped for no particular fault of his own"

Prasidh Krishna to Sharma, OUT, toe-ends a lofted hit straight to mid-off. First IPL wicket for Prasidh and a slower delivery has earned him one. His one-time Karnataka team-mate takes the catch.

RG Sharma c Uthappa b Prasidh Krishna 36 (31b 2x4 1x6) SR: 116.12

Prasidh over Russell. Perhaps because he's aggravated his injury? Only time will tell but the signs aren't good.

Curran to HH Pandya, OUT, another full toss, surely a no-ball? They've asked for the ball back. Straight to long-on. Replays suggest this was just below the waist. Hardik has to go but he's done his job.
