Royal Challengers Bangalore Vs Kolkata Knight Riders Live Score (T20)

19.1FOUR! Shubman Gill adds the finishing touch! He removes the helmet and lets out a huge roar in delight. Lynn walks across to him and the entire Kolkata dugout is pumped. Short of a length delivery outside off, Gill gets on top of the bounce and dispatches it through point for a boundary to seal the deal with 5 balls to spare.

18.6Very full on middle, Gill jams it out through mid-wicket and will keep strike for the final over. 172/4

18.5OUT! What a catch from Virat Kohli. Absolutely stunning but he is fuming from within as he throws the ball back to the umpire after claiming that catch. Back of a length on middle, DK flat-bats it down towards long on. Kohli rushes across to his left, the ball was dying in front of him but he dives forward to snatch it inches above the ground.

18.4Wants to finish it off in a cheeky manner. Sees that the third man is inside the ring so tries to play the reverse scoop but fails to connect.

17.3Well in! Slower delivery on middle, DK comes down the track and works it in the gap at mid-wicket. He calls for two and Lynn responds. There is a direct hit scored at the striker's end and it's referred upstairs. Replays show Dinesh is well in. So two more added to the total.

16.4Slower ball outside off, Lynn lets it be and it is called a wide.

It is a well-directed bumper on middle, Russell clears his front let and goes for the pull. The ball takes the top edge and goes towards fine leg. De Kock runs back, judges it and takes an excellent catch. Never easy those. The Bangalore players are all pumped up. 37 in 21 needed.

16.2FOUR! Misfield! You can't just do that at this moment. You have to back your bowlers. Poor by Chahal. This is a good ball by Siraj full and outside off. Rana squeezes it through cover-point. Chahal in the deep runs to his left and then lets the ball through his legs. Rana is now down on the ground. He seems to be struggling, not sure about the exact reason.

15.1Clever bowling! Even before delivering the ball, Lynn sits down to play the sweep shot but this is the wrong one which turns back in and goes right under his bat and past the off pole. It missed the off stump by a whisker.

14.6A bit short and angling away, Nitish cuts hard but finds Mandeep at backward point. Excellent over from Southee, just 4 from it. 52 is what Kolkata need from 30 balls. 124/2

14.5Lynn tries to jam this very full delivery but squirts it off the inner half behind square on the leg side for a single.

14.4Slower bumper on middle, it keeps rising and gets big on Rana who is in no position to pull but still goes on with that shot. Gets it off the top edge which goes over the stumps. The man from backward point charges in and in the meanwhile, they steal a brisk single.

13.4Quicker delivery around middle and leg, CL once again brings out the sweep shot. Beats the man at backward square leg who is inside the circle and picks two.

13.3Now tries to play the reverse sweep. Connects but finds the man at short third man. Two dots. What will Lynn do now?

13.1FOUR! He's hit that so, so hard! Flatter delivery to begin the final over, Lynn sits down and nails the sweep through backward square leg. There were two men in the deep but it goes right between them and across the fence. Booming hit!

12.2OUT! Robin Uthappa departs without converting a start yet again! Flighted delivery, turning away a touch, Robin Uthappa sits down to play the mighty slog but gets it off the toe end of the bat. It goes straight down the throat of Tim Southee stationed at long on. The breathtaking stand is broken. 68 needed from 46 balls. Is this the turning point of the game?

12.2Wide! Turning away from a length outside off, Robin plays and misses.

12.1A bit too full in length and it's eased down to long on for a single.

11.6SIX! It was turning out to be a good over but a biggie on the last ball spoils the good work! Touch short on middle, sits up to be hit and Uthappa swivels a touch and pulls it with authority over deep backward square leg for half a dozen. Moves to 40 with that. 106/1

7.2The googly on middle, Uthappa works it towards short fine leg for a run.

7.1OUT! Murugan Ashwin strikes off his first ball. He is all pumped up. He would have been low after dropping a catch but his confidence will be right up there now. He floats this one up on off, it is in the zone for Narine as he tries to clear long off. He does not get the desired connection and it goes into the hands of de Grandhomme who takes a good catch just ahead of the ropes.
