Ben Laughlin to A Russell, SIX! Top edge but it doesn't matter how the runs come! Short in length around middle and leg, Russell goes for the pull. He gets cramped for room but still continues with the shot. The ball takes the top edge and sails over the deep backward square fence. 14 runs and a wicket off this one.

Overs17.2
Score141 - 6

Ben Laughlin to A Russell, SIX! A wicket has just fallen but who cares? Certainly not Russell! A slower delivery on a short of a length. The batter just bludgeons it over wide long on for half a dozen.

20:25 (IST) May 23

Javon Searles in next. He joins another mate from the Windies in the middle.

20:24 (IST) May 23

Overs17.1
Score135 - 6

Ben Laughlin to D Karthik, OUT! Timely breakthrough for Rajasthan! 50th T20 catch for skipper Ajinkya Rahane to see the back of his opposite number. Full and outside off, Karthik looks to smash it into orbit. That he does, but sans a lot of distance. Rahane backtracks from covers and takes a good catch tumbling backwards. End of a top knock from DK.

20:22 (IST) May 23

Ben Laughlin back on now.

Score129 - 5

J Unadkat to A Russell, SIX! Just over! Russell stands tall and heaves it towards deep mid-wicket. Samson is stationed there. He backtracks and looks to take it with a leap but fails to reach that. The ball goes the distance and Unadkat isn't happy for some reason.

Score122 - 5

J Unadkat to D Karthik, SIX! 16th Indian T20 League fifty for Dinesh Karthik! The skipper has led from the front even tonight. He gets low to play the lap shot but gets a thick top edge. The ball sails over the fence right behind the keeper.

20:18 (IST) May 23
FIFTY for Dinesh Karthik off 35 balls. KKR 122/5 in 16.1 overs
20:17 (IST) May 23

Jaydev Unadkat is back on.

20:15 (IST) May 23

The second strategic break of the innings! Kolkata were coasting with the Karthik-Gill stand, before the latter was dismissed. Now, they have a good platform to go all out in the last four overs. Rajasthan will look to concede as less as they can. Can they manage to keep KOL under 160?

Ish Sodhi to A Russell, Flatter outside off, cut away straight to backward point. 4-0-15-0 for Sodhi tonight.
