Ben Laughlin to D Karthik, Begins with a length ball outside off, Karthik guides it fine towards third man. Sodhi does well in the deep with a slide to keep it down to a brace. It is checked upstairs and the umpires are happy with what they have seen.

Ben Laughlin's time to use the ball now.

S Gopal to D Karthik, Streaky single. Another loopy wrong one outside off, Karthik looks to drive it through covers but ends up getting an inside edge past the leg stick to short fine leg. A run taken.

S Gopal to D Karthik, Tossed up outside off, DK plays it to backward point.

S Gopal to S Gill, Short in length this time, Gill hangs back and plays a cross-batted shot. The ball rolls to deep mid-wicket for one.

S Gopal to D Karthik, Flighted wrong 'un outside off, Karthik picks it up early. He taps it towards covers and rotates strike.

S Gopal to D Karthik, Flatter outside off, cut away to backward point for nothing.

S Gopal to D Karthik, FOUR! Deft. Floated up but on the pads, Karthik goes back and just manages to tickle it away fine. Short fine leg gives a valiant chase but comes second best.

Time for the break, the strategic one! This phase has belonged completely to Rajasthan. Steady inflow of wickets for them sees them in this position. The 14-run over from Unadkat, perhaps, is the only blotch on their bowling so far. The tweakers, too, have come into their own and are having fun while the ball turns. Kolkata need some serious batting to be done to see them out of this mush. Karthik and Gill are very much capable of this. With Russell and the likes to follow, they can still be hopeful of a good finish.

Ish Sodhi to D Karthik, Tossed up outside off, driven through covers for a single.

Ish Sodhi to S Gill, Floated in line of the stumps, Gill works it through mid-wicket to open his account.

Ish Sodhi to D Karthik, Karthik goes back to this one and works it away to the leg side for one.

Ish Sodhi to D Karthik, Another lovely googly. Karthik perhaps didn't pick it. He goes back to cut it but due to the spin inwards, ends up chopping on the track.

Ish Sodhi to D Karthik, Slower through the air around middle and off, a bit of spin away. Dinesh goes deep in the crease and pushes it back.

Ish Sodhi to D Karthik, Flatter outside off, Karthik cuts it through point and picks up two.

The young gun Shubman Gill is the next man in.

S Gopal to C Lynn, OUT! The fact that Lynn is not at his comfortable best against spin could now be written in bold letters. This dismissal adds fuel to the fact. Gopal dishes out another wrong one around off, it isn't too full in length. Lynn goes back to punch it. All he ends up doing is offer a straightforward catch to Gopal, who accepts it gleefully. Kolkata slide further.
