A match turning over this. Smith comes from round the wicket and misses his lines. Keeps bowling on Russell’s pads and he keeps smacking them.

SIX! Another one in the over. 4 6 6 0 6 so far in the over.

Russell taking on Smith. What splendid hitting. Full on middle Russell smacks it straight down the ground. He didn’t quite get it off the middle but it still sailed over the ropes.

Brilliant couple of overs for PBKS. Chahar got two wickets in the seventh over. He got the ball to turn. Induced a top edge off Shreyas Iyer and then had Rana trapped LBW. He bowls a wicket maiden. Harpreet Brar then complements him well, bowls a tight over and gives away just three runs.

After 6 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 51/2 ( Shreyas Iyer (C) 26 , Sam Billings (W) 8)

RCB vs KKR Live Score

KKR getting the scorecard ticking despite the loss of two wickets. Shreyas thumps the first ball from Rabada through point for a FOUR. And a couple of twos and a single make it 9 off the over. The 50 is up. It’s a mixed Powerplay for both the teams. Probably a bit better for KKR with 50 runs already scored.

After 5 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 42/2 ( Shreyas Iyer (C) 21 , Sam Billings (W) 4)

Iyer is looking good out in the middle and KKR are scoring runs but they have lost the openers. Rabada gives away 8 runs as Iyer drives a low full toss down the ground of a FOUR. In the next over, Odean Smith doesn’t start off well, gives away a FOUR first ball with one down the leg side but hits back with the wicket of Venkatesh Iyer. Billings then gets off the mark in style next ball with a FOUR. 9 runs and a wicket off the Smith over. 17 runs and a wicket off the last two.

Rahane was looking good in the middle, he hit a lovely cover drive for a FOUR as well in the Rabada over. But then he went for that drive again off the last ball and perished, caught at short third man.  A good over from Rabada, 6 runs and a wicket off it. It was turning out to be a good next over from Arshdeep, he targets that fourth stump line and good length and bowls four dots. But then errs in line and length, bowls one full and gets driven for a FOUR through extra cover and then bowls one wide and gets crashed over point. 14 runs and a wicket off the last two overs.

After 1 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 8/0 ( Ajinkya Rahane 8 , Venkatesh Iyer 0)

RCB vs KKR Live Score

Brilliant over from Chakaravarthy. He too finishes a fantastic spell. 4-0-14-0. He beats Rabada’s outside edge three times with that wrong’un in the 16th over. Southee then releases the presssure as he misses his lengths. Bowls in the slot and gets clobbered for 4 4 6 off the first three balls by Southee. He bowls a NO ball as well. But the Free Hit yields just one run. The last two balls are DOTS. 16 runs off the over. 18 runs off the last 2 overs.
