After 20 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 169/6 ( Manish Pandey 69 , Sunil Narine 1)

Mishra into the attack for the final over, and he deceives Woakes with a wrong ‘un! Starts off with a dot ball! Stumping chance in the second delivery after pitching it well outside Woakes’s off, drawing him into the shot. He misses, and replays confirm his dismissal with his foot outside the crease as Pant disturbs the bails. Narine flicks the third ball towards fine-leg for a single, getting Pandey back on strike. SIX! Wide outside off, Pandey connects in his slog down towards long-on beautifully, and sending the ball over the fielder! Pandey steers the fifth ball towards the wide long-off boundary, and collects two runs to guide his team home! 

Kolkata Knight Riders win by four wickets, and move to the top of the points table!

OUT! Woakes is stumped with his foot well outside the crease! What an over this is turning out to be for Mishra! More importantly, we have two dot balls at the start of the final over! KKR 160/6

Chris Woakes st Pant b Mishra 3(5)

After 19 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 160/5 ( Manish Pandey 61 , Chris Woakes 3)

Morris to bowl the crucial penultimate over. Outstanding work by Superman Samson at long-on, saving four runs for the hosts after Pandey looks to clear the boundary. Absolutely stunning! Quick double off the next ball, thanks to some lightning quick running between the wickets by Pandey and new batsman Woakes, who guides the fifth ball towards the leg side for a single. An absolute stunner by Morris to end the over, with the yorker beating Pandey’s defence completely. And we’re set for an exciting final over! Will we witness the first super over of this tournament? Let’s find out! 

Kolkata Knight Riders need 9 off 6 balls.

After 18 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 153/5 ( Manish Pandey 56 , Chris Woakes 1)

Cummins to bowl the 18th over. Suryakumar tries to ramp the first shot of the over towards fine third-man, though there is a fielder stationed there to save three runs for the side. Wide called for height in the third ball of the over. Good running between the wickets by the two next ball. Cummins gives Delhi a glimmer of hope in the penultimate delivery, with Suryakumar mis-hitting a full delivery straight to Zaheer at mid-off. Woakes walks out, and starts off with a quick single to retain the strike for the next over 

Kolkata Knight Riders need 16 off 12 balls.

After 17 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 147/4 ( Manish Pandey 53 , Suryakumar Yadav 6)

Morris into his third over, with Delhi now needing a miracle to continue their winning trend. Both Pandey and Yadav choose to remain sedate in this over, getting a single every ball. The fact that the game is perfectly balanced in their favour with six wickets in hand. 

Kolkata Knight Riders need 22 off 18 balls.

After 16 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 141/4 ( Manish Pandey 50 , Suryakumar Yadav 3)

Cummins returns to the attack for the first time since the last over of powerplay. Both Pandey and Suryakumar Yadav, the new batsman at the crease, deal in ones and twos in this over, with the former bringing up his half-century with an awkward tennis slap to send the ball wide of mid-on. Appeal for a run-out after a slight mix-up in the final ball of the over, though the Pandey returns to the non-striker’s end safely.

Kolkata Knight Riders need 28 off 24 balls.

After 15 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 135/4 ( Manish Pandey 48 , Suryakumar Yadav 0)

Morris back into the attack, with the game slowly slipping out of Delhi’s grasp right now. Terrible delivery in the fourth ball, as Pathan guides a full toss down his leg side towards the fine-leg boundary. Morris finally gets the breakthrough after Pathan offers him a return catch with a return catch. Pandey though, steers a full delivery outside off wide of the keeper towards the third man boundary to collect his fourth boundary. 10 off the over. 

Kolkata Knight Riders need 34 off 30 balls.

OUT! Morris pulls Delhi back into the game after collecting a return catch from Pathan, who miscues towards the short cover area. Pathan was looking to play this one across the line towards the leg side. The partnership finally ends at the 110-run mark. KKR 131/4

Yusuf Pathan c&b Morris 59(39)

After 14 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 125/3 ( Manish Pandey 43 , Yusuf Pathan 54)

Zak back into the attack in the 14th over. He was outstanding in his first spell, removing both de Grandhomme and Gambhir, and will certainly look to break the current partnership. Pathan gets to his half-century — his 15th in IPL and 21st in T20s — with a slog towards the wide long-on boundary, and collects a triple in the penultimate ball to bring up the 100-stand for the fourth wicket! Pandey tucks the last ball down the ground to end what turned out to be a very expensive over for Delhi, with 15 coming off it. The umpire signals for the second timeout of the innings. 

Kolkata Knight Riders need 44 off 36 balls.

After 13 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 110/3 ( Manish Pandey 38 , Yusuf Pathan 42)

Mathews from the other end, after bowling a tight first over. 100 comes up for KKR with a single at the start of the over. Beaufitul roll of wrists by Pandey next ball to flick a full delivery over the square-leg boundary. Pathan nearly gloves a slow bouncer from Mathews to keeper Pant in the fourth ball. Tight running between the wickets by Pathan and Pandey in the penultimate ball. Pandey tries slogging the last ball towards midwicket, though he gets only a single after the ball lands just short of Billings near the boundary.

Kolkata Knight Riders need 59 off 42 balls.

After 12 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 99/3 ( Manish Pandey 31 , Yusuf Pathan 40)

Shami into his third over. Pathan and Pandey once again choose to rotate the strike between themselves by dealing in singles. Pathan tries to slog the third ball down the ground, but doesn’t get more than a single due to the presence of a long-on fielder. Wide called in the penultimate delivery, and the over ends with a bit of a mix-up between Pandey and Pathan, with the former nearly getting run-out in the process. 

Kolkata Knight Riders need 70 off 48 balls.

After 10 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 88/3 ( Manish Pandey 27 , Yusuf Pathan 35)

Shami continues after the timeout. Pathan tries pulling the second ball, though he gets an inside edge onto his thigh. Five wides conceded in the fifth ball, after Shami fires a fuller delivery down Pandey’s leg side that beats Pant on its way to the fine-leg boundary. Deft touch by Pandey in the last ball as he guides it past the keeper towards the fine third man boundary. 13 off the over, and the pair have brought the KKR innings back to life by now. The equation looks a lot more managreable right now. 

Kolkata Knight Riders need 81 off 60 balls.

After 9 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 75/3 ( Manish Pandey 21 , Yusuf Pathan 33)

Mishra into his second over. Pandey comes down the track in the third ball of the over, and launches it straight down the ground past the sight screen like a bullet! The 50-partnership comes up with a wide and a single after the six. Four to end the over, with Pathan hammering the ball straight down the ground for a four. 14 off the over, and these two are starting to bring Kolkata back in the game. The umpire signals for the timeout at the end of the over. 

Kolkata Knight Riders need 94 off 66 balls.

After 8 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 61/3 ( Manish Pandey 13 , Yusuf Pathan 28)

Mohammed Shami introduced into the attack for the first time in the innings, and indeed the tournament. A double for Pandey at the start of the over. Shami keeps it tight in the rest of the over. Pathan hoicks the last ball towards the boundary between deep midwicket and long-on and manages to clear the fence. That was effortlessly done, such is his power! 

Kolkata Knight Riders need 108 off 72 balls.

After 7 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 52/3 ( Manish Pandey 10 , Yusuf Pathan 22)

Spin introduced after powerplay, with Mishra getting the ball. The team 50 comes up with a single in the first ball. Pandey uses all his power to pull a short ball in the penultimate delivery, but gets only a single due to the presence of a fielder in outfield. Just three runs off the over. 

Kolkata Knight Riders need 117 off 78 balls.

After 6 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 49/3 ( Manish Pandey 8 , Yusuf Pathan 21)

Cummins into his second over. Pathan tries to pull a short ball in the second ball, only to get a top-edge that carries all the way to the long-stop boundary. Doesn’t connect his pull properly next ball, but gets a boundary anyway after it lands in the vacant cow-corner region. Two balls later, it is Pandey’s turn to smash a back-of-length deliery towards the midwicket boundary. Good over for KKR, with 14 coming off it. End of the powerplay. 

Kolkata Knight Riders need 120 off 84 balls.

After 5 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 34/3 ( Manish Pandey 2 , Yusuf Pathan 12)

Zaheer into his third over. Yusuf guides the second ball, a back-of-length off-cutter, towards the backward square-leg boundary. Goes for the same shot next ball, though Zaheer changes his line this time, with the batsman getting a top-edge that nearly carries to Billings at the square-leg boundary. Just six off the over, and Zaheer has done a terrific job in the powerplay so far.

After 4 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 28/3 ( Manish Pandey 1 , Yusuf Pathan 7)

Morris introduced into the attack. Gets off the mark with a double in the second ball of the fourth over, before he goes for a lofted drive with a straight bat to get his first boundary. Seven off the over, including that boundary.

After 3 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 21/3 ( Manish Pandey 1 , Yusuf Pathan 0)

Zaheer into his second over. Shout for lbw in the first ball, though Gambhir sets off a single, which is called a leg-bye. Pandey gets off the mark in the first ball that he faces. Gambhir tries to up the scoring rate in the penultimate ball by coming down the track and swinging his bat across the line, but ends up miscuing it to Mathews at backward point. Two runs and a wicket off the over.
