Full on middle, Hetmyer tucks it to short mid-wicket. Cummins finishes with 3/24 from his 4! He can have a smile about it but in the grand scheme of things, it does not matter.

Pat Cummins to Rishabh Pant
OUT! CAUGHT! Pant looks to finish it with a bang and hurry but departs! Something to smile about for Mavi who has had a bad game. Fullish around off, Pant looks to go downtown against Cummins. He does not time it well and hits it straight down the throat of long on. Mavi there stays inside the advertising cushion and takes the catch. Cummins gets his third!

NOT OUT! The ball has missed the bat and clipped the shoulder on its way to the keeper. Cummins knew it but it was a hopeful review from Morgan. Slowish bumper from Cummins! Rishabh looks to play but is surprised by the bounce on it. It kisses his shoulder and goes to the keeper. The Kolkata players appeal but the umpire is unmoved. Cummins turns his back but Morgan reviews it. Replays find that it misses the bat and clipped the shoulder.

Pat Cummins to Prithvi Shaw
OUT! CAUGHT! Cummins has something to smile about. End of a fabulous knock from Shaw. He has played a ripper and we all know he deserves the Man of the Match award for this. He was looking to finish this game quickly so that his team could boost their run rate but in looking to do so, he has perished. Short ball around off, Shaw looks to slam it over on the off side. He lost his shape and control as he looks to hit it. He slices it in the air. Rana keeps his eyes on the ball and dives to take a good catch.

OUT! LBW! Cummins gets a wicket. Dhawan has been removed. A low full toss, Dhawan looks to flick but misses to get hit plumb in front. An appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Dhawan walks off. A sensible knock from him, provided he had Shaw going all-guns-blazing at the other end.

Another gem of a yorker. Cummins can just jams it to the on side for one.
Good stop from Smith! Low full toss around off, Russell slams it powerfully to the right of long off. Both Russell and Cummins are ball watching. Smith runs to his right and saves a boundary. The ball-watching from the two Kolkata players sees it be just a one.

FOUR! Good shot! Full around off it is in the slot. Cummins slams it through covers for a boundary.

SIX! Russell-Mania has arrived in Ahmedabad! The question is, is it too late? Rabada misses his yorker and bowls it in the slot. Russell smokes it over the cow corner fence for a biggie.

A huge swing but a big miss! Slower short ball outside off, Russell throws his bat at it as he looks to pull. Unfortunately, he connects with nothing.

Length ball around off, Cummins hits it across the line but with no timing. Just a run. Russell gets the strike after a long, long time but he too has not been at his lethal best.

Yorker outside off, Cummins cannot get it away. Fantastic from the youngster.
FOUR LEG BYES! Full on the pads, Cummins looks to flick but it kisses his pad and goes fine down the leg side and to the fence. Does not matter how the runs come as long as they keep coming.

Axar smartly pulls his length back and pitches it around off. It comes in with the angle as this is bowled quicker too. Karthik looks to play the reverse hit over short third man but he misses and gets hit on the pad. An appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. DK reviews it but it does not help him as Ultra Edge first shows no spike and Ball Tracker shows three reds.
FOUR! Good shot but cannot rest on it though. Kolkata need a lot more of these. Floated on off, Karthik sweeps it flat and powerfully through the cow corner region for a boundary.
Single to end the over. Very full and outside off, Karthik moves on the off side and looks to sweep. The ball takes the outer half and goes to the off side.

A single now. Low full toss, Russell drills it to long on for one.
Good comeback from Ishant! Wide yorker. Russell looks to squeeze it on the off side but misses.

OUT! TAKEN! Avesh strikes. Set Gill has been sent packing. Another fine catch from Smith. Gill once again has played a very slow knock and when it was time for him to go big, he has fallen. He once again makes room. The bowler follows him and serves him a full ball. Gill goes for the slog on the leg side but he miscues it off the toe end. The ball goes to the right of Smith. The Aussie moves that side swiftly to pouch the chance. Half the side for Kolkata back in the hut.

He looks to play but misses. Lalit does not as he hits the off stump.
Darted fuller on middle, Gill turns it to the on side for one.
OUT! CAUGHT! Lalit's impressive game continues as he sends back the Kolkata skipper for a silver duck. Very good catch from Smith and he has made it look easy. Good captaincy from Pant too as he has persisted with Lalit and is spot on with his field placement too. Tossed up on middle, Morgan looks to go inside-out over extra cover. He does not time it well. Smith in the deep there covers a lot of distance to his right and takes a good catch.
Short on middle, Gill clips it in front of square on the leg side for one.
Good stop from Hetmyer! Full toss around off, Gill drives it to the right of short extra cover. Hetmyer there dives and saves runs for his side. He parries it away which allows the batters to get at least one. Slow first half for Kolkata. They are 73/1 at the halfway mark of this innings.

On the pads, Morgan looks to flick but misses. It clips his pad and goes to the leg side for a leg bye.
OUT! CAUGHT! Stoinis strikes in his first over and Tripathi's struggle comes to an end. Full and wide outside off, Tripathi looks to slam it over cover-point. He does not get in position to play that shot though. He throws his hands at it and just slices it to the man in the deep. Lalit Yadav is a very good fielder and he was never going to drop those. He accepts a simple catch.
EDGED AND FOUR! Full and wide outside off, Tripathi swings but gets an outside edge which takes the ball over short third man. No one in the deep there so easy for Tripathi. Much needed boundary for Rahul.
Play and a miss! Tripathi's struggle continues. We saw Dube earlier in the day and Warner struggle and that cost their sides the game. He looks to put pressure on Stoinis straightaway. He comes down the track but misses.
