M Morkel to Axar, FOUR, 16 off 3. Axar is turning it on here. Uses the length and width to ramp this deftly over short third man. Short, wide, punished...

Shakib to Gurkeerat Singh, FOUR, is that a six? Looks like it has landed on the full. The TV umpire is having a look at the replays and passes the verdict to the onfield ump. It's a only a boundary. Coming to the delivery: Full toss on the stumps, Gurkeerat Singh bashes it straight down the ground, landed just inches inside the rope

U Yadav to Maxwell, FOUR, that's a gift and Maxi accepts it gleefully. Short and begging to be hit. Down leg, Maxwell swivels and smacks the pull through short fine. Go fetch that!
11.4 -
B Hogg to Maxwell, FOUR, make that 14 off 3 balls. Absolute carnage from the Big Show. Bludgeons this loopy delivery straight down the ground, one bounce and over the ropes!
11.3 -
B Hogg to Maxwell, FOUR, through for a boundary! Maxwell flicks this full delivery and Manish at wide long-on overruns and the lets the ball slip through his hands
10.4 -
Chawla to Maxwell, FOUR, reverse lap and that's timed to perfection! Maxwell gets into position early and directs it well over of short third man. He adjusted well as Chawla fired it in, waited and helped it along the way
8.3 -
Chawla to W Saha, FOUR, the legbreak from Chawla, Saha drives sans any feet movement and squirts it off a thick outside edge past a diving short third man. 50 up for PUN

M Morkel to Maxwell, FOUR, bumper down the leg-side, Maxwell moves across the line and helps the pull over Hogg at short fine leg
5.1 -
M Morkel to Maxwell, FOUR, that is Maxwell for you. He creates shots. Nothing bad with the delivery, gets across and clips it past short fine leg
5.0 -
U Yadav to W Saha, FOUR, mistimes the loft on this length delivery. But thanks to powerplay restrictions, it flies over Russell at mid-off
4.4 -
U Yadav to W Saha, FOUR, room comes to Saha's rescue, always easy to flay shots when the ball is away from the body. Short and wide and Saha cuts it through point
2.3 -
A Russell to Vijay, byes, FOUR, cross seam delivery and what is Vijay doing? Throwing his bat wildly, does not connect and it beat the keeper into the fence
2.0 -
M Morkel to Vijay, FOUR, it's sheer luck that has fetched Vijay a four here. Back of a length delivery angled into him, he made a bit of room and then tried to flog it over deep mid-wicket, got a thick top edge that flew over short fine leg, one bounce and over the ropes

A Russell to Axar, SIX, and he does it again! Struck powerfully and off the meat, timed sweetly. When you bowl length at this stage, you cannot get away... A clean hit in the same area
17.5 -
A Russell to Axar, SIX, and Axar doesn't need any sighters! Just stays still and smites this fullish delivery over the wide long-on fence
14.2 -
Shakib to Maxwell, SIX, he's doing it for PUN. Maxwell shapes up for a big one, gets into position early - On one knee and depositing the tossed up delivery into the cow corner orbit
11.2 -
B Hogg to Maxwell, SIX, is it Maxi's day tonight? He is taking on the wily old fox. Flighted just outside off, Maxwell whips powerfully and that's gone all the way into the mid-wicket stands
10.2 -
Chawla to Maxwell, SIX, whoa! Mistimed and six. That's Maxi for you. Goes hard on this quicker one and didn't time the biff. Went miles up in the air and beats Russell's leap at long-off
9.5 -
B Hogg to Maxwell, SIX, that's cleanly struck! Maxwell brings his bottom hand into play as he lofts one handsomely over extra cover. Orthodox stuff!

A Russell to Swapnil Singh, out Lbw!! Russell has his hands aloft and Gambhir is seen punching fists with someone in the dug out. This is some serious stuff from Russell - SRK is up on his feet, applauding the amazing stuff from the West Indian. Hurled full targeting middle and leg. Swapnil Singh walks across and slogs across the line. Misses and the "slow raising finger" is up...Swapnil Singh lbw b A Russell 0(1)
19.3 -
A Russell to Gurkeerat Singh, out Gurkeerat Singh Run Out!! 1 run completed. And the kamikaze continues. Gurkeerat Singh has hit that alright. Lofted one to the right of long-off and there was never a two there. Sathish sends in an accurate throw to Robbie who does the bail-whipping job. It was a spectacular throw to be honest. Take a bow Sathish! Gurkeerat Singh run out (Sathish/Uthappa) 11(11) [4s-1]
19.2 -
A Russell to Gurkeerat Singh, out Axar Run Out!! Kolkata go berserk! Russell is on fire. As Mel Jones exclaims on air: "You cannot keep him out of the game." It was a low full toss, driven straight back to the bowler. Russell fields in his followthrough, sees Axar backing a long way and flings the ball air-borne. M-A-G-I-C-A-L stuff. The stumps are shattered and so are PUN's hopes? Axar run out (A Russell) 21(7) [4s-1 6s-2]
17.3 -
A Russell to D Miller, out Caught by (sub)Sathish!! Is this the game for KOL? I definitely think so. But look at those figures from Andre Russell. 3/3 - Unbelievable stuff. Dipping full toss just outside off, Miller thumps it straight down the throat of long-on. Miller wasn't happy - Thought it was a no ball for height but must say, its a fair call from the TV ump. D Miller c (sub)Sathish b A Russell 13(18)
15.4 -
Chawla to Maxwell, out Lbw!! "It's the slow raising finger" - Richie Benaud-esque. Maxwell has been quite itchy in the last 2 overs and now he perishes trying a fancy shot. Looks to reverse sweep the googly and gets nowhere near it. It landed on a length and rapped him in front of middle and off. Chawla screams his throat out and so does Robbie. The umpire waits, waits, ......waits for an eternity and then brings the edge index finger into play. Good grief! Maxwell lbw b Chawla 68(42) [4s-6 6s-4]
9.0 -
Chawla to W Saha, out Bowled!! Dragged on! The legspinner from Chawla. Slightly fuller and wide of off, Saha sinks to one knee and looks to fetch the sweep, ends up dragging it off the toe and clattering the stumps. The stumps are in a mess and Saha ain't looking back. W Saha b Chawla 24(20) [4s-3]
3.1 -
M Morkel to Vijay, out Caught by Shakib!! If the previous one was ugly, I do not have words for this. Ever since Vijay came, he looked in a bit of hurry. The kind of hurry openers show when they do not have faith in the middle order. Tries to loft this length delivery over the off-side, the bounce was a bit more and all Vijay could do was mistime it for an easy catch to mid-off. Punjab are three down in no time. Vijay c Shakib b M Morkel 6(11) [4s-1]
3.0 -
A Russell to Vohra, out Caught by Shakib!! No, no this is not how Leicester won the EPL. They were sensible throughout the season, not wild like Vohra this time. Short delivery and he lifted it, in fact just chipped the whip towards deep backward square leg. Did not account for the fielder there, who did not have to move an inch. Retchingly ugly this from Vohra, purely because he had no game awareness this time. Vohra c Shakib b A Russell 0(5)
0.4 -
A Russell to Stoinis, out Caught by Chawla!! This is not how you chase a target - losing a wicket on the 4th delivery of the innings. Nothing shot from Stoinis. Length delivery around off, he threw his bat at it, had no timing behind it. The ball spooned towards Piyush Chawla at mid-off, who accepted the gift gleefully. Stoinis c Chawla b A Russell 0(3)
13.4 -
U Yadav to Maxwell, 2 runs, makes room and gets ample width to slap one through extra cover. Uthappa gets a bad bounce but could have perhaps snaffled it. Misses and allows a overthrow and an extra run
11.5 -
B Hogg to Maxwell, 1 run, fifty for Maxi! He needed this badly, didn't he? Just a raise of the bat as he nudges one through mid-wicket
