That ball was travelling, but he did well to hold on. Uthappa c Warner b Karn Sharma 30(27) [4s-3]

6.2 - Karn Sharma to Gambhir, out Caught by Eoin Morgan!! Rush of blood has cost Gambhir.

17.1 - J Botha to Karn Sharma, SIX, tossed up on the stumps, Karn goes for a big loft over long-off, doesn't connect too well. Pandey at the rope, jumps up and tries to take the catch, but can only manage to parry it over the fence. Nice effort though

19.4 - A Russell to P Kumar, out Caught by U Yadav!! Short slow delivery outside off, Praveen was looking to ramp it over the keeper but can only hit it high in the air. Short third man moves to his left and takes a simple catch. P Kumar c U Yadav b A Russell 12(16) [4s-1]

17.5 - J Botha to Karn Sharma, out Caught by Suryakumar Yadav!! Finally, Botha has the last laugh as Karn makes his way back to the hut.

Karn Sharma c Suryakumar Yadav b J Botha 32(20) [6s-3]

14.1 - B Hogg to Henriques, out Caught by M Pandey!! Henriques goes first ball after the strategic time-out. HYD are falling apart here.

He judged it really well. Henriques c M Pandey b B Hogg 41(33) [4s-2 6s-2]

12.0 - Chawla to Bipul Sharma, out Bipul Sharma Run Out!! 1 run completed. This is disastrous from HYD. Another one goes down. Bipul Sharma worked this delivery off his pads past square leg, the batsmen decide to take the second but Bipul Sharma was slow to turn back for his second, the fielder from deep mid-wicket runs to his left and fires a flat throw at the striker's end. Uthappa does the rest. Bipul Sharma run out (Umesh Yadav/Uthappa) 1(2)

11.4 - Chawla to Vihari, out Stumped!! Half the side is back in the hut now.

Vihari's struggle comes to an end. Vihari st Uthappa b Chawla 6(12)

Morgan was nowhere in the picture. Eoin Morgan run out (Gambhir/ten Doeschate) 5(11)

4.5 - B Hogg to Dhawan, out Caught by M Pandey!! Dhawan has hit a half-tracker straight to the fielder. He can't believe he has picked out the fielder, but Hogg is chuffed to bits, he knows that was a lucky breakthrough. A real long hop on middle and leg, Dhawan goes deep in the crease, it should have been put away, but he pulls it straight to backward square leg. Pandey didn't move an inch to take that. Dhawan c M Pandey b B Hogg 15(15) [4s-3]

1.0 - U Yadav to N Ojha, out Bowled!! Another one for Umesh. HYD in trouble as Ojha departs without troubling the scorers.

Dream start for Umesh and KOL. N Ojha b U Yadav 0(3)

0.3 - U Yadav to Warner, out Bowled!! Castled! The Eden Gardens goes berserk. Umesh is delighted as he goes on a celebratory run. Full delivery shapes away from the left-hander, Warner is opened up a touch, he tries to defend, the ball seams away and beats the outside edge, the off-stump is pegged back. Super start for the hosts. Warner b U Yadav 4(3) [4s-1]

15.1 - J Botha to Karn Sharma, no run, dropped! Uthappa has put this down, it was floated up outside off and turns away, Karn looks to run it down towards third man, but gets an outside edge and Uthappa can't hang onto it
