IPL 2016: Part II

Very good start from KKR. A big score might be incoming here. Gambhir looking very good and Pandey has come out swinging from the hips. Kohli, Gayle and ABdV will all need to be firing on all cylinders tonight.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will have to win the match , if they are to stay in the hunt of a place in the final four.

Brilliant 50 from Gambhir, playing exclusively orthodox and classical shots. Lovely to see so many straight bat shots. Chris Jordan has bowled two fantastic overs for RCB. Really impressed with his line and change of speeds to good effect.

Bangalore feeling the heat. Gambhir and Pandey going great guns. Pathan and Russell still in the dug out.

A huge mix up between Gambhir and Pandey sees them both standing at the same end and Gambhir being run out. They had a similar mix up three overs before, but Gambhir was able to just get back in his crease, not so lucky this time. A shame, he was looking really good, but KKR still have plenty of batting to come.

Yusuf stumped !

KKR losing wickets at an alarming rate. All their good work early on is being undone. Russell still at the crease.

Interesting decision not to bowl Jordan out. I thought he had been the best bowler on display today. Watson is getting taken to the wood shed right now. Russell and Shakib teeing off.

A fantastic late innings cameo from Russell (39 off 19) gets KKR to 183/5. Should be a fantastic chase.

Gayle unloading on Andre Russell. Some big blows from the big man. To add insult to injury, Russell looks like he may have injured himself on that last delivery that went over the fence, too.
