- BATSMENRB4s6sSR14.2 Gibbs, oh Gibbs, slower one again and he has a rush of blood, makes room, takes that from a length and sends ir straight into the palms of long-off, well struck but not well enough, ends another threatening stand just like Mishra had done earlier 121/32.4 a massive wicket for Kolkata, Gilchrist looks to mow the ball over midwicket, gets the ball high on the bat, the ball swirls towards deep midwicket, Pujara runs in from the rope to safely take the catch, it looked like there would be a collision with Gayle who was running from inside the circle, but there was no problems in the end, Eden goes crazy 31/18.3 Mishra at the other end has gifted a wicket, that shot clearly lacked intent, slightly short and he simply struck that through the line, lofting it straight to Tiwary at long-on who hardly had to move 77/219.4 Symonds' struggle ends, full and quick outside off, makes room to crash that over long-off, miscues it to Kartik who runs to his right from point and takes a simple catch 151/515.3 gone! Short of a good length on leg stump and turned towards middle, Rohit was trying to work it into the leg side, missed it due to the turn, the ball clipped his thighs on the way to the stumps, and he's consumed three dot balls 125/4Extras7 (lb 2, w 5)TOTAL157/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.85)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (Adam Gilchrist, 2.4 ov), 2-77 (Mohnish Mishra, 8.3 ov), 3-121 (Herschelle Gibbs, 14.2 ov), 4-125 (Rohit Sharma, 15.3 ov), 5-151 (Andrew Symonds, 19.4 ov)
