Kolkotta score a sedate 148




KKR are 108/5! Except for Manoj Tiwari who is on 45 not out, none of the Kolkotta batsmen impressed.

Umesh Yadav bowling above 140 kph struck twice removing Y Pathan ( who was caught by his younger brother ) and Eoin Morgan.

Kallis was bowled by Irfan and Goswami was caught Ojha bowled Agarkar. Only Tiwari ( still going strong on 46 ) impressed. Yousuf was out for 5 and Tendo has just come in.

Gambhir was out for 18 off Hopes and suddenly Kolkotta found themselves too deep in the mulligatawny soup ! They were going strong at 80/2 and suddenly lost three priceless wickets, that of Gambhir, Yousuf and Morgan !

Kolkotta has been restricted to 148 by the Delhi seamers, Irfan, Yadav, Morket, Agarkar and Hopes. Now DDD want 149 to win.
