    Sharma to Praveen
    short this time, slashed away but it's only four, the fielder is busy celebrating instead of chasing the ball because Kolkata have pulled off a fine win here. Boucher is distraught. He reached his fifty but one probably felt he left too much for too late. Ganguly is satisfied and Shoaib comes on to the field to hug everyone. Shah Rukh is elated too
    15.5
    1
    Sharma to Boucher
    full again, on off, Boucher looks to back away and smash it but can't get the elevation again, swiped to midwicket and Eden erupts, they know it's all over, 10 needed of a ball and Ishant won't go back to Delhi if he over-steps
    15.4
    2
    Sharma to Boucher
    yorker again, no elevation for Boucher, Ishant is doing it brilliantly here, thwacked to midwicket but only two, this needs two sixes now, two Miandads
    15.3
    2
    Sharma to Boucher
    whacked to long-off but Taibu mis-fields there, they want the second and the fluff allows them, Praveen is coming back anyway, Boucher gets the strike but the match is running away
    15.2
    0
    Sharma to Boucher
    full and outside off, crashed to cover but Kartik stops it, no single again, Boucher wants the strike, he wants to win it
    15.1
    4
    Sharma to Boucher
    slower one but Boucher has managed to pull it away, he wasn't to the pitch of it but managed to find the gap anyway, Shukla runs across from square leg but can't get there, that runs away, what a start, 15 off 5.
    14.6
    0
    Kartik to Praveen
    fired into leg stump, Praveen can't get the elevation and the ball deflects to short fine leg, they turn down the single, Boucher wants the strike, he wants to win it. Where's your money?
    14.5
    1
    Kartik to Boucher
    down the track again, pulled away to long-on for a single, Praveen on strike now
    14.4
    4
    Kartik to Boucher
    down the track again, it's outside off and he's pasted that past the bowler for four, screams past him and there's no fielder stopping that
    14.3
    6
    Kartik to Boucher
    huge! what a response from Boucher, down the track and slapping that way over square leg for six, there was a fielder there and he's cleared it. He's blasting them now
    14.2
    4
    Kartik to Boucher
    down the track, nice little shimmy, over midwicket for four, that's a fine shot after the run-out, they need many more of those
    14.1
    W
    Kartik to Boucher
    Gone! run-out at the non-striker's end, Boucher cracks it back to the bowler and Kartik fields it superbly, White is backing up too far and can't get back to the crease, Kartik takes the bails off and Eden goes ballistic, they know the importance of that wicket, Bangalore have lost their way here
    13.6
    1
    Sharma to Boucher
    full again, Boucher cracks it past the bowler and thinks of two but White slips at the other end, what drama, what an over, Ishant might have just won Kolkata this match. Hair-cuts can wait
    13.5

    Sharma to White
    and another gem, yorker again, driven to midwicket for a single, four from five balls, this is as good as it gets
    13.4
    1
    Sharma to Boucher
    cracked hard towards cover, sliced it without timing, Hussey is there but he slips and can't get the catch, stops it anyway, well done after losing his balance, this is slipping away from Bangalore now
    13.3

    Sharma to Boucher
    well done again, slower ball this time outside off, tries to paddle it towards leg but misses that one, dot! now that's something special at this stage
    13.2
    1
    Sharma to White
    slow yorker this time, Ishant doing it well here, White digs it out and gets only a single
    13.1
    1
    Sharma to Boucher
    yorker length ball, can't get it away and straight to extra cover for a single
    12.6
    1
    Umar Gul to Boucher
    fine yorker from round the wicket, Boucher can't get any room here, shovels it straight down the ground for a single
    12.6
    2
    Umar Gul to White
    it's above the waist and has been called a no-ball, pulled away but straight in the air, falls in no-man's land but he needs to re-bowl that
