	Kolkata Knight Riders innings (20 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
	JH Kallis	c Gayle b Vettori	40	42	4	0	95.23
	13.2 the big bird goes flying and comes down with the ball, Kallis rocks back to a shortish one and tries to hammer it over extra cover, doesn't time it that well, and Gayle at short extra cover goes leaping to his left, went very fast for the big man he is, and took the screamer cleanly 102/2
	BJ Haddin†	c Kohli b Syed Mohammad	18	11	2	1	163.63
	4.5 gets reward for some tight bowling, tossed this one up a bit, Haddin backed away a touch and went for the big lofted shot over mid off from the crease, this one turned a bit, and he got the edge that settled safely in to the hands of Virat at point 44/1
	G Gambhir*	c Dilshan b Aravind	48	38	6	0	126.31
	17.2 Gautam falls, slower one from back of the hand, very full, Gautam makes room and tries to hammer it over extra cover, but hits it straight to the man there, it is Dilshan, fine innings from Gautam but good time for Bangalore to strike 139/3
	YK Pathan	c Kohli b Aravind	46	24	3	3	191.66
	19.4 YK departs in search of the forcing shot down the ground, this one was slanted across him and cut away too, he had a huge heave and ended up slicing it wide of long off where Virat ran to his left to take a neat catch 169/4
	EJG Morgan	run out (†de Villiers/Aravind)	6	6	0	0	100.00
	19.6 from Aravind, looks to scoop this one on leg stump away, but misses, they try to steal the bye, but AB relays the ball to Aravind who finds Morgan short of his ground 171/5
