Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 19th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Phew, we've had another cracking game! It saw 433 runs scored overall, a hundred from Harry Brook after three failures to start, a superb innings from Markram who took the spinners on when Brook was unable to, and then two blazing fifties from Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh to keep KKR in the hunt chasing 229. But it was probably Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mayank Markande who made the difference with the ball. So that's a wrap from us here as SRH bounce back after their poor start to the season to win two in a row. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. This is Sagar Chawla signing off on behalf of Praveen, MS Ramakrishnan and Saurabh Shankar. Goodbye!

Brook, Player of the Match: Was a special night. Thankfully we got over the line as well. Got a little tense in the middle. A lot of people say that opening the batting in T20 is the best time to bat. I'm happy to bat anywhere. I've had a lot of success batting at five. Made my name there. My four Test hundreds will have to be over this one. The crowd was phenomenal tonight. I enjoyed it. I was putting pressure on myself a little bit. You go on social media and people are calling you rubbish. There's a lot of Indian fans out there who'll say well done tonight. But they were slagging me off a few days ago. Glad I could shut them up to be honest.

Markram, SRH captain: Feels good winning away from home. Was always going to be a tight game. With their firepower we knew the total wasn't safe. Our bowlers showed character. I was fortunate that we got off to a great start. Makes life easier. We bat quite deep so you get the freedom. We all know Harry - his ability we have seen. Giving a player like that the time to face a lot of balls. He's Mr. Reliable for sure (Bhuvi). Certainly helps the dressing room. It's a great bunch of guys. It's cricket at the end of the day, always going to teach you a lesson.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar: We just wanted to get wickets up front, but the way they scored in the 6th over, they were equal to us (powerplay score). I am not a big fan of too many slower balls or variations. You just got to bowl in the right areas. Try to bowl according to the batter and the dimensions. Just wanted to back him (Umran for the final over) and he started the over with two good balls. (Pitch) Bad for bowlers for sure (chuckles). No, really good wicket for the batters. They can come hard and if you put the ball in the right areas you can get wickets as well. Top class innings (from Harry Brook), we needed that type of an innings from him. Having him among the runs is a big plus for us. He can take any team apart, that is why the management sent him to open the batting.

Nitish Rana, KKR captain: Thanks for the compliments on the run chase. I feel the way we bowled was not according to the plans. No matter what the wicket was like, this wasn’t a 230 wicket. One odd day you’ll get an innings like Rinku had the other day, but not everyday. We batted really well, we wanted to take the game deep and then you never know. Home advantage is one thing, but we know Eden Gardens tracks always play this way, we expected 200 to be a par score here and have been preparing that way, but we need to bowl better. Today, even the main bowlers were going for runs but I can’t be too critical because these are the same bowlers who will win me a game some other time. Very happy with the fight we showed but would have loved it more if we got two points as well.

23:16 Local Time, 17:46 GMT, 23:16 IST: It wasn't to be for Rinku Singh tonight. The sixes still flowed from him, but it was well out of reach in the final over by the time he got on strike. It's a wonder KKR even got so close from where they were at the start of the chase. Bhuvneshwar and Jansen rattled them with the new ball as they slipped to 20/3. But a stunning counter-attack from Rana, which started with taking Umran Malik to the cleaners, and a late assault from Rinku, who else, got the crowd's hopes up. But the death bowling today was a lot better. Bhuvneshwar came back to bowl a terrific 15th and 18th over. Natarajan wasn't on the money the whole time, but he was good enough. And Umran closed it off after the early damage he took. Not to forget Mayank Markande's lovely spell through the middle as he took 2/27 in a game where 433 runs were scored.

Umran Malik to Rinku Singh, 1 run, slower short ball wide of off, Rinku reaches out and flat-bats it to mid-off. Another brilliant knock from him tonight but it comes in a losing effort this time as SRH hold on by 23 runs

Umran Malik to Rinku Singh, SIX, Rinku can't stop hitting sixes in the final over. It's off the top-edge, and goes flying over fine leg. Back of a length outside off, Rinku has a massive heave and Umran's pace takes it over

Umran Malik to Rinku Singh, no run, slower length ball outside off, Rinku pulls it on the bounce to deep square leg

Umran Malik to Rinku Singh, no run, that's a good call from the umpire not to give a wide. The ball may have finished outside leg, but Rinku moved across. Length ball slanted in from round the wicket, Rinku looks to scoop but misses

Umran Malik to Umesh Yadav, 1 run, short of length outside off, Umesh does what he does and takes a single as he taps it to point

Umesh Yadav, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Umran Malik to Thakur, out Caught by Washington Sundar!! That should be the game for SRH! They now need 32 off 5, even RInku Singh can't do much about that. Slower length ball outside off, Thakur looks to slog and gets a thick edge. Comfortably taken at backward point. Thakur c Washington Sundar b Umran Malik 12(7) [4s-2]

Umran Malik to Thakur, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Umran Malik [1.0-0-28-0] is back into the attack

They needed 29 the other day. It's 32 today.

T Natarajan to Rinku Singh, FOUR, dropped! Glenn Phillips has dropped a sitter! Short of length around the waist, Rinku mistimes the pull in the air, should've been swallowed at deep midwicket. But Phillips, one of the best on the outfield, makes a mess of it. RInku gets to his fifty

AB: Excellent match-winning spell from Bhuvi! He has redeemed his death bowling ability

T Natarajan to Rinku Singh, FOUR, oh that's not a bad ball. Goes for a yorker on middle, gets it very full to stop Rinku from getting under it. But Rinku powerfully swipes it through midwicket for four

T Natarajan to Rinku Singh, no run, good short ball from Natarajan that takes Rinku by surprise! He's late on the pull and gets hit on the glove. Shardul runs halfway down for a single but RInku sends him back

T Natarajan to Rinku Singh, 2 runs, close to the blockhole outside off, Rinku drives hard through extra cover, wants two at any cost and Shardul has to take the risk to get him back on strike. He makes it home in time
