  Drinks break at Kalyani!

  Abhimanyu Easwaran and Sudip Gharami are moving the scoreboard along nicely after the opening wicket. 50 runs have come up and Easwaran would hope to get a big score here.

  Bengal scoring at a rapid pace!

  Nothing alarming!

  Thankfully, Abhimanyu Easwaran is back and up, raring to go and face the next delivery.

The experienced right-hander plays the next delivery through the covers, and a fumble allows the two batters to run two.

  Easwaran off the mark!

  Abhimanyu Easwaran has gotten off the mark against Delhi. He is timing the ball really well; however, the deliveries are going straight to the fielders. But what has happened here? The right-hander looks to evade the bouncer but the ball hits him straight on the helmet and the team physio comes out for the mandatory concussion test.
