7:20 p.m.: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the second match of the IPL season five between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils at the Eden Gardens. A lot will be at stake on this match as both the teams would like to get off the mark in the marquee tournament with a win. The spectators would be hoping to see a better contest than what was witnessed last night in the opener between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians at Chepauk.
Thursday's game will be a contest between a formidable Kolkata and a thin-looking Delhi. While the hosts are holding all the aces - foreign players - up their sleeve, the visitors may find it hard to go about their business in the absence of some of their key foreign imports - Mahela Jayawardene, Kevin Pietersen and David Warner. The onus will once again be on skipper Virender Sehwag to give Delhi a solid opening. Winning the toss and batting should be the order of the day on a good wicket at the Eden
