David Warner batted responsibly after the first dismissal and impressed with his running between the wickets during a passage where boundaries did not seem easy to come by. A steady partnership between David Warner and Manish Pandey threatened to take the game away from Kolkata, but mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy had different plans.
