Sandeep Sharma to Rajat Patidar, FOUR, that's a sloppy effort by Bishnoi at deep point. This was full and wide outside off, Rajat Patidar drilled it through the off-side and Bishnoi in the deep misfields, gifting away a boundary. Should have stopped it, even he knows that. Quite evident on his face

Nandre Burger to Rajat Patidar, SIX, that's a lovely shot! Banged in short from round the wicket, Rajat Patidar gets into a good position and pulls it over deep backward square leg for half-a-dozen. That's the second maximum of the over for the skipper

Ravindra Jadeja to Romario Shepherd, out Caught by Brijesh Sharma!! Brijesh Sharma almost made a mess of it. This was a straighter delivery on leg, Romario Shepherd goes for a sweep and gets a top edge. Brijesh at short fine leg tries to grab it, but the ball pops out of his hands. However, he recovers well enough to take the catch on the second attempt. Jadeja had his heart in his mouth for a moment.

RCB lose half their side as the players go into a strategic time-out. Jitesh Sharma lbw b Brijesh Sharma 5(8)

Ravindra Jadeja to Rajat Patidar, FOUR, lovely from Patidar. Gives himself some room and goes inside out over cover. Times the fuller length delivery and hits it one bounce over the fence. Made it look so easy

Ravi Bishnoi to Krunal Pandya, out Caught by Shimron Hetmyer!! This is an even better catch than what he took a while ago.

RCB are losing wickets in cluster. Krunal Pandya c Shimron Hetmyer b Ravi Bishnoi 1(6)

Ravi Bishnoi to Virat Kohli, out Bowled!! RCB have lost another one. It's the big wicket of Kohli. He wasn't looking that comfortable today, yet was scoring at a good pace.

Virat Kohli b Ravi Bishnoi 32(16) [4s-7]

Sandeep Sharma to Virat Kohli, FOUR, text book cover drive from Kohli. Leans onto the front foot and creams the drive through covers to a half-volley outside off

Jofra Archer to Devdutt Padikkal, out Caught by Shimron Hetmyer!! It's high and it is taken brilliantly. Was in the air for a long long time, Shimron Hetmyer, runs to his right and has to dive forward to hang onto the catch as it was swirling in the air. Padikkal wasn't in a great position to hit this. The ball bounces tad extra and takes the leading edge of Padikkal, who looked to whip it on the on-side. Second wicket for Jofra Archer. Devdutt Padikkal c Shimron Hetmyer b Jofra Archer 14(7) [4s-3]

Jofra Archer to Virat Kohli, FOUR, edged and flies past diving keeper. Was bowled at 144.3ks on a back of a length. Kohli pokes at it away from his body and the thick edge flies to the right of Jurel's reach. Not sure why Parag removed first slip. Would have gone straight to the slip fielder

Jofra Archer to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR, this is convincing from Padikkal. Short of a length delivery outside off, Padikkal gets under the ball and cuts it over point. Few bounces and over the fence

Jofra Archer to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR, this was more of an edge. Opens the bat face and steers it wide of second slip. Was in the air and runs down to third man fence for four

Jofra Archer to Phil Salt, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! What a start for RR. Jofra Archer is bang on with the length. Hits the deck hard and gets it at an awkward height for Salt, who gets tangled. Takes his eyes off and the ball takes the leading edge an pops straight to Jurel. Philip Salt couldn't avoid it as the line was right at his body. Has to make a long way back to the pavillion. Phil Salt c Dhruv Jurel b Jofra Archer 0(1)
