Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jason Holder, out Caught by Josh Hazlewood!! A massive top-edge, Hazlewood calls for the catch and he takes it with ease. Moved to his left at short third, so did Jitesh Sharma as he ran back, but it was always the big Aussie's catch. Another short ball that climbed onto the tall right-hander, Holder was in no position on the pull - gets a fat top-edge that went straight up.

A mistimed slog and Patidar is under it at mid-on -was the slower ball outside off and Tewatia was backing himself for the big hit, but he doesn't get it anywhere near the middle of the bat, it did skew slightly on impact and lobs up towards mid-on. Patidar ran back, kept watching the ball and completes a safe catch. Rahul Tewatia c Rajat Patidar b Rasikh Salam Dar 7(5) [4s-1]

Krunal Pandya to Jos Buttler, out Stumped!! Krunal Pandya is a Lion in big games. Look at him roar. He's completely spoiled all plans for GT as Buttler was looking to get them past 160 after getting set. This is the wicket of the game so far. Again great game awareness. Saw Buttler stepping out and he had his eyes locked on the batter all the time. Fired a fast wide yorker that Buttler couldn't connect and Jitesh did the rest. RCB know they will now have 20 runs less in the target. Jos Buttler st Jitesh Sharma b Krunal Pandya 19(23) [4s-1]

Jacob Duffy to Washington Sundar, no run, make that four wickets to balls bowled into the wicket. Short delivery on the leg stump, Washi tries to take on the pull shot, mistimes and taken at fine leg. Oh hang on. They are checking if the catch was clean. Replays clearly suggest Cox didn't have good control over the catch. The ball got stuck between his ring fingers on both hands. But it stayed out enough to touch the grass as he tried to complete the catch. Rajat wants to know why it was ruled not out. There was a bit of doubt real time and the replays vindicated. Washi escapes

Rasikh Salam Dar to Nishant Sindhu, out Caught by Devdutt Padikkal!! This is high and taken in the deep. The moment he tried to show some intent, he's picked out the fielder to perfection. The third wicket to ball bowled into the wicket now. Smart of Rasikh Salam Dar to watch the batter closely and bowl short on seeing Nishant Sindhu advance. The batter wanted to break-free, instead flat-batted it straight to DDP who is tall enough to grab it close to the rope. Nishant Sindhu c Devdutt Padikkal b Rasikh Salam Dar 20(18) [4s-3]

Josh Hazlewood to Nishant Sindhu, FOUR, oh fumble and it's burst right through Bhuvi's hands. He's livid with himself. Short of a length delivery angling away, Nishant dabs late, should have been a dot or just one run at best but it's a four

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Sai Sudharsan, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! This is high, Jitesh calls for it as he runs to his right and tracks it into his hands. Gill wears a dejected look sitting in the dugout. Do they already know their fate? Sai Sudharsan definitely wasn't expecting another bouncer from Bhuvi, especially after being called the first one for the over the previous ball. But Bhuvi backed himself to get the bumper spot on yet again. It was slightly wide of off and the batter had to fetch. Seemed like Sai didn't fully commit to the pull and just hung his bat out last second. Top edge flew towards short fine leg but Jitesh took a fine running catch. The defending champs are off to a roaring start. Sai Sudharsan c Jitesh Sharma b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 12(12) [4s-2]

Josh Hazlewood to Shubman Gill, out Caught by Rajat Patidar!! Oh this is a mishit and it's taken at mid-off. Hoff roars back in style. Short of a length delivery with some extra bounce, Shubman Gill loves to play the short-arm jab pull shot. This one gets big on him a bit (141.8kph) and he ends up slicing it high. Rajat runs to the right from mid-off and tracks this nicely into his hands. Massive blow for GT early in the final. RCB have nipped out the man who rules Ahmedabad. Shubman Gill c Rajat Patidar b Josh Hazlewood 10(8) [4s-2]

Josh Hazlewood to Shubman Gill, FOUR, Shubman Gill is continuing from where he left at this very venue in the league stages. He took Hoff for 24 runs in his first over when these two sides met last time. Now he rocks the pull shot over mid-wicket and puts pressure on the bowler straightaway

Jacob Duffy to Sai Sudharsan, wide, huge sigh of relief for Sai and GT! He went up straightaway for the review. Short delivery down the leg-side, Sai Sudharsan looks to pull, misses. RCB went up and ump Nitin Menon raised the finger in a flash. Sai didn't feel the impact on the bat or the glove so he reviewed and UltraEdge didn't pick up anything. It's a successful review and also a wide as the line was down leg

Jacob Duffy to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, that's a gift down the leg-side and with no leg gully in place, Sai is free to glance this fine and he didn't bother keep it down as well. Fine leg didn't even enter the frame as he was wide
