Josh Hazlewood to Ajinkya Rahane, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Once again, we see a wicket fall after a boundary. Josh Hazlewood bends his back and bowls a well-directed bumper, on middle, takes off sharply off the deck. Ajinkya Rahane looks to pull it away but the ball gets big on him and he loses his bottom hand as well. It takes the top edge and goes high in the air. Hazlewood himself calls for it, moves to his right to settle under it and takes a fine catch. KKR lose both openers now.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Finn Allen, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Superb response from Bhuvi and he has another Powerplay wicket. Scrambled seam, slightly around off and with a little bit of nip away from the batter. Finn Allen is pinned in the crease and tries to punch it away on the off side, but he is squared up and only manages a faint outside edge to the keeper. Jitesh Sharma makes no mistake. KKR are 23/1 in 2.3 overs.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Rinku Singh, OUT! RAGHUVANSHI IS RUN OUT! Superb final over from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Just 10 runs from it and KKR finish at 192/4. Excellent low, dipping full toss by Bhuvneshwar, on the stumps. Rinku cannot get properly under it and drills it off the toe end through mid on. The call is for two and they hustle back for the brace but Devdutt Padikkal is quick to rush in off the ropes. He picks the ball and fires a precise on-the-bounce throw to the bowler. Angkrish Raghuvanshi is forced to dive to slide his bat in, but Bhuvneshwar Kumar collects the ball beside the stumps and whips the bails off in a flash. The on-field umpires want to have a look at it, and the replay confirms that Raghuvanshi is found fairly short.

Rasikh Salam to Cameron Green, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Rasikh Salam gets the crucial breakthrough on his return to the attack. He lands this on a good length and on middle, at 135.5 kph, gets it to nip back in a bit as well. Cameron Green has a big hoick across the line but the length is not that short and the ball goes through to hit the top of middle stump. Nice little cameo from Green comes to an end, and KKR are 116/3 now.

Kartik Tyagi to Jacob Bethell, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! The short ball does the trick for Kartik Tyagi. A strange dismissal. Seam-up ball, dug in short, at the bodyline of the batter. Bethell presses back and swivels a bit for the pull. The ball gets big on him and catches the top edge. On any other day, the ball would have sailed over the keeper's head and gone for a six but the ball pings Jacob on the helmet off the top edge. It balloons back towards the bowler and Tyagi takes a dolly.

Kartik Tyagi to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! TAKEN! The first ball after the strategic break brings a wicket for KKR. Kartik Tyagi bangs this into the pitch, keeps it outside off, takes pace off as well. Devdutt Padikkal makes room to slap it away but hits it more from the bottom half of the bat. It flies straight to catching cover, where Ajinkya Rahane takes a sharp catch over his head. RCB are 129/2, still needing 64 runs in 41 balls.

Sunil Narine to Rajat Patidar, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Rajat Patidar tries to repeat the does, but it does not come off. Multiple cracks at it and Ajinkya Rahane just about manages to hold on. Carrom ball by Narine, on a nagging length, on off and middle. Patidar puts his head down and swings hard at it. The ball turns away a bit and Patidar cuts across the line of the ball. Slices it high in the air towards extra cover, where Rahane settles under it on the edge of the ring. He bends to take the catch but the ball bobbles four times in his hand and he eventually falls on his back. Even then, he does not grab it cleanly and the ball lands on his stomach, after which he manages to cling on.

Kartik Tyagi to Tim David, OUT! TAKEN! An absolute blinder from Manish Pandey. The stunned expression on Tim David's face mirrors that of almost everyone out in the middle. This is served on a good length and skidding through just outside off, David throws his hands at it and cuts it hard behind point. He hits it uppishly and the ball flies quickly towards backward point, where Pandey reacts brilliantly to his non-dominant side. Manish flings himself low to his left full-stretch by sticking out the left hand and the ball just sticks in the palm.
