Phil Salt c Dhruv Jurel b Jofra Archer 0 1 0 0 0

0.1

Jofra Archer to Phil Salt, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That is an absolute rib-snorter from Jofra Archer. He wins the all-English battle and sends Phil Salt packing for a golden duck. Archer steams in and bangs this into the pitch hard, on middle, this one jags back in sharply, shooting off the deck as well. Salt is not expecting that and gets stuck in his crease while trying to keep it out. However, he fails to handle the extra bounce and takes his eyes off the ball. He also fails to drop his wrists in time. It takes the top edge and balloons behind, where the keeper, Dhruv Jurel moves back a bit and takes a dolly.

Virat Kohli b Ravi Bishnoi 32 16 7 0 200

4.5

Ravi Bishnoi to Virat Kohli, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Ravi Bishnoi gets the big fish here. Virat Kohli was in an attacking mood but he too perishes now. Bishnoi bowls a wrong 'un, flights it up on off to lure the batter. Kohli has a hack across the line but loses his shape. The ball turns in sharply to sneak between bat and pad to rattle the stumps behind. Bishnoi raises his arms in triumph. It's a big success for the Royals.

Devdutt Padikkal c Shimron Hetmyer b Jofra Archer 14 7 3 0 200

2.6

Jofra Archer to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! TAKEN! Shimron Hetmyer almost makes a mess of it but ends up taking a blinder. Jofra Archer comes around the wicket and lands this back of a length, around leg. Devdutt Padikkal tries to pick it up and whip it away but the ball hits him high on the bat. It goes miles up in the air towards deep backward square leg. Hetmyer runs a long way forward, but misjudges a bit. He has to put in a dive forward at the end, and he takes a fantastic catch. RCB are 45/2.

Rajat Patidar (C) c Donovan Ferreira b Sandeep Sharma 63 40 4 4 157.5

17.1

Sandeep Sharma to Rajat Patidar, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Rajat Patidar holes out. A timely strike for the Royals. Sandeep Sharma looks at the heavens and thanks the one above. Leg-cutter, full and sliding in at the pads. Patidar clears the front leg and looks to whip it away. He fails to get under the ball properly. Gets the height but not the distance and Donovan Ferreira settles under it to take the catch at deep mid-wicket.

Krunal Pandya c Shimron Hetmyer b Ravi Bishnoi 1 6 0 0 16.67

6.2

Ravi Bishnoi to Krunal Pandya, OUT! CAUGHT! A fine catch by Shimron Hetmyer. Googly from over the wicket by the leggie. Pandya dances down the track and gets to the pitch of the ball. He swings at it to go down the ground and wanted to go a lot straighter than he eventually managed to. The bat turns in his hands and he does not get any sort of elevation on the lofted hit. Hits it flat down to long off, where Hetmyer runs in off the ropes at full tilt and gets low to take the catch before tumbling forward. Wickets off successive overs for Bishnoi and RCB are now 62/4.

Jitesh Sharma (W) lbw b Brijesh Sharma 5 8 0 0 62.5

8.4

Brijesh Sharma to Jitesh Sharma, OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! That kept low, and the finger is raised. Jitesh Sharma has a chat with the skipper at the other end but decides against the review. Angled into the right-hander, on a back of a length. Sharma hangs on the back foot and gets on his toes to work it away on the leg side. The ball skids through and keeps low to beat the bat. It brushes the front pad before hitting the back leg. The change in bowling has worked for the Royals. RCB are now 5 down for 76.

Tim David c Shimron Hetmyer b Brijesh Sharma 13 9 2 0 144.44

10.6

Brijesh Sharma to Tim David, OUT! CAUGHT! Brijesh Sharma gets rid of the dangerous Tim David here. He keeps it outside off, and takes pace off too. This is on the shorter side. Tim David tries to fetch it and heave it over mid-wicket, but ends up dragging it much straighter towards long on off the bottom part of his bat. Once again, it's Shimron Hetmyer who gets into position and takes his third catch. The ball is following him in this game.

Romario Shepherd c Brijesh Sharma b Ravindra Jadeja 22 11 2 1 200

13.6

Ravindra Jadeja to Romario Shepherd, OUT! CAUGHT! Ravindra Jadeja strikes now. He floats it up, full and just around leg, it is there to be hit. Romario Shepherd tries to pick it up and slog it away but the ball just turns away a bit to take the top edge. It goes high in the air towards short fine, where Brijesh Sharma settles under it. He tries to take it near his chest, but the ball pops out. However, he keeps his eyes on it and manages to take it on the second attempt. RCB are 125/7 now.

Yashasvi Jaiswal c Jitesh Sharma b Josh Hazlewood 13 8 0 2 162.5

1.6

Josh Hazlewood to Yashasvi Jaiswal, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Josh Hazlewood has the last laugh. He has his arms aloft and gives a bit of a send-off to Jaiswal with a smile. Cross-seam ball by Josh, on a back of a length and just outside the off stump. Not wide enough for the cut but Jaiswal goes for it. He pays the price as the ball catches the outside edge and the keeper, Jitesh Sharma, gobbles it up.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi c Virat Kohli b Krunal Pandya 78 26 8 7 300

8.1

Krunal Pandya to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, OUT! TAKEN! Krunal Pandya puts an end to the Vaibhav Sooryavanshi power-hitting show. He bowls this quicker and fuller, just outside off, keeping it away from the batter. Vaibhav goes after it but has to drag it, and in the process gets it off the inside half off the bat. The ball flies flat towards long on, where Virat Kohli moves forward a bit and takes a fine catch, keeping his fingers under the ball just above the ground. Vaibhav throws his head back in disappointment. The young boy is disappointed with himself. He wanted to bat more, he wanted to entertain more, he wanted to be there till the end. Somehow, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi drags himself out of the ground and raises his bat to acknowledge the crowd. A knock for the ages, he has just played. Take a bow. If this is the beginning, the cricketing world might just be witnessing the rise of its next superstar.

8.2

Krunal Pandya to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! CAUGHT! Two in two for Krunal Pandya, and he is on a hat-trick now. He brings out the bouncer, just outside off, angling away. Shimron Hetmyer stays back and just tries to upper cut it, but gets no power on the shot. Ends up giving catching practice to Josh Hazlewood at short third, who makes no mistake. 129/1 becomes 129/3 for RR.

Riyan Parag (C) c Krunal Pandya b Josh Hazlewood 3 5 0 0 60

9.4

Josh Hazlewood to Riyan Parag, OUT! TAKEN! Josh Hazlewood strikes and RCB are fighting their way back into this game now. Josh lands this on a good length and on middle. Riyan Parag, without moving his foot, tries to whip it away just using his wrists. He fails to get the timing right on this one and mistimes the shot wide of long on, where Krunal Pandya moves to his right and takes a good catch tumbling on the ground. RR are 134/4, chasing 202 runs.
