Bumrah to Jitesh Sharma, no run, will a single make a difference? We shall know. Yorker length just outside off from Bumrah, Jitesh looks to hoick leg-side and misses, the ball dips and hits him on the boot but the impact was outside off. A belated decision from the umpire and, as a result, RCB will now end up with 221 on the board...

Bumrah to Jitesh Sharma, SIX, and he connects this time around. Full and just outside off, Jitesh sits deep inside the crease and thwacks it for an 83-metre maximum over wide long-on

Boult to Rajat Patidar, out Caught by Rickelton!! Is that the catch of the season so far? Has to be one the best. Patidar shuffles across a long way, picks the full delivery from outside the wide tramline and gets a thick top-edge on the attempted scoop. He was denied for room and ended up getting more height than distance. Rickelton put his head down and ran back quite hurriedly before pulling off a full length dive to take the catch. Remember, he was running in the exact opposite direction and did superbly well to keep his composure. Rajat Patidar c Rickelton b Boult 64(32) [4s-5 6s-4]

Boult to Jitesh Sharma, SIX, had he missed that, the stumps would have been in a mess. Walks a long way across, fetches the ball from middle and off and plays the ultimate scoop to send it over fine leg for a 69-metre maximum

Boult to Jitesh Sharma, SIX, wow! That was a shot and a half from Jitesh Sharma. 138ks full and slanting away outside off, Sharma sinks to one knee and plays a hockey-sweep over square leg. So clean was the connection that the ball flew over deep square in a hurry
17.2
Bumrah to Jitesh Sharma, 1 run, 50 partnership off just 17 balls. Slower full delivery outside off, Jitesh swings hard and loses shape in the process, the ball catches the toe end and dribbles away to square leg

Hardik Pandya to Rajat Patidar, SIX, that was brutal. Just dismissed it off his presence. Short and in the slot outside off, he shuffles a tad and pulls square on the leg-side for a 75-metre maximum

Hardik Pandya to Rajat Patidar, SIX, fifty for the RCB skipper. He gets a juicy full delivery at 127ks, Patidar clears his front leg and smokes it back over the bowler's head to claim a 25-ball 50. He raises his bat and soaks in all the applause from the crowd....

Hardik Pandya to Rajat Patidar, FOUR, exactly the kind of shot Kohli wanted to play on the first ball, just that he got the timing and placement wrong. 130ks length outside off, Patidar moves across and paddle-swipes it over vacant square leg, places it to the right of the fielder in the deep...

Hardik Pandya to Livingstone, out Caught by Bumrah!! A two-ball duck for Liam Livingstone. Looks to play the scoop again and was caught in a tangle. He shuffled miles outside off stump and took the eyes off the ball at the last moment. It was short from Hardik and hurried Livingstone for pace. Result? A healthy leading edge and offers catching practice to Bumrah at short third. Livingstone c Bumrah b Hardik Pandya 0(2)

Hardik Pandya to Kohli, out Caught by Naman Dhir!! It was evident after the time-out that both batters wanted to go big. No signs of one playing anchor. Kohli tried to force the issue in the previous over as well and mistimes a couple. And here he shuffles a long way outside off trying to smack Hardik Pandya square on the leg-side. Does not get the desired timing and skews a top-edge to the fielder at deep square. Kohli c Naman Dhir b Hardik Pandya 67(42) [4s-8 6s-2]

Santner to Kohli, FOUR, 96.7kph, Kohli moves leg-side, allows this length ball to do its bit and hammers it over extra cover. Should have been a single but the long-off fielder - Dhir - over-runs to his left and makes a mess of it

He's a bit early into his shot and the bottom hand comes off the bat handle. Goes a mile up in the air and Jacks stays calm in front of the rope at long-on to reverse-cup it. Much-needed breakthrough for MI! Padikkal c Will Jacks b Vignesh Puthur 37(22) [4s-2 6s-3]

Chahar to Padikkal, FOUR, not where he wanted to go but gets the desired result. Length ball outside off, Padikkal swings his bat hard and gets a fat outside edge that flies over vacant second slip. Third man can't cut it off

6
Chahar to Padikkal, SIX, back-to-back sixes for Padikkal! Slower ball bouncer from Chahar, the left-handed batter spots it and dispatches it over deep midwicket for a 79m six over deep midwicket. Good lift on that delivery but Padikkal put it away with disdain

2.3
6
Boult to Padikkal, SIX, takes on the short ball and clears the man in the deep. Short from Boult and Padikkal swivels to pull it over backward square leg with his front leg off the ground. Enough wood on it to clear Bumrah

Boult to Phil Salt, out Bowled!! Timber! Trent Boult gets his revenge immediately and MI are cock-a-hoop. 139kph, full again from Boult, but the line is on the stumps and he gets the new ball to swing in as well. Salt stays leg-side to flick across the line and misses it altogether. Beaten on the inside edge and the ball crashes into middle and leg. Boult taking a wicket in the first over, that's no surprise.
