Mukesh Kumar to Tim David, FOUR, a very good knock from Tim David to finish things off! A fuller length ball well outside off, Tim David uses his reach and lofts it over extra cover to find the fence. RCB finish with 163/7

Mukesh Kumar to Tim David, SIX, this time he connects! A shortish delivery on off that sits up nicely for Tim David. He stands tall and pulls it with authority over deep square leg for a maximum. The fielder leaped near the fence but could only watch it sailing over his head

Mukesh Kumar to Tim David, SIX, hammered! 150 up for RCB! A full-toss well outside off, Tim David brings his long levers into play and hits it over wide long-off for a maximum. He sliced it a but but got enough on it

Mukesh Kumar to Tim David, wide, the umpire has signalled a wide but Rahul was confident there was a nick. Axar takes the review. There certainly seemed to be a deflection. Was a short delivery that angled down leg, Tim David tried to hook it across and it passed close to his gloved before going into the gloves of Rahul. UltraEdge though indicates that there's a clear gap between the gloves and the ball. The wide call stands

Axar to Tim David, SIX, in the arc, out of the park! A floated delivery on off, Tim David clears his front leg and slices it over wide long-off for a maximum. Didn't get it off the middle but the bat swing was a good one and he got good power behind it

Axar to Tim David, FOUR, Axar once again drops it short and there's room on offer this time, Tim David rocks back and cuts it past the right side of backward point to find the fence

Axar to Tim David, SIX, boom goes Tim David! A bit on the shorter side and coming in with the arm from round the wicket, Tim David lines it up and nails the pull over cow corner for a flat maximum

Vipraj Nigam to Krunal Pandya, out Caught by Ashutosh Sharma!! DC keep picking wickets at regular intervals! On a length outside off, turns away just enough. Krunal Pandya tries to go inside out over covers but went with hard hands. The ball flies off the outer half of the bat. Ashutosh Sharma at backward point moves to his left and doesn't make a mistake. Krunal Pandya c Ashutosh Sharma b Vipraj Nigam 18(18) [4s-1]

Kuldeep Yadav to Rajat Patidar, out Caught by Rahul!! Another one bites the dust! Kuldeep Yadav has his second wicket. Was a tossed up googly on middle and off, turned away a bit, Rajat Patidar went for a wild heave across the line but only managed to miscue it. Rahul called for it and moved to his left a bit before pouching it safely. Rajat Patidar c Rahul b Kuldeep Yadav 25(23) [4s-1 6s-1]

Kuldeep Yadav to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, shot! RCB need much more of these! Krunal Pandya uses his feet, converts it into a slot ball and hammers it over the bowler's head for a rocketing boundary

Kuldeep Yadav to Jitesh Sharma, out Caught by Rahul!! This is a sitter though and Jitesh Sharma has to walk back. Was the top-spinner and he didn't spot it, held onto the pitch and bounced a bit, Jitesh was looking to work it onto the on-side, closed the face of the bat and the edge went straight up, simple catch for KL and the hosts have lost half their side now. Another RCB batter who just didn't look comfortable tonight. Jitesh Sharma c Rahul b Kuldeep Yadav 3(11)

Kuldeep Yadav to Jitesh Sharma, no run, shout for LBW, but don't think it was spinning back enough - Kuldeep has a chat with Axar and they review. Jitesh went a long way across on the slog-sweep and missed, no bat and UltraEdge confirms the same. Onto ball-tracking: It's umpire's call on hitting, clipping the off-stump and Jitesh Sharma survives. Was the attempted wrong 'un and it slid straight on

Mohit Sharma to Rajat Patidar, FOUR, a thick slice, but Patidar gets enough to clear backward point and the ball runs away to the ropes - width on offer and Patidar went hard on the drive, brings up RCB's 100 with the boundary

Mohit Sharma to Livingstone, out Caught by Ashutosh Sharma!! An ugly swipe and it's another failure for Livingstone. Was a back of a length delivery outside off and Livingstone was looking to send this one to Cubbon Park, he went very hard, lost his shape in the process and then skewed a top-edge that lobbed up towards backward point, Ashutosh came running in and completed a simple catch. Livingstone c Ashutosh Sharma b Mohit Sharma 4(6)

Axar to Rajat Patidar, SIX, clubbed, that's what Patidar can do, Axar was trying to push this one quicker, but he ended up dropping it short - Patidar is quick to pick the length, swivels across and then thumps the pull into the crowd at mid-wicket

Axar to Rajat Patidar, 2 runs, Faf nearly completes a blinder, but the ball was always dropping well in front of him - a big effort, but he did look a bit dazed after falling on his head, was another mishit as Patidar went hard on the drive, sliced it high and over cover - Faf ran back, threw himself at the ball, only to watch it fall in front of his outstretched shoulder

Vipraj Nigam to Kohli, out Caught by Mitchell Starc!! A cracking catch and Chinnaswamy goes silent. It's the leg-spinner who gets rid of the Indian maestro - was a loopy leg-break and made Kohli reach out on the drive, but it dips and turns across the right-hander, brings the mishit into play, it's still dropping down in no man's land, but Starc sprints to his left from long-off, slides and completes a fine two-handed catch. Kohli c Mitchell Starc b Vipraj Nigam 22(14) [4s-1 6s-2]

Vipraj Nigam to Kohli, SIX, lovely, Vipraj has been too full in this over and Kohli has hold a hold on this one, leans forward, gets right to the pitch of the ball and then hoists it high over long-on for a maximum

Mukesh Kumar to Padikkal, out Caught by Axar!! .. and That's the end of his struggle, never really got going tonight. Was another slower off-cutter and the ball never came onto the left-hander, no pace for the lofted drive, he's undone by the lack of pace, the bottom-hand came off and he ended up spooning a simple catch to mid-on. Axar moving swiftly to his left and pouching a good catch. DC back into the mix after that Salt cameo. Padikkal c Axar b Mukesh Kumar 1(8)

Axar to Phil Salt, out Phil Salt Run Out!! Oh dear! That's such a sad ending to Phil Salt's innings, punched one to the left of cover and he set-off for a quick single, was sent back by Kohli, but he slipped as he turned back, lost all the momentum and then had no chance of beating the throw from Vipraj. Was there a single there? Not too sure, but RCB lose Salt after a blistering start. Phil Salt run out (Vipraj Nigam/Rahul) 37(17) [4s-4 6s-3]

Axar to Kohli, SIX, beautifully played, if Phil Salt is all power, Kohli is sheer class, flighted delivery on middle, he backs away, opens up the off-side and then powers a superb back-foot drive over cover, went sailing over the ropes for a maximum

Mitchell Starc to Kohli, leg byes, FOUR, 30 off the over, short and at Kohli's body, he was shaping to flick and missed, brushed his trousers and lobbed wide of KL - Mukesh with the chase at short fine, but he was always coming second best. RCB's fifty up in 3 overs

Mitchell Starc to Phil Salt, SIX, top-edge and six, Phil Salt is on fire and Chinnaswamy is lapping it up, back of a length and just outside off, Salt swung across the line, gets a fat top-edge that went sailing over the keeper's head, and over the ropes

Mitchell Starc to Phil Salt, no ball, FOUR, uppish and four, doesn't matter as it was a front-foot no-ball as well, pitched up and Salt swung through the line, sliced it uppishly and to the left of the diving fielder at mid-off - Stubbs got a hand on it, but it doesn't held him any way

Mitchell Starc to Phil Salt, FOUR, make that three boundaries in a row, Starc goes full, but Salt can still get under it on the flicked drive, was in the air, but he's placed it into the gap wide of mid-on

Mitchell Starc to Phil Salt, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries and Salt is on a roll now, fuller length delivery and wide of off, Salt throws his hands on the drive and then carves it over backward point, one bounce and over the ropes

Mitchell Starc to Phil Salt, SIX, clobbered, he's starting to motor around now, not a bad ball from Starc, tad too full and Salt brings his wrists into play on the shovelled drive, picked the length early and then hammered it over mid-on for a maximum

Axar to Phil Salt, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Salt, tad too short and just outside off, Salt stays leg-sided and then slaps the drive, wide of cover and beats the sliding Stubbs at the long-off boundary

Axar to Phil Salt, SIX, clubbed, a rank long hop from Axar, dragged it short and at the stumps, Salt picks the length early, swivels across anmd then thumps the pull over mid-wicket for a maximum

Axar to Kohli, FOUR, streaky and four, dropped short and at the stumps, Kohli backs away and was looking to go over cover-point, ended up slicing it over short third man
