Sandeep Sharma to Rajat Patidar, FOUR, that's a sloppy effort by Bishnoi at deep point. This was full and wide outside off, Rajat Patidar drilled it through the off-side and Bishnoi in the deep misfields, gifting away a boundary. Should have stopped it, even he knows that. Quite evident on his face

Ravindra Jadeja to Romario Shepherd, out Caught by Brijesh Sharma!! Brijesh Sharma almost made a mess of it. This was a straighter delivery on leg, Romario Shepherd goes for a sweep and gets a top edge. Brijesh at short fine leg tries to grab it, but the ball pops out of his hands. However, he recovers well enough to take the catch on the second attempt. Jadeja had his heart in his mouth for a moment. RCB in a spot of bother and they have sent Venkatesh Iyer to brave them out of trouble. He is the impact sub for RCB tonight. Romario Shepherd c Brijesh Sharma b Ravindra Jadeja 22(11) [4s-2 6s-1]
