END OF OVER:
5 | 8 Runs 2 Wkts | RCB: 62/7 | RR: 12.40

  • Navdeep Saini0 (1b)
  • Umesh Yadav0 (0b)
  • Oshane Thomas1-0-6-2
  • Jaydev Unadkat1-0-9-1

11.56pm Saini runs off the field, presumably to bowl. Just a 10-minute break between the two innings. But what do we say about RCB's batting? They wouldn't mind losing wickets in a five-over game, but the seven wickets also mean seven additional dot balls. That could be the difference in this game.

As for Shreyas Gopal, can he do anything wrong against RCB? Playing at his home ground - Gopal is from Karnataka - his hat-trick absolutely blew RCB's top-order apart and has ensured Royals aren't chasing a score closer to 80. We'll be back in a couple of minutes for the chase. Hemant will be here to take you through this exciting chase.

Jeet: "The break seems to be longer than the game itself!!"

Syed: "27 for 7.. that's the story in short for RCB.. Showing why they are not qualify..."

Giggity: "RCB lost momentum each over. 23, 12, 10, 9 and 8. Should have had some target in mind and aimed for that instead of blindly slogging and giving catching practice."

1b
Thomas to Saini, 1 bye, back of a length, wide outside off, and Saini can't connect with the cut. They scamper across for byes as Samson misses the direct hit

Last ball coming up.

Thomas to Negi, OUT, sharp catch by the keeper! A 145.1kph fireball on off, and Negi swivels to slog over midwicket. The ball, however, takes some extra bounce and collects a feather-edge off the bat

P Negi c †Samson b Thomas 4 (6m 3b 1x4 0x6) SR: 133.33

Two balls to go. Can RCB breach 70?

4.4

Thomas to Negi, FOUR, top-edged over the keeper! Short on middle, and he goes for a wild pull. Catches the bat's edge and RCB collect four more runs
4.3
W
Thomas to Klaasen, OUT, leading edge to deep cover! Full, on middle, and Klaasen looks to deposit this over midwicket. But the ball held it's line, and therefore took the bat's splice. In the air for a long time before Livingstone dives forward to complete the catch

H Klaasen c Livingstone b Thomas 6 (16m 7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 85.71

4.2
1b
Thomas to Negi, 1 bye, length ball, outside off, and angling further away. Negi tries to cut, but misses, and they scamper across for bye-runs. Negi is surprised that the umpire didn't call it a wide. Brave from Negi to run though
4.1
1
Thomas to Klaasen, 1 run, full on middle, and he clears his front leg to smash a shot past the non-striker. Long on intercepts
