Krunal Pandya: "Pretty good effort. The way they started in the powerplay, they put us under pressure by playing some shots. From that to restrict them to 157 is a pretty good effort. When we were bowling pace-on deliveries, it was much easier... Powerplay becomes very crucial. If we bat to our potential, we can chase this down."
5.07pm Just 28 runs off the last four overs, with yorker after yorker caging both Shashank and Jansen during what is usually a batter-dominated time. Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar's shots landed bang on target, as PBKS, who may have dreamed of a total around 170 before the death overs began, are restricted to 157. It was a slow pitch where pace-off was key; either that, or you nail them like how the two RCB quicks did. Will RCB level scores against PBKS this season? Join Ekanth for the chase soon.

Hazlewood to Jansen, SIX, wow, finally Jansen is able to launch a yorker away!! He backed away, and while always knowing that it would be a yorker, he has a full swing of the bat to fire the ball for a big six down the ground

Kumar to Shashank Singh, 2 runs, dropped by Dayal at short third! He went grabbing at it while tumbling to his right, and the ball hardly stuck. Bhuvi bowled this wide of off after seeing Shashank shape for the scoop, but Shashank improvised and went for the reverse scoop instead. Eventually, the ball trickled off Dayal's fingers to give Shashank two

Kumar to Jansen, no run, Jansen looks to scoop, and is beaten. There's a light-hearted appeal for caught behind, but it's turned down. Patidar reviews, though. Replays confirm there is no bat or glove involved, so it stays not out. Jansen had got across the stumps at this length ball just outside off, and missed his attempted scoop
