- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 Royals lose their first wicket. Jaiswal was playing for the swing once again and Willey sneaks this one through his defence to rattle the stumps. A length ball in the channel, Jaiswal goes for the drive away, from his body and leaving the gap between bat and pad. The ball just holds its line and castles him 6/19.6 another slower ball. Fuller length around off, Padikkal goes aerial but fails to middle it as the bat rotates in his hand. It goes up high in the air, Kohli pedals back from mid-off and takes it with reverse cups, and falls on his back after taking the catch. The third umpire wants to make sure if Kohli was in control of the ball and the ball didn't touch the ground as he fell down. Replay shows it was a fair catch, nothing wrong there 76/211.4 chipped back, simple caught and bowled! Hasaranga gets his first of the night, looked like a wrong'un or maybe a topspinner, it dipped and then kicked up to hit the splice with Samson attempting to defend on the back foot. Looped straight back to the bowler 86/3Extras8 (lb 3, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL169/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 1.5 ov), 2-76 (Devdutt Padikkal, 9.6 ov), 3-86 (Sanju Samson, 11.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.6 taken at long-on. Fuller on the leg stump, du Plessis moved towards the leg side and tried to hit over non-striker once again. But this time the ball dips at him and he ends up mistiming it. Boult takes a couple of steps to his left and takes a tumbling catch 55/17.6 Saini strikes. A soft dismissal. Was a length ball outside off, Rawat opens the face of the bat to run it down to third man but ends up playing it too fine. Samson tumbles to his left and takes it just above the ground 61/28.4 Has Kohli been run-out here? A length ball on the pads, Willey flicks it towards square leg, think it hit just his pad, but Kohli charges down the other end. Willey takes half a step down before saying no but Sanju Samson swoops to the ball and throw it off-balance to Chahal, who collects and breaks the stumps. The umpires have sent this upstairs and Kohli has been run-out by a frame 62/38.5 through the gate! The last two balls have titled the game hugely in RR's favour. Was tossed up around off. Willey came forward to defend but the ball spun back to go through the gap between bat and pad and castle him 62/412.3 Saini bags a swirler! Boult strikes, RCB five down. Short and Rutherford hacked across the line, the ball flying up and over the keeper... but Saini circled around from short third, and then judged it well as the ball dropped a yard or so in front of him, clinging on at full stretch 87/517.5 bowled 'im! Full and straight, tailing in as Shahbaz went across looking to scoop again. Actually deflected off the glove and then through his legs into the stumps. RR break the stand, but is it too late? 154/6Extras10 (lb 3, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL173/6 (19.1 Overs, RR: 9.02)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (Faf du Plessis, 6.6 ov), 2-61 (Anuj Rawat, 7.6 ov), 3-62 (Virat Kohli, 8.4 ov), 4-62 (David Willey, 8.5 ov), 5-87 (Sherfane Rutherford, 12.3 ov), 6-154 (Shahbaz Ahmed, 17.5 ov)
