- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 big wicket. Du Plessis taken out before he can start accelerating. That deep point instead of a third man has worked. Du Plessis skips down the track, Khaleel shortens the length, de Plessis slashes at it in an upper-cut, and Axar Patel runs to his right to complete the catch 13/21.1 that is plumb. Full, shaping in, at the middle stump, and Rawat falls over trying to whip this square on the leg side. Doesn't show it the full face of the bat 5/16.2 Lalit Yadav has hit the single visible stump. Off we go to the third umpire. What an incredible piece of fielding. He has caught Kohli short with a direct hit while being off balance. Kohli again looks to drop this to point and run. Maxwell knows it is too close to Lalit, and sends him back. Lalit is falling over as he lets the ball go, and catches Kohli short by a frame 40/311.2 and immediately he gets his man caught at long-on. Nice dip on this, Maxwell looks to go downtown with this, but just gets it on the toe of the bat. And he is looking to just play through the line and not hit the pants off this ball. Easy catch for long-on 92/59.3 mis-times the reverse-pull. He switches his stance early, Axar drags the length back, Prabhudessai still manages to get some bat on it, but the fielder at point, Kuldeep, times his jump perfectly to catch him overhead 75/4Extras10 (lb 3, w 7)TOTAL189/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.45)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Anuj Rawat, 1.1 ov), 2-13 (Faf du Plessis, 2.3 ov), 3-40 (Virat Kohli, 6.2 ov), 4-75 (Suyash Prabhudessai, 9.3 ov), 5-92 (Glenn Maxwell, 11.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 the stand is broken and the blazing partnership has been stopped. Shaw got a bit overshadowed by Warner's assault after his initial blows. Siraj goes length outside leg stump having seen Shaw back away, and the batter is cramped. Tries to clobber a slog over the leg side, but mistimes it in the air. Anuj Rawat gets under it in the deep 50/111.3 switch hit! Can't connect! LBW appeal! Not given! But Royal Challengers review. Full on the left-hander's middle stump. Skids into the left-hander's off stump. Three reds according to the TV umpire and the umpire has to change his decision. Kohli gives a big fist pump, the camera pans to Warner's daughter in the stands who looks very sad. The Capitals dugout gives Warner a warm welcome back into the dugout 94/213.6 what a way to get out! Full ball on middle stump, and Pant hits the straightest of straight drives. Hasaranga moves to his right, sticks a hand out to stop the ball, but the ball hits his finger and rolls onto the stumps! Marsh is not in his crease, and the Aussie has to go for a 24-ball 14. No chance for Marsh to sing a redemption song tonight 112/316.3 hand of God moment! Kohli's athleticism at its best. Siraj tried to bowl a cutter. Ended up as a knee high full toss. Pant wanted to hit it over cover, but ends up slicing the shot. Kohli at cover times his jump to perfection, sticks his right hand up over his head, and the ball has stuck! Siraj strikes, Pant goes, and Kohli is off to celebrate! 142/614.1 two wickets in two balls as Hazlewood bowls a fullish ball on a fifth-stump line. Powell wants to feel bat on ball first up, and plays away from his body. Gentle edge and gobbled up by DK. Looks like it was a legcutter, according to the replays 112/414.6 third wicket in less than ten balls as Hazlewood is making deep impact in his return spell. Bowls a short ball, Lalit appears to have connected well with the pull, but there was an outfielder at deep square leg prepared for the ball to come to him. 115/518.1 How's the Josh? It's high for Royal Challengers as JH takes his third. Starts the over the short ball on a stump to stump line. Shardul goes for the pull, and it's been sliced high up. DK calls for the catch and takes it from point 156/7Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL173/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.65)Fall of wickets: 1-50 (Prithvi Shaw, 4.4 ov), 2-94 (David Warner, 11.3 ov), 3-112 (Mitchell Marsh, 13.6 ov), 4-112 (Rovman Powell, 14.1 ov), 5-115 (Lalit Yadav, 14.6 ov), 6-142 (Rishabh Pant, 16.3 ov), 7-156 (Shardul Thakur, 18.1 ov)
