- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 taken at mid-off. Or is it? Rawat once again looks to hit down the ground but ends up mistiming this fuller delivery. It goes towards mid-off, where Rahul dives forward and across to catch. They are checking upstairs and the third umpire is happy with it, the fingers were under the ball 7/119.5 Stoinis holds on this time at deep backward square! Results in heartbreak for du Plessis as he ends on his IPL best of 96 once again! Slower bouncer from Holder, Faf tries to smash a front foot pull over the leg side rope but he's out of energy after more than an hour at the crease and it swirls tamely to Stoinis 10 yards inside the rope, who takes a far less eventful chance than the previous one shelled in the over. 181/60.6 two in two for Chameera. Kohli walks back for a first-ball duck. A wry smile on his face. Sadness on the faces of some of the fans in the stands. It was short of length outside off, Kohli played at it away from the body. But he couldn't keep it down and Hooda pouches it at backward point 7/25.2 a superb catch by Holder. A length ball around off. Maxwell goes for the reverse sweep but fails to middle it. It goes to the left of Holder, going away from him. But he stretches and gets both hands to it. In the end, he completes the catch with his left hand, falling on the ground 44/37.2 a soft dismissal. Dances down the track to this length ball and looks to work it on the leg side. But looks like it came slower off the surface. Gets lobbed towards short midwicket where Krunal accepts the dolly 62/415.2 back of a length on fifth stump, slapped into the covers straight to KL Rahul, Shahbaz sets off from the non-striker's end but Faf wasn't interested. Relay from Rahul goes to Holder on one bounce at the bowler's end as Shahbaz tries to scamper back. It goes to the third umpire to determine if his bat was over the line before the bails are dislodged. Looks like his bat is on the line, but not past the line and a fifty partnership is now toast. 132/5Extras9 (lb 2, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL181/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Anuj Rawat, 0.5 ov), 2-7 (Virat Kohli, 0.6 ov), 3-44 (Glenn Maxwell, 5.2 ov), 4-62 (Suyash Prabhudessai, 7.2 ov), 5-132 (Shahbaz Ahmed, 15.2 ov), 6-181 (Faf du Plessis, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 taken at first slip. A length ball angling across de Kock, who pushes at it tentatively and gets an outside edge. Karthik puts in half a dive, leaving it for Maxwell eventually who grabs it with both hands to his right, just above waist height 17/17.6 a slower one down the leg side. Looks to glance but misses. The umpire says it's not a wide. RCB have opted for a review. And the UltraEdge shows a murmur as the ball passes the bat. Rahul is surprised, he even gestures to the dugout if there was something on the UltraEdge. Kohli, meanwhile, lets out a roar 64/34.6 a soft dismissal. Short of length at the body, Pandey goes for the pull but the ball hits him high on the bat. A simple catch for Harshal at forward square leg 33/213.4 he looked uncomfortable the previous few balls and now holes out to deep midwicket. Slightly short on off stump and sticks in the wicket a touch as Krunal struggles keeping his hands back on a pull. He can't get any power behind it and picks out the man on the rope who takes this five yards in at chest height. 108/512.3 superb effort at deep third man by Suyash! Short and wide, Hooda goes to uppercut this over the third man rope but gets under it too much. It swirls toward the man charging in from the rope who judges it well sliding on his knees to soften the catch 15 yards in from the boundary. 100/416.4 Hazlewood sends down a knuckle slower ball full and very wide outside off, Badoni shuffles away across his stumps and tries to heave this ball from well outside the guidelines into the vacant leg side boundary but pays the price and feathers an edge through to DK. 135/618.2 cover your children's ears! Stoinis shuffles way way outside off in the context of the previous ball that was not called a wide and is standing almost on the wide guideline trying to play a full ball into the leg side and inside edge's this onto the stumps. He lets out a massive "F*** you!" that can be heard through the stump mic clear as day all the way back to Australia before walking off. 148/719.5 bouncer on the body, Holder pulls this and a top edge swirls to deep fine leg. Siraj has to battle the lights coming in off the rope but manages to hang on at ankle height stumbling forward 10 yards inside the rope. 163/8Extras15 (lb 4, w 11)TOTAL163/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.15)Did not bat: Avesh KhanFall of wickets: 1-17 (Quinton de Kock, 2.5 ov), 2-33 (Manish Pandey, 4.6 ov), 3-64 (KL Rahul, 7.6 ov), 4-100 (Deepak Hooda, 12.3 ov), 5-108 (Krunal Pandya, 13.4 ov), 6-135 (Ayush Badoni, 16.4 ov), 7-148 (Marcus Stoinis, 18.2 ov), 8-163 (Jason Holder, 19.5 ov)
