- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 Chahal gets the big fish! Kohli brings out the slog sweep but it's gone straight to Donovan Ferreira at deep midwicket, who hold on above head height. Chahal tossed up a leg break around off. It was spinning away from Kohli, who was hitting against the spin and just couldn't get enough elevation 56/24.4 OH what a screamer! Rovman Powell, you beauty! Length ball and du Plessis swats it away hard and fast. Powell runs in from deep midwicket and dives forward to hold on and give Rajasthan Royals their first breakthrough. Surely a contender for catch of the season. Boult gets the wicket, but it's not his swing that does it, it's Powell's brilliance in the field! 37/112.3 Powell makes no mistake. Takes a good catch backtracking and that ends Cameron Green's knock. Carrom ball from Ashwin, Green gets it off the toe end and skies it. Powell backtracks from cover and holds it high above his head. Ashwin finally has his wicket 97/314.2 Oh no, Patidar picks out mid-off! Parag takes a good catch tracking back. Avesh goes short outside off and Patidar was jumping and trying to slap it down the ground. Came off high on the bat and didn't have enough to clear the fielder 122/512.4 Maxwell's horror season just got worse! No mistake from Jurel this time. Maxwell looks to go down the ground and he picks out long-on. RCB are suddenly in deep trouble. This is an offbreak on a length outside off. Maxwell swings across the line and ends up getting a lot of elevation, but not nearly enough distance. And suddenly, Ashwin is on a hat-trick! 97/418.5 Goes inside out, straight to Powell at deep cover!. Full and wide again from Avesh, Lomror again looks to go on the off side. Doesn't hit it well at all and that's easy stuff for Powell 159/718.2 Dug in short and Karthik gets a top edge as he looks to swat it away. Jaiswal makes no mistake running back from cover. No heroics from DK today! 154/619.6 Catch No. 4 for Rovman Powell and Rajasthan Royals need 173 to win! Low full toss outside off, he goes inside out but hits it straight to the safest pair of hands today! 172/8Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL172/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Faf du Plessis, 4.4 ov), 2-56 (Virat Kohli, 7.2 ov), 3-97 (Cameron Green, 12.3 ov), 4-97 (Glenn Maxwell, 12.4 ov), 5-122 (Rajat Patidar, 14.2 ov), 6-154 (Dinesh Karthik, 18.2 ov), 7-159 (Mahipal Lomror, 18.5 ov), 8-172 (Karn Sharma, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.2 Green is confident, DK is confident but Jaiswal and the umpire are unmoved. DK signals the T and RCB review. Jaiswal looked to get across and scoop it over the keeper but did not make contact with the ball. But did the ball brush his glove? DK thinks so, Snicko confirms! Huge cheers ring across at the Motera and Jaiswal walks back. Green dropped him early, Green gets him now 81/25.3 Boooom! What a ball! The perfect yorker, at 125kph. It is the slower one again from Ferguson. The release was like a legcutter but it wasn't really one. It dipped as it reached Kohler-Cadmore, who looked to dig it out but was completely foxed. Ferguson leaps high and RCB celebrate 46/110 Stumped by a distance! Rush of blood from Samson. Karn anticipated the charge and threw it wide outside off. Samson dances down away from the line of the ball, in a bid to go inside out. Karthik collects it and whips the bails off in a flash 86/317.2 Timberrr! Siraj breathes fire with a 139.6kph full one. Parag goes for the big shot but it sneaks through bat and pad. Siraj does his celebration, a forlorn Parag walks back without finishing the match 157/513.1 Has Kohli conjured magic? A run-out appeal against Jurel referred upstairs. Short ball around off, pulled in front of square on the on side. Kohli gets quickly to his left and turns around and fires a throw to Green, the bowler, who disturbs the stumps while the batters were completing the second run. But Green does not seem to be in control/holding the ball. It is also touch-and-go for Jurel. His bat is jussssst outside when the stumps light up - he had hesitated a touch when going back for the second. But the main point in contention is if Green is in control of the ball while breaking the stumps. Third umpire Anil Chaudhary thinks so and Jurel is out of Motera!. His bat was only millimetres out of the crease when the stumps were disturbed. 112/417.6 Faf-tabulous catch! Motera roars! The RCB captain does it again. How? How does he do it repeatedly. Runs back from cover inside the circle, has his eyes on the ball ALL the time, settles under it and takes it with a tumble. Siraj had bowled it full, Hetmyer looked to flick it away but got a leading edge high in the air. RCB believe once more 160/6Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL174/6 (19 Overs, RR: 9.15)Fall of wickets: 1-46 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 5.3 ov), 2-81 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 9.2 ov), 3-86 (Sanju Samson, 10 ov), 4-112 (Dhruv Jurel, 13.1 ov), 5-157 (Riyan Parag, 17.2 ov), 6-160 (Shimron Hetmyer, 17.6 ov)
