- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.6 Fast-handed stumping attempt from Dhoni, sent upstairs. Didn't look like Salt lifted his toe in real time. But let's see. Replay shows the front foot was on the line as he missed the on-the-up cover drive off the length ball angling away outside off. The toe didn't lift much but it did hover, the ball was on top of fifth stump, Dhoni didn't have to move his knees, which is when his superpower is unleashed. The time between the ball being caught and swooshed onto the stumps might be 0.10 seconds or fewer, remarkable reflexes and Salt - who probably didn't lift his foot even a centimetre - has to walk back for a good, but brief, 32. 45/112.2 This time the catch is taken! Tossed up full on middle, Kohli looks to heave it leg-side but can't clear Rachin Ravindra at deep midwicket. Kohli is frustrated, and as he should be. 31 off 30 is not a knock he'll be happy about 117/37.5 Gaikwad claims a low catch at cover, Umpire Nitin Menon has his finger on the earpiece... and signals out. Guessing the third umpire was seeing the replays somehow. Anyway, The ball hovered low and travelled quick, both hands cupped the ball in front of Gaikwad's body. Was a full ball to which Padikkal made room and drove with a flourish. Great start but cut short, don't think RCB will mind that too much though. 76/218.1 This time, Patidar has to go! Pathirana goes full on leg at 146kph as Patidar backs away and looks to hit it down the ground. Slices it and the ball goes high on the off side. Curran at cover makes no mistake. A very important innings from the RCB skipper, but it's come to an end 176/615.3 Noor fires back! Knocks him over Tossed full around leg again, Livingstone again goes for the slog sweep. He was early into this shot and loses his leg stump! 145/417.4 Jadeja takes a good diving catch at deep midwicket and that's bye-bye for Jitesh. Khaleel goes short and across him, Jitesh looks to pull, like he did in the last over, but this time picks out the fielder. Jadeja has to dive in front, and he is as safe a pair of hands as you can as for 172/518.4 That's chipped straight to long-on! On a length around middle and leg, Krunal can't time this as he looks to go downtown, ending up reaching in front for it and it's a harmless lofted shot in the end. Hooda this time holds on! Krunal falls for a duck 177/7Extras11 (lb 3, w 8)TOTAL196/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.8)Fall of wickets: 1-45 (Phil Salt, 4.6 ov), 2-76 (Devdutt Padikkal, 7.5 ov), 3-117 (Virat Kohli, 12.2 ov), 4-145 (Liam Livingstone, 15.3 ov), 5-172 (Jitesh Sharma, 17.4 ov), 6-176 (Rajat Patidar, 18.1 ov), 7-177 (Krunal Pandya, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.1 Absolute corker! 135kph yorker around off and Ravindra doesn't have a response! He swings for the fences but only manages an inside edge onto the pads and onto the stumps! The set batter is gone and RCB will feel ecstatic 75/51.2 Hard-length Hazlewood gets Tripathi on the pull. His height and the energy on the ball hurries Tripathi on the pull, he was in the crease and swung across his chest, but the elbows couldn't be stretched and the ball lobbed off the splice, straight to midwicket. 136ks 8/11.6 Catch it is the call... deep fine leg runs to the left, manages to settle under it... and takes it. Just 133ks on the speedometer but, again, it's quicker than it looks. Rises off a length to around rib-height, fourth-stump line, Gaikwad took on the pull from deep in the crease but got a top edge that went high. It stayed high too and Bhandage ran a few metres before taking it around waist height, to his left. Kohli leaps on Hazlewood's back, who smiles in celebration 8/24.4 Caught behind? Staggered appeals from keeper and slip. Not given, Patidar reviews rather early. Replays show Kohli was convinced. Was a length ball on fourth, just over stump height. Hooda was on his toes, the back foot was in the crease and the front just outside, and he tried to run it to third with an angled, open-faced bat despite the slip in place. Hawk-Eye reveals a brush as ball passes bat, a thin edge just under the sticker. The decision will be reversed. Cheers from the crowd after the wicket though, Dhoni-anticipation stuff? 26/38.5 That's a pie but is sliced to long-on. Slow, loopy above-the-eyeline offbreak tossed up around off, Curran had to wait with a still base but might've done it for a touch too long and lost balance - he was falling over to the off side. He tried to muscle it with a low swipe across the line but got it off the bottom of the bat. Krunal runs in takes it, and throws it high. Livingstone is chuffed. 52/412.5 Chopped on! Length ball outside off, 137kph, and Dube looks to cut and can only find the inside edge onto the stumps! CSK slump further! 80/618.4 And Hazlewood has another! Short on leg and angled across him at 137kph, Jadeja hammers a flat pull that goes to Salt's left at deep midwicket. Salt is running across and takes his above his head. Good catch from him, and Hazlewood has a third. He's been supremely good today! 130/815.2 Chipped straight to long-on! Livingstone is all smiles at getting his second wicket. This is dropped short and Ashwin looks to rock back and pull. Doesn't get enough power on it and Phil Salt takes an easy catch. It's an all-English wicket from RCB's point of view and Ashwin walks off 99/7Extras3 (b 1, w 2)TOTAL146/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.3)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Rahul Tripathi, 1.2 ov), 2-8 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 1.6 ov), 3-26 (Deepak Hooda, 4.4 ov), 4-52 (Sam Curran, 8.5 ov), 5-75 (Rachin Ravindra, 12.1 ov), 6-80 (Shivam Dube, 12.5 ov), 7-99 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 15.2 ov), 8-130 (Ravindra Jadeja, 18.4 ov)
