- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 four and out! Boult breezes through Salt's defences and the Wankhede has something to cheer about very, very early! Full on middle stump and this curves back in beautifully. Salt looks to tug it away, perhaps aiming too square and only connects with fresh air. The ball sneaks past his blade and then leaves the stumps in an absolute mess. Salt livid with himself; Boult absolutely overjoyed, as are the thousands in blue at the ground. First blood to the Mumbai Indians! 4/114.1 Hardik gets the better of Kohli, and the Wankhede finds its collective voice! Back of a length delivery hung up wide outside off. Kohli, knowing there is space to access behind square on the leg side, walks across. Has a swipe at it but does not control it as well as he would have wanted. Miscues it and Dhir gobbles up the chance at deep mid wicket. A solid pace-setting knock, but now, someone else will have to take RCB past 200! 143/38.6 goes a mile up, and Vignesh has a wicket! A vital, vital breakthrough and it is the youngster coming up with the goods! Flighted up enticingly on a fullish length on middle and leg. Padikkal thinks he can go downtown but the ball drops and dips on him late. He has to reach out in front, which leads to his bottom hand coming off. Cannot generate the requisite power and Jacks holds his nerve on the long on fence to do the rest. Sprightly cameo, and Padikkal will feel he has done his job here! 95/218.6 goes straight up and Rickelton channels his inner Superman to snare that chance! Slanted across full outside off. Patidar shuffles across, trying to scoop it fine and gets a fat top edge. The ball goes a mile up and Rickelton calls for it early. Tracks it all the way and then lunges forward to complete the catch. This could be a big moment in this innings still, given how Patidar was going, but take nothing away from this blistering knock! 213/514.3 goes straight up, and Bumrah takes it! Hardik has two in the over, and he is tilting this game his team's way! Back of a length and in another postcode to the stumps. But that is the plan Hardik is bowling too. Livingstone tries to manufacture a scoop behind square but gets it terribly wrong. Might have flicked the helmet on the way too, and that shank is easily pouched by Bumrah at short third. RCB lose two in quick succession, and MI have a bit of momentum! 144/4Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL221/5 (20 Overs, RR: 11.05)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Phil Salt, 0.2 ov), 2-95 (Devdutt Padikkal, 8.6 ov), 3-143 (Virat Kohli, 14.1 ov), 4-144 (Liam Livingstone, 14.3 ov), 5-213 (Rajat Patidar, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 Dayal with a superb riposte, and leg stump has been flattened! Rohit, after those early fireworks, has to go, and Dayal is off on his celebratory run! Full and swinging into middle and leg. Rohit looks to go down the ground but does not account for it as much. Might have grazed the inside edge but the end result is that leg stump is out of its groove. Massive early wicket, and the Wankhede crowd has been stunned! 21/13.4 massive lbw shout, but the umpire says no! Was there bat involved? RCB deliberate and then they go upstairs! Length ball that may or may not have pitched in line with leg stump. Continues on with the angle and seems to rap Rickelton on the back leg as he misses his swish across the line. There is a gap between bat and ball, and this could be very close now. Pitching in line, impact in line and the ball is going on to hit middle and off stump. Rickelton has to go, and that is an excellent review by RCB! 38/29.4 Krunal bowls the bouncer, and Jacks bites the dust! Proper bumper, bowled like a seamer and finishing on off stump. Jacks is taken by surprise and cannot get a hold of it. Tugs at it and spoons it towards deep backward square leg. Kohli makes no mistake and RCB have something to show for their middle-overs squeeze. That was bowled at 117kph, and MI are losing their way now! 79/311.6 SKY with another miscue, and this time RCB make no mistake whatsoever! Slower ball hung up on a length wide outside off. SKY skips down the track and looks to go inside out. Cuts across it too much and that brings Salt into play at mid off. He back-pedals, keeps his eyes on the ball and pouches it. Dayal is off on his celebratory run again and nearly runs straight to Marine Drive. He is pumped. RCB are pumped too. MI, staring down the barrel! 99/417.4 Tilak falls trying to further up the ante, and RCB have broken this partnership! Slower delivery dug into the track outside off. Tilak tries to crash it over point but the lack of pace does for him. Gets under it too much and Salt, running in from sweeper cover, makes no mistake at all. Tilak walks off for a blazing 56, but he falls just short of getting the job done! 188/518.1 goes straight up and taken at deep mid wicket! Hazlewood rips open the game again, and Mumbai Indians hearts sink! Cometh the hour, cometh Josh Hazlewood! Slanted in very full on leg stump. Hardik looks to use his wrists to club it over wide long on. Gets a little cramped for room and only gets elevation. No distance on it and Livingstone accepts the offering with glee at deep mid wicket! 194/619.5 taken on the fence, and Krunal roars in delight at what used to once be his home ground! Mumbai Indians now on the brink, and RCB on the verge of their third win in four games! Low full toss on leg stump. Dhir has no option but to swing at it. Gets it all wrong, though, and the ball loops up off the top edge towards deep backward square leg. Dayal does the rest, and Krunal is over the moon, as are the rest of his teammates. MI, meanwhile, crestfallen! 209/919.1 straight to long off, and Krunal takes Santner out off the first ball of the 20th! Fired across the batter, full and wide. Santner gets under it but does not get under it enough. Flat as an arrow but David, stood like a tree at long off, clasps that between his giant palms. MI lose another, and they lurch further into trouble. RCB, on the other hand, can sense it. They can almost touch that previously-elusive win at the Wankhede! 203/719.2 oh, what a piece of fielding on the fence, and this is a moment of pure fielding magic right when RCB wanted it! Tests Chahar out with a bouncer first up. Chahar has a massive mow across the line and heaves it towards deep mid wicket. Salt runs around and then takes it over his head, while also being airborne. Soon realizes that he might step onto the ropes and parries it to David, who has followed up and completes the catch. Wow, this is some bowling and fielding under pressure! 203/8Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL209/9 (20 Overs, RR: 10.45)Did not bat: V PuthurFall of wickets: 1-21 (Rohit Sharma, 1.4 ov), 2-38 (Ryan Rickelton, 3.4 ov), 3-79 (Will Jacks, 9.4 ov), 4-99 (Suryakumar Yadav, 11.6 ov), 5-188 (Tilak Varma, 17.4 ov), 6-194 (Hardik Pandya, 18.1 ov), 7-203 (Mitchell Santner, 19.1 ov), 8-203 (Deepak Chahar, 19.2 ov), 9-209 (Naman Dhir, 19.5 ov)
