3.5 oh dear - that is a terrible, terrible mix-up and Salt is outta here! Back of a length, slanting into the stumps. Salt punches it towards extra cover and sets off for the single. Kohli responds too initially and then sells Salt down the river. Salt has to turn back and he slips a little too in that process. Dives, sprawls, does everything he can, but the throw is right at the stumps, and Rahul is too quick for Salt. RCB lose their first and Salt, after some fireworks, has been run-out! 61/1

6.6 Nigam takes out Kohli, and the Chinnaswamy sounds like a library now! Fizzed through, with the length also pulled back outside off. Drops on Kohli late and he gets nowhere near the pitch of the ball as he tries to go inside-out. Has to play an ugly-looking slap in the end and cannot control it. Skews it towards long off, where Starc charges around to his left and slides forward to send Kohli on his way. Massive, massive wicket! 74/3

5.4 Padikkal perishes, and the Capitals have something to show for the pressure they have been applying! Back of a length just outside off. Padikkal looks to punch on the up but the lack of pace off the surface leads to his undoing. Might have been a cutter, which explains him losing control of his bottom hand. Tame lob towards mid on, and Axar makes no mistake. Mukesh has a wicket in his first over, and RCB have hit a snag after the early pyrotechnics! 64/2

14.5 goes a mile up, and Rahul will not drop that. Not even in his sleep. A deafening silence engulfs the Chinnaswamy, and Kuldeep strikes again! Tossed up beautifully on a fullish length on middle and leg. Dips and drops on Patidar devilishly and he is not to the pitch of the ball. Aims to go too square as well, and that means the ball only goes straight up off the leading edge. Rahul calls early, and Rahul snares it. RCB in real trouble now! 117/6

9.3 that is a soft, soft dismissal, and Mohit has gotten rid of Livingstone in his first over! Badgers that hard length outside off. Livingstone sits deep in his crease and tries to smash it into Cubbon Park. Loses his shape completely, though, and is also flummoxed by the extra bounce. Loops up off the splice and backward point does the rest! 91/4

12.2 oh dear - Jitesh will not want to watch that again! Googly on a back of a length on middle and leg. Sticks in the surface and Jitesh, shaping to tug it away into the leg side, gets caught in an awful tangle. Hangs his bat out in the end, perhaps because he has nowhere to go, and the ball spoons up. Rahul calls early, and Kuldeep is on the board. Jitesh departs for an 11-ball 3, and RCB are in a bit of bother here! 102/5

17.1 Vipraj Nigam lands another blow, and the Chinnaswamy is stunned again! Googly hung up on a length wide outside off. Krunal looks to go inside-out but perhaps tries to hit it too hard. Loses shape completely and the ball spins away enough to skew off the outside half of the bat. Ashutosh gobbles up the chance at backward point, and that will be that for Krunal with the bat tonight! 125/7

1.6 miscued a mile, and du Plessis will do no further damage to his former team! On a length in and around off. Continues with the angle and du Plessis tugs at it in slightly ungainly fashion. Goes straight up off the leading edge and Patidar does the rest at mid off. DC lose a wicket early in the piece, and RCB and their fans are chuffed to bits! 9/1

2.1 JFM shanks one now, and JFM will have to walk back too! RCB all over the Capitals in the early exchanges! Back of a length just outside off. JFM has a wild hack across the line and gets it completely wrong. The ball touches the moon and comes back, and when it does, Jitesh holds onto it. A bit of a bobble, but RCB will take it any which way they come! 10/2

4.3 Porel does exactly what JFM and du Plessis did, and he too will now walk back to the shed! This is pretty ordinary batting, it must be said. Back of a length on leg stump. Porel tries to play too square and goes across the line too. The ball goes skywards off the toe-end and Jitesh, with his big mitts, makes no mistake. DC are not learning, and they are spiralling! 30/3

8.4 goneski! Suyash Sharma outfoxes Axar Patel, and the Chinnaswamy finds its collective voice again! Slowed up and bowled full outside off, enticing the big stroke. Axar gives in to that temptation and looks to go inside-out. The bat face, though, just closes slightly upon impact and he picks out David at long off to absolute perfection. Not the greatest shot Axar will ever play in his career, and Suyash stares him down to celebrate the wicket! 58/4
