- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.6 Hits his pads and given! Hazlewood's celebrappeal helps but Jaiswal reviews it. It is a slower length ball from around the wicket, he gets across to swipe across the line but misses and is hit on the knee-roll. He is on his knee, so height perhaps won't be a concern. Three reds and that's that for Jaiswal. Timely strike for RCB with death overs looming 126/36.5 misses it completely and he's gone! Samson will rue his luck because that kept quite low after pitching outside off, he ventured out a few miles for a big swing and missed it, stumped easily behind his back 49/113.2 What a wicket. Out of nowhere. The most undramatic soft dismissal. And Parag is out of here. Short and outside off from around the stumps, he looks to go over cover but hits it to short cover where Kohli crouches and takes it over his head. It was the back of the hand slower ball. Dayal dropped Parag earlier, now dismisses him to break a 55-run stand 105/219.5 Oh what a shot! But STRAIGHT TO deep midwicket. Bhuvneshwar just missed the yorker narrowly, Hetmyer seemed to have gotten under it. He flicked it away using all his wristpower but straight to Padikkal, who takes it despite the sun being in his eyes 169/4Extras5 (lb 3, w 2)TOTAL173/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.65)Fall of wickets: 1-49 (Sanju Samson, 6.5 ov), 2-105 (Riyan Parag, 13.2 ov), 3-126 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 15.6 ov), 4-169 (Shimron Hetmyer, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.4 finally someone holds on to a catch and it's Jaiswal who had dropped Salt earlier! Not really a wicket-taking delivery, it's short again, Salt pulls again but this time finds deep midwicket as it had more height than distance 92/1Extras8 (nb 1, w 7)TOTAL175/1 (17.3 Overs, RR: 10)Fall of wickets: 1-92 (Phil Salt, 8.4 ov)
