    3.4 Hazlewood ends Porel's march! He's strangled down leg! Short down leg, Porel looks to swivel and pull and only gloves it behind. Jitesh takes it diving to his right and the finger goes up immediately. Porel doesn't bother with a review and Hazlewood takes the lead in the Purple Cap race! 33/1
    9.5 Faf's struggles come to an end! This is tossed up full on leg and du Plessis clears his front leg and looks to hit it down the ground. Comes off the inside half of the bat and goes straight to Virat Kohli, who makes no mistake and pumps his fist as his opening partner for the last three years walks back to the dugout 72/3
    4.4 Skies it and it's taken! Short ball angled across, Nair looks to pull it away but is a bit cramped for room. Top edge goes high in the night sky and Bhuvneshwar Kumar makes no mistake. RCB keep getting powerplay wickets 44/2
    16.2 there comes the big shot straightaway against pace and he's gone! Pitched up, scrambled seam, he swings down the ground but doesn't quite get the distance and Bethell dives forward for an easy catch 118/5
    13.4 takes away middle stump! It's flat on the ground. You just can't keep this man out of the game in any phase. Good length and towards middle stump, Axar swings across the line and does't connect at all 102/4
    19.5 135.1kmh, miscues the drive down completely with the change of pace and he skies it to point. Hazlewood gets his bucket hands under it easily 162/8
    16.5 bamboozled! The impact sub lasts three balls. At 124.3kmh was that slow legcutter, pitching in line with the stumps and Ashutosh thought he could place it behind square but he was done with his shot, shower and shave before the ball reached him and hit leg stump 120/6
    19.2 gone at the non-striker's end! He lofts the full delivery over the bowler and they decide to go for the second. No way there was a second there, so Nigam falls well short, but they get one and Stubbs keep strike 158/7

    2.2 What a catch! Bethell looks to pull away this shorter ball and doesn't get a hold of it. Karun Nair has to run in from deep backward square and dives in front and holds on to it. Bethell knew the moment he hit it that he was in trouble, and his debut is just a cameo in the end 20/1
    17.5 really well-judged catch from Starc at long off! Slow legcutter well outside off, Kohli might think he has enough to send this for six, and it's sailing away, but Starc has his eyes glued to it while he goes to his left, stays just inside the rope and gobbles it nicely 145/4
    2.4 Chopped on! Axar Patel gets both the RCB left-handers at the top order out! It's a bit short outside off and quicker too, at 99.9kph. DDP looks to cut and gets a massive inside edge onto the stumps! The DC skipper is pumped! 20/2
    3.6 Direct hit! The DC players think Patidar is a goner! Kohli clips it to midwicket and looks to take off, but he has sent Patidar scrambling back. And yep, Patidar is well short! Another run-out involving Kohli. Karun Nair with the throw. He took a good catch earlier, and now he's pulled off another stunning bit of fielding! Kohli took a few steps forward and Patidar was charging down when he's sent back 26/3
