9.5 high into the night sky and pouched brilliantly by Brevis! Off-pace and into the track just outside off. Bethell has an enormous swipe across the line and miscues it. Brevis tracks it from deep mid wicket, runs his lungs out and then lunges forward to gobble up the chance inches off the turf. Wow, what a catch that is. Two in two for Brevis now, in terms of world-class catches, and CSK needed that moment of magic to break this opening stand! 97/1

11.5 straight to Khaleel at backward point, and the Chinnaswamy is stunned! Slower bumper outside off and this bounces like a tennis ball. Kohli, thus, cannot control his dab and he cannot generate enough power to get it over the fielder either. An easy catch for Khaleel, who throws the ball into the turf to celebrate and Kohli throws his head back in disappointment, as do thousands of fans at the venue. Kohli walks back for 62, but not before he put on an absolute show! 121/2

15.1 goes straight up, and taken comfortably by Jadeja this time! A touch poetic given Pathirana and Jadeja collided earlier in the day, which left Pathirana dazed momentarily. Back to the ball now. This was a slower ball, hung up wide outside off. Padikkal wanted to go inside-out but the lack of pace did for him. Got the elevation without any distance, and Jadeja made no mistake on the deep point fence! 144/3

17.4 straight to Sam Curran, and Pathirana takes down the RCB captain! Slower ball on a length wide outside off. With mid off up, Patidar fancies his chances but he cannot get the connection he wants. Scuffs it rather gently and Curran, stood right on the circle, does not err. CSK bag another, and RCB's captain departs after an uncharacteristically scratchy innings! 157/5

16.5 a smart relay catch on the fence, and that will be that for Jitesh with the bat tonight! Dug into the track outside off and this sticks in the surface again. Jitesh has a swipe across the line but the lack of pace means the ball clunks off the toe-end. Curran runs around to his right at long on, takes the catch initially and then pops it to Brevis just as his momentum is about to take him past the rope! CSK chipping away nicely here! 154/4

16.2 goes a mile up, and Mhatre perishes! The Chinnaswamy finds its voice, and this game is threatening to twist and turn again! Slower ball on a length outside off. Mhatre cannot resist the temptation to have a pop at it and slogs across the line. Miscues it because of the lack of pace and only gets height on it. Krunal calls for it, runs around to his left from deep mid wicket and snares the chance. A standing ovation from those in yellow, at the ground and in front of millions of screens, and this is an innings that this boy will remember for a long, long time! 172/3

4.3 straight to backward point, and Krunal, like he so often does, breaks through for RCB! Darted in full and wide. Rasheed's eyes light up and he throws his hands at it. Slices it uppishly and that brings the fielder in the ring into play. Simple enough catch for Shepherd and Krunal is absolutely pumped. CSK's blistering opening stand is halted at 51, but they have something to build on now! 51/1

5.4 an ugly heave across the line, and Curran bites the dust! Back of a length on middle and leg. Climbs onto Curran and he can exert no control over this attempted swipe. The ball goes straight up off the top edge and Jitesh calls early to complete the easiest of catches. The dream start for Ngidi, and CSK, after blitzing out of the traps, have hit a bit of a snag! 58/2

16.3 rapped in front and the finger goes up! Brevis dismissed first ball and Ngidi is making the Chinnaswamy his stage here! Full toss slanted into leg. Brevis has a hack across the line and misses it completely. Pinned on the pads and the umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger. Brevis wants to have another look. But it looks like he has run out of time. Seems like the ball would have gone down leg. Jadeja is not happy with how things have unfolded, but CSK are four down, and Brevis has to walk back for a gloden duck! More drama at the Chinnaswamy, and Ngidi has two in two, out of nowhere! 172/4

19.3 massive lbw shout, and the finger goes up! No MS Dhoni magic at the Chinnaswamy tonight! Low full toss slanting into leg stump. Dhoni has a massive swipe at it but does not get any bat on it. Gets rapped on the pads and the finger goes up. Dhoni has reviewed this but it could be more in hope than anything else. The impact is in line and Ball Tracking has the ball crashing into leg stump. A monumental moment in this game, and Dayal has outwitted Dhoni two years in a row at the Chinnaswamy! 201/5
