- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.2 looked to muscle the pull to Cubbon Park but feathers an edge on the short ball to Parthiv. Umpire Anil Chaudhary raised the finger immediately. Hardik hit the deck hard, got this to bounce close to head-height 63/115.3 taken on the second attempt. Flat hit off a back of length delivery to Buttler, who takes it at deep extra cover. Put down ABD, takes Kohli. Relief writ large on his face. Kohli timed it well but may have forgotten there was a fielder there, because he didn't try to clear the ropes. 110/216.2 this is sensational from Rohit at the edge of the ring at cover. Third time in three innings that Krunal has dismissed AB. AB backs away to go over cover but doesn't quite get to the pitch and looks to just chip it this time. Rohit anticipated the stroke and took a couple of steps to his left. Initially looked to go with both hands but realised the ball was swerving away and so he threw himself full stretch to pull off a one-handed stunner 115/317.6 this is stunning from Bumrah. Bowls a yorker on leg which Negi just manages to get bat on, Bumrah is extremely aware on his followthrough as he collects the ball, turns around and fires the stumps down at the bowler's end with Jadhav well short of the crease. He did it so casually that Jadhav was caught completely unaware for a second. By the time he moved, it was too late. 127/418.1 no feet movement. Looks to back away and smack that inside out over cover but played outside the line to get a thick inside edge back onto the middle stump. Golden duck for Mandeep.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Gayle takes another! This is a googly, tossed up full at off stump. Parthiv wants to lift this inside-out over short extra cover, but he hasn't timed this at all. Finds Gayle in the catching position 7/21.5 chipped it straight to midwicket. Gayle's at his best in the field when he has to make absolutely no movement. Buttler is generous to that. This one is floated harmlessly, full at his toes and he clips it straight to the big man 7/12.4 he's got it! Sneaks a googly through Rohit's defence and shatters the stumps. Third time this season that Rohit has fallen to the googly. Good length at off stump, big enough gap between bat and pad on his shaky forward defence, and the ball sneaks through 7/42.3 experiment fails. They've looked to cash in on his bowling confidence and catch RCB on the surprise. But he has hit this low full toss at middle stump straight to long-on and Badree is on a hat-trick on his debut 7/37.6 finishes his spell with a wicket! This is short at off stump, it's a wrong'un that climbs on him slightly and makes it awkward to play the cut. He goes for it anyway and slices it uppishly in front of Arvind who watches it closely into his hands as he dives forward to take it at backward point 33/517.3 this time Chahal follows him down the leg side. It's flatter and dipping rapidly and Pollard is not to the pitch. He looks to slot this over long-off, inside-out, but skies it. De Villiers runs in from long-off, adjusts after watching the ball swerve and takes the few steps backwards he needs to pouch this cleanly. Good catch 126/6Extras13 (lb 6, w 7)TOTAL145/6 (18.5 Overs, RR: 7.69)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Jos Buttler, 1.5 ov), 2-7 (Parthiv Patel, 2.2 ov), 3-7 (Mitchell McClenaghan, 2.3 ov), 4-7 (Rohit Sharma, 2.4 ov), 5-33 (Nitish Rana, 7.6 ov), 6-126 (Kieron Pollard, 17.3 ov)
