    9.5 played on! Krunal changes his trajectory, going low in his delivery stride and more side arm, pitching wide outside off ... Marsh tries to force it through the off side and gets a bottom edge on to his stumps 71/3

    3.6 that is quite a bizarre dismissal! It's a full toss outside leg stump, at 136 kph, so not particularly slow. Markram tried to turn it on the leg side and played way too early. The ball may have shaped away just a touch. He got a leading edge that spooned tamely towards cover, he cannot quite believe what's happened as he walks back 32/1

    16.5 caught superbly by Salt running in and to his left from the deep square leg boundary! Pant got low and whipped a low full toss off his pads, that chance would have fallen short of most fielders, but not Phil Salt. He sprinted in from the boundary edge and dived forward to take a superb low catch 124/6

    6.1 bowled him! LSG are sinking fast in Bengaluru. Hazlewood bowls a similar ball to all those deliveries that hassled Pant, short of a length, pitching in line with the stumps and angling across the left-hander. Pooran tried to pull but didn't have enough room, bottom edge on to his stumps. His miserable season continues 35/2

    15.5 caught behind! Short of a length and very slow outside off, Badoni sees it coming and waits, and tries to upper cut it over the keeper, he can't get enough power behind the shot and Jitesh takes a sharp catch over his head 118/5
    Abdul Samad

    11.2 another soft, soft dismissal and the slowness of the pitch on show again. Krunal drifts the ball into the right-hander, pitching around leg and drifting down, Samad tries to turn the ball towards square leg but closes the face of the bat way too early, the leading edge loops up for a catch at cover 83/4

    19.2 what a reply from Rasikh, nearly in the blockhole and bang on target, threading the gap between Mukul's pads as he shapes to flick on the leg side and misses, that swung back into the right-hander and crashed into the stumps 145/9

    18.3 another superb catch, this time by Tim David running back and to his left from deep third! Linde carved a short of a length ball, using the width on offer to free his arms, he hit it extremely high but not far enough to evade David 137/7

    18.4 the stumps have been splayed first ball! Bhuvi delivers the perfect yorker at the base of off and middle stump, Shami is rooted to his crease and swings, off and middle stump are knocked back ... Bhuvi on a hat-trick 137/8

    19.6 done and dusted, ends the innings with a yorker that uproots Avesh's off stump, LSG have been dismissed for 146 ..and slow pitch or not, they seem terribly under-par against RCB's line up. 146/10

    10.1 no fifty for Kohli tonight, he's hit this straight to Pooran at long on. He was on the front foot and launched the length ball on the up, just seem to check his shot a bit at the end and didn't get anywhere near the power or elevation needed to clear the boundary .. he walks off after putting RCB well on course for victory. 86/3

    12.4 is that an edge? It is! Two wickets in three balls for Prince as RCB are trying to rush to victory ... Jitesh clears his front foot and swings across the line at a good length ball over off and middle stump, thin edge through to Mukul behind the stumps 122/5
