If you're in the USA, you can watch today's game on ESPN+ in English, as well as in Hindi.

7.50pm At 91 for 1 in 10 overs, the Royals looked set to sail past 180. And then things went completely downhill from there on, with the wicket of Ewin Lewis being the momentum changer. Batter after batter came in, tried to swing their way to some runs, and perished. Shahbaz Ahmed and Harshal Patel have had a wonderful evening, but let's also not forget Yuzvendra Chahal's spell for a second game running. Left out of the T20 World Cup squad, he's come into the UAE leg determined and far different to the Chahal from five months ago in India. All of this means RCB will need to chase 150 for their seventh win. Join us shortly.

Patel to Sakariya, OUT, he's dragged this length ball from outside off to AB at long-on. As a fielder, you can't ask for an easier catch. Harshal extends his gap at the top of the wicket-taker's charts. No. 26 for him,.

Patel to Sakariya, 2 runs, swung away into the leg side, off a thick inside edge towards deep midwicket, but the throw is a good one and Sakariya seems to be in trouble despite the dive. Just about makes it in the end.

Patel to Kartik Tyagi, 1 run, goes full and straight, into the blockhole, worked wide of midwicket. Ah, full marks for the thought process!

Patel to Morris, OUT, and make that No. 25! Padikkal has taken a superb catch at deep cover. He ran in a tad early, then realised he had to rush back a hint, did so because the ball was absolutely rocketed by Morris, superbly taken in the end on the move.

Patel to Parag, OUT, wicket No. 24 for Harshal! Riyan's pained existence at the crease is over. Stood deep inside the crease to manufacture the length and go over long-off, but ended up slicing this slower ball to Kohli at extra cover. More pressure on the young man.
