Glenn Maxwell speaks after his carnage: "I haven't really done it for five months... to do it in front of the home fans was really outstanding. It's a tiring routine I have to go through (his rehab). There was a little bit of variable bounce off a back of a length. Bishnoi and Krunal bowled really well... kept us back."

Tautoru: "Winner of the first innings - @Mayank. What a prediction when no one else saw it!" --- How does one reach out to him if one has a vacancy for prophecy?!

9.19pm An innings of three parts: 56 in the first six overs - which was the powerplay - and that was followed by 48 in the next seven. And if you haven't calculated already, RCB smashed 108 off the final seven overs. Du Plessis was on 33 off 31 balls at one stage; he finished on 79* from 46. Maxwell crashed 59 off 29 deliveries, as balls flew all around the small boundaries at the Chinnaswamy. Big score to chase for LSG eventually, with Abhimanyu to bring the second innings to you.

Wood to Karthik, 1 run, shorter side of a length, heading into middle and leg. Swatted to extra cover

Karthik to face the last ball

Mohan: "Raw Pace!!"

Wood to Maxwell, OUT, the leg stump is uprooted! That was launched at 150kph, though Maxwell's bat swing seemed quicker still. Good length ball on middle and off, and angles in. Maxwell is too early into his heave across the line, and is completely blown by the pace and movement. But what an innings!

GJ Maxwell b Wood 59 (54m 29b 3x4 6x6) SR: 203.44

19.4
6
Wood to Maxwell, SIX, Wood gets one slightly wrong, and Maxwell's eyes lit up! Again Maxwell is across off a bit, as Wood fires a shortish ball angling into middle and off. Maxwell pulled, and sent that flaying over deep backward square
19.4
1w
Wood to Maxwell, 1 wide, gets across early, and Wood fires a yorker length ball outside leg. Maxwell flicks but misses, and called wide

Ankit: "How good was Kohli in handling Wood in his first over!" --- The difference that it was in the powerplay

19.3
0
Wood to Maxwell, no run, again makes room, and now Wood bangs it in short on off. That angles in again with good bounce, as Maxwell misses on his pull. First bouncer called. And FWIW, Rahul has reviewed for a potential caught behind. Replays show the ball actually headed below Maxwell's bat while he was trying to pull and missed. Far from the bat eventually, and that review was nothing but a slowdown
19.2
0
Wood to Maxwell, no run, swats off the splice of the bat to point, as this good length ball shapes into leg, with Maxwell making room. Too much pace for him to handle

Navneet: "Last 2 overs 43 runs!"

19.1
1
Wood to du Plessis, 1 run, very good ball. Executes a yorker bang on middle stump, as du Plessis squeezes it out to long-on off the bottom of the bat

Wood back

Last over. Maybe 220? The umpire asks the batters to hurry up, as they switch their gloves and bat.

1
Avesh Khan to du Plessis, 1 run, low full toss on middle - a low yorker - as du Plessis swipes to long leg
18.5
2
Avesh Khan to du Plessis, 2 runs, yorker length again on the stumps - why doesn't he bowl this more often? - as du Plessis jams to deep midwicket to pinch two
18.4
4
Avesh Khan to du Plessis, FOUR, flashed wide of long-off! A flat-batted swish, and four. He goes low to meet this very full ball just outside off, and even as the bat turns in his hand, he gets what he wanted

Partnership is now 100 off 42

18.3
1
Avesh Khan to Maxwell, 1 run, yorker on off at 134kph, and drilled to long-on
18.2
6
Avesh Khan to Maxwell, SIX, how was that six!? I am scratching my head over this one. Anyway, it's fifty for Maxwell off 24 balls. Shorter side of a length outside off, as he punched-swatted-cut - whatever you say - over deep point
18.1
6
Avesh Khan to Maxwell, SIX, six bang down the ground! I never it got that right with the angle even with a compass in school. Length delivery shaping in, and ending just outside off. Maxwell, deep in the crease, fires it over the bowler's head

AJ: "@Mayank - Live forecast agrees with you now"

Unadkat to du Plessis, FOUR, four to deep third! Unadkat leaks 23. Another low full toss angling across and ending wide-ish of off, as du Plessis slices it over short third while playing it late. The boundaries keep coming

Sparrow: "Maybe Mayank calculated this way - 20 in next 2 overs and 5 sixes in the last... Simple calculation" --- Rinku Max!

17.6
1w
Unadkat to du Plessis, 1 wide, full, dipping, and lands wide of off. Du Plessis tries to reach out and misses. Wide ball
17.5
6
Unadkat to du Plessis, SIX, this lands over fine leg! It was a high-ish full toss on middle, as du Plessis pulled. And expectedly, he has called for a review as he looks for an above-waist full toss so he gets a no-ball, and a free hit. Replays show that was heading downwards, as du Plessis met it below his waist. Six still
17.4
6
Unadkat to du Plessis, SIX, that one lands in the second tier! Over long-on, and six more. Length ball on the stumps from Unadkat, as du Plessis stands with his front leg out of the way to slam that for six
17.3
1
Unadkat to Maxwell, 1 run, dropped by Krunal at deep third! He overran to his right, the ball popped out his hands, and landed close to the rope to his left. Maxwell again sliced that hard and high, with the ball being very full and wide of off
17.2
4
Unadkat to Maxwell, FOUR, off the toe-end of the bat, and four! Fired in very full and quite wide of off, as Maxwell opened the bat face and reached out, only to mistime it. But deep third was quite wide, and it raced away to his left
17.1
1
Unadkat to du Plessis, 1 run, starts with a full toss on leg, which du Plessis swings to deep midwicket

Unadkat back

Mayank: "How is the forecasted score only 198?? I would say 210" --- Wow, that is some calculation. Another 50 in three overs...

Avesh Khan to Maxwell, no run, ah, looks to scoop but is beaten. Gets across off, as the ball is on a good length and around sixth stump. The ball passes his inside edge

New bat for Maxwell. Now a six follows?

16.5
4
Avesh Khan to Maxwell, FOUR, sliced away expertly! Low full toss angling into middle - and is a low full toss - as he makes room and goes inside out over extra cover. Maxwell on the charge
16.4
1
Avesh Khan to du Plessis, 1 run, hoicks this full ball from outside off to deep midwicket off the inside half of his bat
16.3
1
Avesh Khan to Maxwell, 1 run, almost a collision between long-on running to his right, and deep midwicket to his left. Full toss on middle, and lofted down by Maxwell. Too full for his liking
