- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.6 grabs it in the follow-through! Legcutter floated full and just outside off. Roy waits on it and absolutely drills it back at Christian, who has barely any time. Sticks his hands out as the ball is headed for his right thigh, and manages to get enough on it to keep it within his grasp. That allows him to take it with a bit of a juggle 107/41.5 taken at mid-on! Again goes to lift that full delivery on middle, but ends up skying it right where Maxwell stood. He looked to clip that, but instead got a leading edge there. Early wicket for Royal Challengers 14/111.3 knocks the top of middle! Another offcutter landed perfectly at a good length, coming in from off stump. Williamson backs away, opens up his stance and extends the arms to try and loft it over extra cover. But that has gripped as he takes a bet on it being regular-paced. It is not, it cuts back in and kisses the inside edge before hitting the top of the stumps 84/214.1 straight to deep midwicket. Short of a length and cramps him at a middle stump line as he takes a step down and then a big one across to set up for the pull shot. It hits him high on the bat and AB runs in a small distance to take it inside 105/315.1 Kohli reviews an lbw. And this looks pretty close. Unless that's a googly. It doesn't look like it is. It's pushed through quick, a legbreak from leg stump that Samad looks to sweep and catches on the back thigh. This will come down to whether it pitched in line. And Samad's in trouble if it did...it did! It's three wickets in seven balls for RCB, and two of them big-hitters 107/517.2 taken at long-off! Outfoxes him with the offcutter again, but this time has him hitting it where he wants. This is closer to off stump, Saha gets more of the middle of the bat on it, but has no timing as he tries to go over extra cover. It lobs harmlessly for AB coming in from long-off 124/619.6 holes out to long-on! It's another three-for for Harshal. Full dipping slower ball outside off, he waits and has a slog, but can only get height on this and not a lot of distance 141/7Extras4 (nb 1, w 3)TOTAL141/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.05)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Abhishek Sharma, 1.5 ov), 2-84 (Kane Williamson, 11.3 ov), 3-105 (Priyam Garg, 14.1 ov), 4-107 (Jason Roy, 14.6 ov), 5-107 (Abdul Samad, 15.1 ov), 6-124 (Wriddhiman Saha, 17.2 ov), 7-141 (Jason Holder, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 raps him on the pads, and up goes the finger! Kohli looks at his partner hoping he would signal for a review, but Padikkal says no. He looks to flick this full ball on middle while playing around his front pad and across the line, but is beaten as he closes the bat face to dispatch the ball. The ball looks to be striking flush on middle too. But replays show the ball would have clipped leg stump on umpire's call 6/116.5 holes out to deep midwicket to end an innings he will like to forget quickly. It didn't come off, not even a little, today for Padikkal. Nice of his team-mates to clap for him as he gets back into the dugout. Rashid was toying with him, first googlies, then short ball, just inviting him to have a hit. Then he cramped him with a skidder at length and Padikkal's big pull wasn't big enough 109/53.2 skies that to mid-off! So promoting Christian doesn't pay off for Royal Challengers. Another slower ball on a full length on off, as Christian plays at that early to try and loft that over the in-field, getting it off the bottom of the bat, with the ball nearly stuck in the pitch. But Williamson sits under the ball comfortably to complete the catch, and Sunrisers strike again in the powerplay 18/26.5 tickled behind to Saha! Good pace from Malik - at 141kph - as he bowls short of a length on leg. The ball is climbing on to the batter, as Bharat looks to pull that behind the wicket, but gets a little portion of his glove, with the ball landing to Saha's left. Malik is over the moon with that strike 38/314.1 they've got Maxwell! Direct hit from Williamson! Poor cricket from RCB. This is a googly, sliding away from off stump. Padikkal with a tentative poke off the back foot, into the covers. Williamson is very close in at extra cover and swoops down on it to his right before letting the throw out. Hits the base of Padikkal's off stump and Maxwell is nowhere near making his ground. No run there at all 92/418.4 taken at midwicket! Slower ball again, dug in short and climbing in the corridor. He jumps into the line of that and has a big hoick at it. Gets it off the sticker of the bat and it's a simple one for Williamson to his left 128/6Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL137/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.85)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Virat Kohli, 0.6 ov), 2-18 (Dan Christian, 3.2 ov), 3-38 (Srikar Bharat, 6.5 ov), 4-92 (Glenn Maxwell, 14.1 ov), 5-109 (Devdutt Padikkal, 16.5 ov), 6-128 (Shahbaz Ahmed, 18.4 ov)
