- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.6 Bishnoi gets Kohli! Googly on a length outside off stump. Kohli comes down the track and tries to go inside out. He does not get to the pitch of it, though, and the ball just sneaks past the flailing blade. Pooran does the rest behind the stumps and Bishnoi breaks RCB's opening stand! 62/116.5 sliced and taken by Krunal at cover! Looped up nicely on a length outside off stump and du Plessis' eyes light up. He tries to go over the bowler's head but the ball spins away just enough to take a chunk off the outside edge. The ball spoons up towards cover where Krunal holds his nerve and completes the catch! 109/511.4 holes out to deep mid wicket! Dragged down outside off stump and Rawat looks to clear the shorter fence. The ball, though, just sticks in the surface enough to muddle with Rawat's timing. He shanks it and Mayers does the rest on the fence! LSG keep chipping away! 75/212.4 huge appeal, and given! Another slowish delivery on a length on middle and off stump. Maxwell decides to go for the reverse but plays all over it. He is pinned on the back leg and the umpire, without any hesitation, raises his finger. Maxwell wants to have another look, though! Big gap between bat and ball. Ball Tracking shows that the ball would have just clipped the top of middle stump. Umpire's Call and Maxwell has to go! Maxwell came after Bishnoi but the leg-spinner was prepared for it! 80/314.3 taken at long off, eventually! Back of a length delivery at the stumps. Prabhudessai shimmies around his crease, looking to create room for himself. He flat-bats it towards long off, where Gowtham misjudges it initially but then dives forward in the nick of time to gobble it up! 90/418.4 what a piece of work that is by Yash Thakur! Leaps into the air in delight! Slower delivery dug into the track outside off stump. Hasaranga cloths it back towards the bowler. Thakur gathers the ball to his left, realises that Karthik has wandered down the track and hits the stumps at the bowler's end, with Karthik well out of his ground! 117/717.5 huge appeal, and given! That looks very adjacent! Length delivery slanted into off stump. The ball skids through and keeps a little low. Lomror is late on the stroke and is pinned on the pads. The umpire raises his finger and Lomror, after a long discussion with Karthik, reviews. Looks like the ball struck the back pad and if the impact is in line (or even Umpire's Call), this could be curtains for Lomror. Umpire's Call on Impact and the ball is going on to hit the stumps. Lomror has to go! 114/619.2 straight to backward point! Slower delivery banged into the track outside off stump. Karn tries to upper cut it over backward point but just does not have any pace to work with. In the end, he spoons it straight to Gowtham at backward point, who makes no mistake! 121/819.3 oh well! Back of a length delivery outside off stump. Siraj shuffles across his crease and looks for the scoop first up. Seems to miss but Pooran thinks there is a nick. In fact, LSG have reviewed this one! The ball does pass close to the bat and there is indeed a slight spike as the ball is next to the gloves. Inspired review, and Naveen is now on a hat-trick! 121/9Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL126/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.3)Did not bat: HV PatelFall of wickets: 1-62 (Virat Kohli, 8.6 ov), 2-75 (Anuj Rawat, 11.4 ov), 3-80 (Glenn Maxwell, 12.4 ov), 4-90 (Suyash Prabhudessai, 14.3 ov), 5-109 (Faf du Plessis, 16.5 ov), 6-114 (Mahipal Lomror, 17.5 ov), 7-117 (Dinesh Karthik, 18.4 ov), 8-121 (Karn Sharma, 19.2 ov), 9-121 (Mohammed Siraj, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 Siraj gets Mayers! Oh my! Back of a length delivery on off stump that seems to hurry onto Mayers. He has a swipe at it but splices it badly. The ball lobs up towards mid on, where Rawat does the rest! Massive, massive moment in the game! 0/14.1 Badoni bites the dust too! RCB are all over LSG! In the slot outside off stump and Badoni's eyes light up. He tries to go inside out but does not quite get the elevation he is after. Hits it in the air in the extra cover region and Kohli does the rest, leaping up into the air and snaffling it! 21/33.3 Krunal bites the dust! Given just a bit of air on a length outside off stump. Krunal comes down the track and is not to the pitch of the ball. In the end, all he does is chip it straight to Kohli at long off, who makes no mistake! LSG in a spot of bother now! 19/25.1 appeal for a stumping! Googly tossed up nicely on a length just outside off stump. Hooda goes searching for it and plays all over it as the ball snakes past the inside edge. Karthik whips off the bails in a flash but has Hooda dragged his back foot out of his crease? We go through the entire protocol of checking whether there is a nick. No bat involved but Hooda's back foot is on the crease when Karthik takes off the bails! LSG are in disarray, and RCB, at this stage, can do no wrong! 27/410.4 Stoinis perishes! LSG are imploding here! Flighted on a length outside off stump. Stoinis looks to go inside out but is nowhere close to the pitch of the ball. Slices it a mile in the air and Prabhudessai does the rest at long off! 65/66.6 taken at deep square leg! Pooran goes! Full delivery outside leg stump and Pooran tries to hit that into next week. The ball, though, just holds in the surface a little and he gets it right off the toe end of the bat. The ball goes miles up into the air and when it comes down, Lomror does the rest on the fence! 38/511.1 oh dear! LSG are finding new ways to get out now! Back of a length delivery on off stump. Gowtham dabs it towards deep backward point and scampers back for the second. The throw is accurate enough and Karthik takes off the bails at the batter's end but has Gowtham made his ground by then? No he has not! Gowtham's arm was not as extended as it should have been and he has to now walk back! 66/714.4 dropped! But Bishnoi has run himself out, this is just crazy cricket! Length delivery outside off stump. Bishnoi reverse-sweeps it hard towards backward point, where Hazlewood puts it down. Bishnoi then, for some reason, thinks the second is on and despite the dive, is at least a yard short of his ground! 77/819.5 that will be that! RCB win by 18 runs! Slower delivery on a length on leg stump. Mishra is at least a week early into his attempted lofted stroke and somehow skews it towards the keeper. Karthik settles under it and completes the catch, handing RCB their fifth win this season! 108/1018.4 edged and taken! Dug into the track outside off stump. Naveen tries to use the pace and ramp it over the keeper's head. He gets bat on it but only manages a very faint tickle that Karthik snaps up with the minimal of fuss! 103/9Extras7 (b 1, lb 1, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL108 all out (19.5 Overs, RR: 5.44)Did not bat: Yash ThakurFall of wickets: 1-0 (Kyle Mayers, 0.2 ov), 2-19 (Krunal Pandya, 3.3 ov), 3-21 (Ayush Badoni, 4.1 ov), 4-27 (Deepak Hooda, 5.1 ov), 5-38 (Nicholas Pooran, 6.6 ov), 6-65 (Marcus Stoinis, 10.4 ov), 7-66 (Krishnappa Gowtham, 11.1 ov), 8-77 (Ravi Bishnoi, 14.4 ov), 9-103 (Naveen-ul-Haq, 18.4 ov), 10-108 (Amit Mishra, 19.5 ov)
