- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.6 Asif takes out Kohli! Slower delivery on a length on middle and off stump. Kohli is completely flummoxed by it and after advancing, tries to reach out in front of his body. The ball spoons up in the air. Jaiswal calls early from extra cover and completes the catch! Asif is delighted, and Kohli departs for a 19-ball 18! 50/114.5 Asif takes out another big fish! Off-pace delivery on a full length just outside off stump. du Plessis tries to force it past extra cover but does not quite get the timing he is after. He neither gets it past Jaiswal, nor gets it over him. Offers a simple catch off the toe-end, and this is a massive, massive moment in the game! 119/217.3 cleans him up, brilliant by Sandeep! Another top yorker on middle and leg stump. Maxwell tries to be funky and tries to reverse-sweep it away but the ball is just too good. It sneaks underneath his bat and he hears the death rattle soon after. Take nothing away from this knock, though - it has kept RCB afloat in this contest! 137/515.1 he tries, but perishes! Length delivery hung outside off stump. This might have been a googly but Lomror tries to hack it away anyway. Slices it badly and Jurel, running in from deep mid wicket, completes the catch after a bit of a juggle! 120/315.3 huge appeal, not given! Length delivery on middle and leg stump that pitches and skids through. Karthik is caught on the crease and plays all over it as the ball pins him on the front pad. The umpire says no but RR want to have another look! No bat involved, and Ball Tracking shows that the ball would have thundered into leg stump! RR go bang-bang, and RCB suddenly in a spot of bother now! 120/4Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL171/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.55)Fall of wickets: 1-50 (Virat Kohli, 6.6 ov), 2-119 (Faf du Plessis, 14.5 ov), 3-120 (Mahipal Lomror, 15.1 ov), 4-120 (Dinesh Karthik, 15.3 ov), 5-137 (Glenn Maxwell, 17.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 straight to mid off! Siraj breaks the game open! Full and just outside off stump. Jaiswal plants his front foot and tries to go over mid off. Does not quite get under it, though, and ends up drilling it straight to Kohli at mid off! Just the start RCB were after; just what RR did not need! 1/11.2 Buttler departs for a duck too, would you believe it?! Short, wide and on most days, Buttler would have thrashed it past point. Today, though, the ball just sticks in the surface enough to make Buttler lose control of the stroke. Chips it towards cover point, where Siraj does the rest! 6/21.4 RR are three down, oh my word! Back of a length delivery on off stump that holds in the surface again. Samson tries to swipe it away but is way too early into the stroke. The ball skews up and goes miles up into the air. Rawat calls early and does the job! 7/35.3 huge appeal, and given! Slower yorker on middle and leg stump that seems to dip very late. Root does not seem to pick it and plays all over it as the ball goes past the bat and thuds into the pads. Root has taken this upstairs but it might be more in hope than expectation. Nothing on UltraEdge and three reds on Ball Tracking. Root's debut IPL innings comes to an end and RR slip deeper into trouble! 28/54.2 Padikkal bites the dust too! Back of a length delivery on middle and leg stump. Padikkal flicks it powerfully but the only problem is that he hits it too close to Siraj at mid wicket. Siraj swoops down low and seems to complete a smart catch. The umpires, though, have referred it upstairs. The ball seems to go into his hands on the full but then seems to be very close to the ground. The question is whether he has his fingers underneath it at all times. The third umpire, after a few looks, decides that Siraj's fingers are underneath the ball and Padikkal has to walk back! 20/49.5 Hetmyer perishes! Given just a bit of air on a length on middle and off stump. Hetmyer tries to smash it over long on but for a change, mistimes it completely. In fact, it comes off the toe-end of the bat and Bracewell has the simplest of catches at long on! 59/86.6 holes out to deep mid wicket! This is a procession! Dragged down on off stump and that ought to have travelled the distance. Such is RR's plight, though, that Jurel, despite picking the length early, hits this long-hop straight down Lomror throat at deep mid wicket! 31/67.6 short and wide outside off stump. Hetmyer rocks back and cuts it towards deep point. Ashwin wants the second but is sent back. He stretches out to regain his ground but Rawat has done well to flick the throw back onto the stumps. Has he done well enough, though? Looks like he has! Ashwin is just inches short of his ground when the bails come off, and RR, to add to their woes, now have a run out as well! 50/710.1 Zampa tries the reverse, and departs! Length delivery on off stump that seems to just grip and spin away a little. Zampa tries the funky reverse sweep and plays all over it as the ball kisses the top of off stump! 59/910.3 that will be that! RCB win by 112 runs! Tossed up on a full length on middle and leg stump, and Asif's eyes light up. He tries to smash it into next week but toe-ends it horribly. The ball goes miles up into the air and when it comes down, Kohli is under it to gobble up the chance! What a performance this has been from RCB; what an abject display this was from RR, though! 59/10Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL59 all out (10.3 Overs, RR: 5.61)Did not bat: YS ChahalFall of wickets: 1-1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 0.2 ov), 2-6 (Jos Buttler, 1.2 ov), 3-7 (Sanju Samson, 1.4 ov), 4-20 (Devdutt Padikkal, 4.2 ov), 5-28 (Joe Root, 5.3 ov), 6-31 (Dhruv Jurel, 6.6 ov), 7-50 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 7.6 ov), 8-59 (Shimron Hetmyer, 9.5 ov), 9-59 (Adam Zampa, 10.1 ov), 10-59 (KM Asif, 10.3 ov)
