- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.5 plonked straight to extra cover, and guess who has come up trump for MI again! Very full and very wide. Just the line and the length Shardul has his field set for. Salt tries to get under it and lift it over extra cover but because of how full the ball is, he cannot muster the elevation he wants. Simple catch to Hardik and Shardul points to the heavens. The man has done it again! 120/114.4 holes out to long on, and Kohli's sluggish knock has come to an end! Full toss outside off. Kohli looks to go downtown but the bat face closes upon impact. Off the bottom half of the blade and SKY, stationed on the fence, does the rest. Kohli departs for a 38-ball 50, and MI finally have their second wicket! 185/215.6 another shank to long on, and Santner has taken out the RCB skipper! This is really clever bowling. Varied his pace all over long, and this is bowled very full on middle and leg. A tad slower than the previous one perhaps, and Patidar can only pick out long on with a miscue. A stunning knock, but someone else will have to take RCB to 240-250 now! 194/319.2 pinned on the boot, and that is plumb! Searing yorker on middle and off. Jitesh walks across and misses his sweep. Gets thumped on the front boot and there was only one place that was heading - into the stumps Boult has a wicket and Jitesh, struck by that yorker, limps off! 231/4Extras13 (lb 1, nb 1, w 11)TOTAL240/4 (20 Overs, RR: 12)Fall of wickets: 1-120 (Phil Salt, 10.5 ov), 2-185 (Virat Kohli, 14.4 ov), 3-194 (Rajat Patidar, 15.6 ov), 4-231 (Jitesh Sharma, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.1 goes straight up, and Rickelton falls! Seems like a googly, hung up full and wide. Rickelton has a wild mow across the line and the ball skews up off the top edge. Bhuvneshwar calls for it early, settles under it in the short third region and does the rest. Vital, vital wicket for RCB! 72/15.2 back of a length on off. Skids off the surface and Rohit blocks it into the on side. And Rohit has pulled the plug on this innings for now. The movement is not good enough, he reckons, and Rohit is retiring hurt. 5712.2 swiped straight to deep backward square leg, and Krunal comes up with the breakthrough again! Tossed up on a length on leg. SKY looks for the sweep but the lack of pace means he has to generate all the power. Off the top edge and an easy catch for Rasikh on the fence! 121/37.5 simple catch to short fine leg, and this chase is flagging now! Seems like another googly. On a length outside leg. Tilak looks to sweep but the ball bounces just enough to take the top edge. Spoons up to Duffy, and that is an incredibly soft dismissal. RCB tighten their grip further! 74/214.4 a terrible miscue, and Hardik is done for the night! Full and wide outside off. Hardik nearly swings himself off his feet and loses his shape completely. Off the outer half of the blade and Shepherd completes the easiest of catches at deep backward point. MI spiraling now! 145/415.3 another soft dismissal! 154/5Extras12 (lb 2, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL222/5 (20 Overs, RR: 11.1)Fall of wickets: 1-72 (Ryan Rickelton, 7.1 ov), 2-74 (Tilak Varma, 7.5 ov), 3-121 (Suryakumar Yadav, 12.2 ov), 4-145 (Hardik Pandya, 14.4 ov), 5-154 (Naman Dhir, 15.3 ov)
