- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.5 appeal for stumping as he looks to go over extra again but Chahar shortens the length and gives it time to turn past his bat. Philippe has only just left the crease, which means he has the time to get back in, especially since de Kock doesn't deal in Dhoni-like no-give stumpings. But his back foot is in the air when he breaks the wicket 71/116.5 are we in for a double-wicket maiden? Padikkal has been placing these perfectly all night but has found the man at long leg now. Short of a length, into the body, uses his wrists to punch this in the air, but straight to Boult 134/511.2 and Bumrah gets to No. 100 with Kohli's wicket. A smart catch by Tiwary at midwicket. Not for the first time Kohli has fallen to a short ball. He looks to pull this but gets a massive top edge. Tiwary has to back-pedal, which he does, and gets to the right of the ball. So he is catching this over his shoulder and on his natural side. Well done. This is a short ball that has got big on him as his weight is still forward when pulling 95/215.2 and he has hit a full toss straight to deep square leg. They are checking it for height, but I feel it is always dipping on de Villiers. He is given so make it four de Villiers wickets for Pollard in eight. Looks like a juicy full toss, but it dips down on him in the last third of its journey, and he ends up mis-hitting straight down the lap of deep square leg 131/316.3 bouncer at 140ks, head high, and Dube is under pressure to go after it. It is so hard to control them from this height. Caught at deep midwicket. Bumrah too good 134/417.2 short and quick, chest-high, Morris is off his toes to try to cut this down, but it gets big on him, and the top edge flies to third man. This wicket might be worth 10 runs in the end 138/6Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL164/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.2)Fall of wickets: 1-71 (Josh Philippe, 7.5 ov), 2-95 (Virat Kohli, 11.2 ov), 3-131 (AB de Villiers, 15.2 ov), 4-134 (Shivam Dube, 16.3 ov), 5-134 (Devdutt Padikkal, 16.5 ov), 6-138 (Chris Morris, 17.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.3 de Kock looks to repeat the shot he played to Steyn last over. The pull to a length ball, but Siraj doesn't offer him the high pace he got from Steyn. Ends up toe-ending it to the deep midwicket. Siraj can do no wrong these days 37/17.5 Chahal does it again. Slows it down, tempts the batsman, and he skips down to try to go for a straight six. The ball drift away a little, and is also slow in the air, and he gets only the toe end on this. Ends up skying it 52/210.4 sensational catch at mid-off. Padikkal uses all his height to dive full-length and forward to send him back. Tiwary is looking for something pitched slightly full to go over mid-off, but this is bowled cross-seam and stops on him. It is dying on Padikkal, but he flies forward to take this inches from the ground. One of the best catches of the season for sure 72/313.5 Chahal gets another batsman with a wide slow legbreak. Unlike Yadav, Krunal Pandya looks to clear long-off. This doesn't turn back, and takes the toe end for a catch to long-off 107/418.5 slower ball, on a length, Pandya is looking to go over extra. And it seems to me he has picked the slower ball, but ends up hitting it straight to extra cover. There is a send-off. RCB have been feisty all night, but this one doesn't involve their captain Kohli. Morris has had something to say to Pandya, who points a finger and says something in return 158/5Extras8 (lb 2, w 6)TOTAL166/5 (19.1 Overs, RR: 8.66)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Quinton de Kock, 5.3 ov), 2-52 (Ishan Kishan, 7.5 ov), 3-72 (Saurabh Tiwary, 10.4 ov), 4-107 (Krunal Pandya, 13.5 ov), 5-158 (Hardik Pandya, 18.5 ov)
