- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.5 all that pressure to break free has consumed Kohli! He was looking increasingly edgy in the last few overs to break free, and has perished trying to pick another slower short of length ball that Unadkat did well to bowl well outside off and have him fetch it from far. RCB's innings on decelerate mode. 140/43.5 there's Faf out trying to sustain RCB's powerplay salvo! Looks to slap this over cover but this delivery gets big on him, which means he can't generate much power on the shot as Markram takes a simple catch at mid-off. Nattu did well to bowl this into the pitch again. 48/16.6 Oh, beauty! Made Will Jacks look like an amateur! That was tossed up real slow. Tossed up outside off. Jacks got down and was through the sweep very early. But the lack of pace on the ball means he misses it completely and the ball crashes into off stump 65/212.4 lives by the sword, dies by it! Unadkat serves up a full toss into Patidar's hitting arc, he flicks this superbly but ends up picking the lone man in the leg side boundary, at deep square leg. 130/316.3 Cummins holds on at deep midwicket! Three-for for Jaydev Unadkat! Full and wide, Lomror goes back and across and swings it across the line. Cummins was backtracking and sticks his hands up and grabs it while falling backward 161/518.5 Hooked to Nitish Kumar Reddy running in from deep square leg and DK perishes. Cummins takes the pace off again as he goes short. It was an offcutter, angling into Karthik, who looked to help it along, but it goes high in the air and not nearly far enough 193/619.6 Miscues it to long-off and that leaves SRH with 207 to win 206/7Extras7 (lb 2, w 5)TOTAL206/7 (20 Overs, RR: 10.3)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Faf du Plessis, 3.5 ov), 2-65 (Will Jacks, 6.6 ov), 3-130 (Rajat Patidar, 12.4 ov), 4-140 (Virat Kohli, 14.5 ov), 5-161 (Mahipal Lomror, 16.3 ov), 6-193 (Dinesh Karthik, 18.5 ov), 7-206 (Swapnil Singh, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 Goes straight up in the air and that's easy as it comes for Dinesh Karthik! Abhishek Sharma looked to pull away a length delivery and ends up slicing it high in the air. Karthik settled under it early and watched it all the way into his gloves. That's the two openers gone inside four overs! Do RCB have an opening? 37/20.6 The plan works for RCB! The big wicket of Travis Head! Head goes for the big shot, but it spins away so he is completely out of shape. Takes a top edge and pops up fine on the off side and Karn Sharma makes no mistake! 3/14.2 That is some way to make your RCB debut! Markram steps out and misses a full toss and is hit on his back thigh. Finger goes up immediately and Markram is quick to review. No bat involved. Impact seems to have been just in front of off - it could be umpire's call. But we wait for ball tracking. Impact in line and that was dropping to hit the base of leg stump. Swapnil Singh, hit for a four first ball, gets the big wicket of Markram next. Kohli can't hold back his laughter as du Plessis takes Swapnil aside for some instructions. He won't mind how it's come, he'll be elated he got that wicket! 41/37.2 knocked him over! Nitish attempts to reverse sweep that over point but is caught into a tangle as this one zips off the pitch, sips away and flattens the off stump. A delivery every legspinner dreams of bowling. 69/54.6 And Klaasen goes for another big shot but only skies it to mid-on! Swapnil Singh is absolutely pumped! That's a huge wicket! Swapnil pulls his length back just enough and the ball spins away as Klaasen goes after it. The ball balloons high in the air and with Cameron Green under it, there was very little chance of it being dropped. And SRH are four down! Double-wicket over is not a bad way to start your IPL bowling career! Especially if you account for Klaasen! 56/49.1 chipped back to Karn! Samad steps out and has to readjust because Karn flattens his trajectory and gets this to bite off the deck, he attempts a nudge down the ground but ends up lobbing it back as Karn dives to his right to take an excellent catch. 85/613.1 excellent catch from Siraj at short third! Green bowls a good bumper and bumps out his Australian captain. Goes short, wide and Cummins has no pace on it as he tries to help it over, but ends up spooning it high in the air as Siraj running back takes it nice and easy. 124/715.5 Chipped to midwicket and Green has his second! Green looks for the yorker and it ends up as a low full toss around leg. Bhuvneshwar looks to work it leg side but ends up hitting it to Siraj, who grabs on at head height 141/8Extras10 (lb 1, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL171/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.55)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Travis Head, 0.6 ov), 2-37 (Abhishek Sharma, 3.4 ov), 3-41 (Aiden Markram, 4.2 ov), 4-56 (Heinrich Klaasen, 4.6 ov), 5-69 (Nitish Kumar Reddy, 7.2 ov), 6-85 (Abdul Samad, 9.1 ov), 7-124 (Pat Cummins, 13.1 ov), 8-141 (Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 15.5 ov)
