- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.4 dropped on 0, dropped on 10, caught on 92! Chasing his 100th hundred in all formats and only eight runs away from the IPL's 100th hundred, Virat Kohli falls at deep extra cover. Arshdeep went full and wide and Kohli sliced this shot well, perhaps too well! Flies into the hands of Rossouw few metres inside the boundary line and Kohli must go. Kohli swings the bat around his head like a lasso to acknowledge the crowd's response 211/42.2 There's his maiden wicket! Gets some extra bounce with this short and wide ball. Du Plessis tries to slap it over extra cover but ends up slicing it more towards deep point. Boundary rider makes no mistake 19/14.4 change of pace from the fast bowler does the trick! Rolls his wrists while delivering this. Bowls full around leg, and Jacks tries to clip it over backward square leg, but ends up dragging the shot more towards short fine leg. Smart work from Harshal moving to his left and another reward for the bowler for his back-bending effort 43/29.6 smart catch from Bairstow as Curran pushes it full and wide again. Patidar reaches out to guide one behind point, but got a thick edge on this occasion. Out for a smart 55 119/319.6 full quick ball angling into Green. He fails to get under it totally but still manages to smack it to long on's right. However the fielder runs to his right, puts in a dive, and this time it is taken. Curran helps PBKS finish on a semi-high as RCB finish on 241 for 7 241/719.1 hurries onto Karthik and it hits him high on the bat. Harshal cranks his pace up, bowls short around off and he is too slow to get in position for the pull. Sliced to Curran lurking near long on 238/519.4 Harshal moves to No. 1 on the purple cap list as Lomror's off-stump gets knocked back. Dipping slower-ball yorker, with the line closer to off stump this time. Lomror swings across the line, ball sneaks under the bat, and the bails get splayed 240/6Extras8 (lb 1, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL241/7 (20 Overs, RR: 12.05)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Faf du Plessis, 2.2 ov), 2-43 (Will Jacks, 4.4 ov), 3-119 (Rajat Patidar, 9.6 ov), 4-211 (Virat Kohli, 17.4 ov), 5-238 (Dinesh Karthik, 19.1 ov), 6-240 (Mahipal Lomror, 19.4 ov), 7-241 (Cameron Green, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 pinned in front, up goes the finger! Plumb lbw and Prabhsimran won't be reviewing... Swapnil strikes in his first over, sliding the ball in with the angle to beat the inside edge and rap the batter on the knee. Squared up on the crease, Looked a very straightforward decision 6/15.5 Du Plessis, you beauty! From mid-off, he senses the ball will go over his head, so he turns with his face away from the action, and then tracks the ball coming over his shoulder, before diving full stretch to take a catch. Overpitched ball outside off and Bairstow tried to loft it over the infield, but the ball came off the bat's toe. Important breakthrough 71/28.6 miscued down the throat of long-on! The break has broken Rossouw's focus and he picks out the boundary-rider. Not a great ball, it sits up to be hit but there's no timing and it ends up being a simple take for Jacks a few yards in. Rossouw yelped in frustration moments after connecting, knowing he'd given it away 107/313.4 tucked into the leg side, they are pushing hard for two more... Kohli tears in and underarms into the stumps, and RCB are celebrating! Shashank is inches short here! Just as with Rossouw, he is dismissed the ball after requiring treatment for an injury! He walks off less than gruntled, and Kings are sinking. Kohli with the magic in the field, and boy doesn't he enjoy those moments. Hared in from deep midwicket, pounced and threw into the ground while in midair, then celebrated like a boss as the replays confirmed the dsmissal! 151/610.5 bowled 'im! Ripping legbreak, hits the top of off. Karn roars and punches the air in celebration - and why not? It was a lovely bit of bowling. Pitched on a length around leg stump and spinning sharply across the bows as Jitesh went for the big ole slog over the leg side 125/411.2 leading edge to cover, another one goes! Livingstone closes the face looking to turn the ball to leg and merely sends a looping catch into the off side. Swapnil gets his second of the night and it is looking increasingly like curtains for PBKS 126/515.3 kerrrrrrrr-splat! Off stump out of the ground, RCB closing in. Superbly bowled by Ferguson, who rocks out what looks like a fiendish legcutter that dips and grips to beats Curran's swing on the inside and send Kings' captain on his way 170/814.6 full, straight, hit on the pads... up goes the finger but Ashutosh reviews. No bat involved, I think, but it may be tight on hitting leg stump. Ball-tracking will have the final say, only has to be clipping. Ashutosh seems to have had his mind made up already and starts to walk, as the projection returns "umpire's call". Niton Menon repeats the dose and Kings' last hope heads to the dressing room 164/716.1 full and flicked... straight to the man back! Harshal picks out deep backward square leg, well held by Ferguson as he steadied himself out by the rope. Golden duck for Harshal and this goose is almost fully cooked 174/916.6 plinked to mid-on, it's red rover for PBKS! A limp swipe and the ball nearly dies on Karn Sharma has he stumbles in to complete the catch. Doesn't need to be perfect, because the scorecard already looks good for RCB - victors by 60 runs 181/10Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL181 all out (17 Overs, RR: 10.64)Did not bat: V KaverappaFall of wickets: 1-6 (Prabhsimran Singh, 0.4 ov), 2-71 (Jonny Bairstow, 5.5 ov), 3-107 (Rilee Rossouw, 8.6 ov), 4-125 (Jitesh Sharma, 10.5 ov), 5-126 (Liam Livingstone, 11.2 ov), 6-151 (Shashank Singh, 13.4 ov), 7-164 (Ashutosh Sharma, 14.6 ov), 8-170 (Sam Curran, 15.3 ov), 9-174 (Harshal Patel, 16.1 ov), 10-181 (Arshdeep Singh, 16.6 ov)
