    0.1 a brute of a delivery, and Salt is outta here! This is an absolute snorter and Salt has no idea on how to react. On middle stump and this keeps climbing through. Salt cannot get out of the way and the ball pings near the handle of the bat. Simple catch for Jurel, and RCB have been stunned early! 0/1
    4.5 Bishnoi does Kohli all ends up, and Kohli has to walk! Beautifully-disguised googly, on a length just outside off. Dips on Kohli late and he is nowhere to the pitch of the ball as he looks to go inside-out. The ball rips in, goes past Kohli's flailing blade and crashes into the stumps. Bishnoi holds his arms aloft, and why shouldn't he. He has deceived Kohli completely here! 58/3
    2.6 in the air, and Hetmyer redeems himself! Hard length on middle and leg. Sticks in the surface and Padikkal, trying to pick it up, shanks it a mile up. Hetmyer, initially running in from deep square, holds his position and has to then lunge forward at the last moment. Does so with aplomb, and Archer, after taking a bit of tap, has his second! 45/2
    17.1 Sandeep induces the miscue, and Patidar departs! Zipped in full on leg, and this seems to just stick in the surface slightly. Patidar a shade early into his slog and the ball skews up off the bottom part of the blade. Only gets the elevation he wants and Ferreira does the rest at deep mid wicket. A stunning knock, although someone else will now have to take RCB past 200! 166/8
    6.2 Hetmyer lunges forward, and he gobbles up another sharp grab! Given a hint of air just outside off. Krunal takes a step down and tries to go over long off. Slices across it, though, and does not get the elevation he wants. Arrows it flat to long off, where Hetmyer tumbles forward and takes it well above the turf. Bishnoi has two, and RCB four down now! 62/4
    8.4 rapped on the pad, and on your way, says the ump! Jitesh chats to his skipper and then opts against the review. Back of a length on middle, and this nips in a touch. Keeps a tad low too and Jitesh cannot get his bat down in time. Pinned right in front and this seems like a good decision to not review. RCB five down now! 76/5
    10.6 straight down Hetmyer's throat, and David falls too! Slower ball bashed half-way down the track. It is so slow and so short that it barely gets to David. He still tries to muscle it but cannot muster the requisite elevation. Hits it flat to long on, and Brijesh, just like that, has two! 94/6
    13.6 oh, this goes way up, touches the moon, and is taken on the second attempt! Pushed in on a length just outside leg. Stops in the surface, though, and Shepherd makes a meal of his swipe. The ball goes straight up off the top edge and Brijesh, stood at short fine leg, reacts in time to catch the bobble, having spilled the chance at the first time of asking. RCB seven down now! 125/7

    1.6 nicked and gone! Hazlewood is back, and Jaiswal has to trudge off! Back of a length just outside off. Jaiswal has a pop at it but does not have enough room to work with. Only manages a healthy nick and Jitesh snares it smartly to his left. Hazlewood hands RR their first powerplay wicket of the season, and this opening stand has been thwarted inside two overs! 21/1
    8.1 clothed to long on, and Sooryavanshi perishes! Back of a length outside off. Sooryavanshi winds up and has a huge swipe at it. Chunks it off the inside half of the bat, though, and the ball arrows to long on. Kohli lunges low to his left and does the rest. But the stadium and those at home collectively rise to their feet. An innings from out of this world, and those who witnessed it, will tell tales about it for years and years! 129/2

    8.2 oh dear, what have you done, Hetmyer?! Krunal welcomes Hetmyer with a bumper outside off. Hetmyer is so taken aback by it that he does not know what to do with it. He dangles his bat at the last moment and gives Hazlewood some catching practice at short third. Bizarre dismissal, but the RCB fans have now found their voice! 129/3
    9.4 and something does give! Oh my, Parag bites the dust too! Hard length just outside off. Parag stands up tall and looks to shovel it over long on. Miscues it off the toe-end and that brings long on into play. Krunal moves to his right and snaffles up the chance. RCB going nowhere! 134/4
