- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 caught at point! Miller dives forward to take the catch inches from the ground as it dipped on him. The delivery was on a good length and seamed away from the right-hander a little. Pujara tried to drive on the up through cover but got a thick outside edge 22/118.3 Awana's broken off stump a third up from the base! Gayle made room but Awana's yorker beat the bat and crashed into off stump. The umpire checks to see if Awana's front foot is okay, it is, just about 158/219.2 lbw! The umpire is quick to send Kohli on his way. Kohli played a strange shot. He kept his back leg planted right in front of the stumps, cleared his front foot and then tried to play a reverse paddle past short third man. He was struck plumb in front by a yorker 166/418.5 bowled him! AB moved across his stumps to try and paddle past short fine leg. Awana had bowled the yorker and it demolished middle and leg stump. Six and out. 164/319.6 Mahmood bounces the batsman, Rahul hooks, Mandeep is on the square leg boundary and runs to his right to hold the catch 174/5Extras7 (lb 1, nb 3, w 3)TOTAL174/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.7)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Cheteshwar Pujara, 4.1 ov), 2-158 (Chris Gayle, 18.3 ov), 3-164 (AB de Villiers, 18.5 ov), 4-166 (Virat Kohli, 19.2 ov), 5-174 (KL Rahul, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 that is some reply from Zaheer! He pulled the length back, pitched outside off, and nipped the ball into the left-hander. Marsh drove off the front foot, leaving a gap between bat and pad, and Zaheer found it. The ball uprooted off stump. 24/115.2 caught at long off! He lofted a full ball down the ground but connected with the bottom of the bat. AB ran in and caught it easily. But is it too late for the RCB? Mahmood goes after a superb half-century 142/216.5 ah, Miller did not know too much about that. He played all around one that went on with the arm and is bowled between bat and pad 162/3Extras8 (lb 4, w 4)TOTAL176/3 (18.1 Overs, RR: 9.68)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Shaun Marsh, 2.3 ov), 2-142 (Azhar Mahmood, 15.2 ov), 3-162 (David Miller, 16.5 ov)
