- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.5 that's plumb. Flatter and quicker, a seam-up delivery, Parthiv was already on the back foot, cannot connect the pull and is struck right in front of middle and off 64/117.1 Kuldeep has the breakthrough! Tosses this full, and Kohli goes for a full-blooded straight drive. Couldn't keep it down, though, and Yadav is quick to get across and latch on. Applause for Kohli as he walks off. Fantastic batting from the RCB captain, and they have the opportunity to really push for some scoreboard pressure on KKR today 172/218.5 outside off, and he looks to go inside out, but cannot clear Shubman Gill at the extra cover fence. What a wicket for Narine to strike with! 185/3Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL205/3 (20 Overs, RR: 10.25)Fall of wickets: 1-64 (Parthiv Patel, 7.5 ov), 2-172 (Virat Kohli, 17.1 ov), 3-185 (AB de Villiers, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.3 comes down the wicket, and yorks himself! Terrific bowling, and a big wicket given how well Lynn has been striking it. Turns sharply from wide of the crease, and beats his outside edge as Lynn advances and tries to drive down the ground. Hits the top of off, and Siraj, I would imagine, heaves the biggest sigh of relief imaginable. The Chinnaswamy throbs in anticipation again 108/31.5 a 142.6kph bouncer, Narine goes back and pulls it towards fine leg, cramped a bit. Negi sprints to his right, jumps in the air and takes it with both hands 28/19.5 stops at him this time as Uthappa was looking to go aerial. Ends up chipping it to Southee at long-off. Was a length ball outside off, hit towards the bottom of the bat. Kohli is pumped up 93/215.4 advances and looks to go over the top to another widish ball, and the slice goes towards backward point, and Klaasen the substitute takes this one 139/416.6 full, and he goes towards midwicket, but cannot beat the man stationed there this time. Chahal waits for it, and takes it nice and low to his right, and then sets off on a celebratory sprint! DK thumps his pads in annoyance, but he had to up the ante 153/5Extras13 (lb 2, nb 3, w 8)TOTAL206/5 (19.1 Overs, RR: 10.74)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Sunil Narine, 1.5 ov), 2-93 (Robin Uthappa, 9.5 ov), 3-108 (Chris Lynn, 11.3 ov), 4-139 (Nitish Rana, 15.4 ov), 5-153 (Dinesh Karthik, 16.6 ov)
