SIX! Mitchell Johnson to Virat Kohli. Off cutter back of a length, down leg side moves in front pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep backward square leg for 6 runs.
Perfect finish for RCB as Kohli swings away a six to finish on 68. He has taken his team to 175-4 with the two openers, Brendon McCullum (38) and Quinton de Kock (29) also contributing. The spinners managed to find a bit in the surface but RCB have gone more with more seamers, which team will come out on top?

SIX! Andre Russell to Virat Kohli. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. How good was this? Nothing more than a jab with no follow-through but Kohli has hammered the ball for six. He loved it.

FOUR! Shivam Mavi to Virat Kohli. Short, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, well timed in the air under control past deep backward point for 4 runs. Width which gives Kohli opportunity to get under the ball and lift it over the fielders inside the ring. Not the greatest delivery.

FOUR! Umesh Yadav to Shubman Gill. Short, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, well timed in the air under control past deep point for 4 runs.
Spanked to the rope and the young man wins it for KKR. Chris Lynn stands at the other end on 62 not out and has seen his team through for the win. A couple of handy contributions from the top by Sunil Narine and Robin Uthappa and that set up the victory with RCB not being able to defend a total again. Sooner or later they will have to start stringing wins together if they want to make the playoffs, KKR though are set up nicely with eight points and are firmly in the hunt.
Mohammed Siraj to Shubman Gill. Yorker, to leg on the back foot working, to mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Singh. Four needed for KKR from the final over.
OUT! Caught. Mohammed Siraj to Dinesh Karthik. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air under control to long on, by Kohli. What a grab but Kohli shows no emotion. Full length dive and he grabs the ball just off the ground. KKR only need five from seven though.

OUT! Caught. Mohammed Siraj to Andre Russell. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, top edge in the air uncontrolled to fine leg, by de Kock. Russell is in and out in a flash. First ball he goes after but the pace is too much to handle. It's a high ball and de Kock does extremely well to track back and take the catch over his shoulder. RCB feel they are back in this.
FOUR! Mohammed Siraj to Nitish Rana. Yorker, wide outside off stump moves in front Steer, well timed past deep backward point for 4 runs, mis-fielded by Chahal. Plenty of pace to work with and Rana opens the face to find the gap. Chahal could have done better as the ball bounced through him.
Strange, Rana holds his bat as he walks to the crease and he looks in pain. So much so that he is going off, Russell is the man to replace him.

FOUR! Murugan Ashwin to Nitish Rana. Googly length ball, down leg side on the back foot pulling, top edge in the air under control past fine leg for 4 runs. Slightly short and that is the invitation which Rana needs. He goes low and hits up and over short fine leg for a boundary.
