- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.3 And that's the end of Sudharsan's knock! Hazlewood uses pace and bounce to end a solid knock. 143kph back of length delivery hurries Sudharsan, who is late into the shot and it goes off the toe end back to Hazlewood, who takes a simple catch 160/212.4 And there's the breakthrough! Gill was trying to take on this short-ish ball, and swings hard at it. Doesn't get it off the middle and it's a simple catch for DDP at long-on. Suyash takes a bow in celebration as the GT captain walks off 128/117.4 And that's gone to short third! Bhuvneshwar went for the yorker and Buttler went for the reverse-scoop. But he can't quite get under it and force the pace. No elevation at all and that's straight down Hazlewood's throat at short third. RCB pulling things back very well here 177/3Extras6 (lb 3, w 3)TOTAL205/3 (20 Overs, RR: 10.25)Fall of wickets: 1-128 (Shubman Gill, 12.4 ov), 2-160 (Sai Sudharsan, 15.3 ov), 3-177 (Jos Buttler, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.6 And now Bethell's carved this right to point! Sat up to be hit outside off, in the slot. But he middled this right at the one fielder standing there. He lets out a small scream in agony. Had a big chance in this chase here, and it's slipped him by. For now 26/113.4 And now Kohli chops on! Short and wide, Kohli looks for the pull but gets a thick inside edge on this slower bouncer and hears the death rattle. Kohli walks off to great applause, but he won't be happy at getting out there 154/312.5 Oh, Rashid Khan shows why he's rated as highly as he is! A sensational knock from Padikkal comes to an end. It's the googly from around the wicket, and Padikkal plays down the wrong line as he skips out of his crease. The ball spins away past the outside edge and dislodges the off-bail 141/215.3 Oh no, that's gone high in the air and Washington settles under it at cover! This is full on leg and Patidar looks to swing it down the ground. Skies it off the outside half of the bat and Suthar gets a big, big wicket - his first in the IPL! Washington makes some amends for that first-over drop. Can GT now amp up the pressure? 173/514.6 Oh, what a catch at cover by Suthar! This match is far from over! On a length outside off and Jitesh looks to slap it away. But it's too close to Suthar who takes a good catch diving to his left 171/4Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL206/5 (18.5 Overs, RR: 10.93)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (Jacob Bethell, 2.6 ov), 2-141 (Devdutt Padikkal, 12.5 ov), 3-154 (Virat Kohli, 13.4 ov), 4-171 (Jitesh Sharma, 14.6 ov), 5-173 (Rajat Patidar, 15.3 ov)
