16.2 to KL Rahul, there comes the big shot straightaway against pace and he's gone! Pitched up, scrambled seam, he swings down the ground but doesn't quite get the distance and Bethell dives forward for an easy catch. 118/5 16.5 to AR Sharma, bamboozled! The impact sub lasts three balls. At 124.3kmh was that slow legcutter, pitching in line with the stumps and Ashutosh thought he could place it behind square but he was done with his shot, shower and shave before the ball reached him and hit leg stump. 120/6 19.5 to T Stubbs, 135.1kmh, miscues the drive down completely with the change of pace and he skies it to point. Hazlewood gets his bucket hands under it easily. 162/8 See all photos
Yash Dayal	4	0	42	1	10.50	10	5	1	1	1
4.4 to KK Nair, Skies it and it's taken! Short ball angled across, Nair looks to pull it away but is a bit cramped for room. Top edge goes high in the night sky and Bhuvneshwar Kumar makes no mistake. RCB keep getting powerplay wickets. 44/2 See all photos
Josh Hazlewood	4	0	36	2	9.00	10	5	1	1	0
3.4 to Abishek Porel, Hazlewood ends Porel's march! He's strangled down leg! Short down leg, Porel looks to swivel and pull and only gloves it behind. Jitesh takes it diving to his right and the finger goes up immediately. Porel doesn't bother with a review and Hazlewood takes the lead in the Purple Cap race!. 33/1 13.4 to AR Patel, takes away middle stump! It's flat on the ground. You just can't keep this man out of the game in any phase. Good length and towards middle stump, Axar swings across the line and does't connect at all. 102/4 See all photos
Suyash Sharma	4	0	22	0	5.50	8	2	0	0	0
Krunal Pandya	4	0	28	1	7.00	5	0	1	0	0
9.5 to F du Plessis, Faf's struggles come to an end! This is tossed up full on leg and du Plessis clears his front leg and looks to hit it down the ground. Comes off the inside half of the bat and goes straight to Virat Kohli, who makes no mistake and pumps his fist as his opening partner for the last three years walks back to the dugout. 72/3

2.2 to JG Bethell, What a catch! Bethell looks to pull away this shorter ball and doesn't get a hold of it. Karun Nair has to run in from deep backward square and dives in front and holds on to it. Bethell knew the moment he hit it that he was in trouble, and his debut is just a cameo in the end. 20/1 2.4 to D Padikkal, Chopped on! Axar Patel gets both the RCB left-handers at the top order out! It's a bit short outside off and quicker too, at 99.9kph. DDP looks to cut and gets a massive inside edge onto the stumps! The DC skipper is pumped!. 20/2

17.5 to V Kohli, really well-judged catch from Starc at long off! Slow legcutter well outside off, Kohli might think he has enough to send this for six, and it's sailing away, but Starc has his eyes glued to it while he goes to his left, stays just inside the rope and gobbles it nicely. 145/4
