Josh Hazlewood	4	0	22	2	5.50	16	3	1	0	0
0.5 to Q de Kock, De Kock can't cash in on the reprieve. He is out of here two balls later. Sharp back of a length ball shaping into de Kock. He is on the move looking to punch this through covers. Is too close to the ball, and can only manage a thick inside-edge to the right of the keeper who takes a lovely catch low.. 4/1 19.5 to Harshit Rana, Another pull, this is sliced though. Skied and the keeper runs to the left, gets in line with the ball and takes it while reaching forward.. 173/8 See all photos
Yash Dayal	3	0	25	1	8.33	7	3	1	0	0
18.5 to A Raghuvanshi, Sound as ball passes bat, yes, there's a feather as Raghuvanshi pulled. 134ks scramble-seam ball on a shortish length lands around off and angles away. The batter tried to whack it square from the top of the bounce.. 168/7
Rasikh Salam	3	0	35	1	11.66	9	3	3	2	0
9.6 to SP Narine, Finally, finally a wicket for Rasikh and he lets Narine know! Sharp back of a length ball at 132kph outside off. He throws his bat at it, gets a thick outside edge, and Jitesh does the rest.. 107/2
Krunal Pandya	4	0	29	3	7.25	8	2	1	1	0
10.3 to AM Rahane, Pulled straight to deep-backward square leg, that's Rahane falling into the trap. Looked like he wanted to clear the boundary but couldn't generate enough power on the 98ks length ball on the pads. Shot was on, he went deep in the crease, and tried to lift it from down to up while on one knee. Just ended up finding the man. Two quick wickets for RCB. 109/3 12.1 to VR Iyer, RCB continue to fight back, Krunal's pace outdoes Venkatesh. 101ks, on a length, angling away from around the wicket through fourth stump. Venkatesh was upright for a while, then one foot went up as he tried to force a flick through midwicket. Inside edged it onto middle. Krunal pumps his fists with ferocity. 125/4 14.6 to RK Singh, Stump-to-stump does it again. Krunal completes his spell by knocking top of off, he's ensured KKR couldn't run away with the game in the middle overs after a flier. No turn on that, didn't look that short. Rinku went for the pull but that skidded through, went below the bat. 145/5 See all photos
Suyash Sharma	4	0	47	1	11.75	8	6	2	1	0
15.4 to AD Russell, Suyash gets Russell with a googly, just 87ks. Landed on fourth, may have drifted away a touch. Spun back sharply, Russell committed to the shot and got nothing on it. Middle stump and leg stump form a V. 107 for 1 has turned into 150 for 6.. 150/6 See all photos

15.3 to RM Patidar, Pulled, timing's not bad but he finds deep midwicket. Great innings nonetheless, just 13 now needed off 27. Was a length ball around off, another languid bat swing, Rinku ran in and took it on the move. 162/3 See all photos

Varun Chakravarthy	4	0	43	1	10.75	7	5	2	0	0
8.3 to PD Salt, Thick outside edge and Johnson hangs on at short third. A much needed breakthrough for KKR. Legspinner well outside off. Salt throws his bat at it, gets the thick edge, and Johnson moves well to his left. 95/1 See all photos
Harshit Rana	3	0	32	0	10.66	4	5	0	0	0
Sunil Narine	4	0	27	1	6.75	5	1	1	0	0
11.4 to D Padikkal, Padikkal perishes trying to take Narine on, holes out to deep midwicket but Kohli gives him a fist bump on the way out. He danced down the wicket and tried to whip the length ball on the up, bat-face turned inside upon impact. Went straight to the fielder.. 118/2
