Wanindu Hasaranga to Phil Salt, OUT! CAUGHT! Nicely bowled and RR have their first wicket! Wanindu Hasaranga tosses this one up at 85 clicks, on a fullish length and angles it into middle and leg. Phil Salt sits down for the slog sweep but gets it off the top edge and the ball goes high and over the mid-wicket region. Shimron Hetmyer comes in from the deep and takes a simple enough catch. Salt departs for 26 (23) and he never looked in control out there.

Jofra Archer to Virat Kohli, OUT! CAUGHT! Archer back into the attack, and he gets Kohli right away! Jogs in does Jofra Archer and bowls a leg cutter, slightly into the pitch and around off. Virat Kohli looks to ride the bounce and nonchalantly lift it over covers, but ends up lobbing it straight to the fielder inside the ring. Nitish Rana takes the simplest of catches, and a wonderful innings from Kohli comes to an end as he departs for 70 (42), and RCB are now 156/2. Could RR have brought Jofra on a bit sooner? Because the damage seems to be already done!

Sandeep Sharma to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! CAUGHT! Nitish Rana manages to hold on and Rajasthan Royals are fighting back here. Sandeep Sharma takes pace off and bowls it into the pitch, angling it well across the left-hander. Devdutt Padikkal stays back and has to reach for it as he looks to power it over covers, but mistimes it badly and straight to the fielder. Rana loses it in the lights a bit and ends up wobbling it out. He ends up juggling it multiple times before snatching onto the ball. Devdutt departs after reaching his Fifty and RCB are now 3 down.

Jofra Archer to Tim David, OUT! RUN OUT! There was never a second run there but they had to go for it. Jofra Archer with another hard-length delivery around off. Tim David swings it away without much timing and in front of mid-wicket. Shimron Hetmyer runs in from the deep and throws the ball to the keeper. The throw is a bit wide but Dhruv Jurel is quick t whip off the bails and David is well short. RCB finish with 205/5!

Sandeep Sharma to Rajat Patidar, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Royal Challengers Bengaluru losing wickets in a heap now! Sandeep Sharma with the leg cutter now, on a hard length and gets it to deviate away from around off. Rajat Patidar stays back and looks to slash at it but ends up getting an outside edge through to the keeper. Dhruv Jurel makes no mistake, and the RCB skipper departs cheaply. 

Josh Hazlewood to Yashasvi Jaiswal, OUT! CAUGHT! Josh Hazlewood wins the battle, and Yashasvi Jaiswal departs for a well-made 49 (19). Hazlewood switches the angle and comes from round the wicket this time. Goes into he surface on a back of a length and angles it into the batter. Yashasvi Jaiswal is hurried a bit and cramped for room too. He looks to pull, and the ball just gets big on him. Lobs it off the splice of the bat, in front of mid-wicket. Romario Shepherd moves in a few steps and takes a good low catch to see the back of in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal!

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Vaibhav Suryavanshi, OUT! TIMBER! Bhuvneshwar Kumar with the last laugh here and the veteran manages to outfox the youngster. Bhuvi brings out the knuckle ball now and bowls it on a good length, aiming it at the stumps. No extra bounce here, and Vaibhav Suryavanshi backs away to smash it over the off side, missing it completely. The ball crashes into the stumps and RR are now 52/1 in 4.2 overs.

Krunal Pandya to Nitish Rana, OUT! CAUGHT! Good reactions from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Krunal Pandya gets his second wicket. Not the best of deliveries from Pandya, short and darted in at the pads. Nitish Rana looks to just help it on its way but ends up hitting it flat and over short fine leg. Kumar leaps up and fumbles on the first attempt but manages to hang onto the second attempt when he lands. Rana departs for 28 (22) and RR find themselves in a very familiar position.

Krunal Pandya to Riyan Parag, OUT! CAUGHT! Krunal Pandya makes a big impact on his very first ball and delivers a big blow to RR! Floats it up, nice and full, on middle and Riyan Parag is pre-determined to take on the bowler. Sits on a knee to slog sweep, but the ball turn away a bit and he only manages to get a top edge that goes straight up. Jitesh Sharma calls for the catch, keeps his eyes locked in and takes a good catch to the right of the pitch. 

Josh Hazlewood to Dhruv Jurel, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! What a use of a review for RCB! This could be just what they needed to make a comeback into this game! Josh Hazlewood sees the batter back away and fires it very full and outside off, Dhruv Jurel cannot reach for it and misses to make any connection and the keeper takes it low to his right. There is not much of an appeal but RCB decide to challenge it and send it upstairs for a check. The UltraEdge loads up, and there is a spike as the ball passes the back of the bat. A huge roar across the stadium and the onfield call of NOT OUT is overturned to OUT!

Josh Hazlewood to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Josh Hazlewood doing Josh Hazlewood things! What a timely wicket for RCB! Steams in and hits the deck hard, on a back of a length, around off and gets the ball to nip back in a bit too. Shimron Hetmyer looks to work it across but gets a faint inside edge that goes through to the keeper. Jitesh Sharma takes a good catch moving to his right and Shimron Hetmyer walks for another paltry score. 

Yash Dayal to Shubham Dubey, OUT! TAKEN! That should be the final nail in the coffin! Rajasthan Royals have butchered this chase and are on the brink of losing it. A full toss, on middle, Shubham Dubey could have hit it anywhere but he swings across and picks up Phil Salt at deep mid-wicket. 

Josh Hazlewood to Jofra Archer, OUT! CAUGHT! A golden duck for Jofra Archer and Josh Hazlewood has pulled this game back and how! Rajasthan Royals are losing the plot, AGAIN! He bangs the surface and bowls it on a hard length, over off, Jofra Archer stays put and throws his bat at it, in an attempt to slice it over the infield on the off side. The ball skids through quicker and takes the upper half of the bat. Lobs straight to Rajat Patidar at cover who takes a dolly. Josh Hazlewood on a Hat Trick!

Yash Dayal to Wanindu Hasaranga, OUT! RUN OUT! Superb effort from Jitesh Sharma to execute this runout! Full and on middle, Wanindu Hasaranga knocks it to long off and calls for the second. Is way too slow on the sprint back and Tim David fires the throw, a bit wayward to the keeper. Jitesh Sharma moves across to his left, collects the ball and has to fling himself with an outstretched right hand to knock the bails and Wanindu Hasaranga is still caught short of the crease by a few inches.
