17.3Arshad Khan to Jitesh Sharma. no run, Right in the blockhole, on middle, Jitesh Sharma steps across but only manages to dig it out towards mid on.

150 runs for RCB 17.2Arshad Khan to Virat Kohli. 1 run, Back of a length and around off, Virat Kohli guides it away to deep third for a run. RCB are one big hit away from the win now.

Oh, dear! Arshad Khan has gone down, and he seems to be in a lot of pain. Hopefully, it is just a cramp, and the physio is out stretching his left hamstring. After a bit of a wait, Arshad is good to go again.

17.1Arshad Khan to Jitesh Sharma. 1 run, Short of a length and on off, Jitesh Sharma runs it down to deep third for a single. Arshad has gone down to the ground and looks like he is suffering from cramps here.

15.6Arshad Khan to Virat Kohli. no run, Kohli survives! Arshad Khan serves this fuller and around off, Virat Kohli looks to loft it down the ground but miscues it off the bottom half of the bat. It flies towards mid on, where Shubman Gill dives forward and grabs it with both hands. He is claiming the catch, but Kohli is not going anywhere. The third umpire is called upon to check the catch. The replay shows that when Gill's hands hit the ground, the ball just pops out, and some part of the ball is in contact with the ground. It is Not Out, and Kohli throws a punch in delight. He wants to stay till the end.

Is that a fair catch? Shubman Gill seems to have taken it cleanly, but Virat Kohli wants the umpire to have a look. Eventually, Gill isn't completely sure and the third umpire is called in. Replays show that the catch isn't quite clean but the fingers do seem underneath the ball. Really tough one to judge whether any part of the ball touched the turf or not. The third umpire feels that some part of the ball is touching the ground and the zoomer does confirm it as well. NOT OUT! The biggest cheer of the night from the crowd comes out as well.

15.5Arshad Khan to Jitesh Sharma. 1 run, Hard length and on off, Jitesh Sharma pats it with a straight bat towards mid off for a run.

15.2Arshad Khan to Virat Kohli. FOUR, FOUR! Put away with ease! Arshad serves the short ball but the line is a little too straight, around leg. Kohli stays inside the line and rolls his wrists to help the pull towards deep fine leg for a boundary. RCB require 13 more runs.

15.1Arshad Khan to Virat Kohli. no run, Good length and on off, Virat Kohli opens the bat face and steers it on the bounce to backward point.

14.6Prasidh Krishna to Jitesh Sharma. no run, Dug in short at 143 kph, over off. Jitesh arches back to play the upper cut but is beaten for pace.

The next batter in is Jitesh Sharma. Also, Prasidh Krishna has been called into the attack. Can he pull off something special here?

5 wickets down for RCB. Out batsman is Tim David 13.6Arshad Khan to Tim David. out, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! The Titans get the review right and Tim David departs with RCB needing 24 more runs. Arshad gets the ball to move away off the deck, on a good length, on off and middle. David does not move his feet at all and brings his bat out in front for the block. The ball decks away to go past the outside edge before going through to the keeper, Jos Buttler. Was there an edge? GT think so but the appeal gets turned down. There was a noise, and Shubman Gill takes the review. A spike on the UltraEdge when the ball is next to the bat and the on-field decision will have to be overturned. RCB are now 5 down for 132.

13.5Arshad Khan to Tim David. no run, Leaving the right-hander and this is fuller in length. Tim slices it with an open bat face but picks out the man at backward point.

13.1Arshad Khan to Tim David. 1 run, Across the off stump, on a good length. David stays back and dabs it to the right of point for a single. Kohli jogs to the other end to complete the run.

Strategic Break! It would not be too far-fetched to say that Bengaluru have one hand on the trophy. It is that man, Virat Kohli, once again, who has been the talking point in this chase, notching up his fastest fifty in IPL. He is hobbling a bit, but would want to stay till the end and finish the job. Gujarat really need a miracle here, needing to pick up wickets in bunches, but they do not have enough runs to play with here.

12.6Rashid Khan to Tim David. 1 run, Dishes out the googly, a bit shorter, on middle. David rocks back and heaves it towards deep mid-wicket for a run.

12.3Rashid Khan to Tim David. SIX, SIX! Just over! Rashid drops it fractionally short, on off. David picks the length early and smacks it down the ground with a horizontal bat. Not from the middle of the bat but enough to clear the leaping Kagiso Rabada on the long on fence. 33 more needed for RCB.

12.2Rashid Khan to Tim David. no run, Tossed up, on off, David blocks it off.

12.1Rashid Khan to Virat Kohli. 1 run, In the air...but out of reach! Leg-break by Rashid, on a good length, on off. The ball stops on Kohli, who tries to push it down the ground. He plays it uppishly and despite an acrobatic leap to his left by Rashid, the ball evades him. Single taken.

Halt! The physio is out once again for Virat Kohli, who is getting his right knee strapped up. Kohli is now ready to resume.

11.6Arshad Khan to Virat Kohli. 1 run, Excellent running! Length again, in and around off, Kohli drops it with soft hands in front of cover-point and scampers through for one. 40 needed now off 48 balls.

Kohli smacks the pull, uppishly and wide to the left of Jason Holder at mid-wicket for a boundary. According to the on-air commentators, this is Kohli's fastest IPL half-century, what a time to do it as well.

11.1Arshad Khan to Virat Kohli. no run, No run there. Arshad hits a hard length and bowls it on off. Kohli plays it late, nudging it down in front of point and looks for the single but David rightly sends him back.

Still no Prasidh Krishna. Shubman Gill has turned to Arshad Khan.

10.6Rashid Khan to Tim David. FOUR, FOUR! Streaky but invaluable for Tim David. Fullish length, floated outside off. David makes room to cut again, but slices it well wide of the first slip fielder and the ball rolls away into the fence. 47 needed off 54 balls.

10.5Rashid Khan to Tim David. no run, Top delivery! Flatter googly on off, darts back in sharply. David backs away and jams it into the off side.

Slight halt! Virat Kohli has called for the physio. Looks like it is just cramps. He is taking some fluids in and is ready to go again.

10.4Rashid Khan to Tim David. 2 runs, Another fine effort in the deep from Arshad. Floated up outside off, David reaches out and hits it through covers. Arshad Khan at sweeper cover, runs a long way to his right and dives in to save a couple of runs. 51 needed now off 56 balls.

10.3Rashid Khan to Tim David. no run, Oh, nearly! Tossed-up googly, lands it just outside off. Tim David backs away to go over covers but is nearly beaten in the flight. David manages to eke out an inside edge.

10.1Rashid Khan to Virat Kohli. 2 runs, Excellent fielding in the deep, but Tim David survives. Tossed up by Rashid, full and outside off. Virat Kohli plays a lovely cover drive but Sai Sudharsan springs to his left and gets a hand on it. The batters look for two but David is a bit sluggish to get back. Arshad Khan picks up the ball and fires in a direct hit at the bowler's end. The replays show that David did well to slide his bat inside the crease in time.

Direct hit! The run out appeal has been checked in the background, and Tim David is safe. The third umpire wants to be sure and has another look. David is safely in.

9.6Jason Holder to Tim David. no run, A steepler from Holder this time. Banged in short over off, near head height and David lets it go.

100 runs for RCB 9.5Jason Holder to Tim David. FOUR, FOUR! That will ease the nerves for David. Dug in halfway down the pitch and outside off, no real bite on it. David hangs back, reaches out and slaps the pull wide of long on for a boundary. 100 UP FOR RCB.

8.6Rashid Khan to Tim David. no run, Probing length from Rashid, in and around off. Tim David gets a big stride in and blocks it off.

Two wickets in the over, just what the doctor ordered for GT. Tim David makes his way out to bat. This should be a fascinating battle between David and Rashid.

8.5Rashid Khan to Krunal Pandya. out, OUT! LBW! Would you believe it? Rashid Khan pulls GT back into the game in a matter of just 4 balls. That's pretty plumb and Virat Kohli doesn't even bother telling Krunal Pandya to take the review. Flatter one from Rashid, bowled full and on off. Pandya lunges across to drag the sweep shot fine but plays all around it. The ball catches him on the crouched back thigh, and up goes the finger. From 89/2, RCB are now 91/4, still needing 65 for the win.

8.4Rashid Khan to Virat Kohli. 1 run, Dragged short on leg, Kohli swivels back and hoicks the pull just to the right of deep backward square leg for a run.

8.3Rashid Khan to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Full again, on middle and leg, pushed back past the bowler and down to long on for a run.

3 wickets down for RCB. Out batsman is Rajat Patidar 8.2Rashid Khan to Rajat Patidar. out, OUT! CAUGHT! Kagiso Rabada steps close to the ropes, but does well to just jam the brakes, and Rashid Khan gets a wicket in his very first over. Nicely tossed up, on middle and this one dips a bit as well. Rajat Patidar goes down on one knee and looks to slog it away. Patidar gets it high on the bat and the ball sails down to long on, where the catch is taken. RCB are now 89/3.

8.1Rashid Khan to Virat Kohli. 1 run, Tossed up, full and around off. This is driven along the turf to long off for a single.

STRATEGIC BREAK! Bengaluru are icing this chase and Virat Kohli looks in devastating form. The target wasn't a big one to begin with, but the way RCB began just ruined any hopes of a comeback from the Gujarat. GT do have a couple of wickets to their name, but with just 68 needed off 72 balls and 8 wickets in hand, GT will need more than a miracle to even take things really deep. It will be spin after the break in the form of Rashid Khan. Shubman Gill has positioned himself at slip.

7.6Jason Holder to Rajat Patidar. FOUR, FOUR! Gets it away! Into the surface, on middle, sits up nicely for the batter. Rajat Patidar gets on top of it, swivels and swats it wide of long on for a boundary. RCB need 68 runs in 72 balls.

7.5Jason Holder to Rajat Patidar. no run, Short of a length and outside off, Rajat Patidar cuts it on the bounce to point.

7.4Jason Holder to Virat Kohli. 1 run, Pace off, good length and on middle, Virat Kohli works it towards the mid on region and calls for the run. Kagiso Rabada from mid-wicket runs towards the ball but slides over it. Kohli thinks about the second, but long on is quick to get to the ball.

Jason Holder comes into the attack now.

6.6Mohammed Siraj to Rajat Patidar. no run, Dug into the surface, on middle, Rajat Patidar clips it to short mid-wicket. Siraj finishes his spell in the final with figures of 4-0-36-1.

6.6Mohammed Siraj to Rajat Patidar. wide, 1 run, WIDE! Bangs in a bouncer, on off, but a bit too high for the batter, Rajat Patidar lets it go. Called a wide.

30 runs for Virat Kohli 5.6Kagiso Rabada to Virat Kohli. SIX, SIX! Virat Kohli is not holding back! Kagiso Rabada fires in a quick bumper, on middle and leg.

5.5Kagiso Rabada to Rajat Patidar. 1 run, On a length and on middle, Rajat Patidar flicks it through square leg for a single.

5.4Kagiso Rabada to Rajat Patidar. no run, Bangs in a bouncer now, on middle and leg, Rajat Patidar ducks under it.

5.3Kagiso Rabada to Rajat Patidar. no run, Fuller and on off, shaping in, Rajat Patidar gets forward and blocks it out.

5.2Kagiso Rabada to Rajat Patidar. no run, Beaten! Good-length delivery, around off, holds its line, Rajat Patidar goes for the big booming drive but gets beaten on the outside edge.

Kagiso Rabada does repay the trust shown in him by Shubman Gill. The RCB skipper, Rajat Patidar, is in next.

5.1Kagiso Rabada to Devdutt Padikkal. out, OUT! CAUGHT! Wow, gutsy move from Shubman Gill to stick with Kagiso Rabada, and that brings in another wicket for the Titans. Kagiso Rabada bowls this fuller and keeps it away from the batter, outside off. Devdutt Padikkal backs away a long way and just throws his bat at it to reach out. He ends up slicing it off the outer half of the bat towards deep third, where Arshad Khan quickly runs to his left, crouches low and takes a fantastic catch near his face. That is also wicket number 29 for Rabada, which secures the Purple Cap for him.

Bowling change? Nope. Kagiso Rabada will continue, even after going for 37 in his first 2 overs.

4.6Mohammed Siraj to Devdutt Padikkal. 1 run, On a length and on middle and off, Devdutt Padikkal runs it down to deep third for a run.

4.4Mohammed Siraj to Devdutt Padikkal. no run, Change of pace, full and on middle, Devdutt Padikkal knocks it back to the bowler.

A sliver of hope for GT, but they will need a lot more to get back into this contest. That said, Devdutt Padikkal walks in to bat at number 3 for RCB.

4.3Mohammed Siraj to Venkatesh Iyer. out, OUT! TAKEN! A much-needed breakthrough for the Titans. Mohammed Siraj hits the deck hard this time, on middle, skids through a bit. Venkatesh Iyer stays deep inside his crease to flat-bat it down the ground but gets rushed again. He fails to get the elevation and hits it tamely towards mid on, where Kagiso Rabada takes a simple catch. A bit of a send-off from Siraj, but Venkatesh has done his job. RCB are 62/1, chasing 156 runs.

30 runs for Venkatesh Iyer 4.2Mohammed Siraj to Venkatesh Iyer. SIX, SIX! Goes all the way! Mohammed Siraj bangs in a quick bumper, on middle and leg, Venkatesh Iyer looks to heave it away but gets hurried a bit. It flies off the top edge towards the deep backward square leg fence. Just 94 needed now for RCB.

4.1Mohammed Siraj to Virat Kohli. 1 run, Follows the batter, lands this back of a length and angling into the leg side. Virat Kohli pulls it away to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Mohammed Siraj to continue. Shubman Gill wants to stick to the regular plan, even when the match is slipping out of GT's hands.

3.6Kagiso Rabada to Venkatesh Iyer. no run, Struck on the body. A proper short ball to the left-hander, over middle. Venkatesh moves towards the leg side and shapes up for the pull but catches it on the elbow. He is not aware of where the ball is but luckily for him, it lands away from the off stump. Rabada goes for 19 runs in his 2nd over and GT are left scratching their heads. RCB need 101 runs from 96 balls.

3.5Kagiso Rabada to Virat Kohli. 1 run, Into the surface, following the batter, Kohli nails the pull but picks out the man at deep square leg. Just a single.

3.4Kagiso Rabada to Virat Kohli. FOUR, FOUR! Beats the fielder in the deep. Kohli is rampant, and the crowd is absolutely loving it. Dug in slightly short by Kagiso, on middle. Kohli gets it at a good height and pulls it hard and wide of deep square leg. Nishant Sindhu slides to his left in the deep but in vain.

50 runs for RCB 3.3Kagiso Rabada to Virat Kohli. SIX, SIX! Quality hit! And just like that, the 50 is up for RCB in 3.3 overs. Bowled at 155 kph by Rabada, angled in at the sticks, on a good length. Kohli snaps his wrists and whips it with ease over the deep mid-wicket fence.

3.2Kagiso Rabada to Virat Kohli. FOUR, FOUR! Played squarer this time but the result is the same. A bit shorter than the previous ball and on middle. Kohli gets his hands through and smears it through square leg for four more.

3.1Kagiso Rabada to Virat Kohli. FOUR, FOUR! Easy pickings! Too full, too straight by Rabada, on the pads. Kohli is not going to miss out as he clips it down to the deep fine fence.

2.6Mohammed Siraj to Venkatesh Iyer. no run, Bowled on a shortish length, over middle. Venkatesh Iyer backs away and swings hard for the pull but misses.

2.5Mohammed Siraj to Venkatesh Iyer. FOUR, FOUR! Not quite short enough to trouble the tall Iyer, and he climbs onto it. Siraj bangs it in short, across off. It comes at shoulder height and Venkatesh stands tall to pull it over mid-wicket for a four.

2.4Mohammed Siraj to Virat Kohli. 1 run, A bit of nip back into the right-hander and it kicks up a bit too. Kohli advances and taps this good-length ball in front of mid on for a single.

2.3Mohammed Siraj to Virat Kohli. FOUR, FOUR! Put away! Fractionally short, over middle. Kohli gets on top of the bounce and plays the pull wide of mid-wicket. Not quite from the middle of the bat but the ball has enough legs to reach the fence.

2.2Mohammed Siraj to Virat Kohli. no run, An ugly hoick and Kohli is beaten. Siraj hits the hard length, over middle. Virat shimmies down the track and has a heave across the line but the ball goes over his blade.

2.1Mohammed Siraj to Virat Kohli. FOUR, FOUR! Kohli is up and running. Not that bad a ball as it initially looked. Siraj serves it on a good length, on middle. Virat makes use of the angle and glances it fine of the man at deep fine leg for a four to open his account.

RCB are well on their way in the chase. A very expensive over from Kagiso Rabada. Also, the physio is in again to check on Venkatesh Iyer, who is down on the ground. His right knee is being heavily taped up. All set to resume now.

1.6Kagiso Rabada to Venkatesh Iyer. FOUR, FOUR! Streaky, but they all count. Rabada taken down for 18 runs in his first over. Kagiso lands it on a short of a good length. Iyer gives the bowler the charge and throws his hands at the ball. It goes behind off an outside edge and over the head of the leaping Jos Buttler. RCB require 133 runs in 108 balls.

1.5Kagiso Rabada to Venkatesh Iyer. no run, A big swing and a miss! KG hits the deck hard and gets a good lift off the deck, outside off. Venkatesh Iyer leaves nothing in the tank as he swings but can only connect with thin air.

1.4Kagiso Rabada to Venkatesh Iyer. FOUR, FOUR! Hit hard and Shubman Gill at mid off stood no chance. This is on a length by Rabada, in line with the off stump. Venkatesh makes room again and spanks it with a horizontal bat, well wide of mid off to his left. Iyer pulls up after playing the shot but he is doing a fine job of proving RCB with a quick start.

1.3Kagiso Rabada to Venkatesh Iyer. SIX, SIX! Picked up beautifully. Rabada pitches it up, on the pads. Iyer moves a bit towards the leg side and picks it up off the pads. He sends it beyond the deep mid-wicket fence for half a dozen.

1.2Kagiso Rabada to Venkatesh Iyer. no run, Fine riposte from Rabada! He bashes the hard length and gets the ball to climb onto the batter. Iyer gets on his toes to play the late dab but is beaten for pace.

1.1Kagiso Rabada to Venkatesh Iyer. FOUR, FOUR! Nicely done! Rabada begins with a full and this is pushed across the left-hander. Venkatesh backs away and opens up the off side. A lovely extension of the arms and he carves it over point for the first four of the chase.

Kagiso Rabada to share the attack.

0.6Mohammed Siraj to Venkatesh Iyer. 1 run, Curving back into the pads, Venkatesh clips this full ball through square leg and hobbles to the other end.

Halt! Venkatesh Iyer has signalled for the physio who is running onto the field now. Looks like he is having some discomfort in his right knee. He takes in some painkillers and is good to go again.

0.5Mohammed Siraj to Venkatesh Iyer. 2 runs, Siraj hurls it on middle and leg and keeps it on a length. A bit of a late swing back into the batter. Iyer pushes at the ball with hard hands. It races down to deep fine leg off an inside edge, where Arshad Khan is a bit square and he cannot prevent the batters from coming back for the second. Siraj is not happy one bit and feels Khan should have done better there. To be fair to Arshad, the second run was always on.

0.4Mohammed Siraj to Venkatesh Iyer. no run, Bowled on a length, around middle and leg. Iyer swings hard to go big on the leg side. Gets an inside edge onto the pads and Siraj walks up and chirps at the batter.

0.3Mohammed Siraj to Venkatesh Iyer. no run, My word, that was not far away from crashing into the stumps. Siraj pushes the length up. Iyer walks across the stumps towards the off side for the scoop but fails to connect and the ball swings just past the leg pole.

0.2Mohammed Siraj to Virat Kohli. leg byes, 1 run, Leg bye! Slanting in at the pads, Kohli leans across to play the tickle but fails to lay any bat on it. The ball drops beside the strip on the leg side off the pads and the batters cross over.

0.1Mohammed Siraj to Venkatesh Iyer. 1 run, Iyer and RCB are away straight away. Siraj attacks the stumps with a good-length ball. A hint of shape back into the left-hander. Venkatesh punches it on the up back towards Siraj, who leaps and gets a hand on it. It dribbles down to the right of mid on for a single.
