A big shout for LBW, but turned down! Flatter, full and on middle, angling in. Rajat Patidar goes down for the slog sweep but misses and gets hit on the pads. The ball deflects towards point, and the batters set off for the run. The fielder has a shy at the bowler's end but misses, with Patidar putting in a dive. Bishnoi is literally pleading with the umpire, but gets no support from anyone else. Riyan Parag has a chat with his keeper and almost takes the review but decides against it.

OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Ravi Bishnoi gets the big fish here. Virat Kohli was in an attacking mood but he too perishes now. Bishnoi bowls a wrong 'un, flights it up on off to lure the batter. Kohli has a hack across the line but loses his shape. The ball turns in sharply to sneak between bat and pad to rattle the stumps behind. Bishnoi raises his arms in triumph. It's a big success for the Royals.

FOUR! 50 UP FOR RCB! Sandeep Sharma goes a bit fuller and on middle. Virat Kohli uses his feet but stays leg side of the ball. He holds his shape nicely and lofts it cleanly over mid off for a boundary.

FOUR! Finds the gap again! Pitched up again and around off. Virat Kohli stays in his crease as the keeper is up to the stumps. He leans onto the drive and creams it between mid off and extra cover for another boundary.

FOUR! Gets it through! Back of a length and around off. Virat Kohli stays back, opens the face of his bat and uses the pace to steer it away. He threads the gap between backward point and short third with perfection for another boundary.

Lands this on a good length and on off, angling in a bit, Virat Kohli stays back and keeps it out to the off side.

FOUR! Poor delivery and gets the treatment! Jofra Archer bangs this into the pitch but angles it down the leg side. Virat Kohli swivels and helps it on its way to the vacant fine leg fence for four more runs. 

FOUR! That's just the class of this man! Archer bowls it on a hard length and on the sixth stump line. Virat Kohli stays put in his crease this time. He uses the little width given to him and guides it between backward point and short third again for the third boundary of the over.

Short of a length and on off, Virat Kohli dabs it towards covers for a single.

OUT! TAKEN! Shimron Hetmyer almost makes a mess of it but ends up taking a blinder. Jofra Archer comes around the wicket and lands this back of a length, around leg. Devdutt Padikkal tries to pick it up and whip it away but the ball hits him high on the bat. It goes miles up in the air towards deep backward square leg. Hetmyer runs a long way forward, but misjudges a bit. He has to put in a dive forward at the end, and he takes a fantastic catch. RCB are 45/2.

FOUR! Put away! Nandre Burger begins with a back-of-a-length delivery, outside off. Devdutt Padikkal accepts the width on offer and cuts it away through point for another boundary.

Short of a length and on middle, Devdutt Padikkal looks to pull but gets an inside edge towards mid-wicket for a single.

Play and a miss! Good-length delivery, on middle and leg, shaping away sharply. Virat Kohli plays well inside the line of it as the ball just sneaks past the outside edge.

FOUR! Lovely shot! Much fuller and on middle, shaping into the pads. Virat Kohli brings his wrists into play and flicks it away superbly to the deep backward square leg fence for a boundary.

FIVE WIDES! Bonus runs for RCB! Nandre Burger goes full again and spills it down the leg side, it keeps moving down leg after leaving the batter. Virat Kohli lets it go, and Dhruv Jurel dives to his left, gets a glove on it, but it is not enough as the ball goes to the fine leg fence for a boundary.

FOUR BYES! Oh...that beats everyone! This is on a hard length and just on middle, hits the deck and jags back in sharply. Virat Kohli gets cut in half and the ball goes past the inside edge. Once again, it shapes in late after going behind the stumps, and beats Jurel's dive to his left for another four runs. Virat sees the funny side of that exaggerated movement. Plenty of spice on this surface, so far. Well, the UltraEdge shows that the ball brushed the inside edge on its way to the keeper, but the umpire has given it as byes.

Tap and run! Across off, on a short of a length, Virat knocks it to the left of cover and takes a quick single. 19 runs off the over!

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That is an absolute rib-snorter from Jofra Archer. He wins the all-English battle and sends Phil Salt packing for a golden duck. Archer steams in and bangs this into the pitch hard, on middle, this one jags back in sharply, shooting off the deck as well. Salt is not expecting that and gets stuck in his crease while trying to keep it out. However, he fails to handle the extra bounce and takes his eyes off the ball. He also fails to drop his wrists in time. It takes the top edge and balloons behind, where the keeper, Dhruv Jurel moves back a bit and takes a dolly.

Beauty! Back of a length and around off, getting it to shape away. Devdutt Padikkal has a poke at it but gets beaten on the outside edge but the ball does not carry to the keeper.

EDGED AND FOUR! Jofra Archer hits the length hard and just around off, shaping away again. Devdutt Padikkal pushes at it with hard hands. Gets a thick outside edge but just wide of the diving second slip fielder and to the third man fence for a boundary.

FOUR! Much more in control! Short of a length and outside off this time. Devdutt Padikkal gets the chance to free his arms. He gets on his toes and slaps it over backward point. The third man fielder is quite fine and it goes for another boundary.

Hard length and around leg, Devdutt Padikkal nudges it off his hips through square leg for a single.

EDGED AND FOUR AGAIN! Jofra Archer almost gets Virat Kohli on the first ball too. He lands this on a good length and around off, moving it away with extra bounce again. Kohli has a feel for it but gets an outside edge wide of the keeper. Dhruv Jurel flings himself to his right but the ball evades him and races to the fence for four runs. There was no one at the conventional slip. Had there been one, it would have gone straight to him.
