Prasidh Krishna	4	0	42	1	10.50	5	0	0
12.2 to AJ Finch, Krishna comes back with a perfect yorker. Bowled with a scrambled seam, 137ks, Finch is backing away, and the ball tails in a little and squeezes under his bat to knock back the middle stump. 94/2
Andre Russell	4	0	51	1	12.75	7	3	1
7.4 to D Padikkal, Russell says I will do it all myself. The stumps are splayed all over the place. Cross seam, full, straight. Padikkal makes room, swings and misses. 67/1

Bowling	O	M	R	W	ECON	0s	WD	NB
Chris Morris	4	0	17	2	4.25	10	0	0
14.5 to PJ Cummins, and now the catches are sticking too. Slower ball, Cummins looks to go over long-off, but toe-ends it for a sitter to Padikkal. 89/7 18.6 to KL Nagarkoti, timber. Nagarkoti looks for the big swing to an on-pace full ball, but it tails back in to take the inside edge onto the wicket. 108/9
Navdeep Saini	3	0	17	1	5.66	8	3	0
3.6 to T Banton, unconvincing innings from Banton comes to an end. Tripathi must be wondering why he was dropped down the order. No risks taken. And he is bowled off the inside edge to a really quick delivery. At 148ks, short of a length, nipping in slightly, and Banton is done in. 23/1
Mohammed Siraj	3	0	24	1	8.00	9	0	0
16.6 to RA Tripathi, sensational catch by Morris. Tripathi gets no power in this pull, and Morris charges in from long-on. This has hardly gone past the 30-yard circle, but Morris makes the ground and dives to actually make it look relatively easy. 99/8
Washington Sundar	4	0	20	2	5.00	8	0	0
7.6 to N Rana, and the slog-sweep gets him. He tries for the big six, and Sundar fires a quick length ball in. He is beaten, and his middle stumps is knocked back. 51/2 11.1 to EJG Morgan, make it three wickets. Sundar bowls short of a length, Morgan tries to make pace and go inside-out, but all he manages is a top edge to short third man. 64/5
Yuzvendra Chahal	4	0	12	1	3.00	13	0	0
10.3 to KD Karthik, played on. Chahal teases him with a wide slow legbreak. Karthik is caught in two minds, eventually tries a late cover-drive, and the ball doesn't turn, and the inside edge crashes into the stumps. 62/4
Isuru Udana	2	0	19	1	9.50	4	0	0
13.5 to AD Russell, Udana gets his own back. Game over. RCB are relieved although this didn't even get to threatening proportions, but they have been at the wrong end of this before. Udana goes full and wide, away from the wheelhouse, and all Russell manages is a catch to extra cover. 85/6
