Thakur to Nehal Wadhera, SIX, and he repeats the dose! Back of a length, can't fault the delivery too much from Thakur but Wadhera dismisses it from his presence. Another glorious pull shot for six!
15.3

Gujarat Titans have won the toss and have opted to field

0.1
Siraj to Phil Salt, 1 run, almost a wicket first ball!

0.2
Siraj to Kohli, FOUR, here goes Kohli! A majestic cover drive on the up off a delivery that landed on a good length outside off. Siraj didn't do much wrong but Kohli was just too good

0.5
Siraj to Phil Salt, no run, Buttler has dropped a regulation chance! Short of length around off, Salt gives the charge looking to slap it through the off-side but is cramped for room. It takes the edge and goes through to Buttler who barely even gets a glove on it. Did that swerve late on him? Gill and Siraj were celebrating even before the ball had reached the keeper only for him to spill it

1.1
Arshad Khan to Kohli, 2 runs, full delivery on middle and leg,

1.4
Arshad Khan to Kohli, out Caught by Prasidh!! Arshad raises his arms and looks to the heavens as he gets the big wicket of Kohli. The crowd is silenced early. Short of length at the body, Kohli seems to be slightly cramped on the pull and doesn't keep it down. He picks out the fielder at deep backward square who makes no mistake. Early strike for GT.

Kohli c Prasidh b Arshad Khan 7(6) [4s-1]

1.5
Arshad Khan to Padikkal, FOUR, misfield and four! Fuller than a good length outside off, hint of movement away, Padikkal goes after it and drives crisply through the off-side. Should've been cut off at point but the fielder fails to do so after diving to his left

2.2
Siraj to Padikkal, out Bowled!! The off stump is pegged back and Siraj leaps in the air to unleash the SIuuu! He's in excellent rhythm here.

Padikkal b Siraj 4(3) [4s-1]

4.3
Siraj to Phil Salt, SIX, out of the stadium! That's gigantic from Salt as he meets fire with fire!

4.4
Siraj to Phil Salt, out Bowled!! Siraj has the last laugh in this contest as he makes a mess of the stumps! Full and fast at 144kph, Salt gives the charge once more but he's beaten for pace this time. Before his bat can come down, the ball bursts through and smashes off and middle.

Phil Salt b Siraj 14(13) [4s-1 6s-1]

6.2
Ishant to Rajat Patidar, out Lbw!!

Rajat Patidar lbw b Ishant 12(12) [4s-2]

RCB 42/4 (6.2) CRR: 6.63

6.6
Ishant to Jitesh Sharma, 2 runs, short of length outside off, Jitesh allows the ball to come to him and punches it late past backward point. He gets back for two as third man cuts it off
6.5
Ishant to Jitesh Sharma, FOUR, nicely played! Dug in short at the body, he swivels across, keeps his eyes on it and pulls it to the fine leg boundary

8.6
Ishant to Jitesh Sharma, FOUR, to deep backward point
8.4
Ishant to Jitesh Sharma, FOUR, to deep backward point
8.3
Ishant to Jitesh Sharma, 2 runs, again goes for the big shot but drags this off the inside half through midwicket! Fuller than a good length outside off, Jitesh looks to slog but doesn't get hold of it. Still gets a couple of runs
8.2
Ishant to Jitesh Sharma, SIX, wow he's smashed this down the ground! Full delivery at the stumps, he swings through the line and clears the long-on boundary comfortably

RCB 66/4 (9) CRR: 7.33

Jitesh Sharma 22(14)
Liam Livingstone 2(6)

10.6
Sai Kishore to Jitesh Sharma, FOUR, Jitesh rubs salt into the wounds as he smashes the next ball for four! Overpitched around off, Jitesh backs away and drills it over extra cover
10.5
Sai Kishore to Livingstone, 1 run, dropped by Tewatia! Oh this was in the air for an eternity! Livingstone dances down, doesn't get anywhere near the pitch of it but still tries going through with the lofted shot. His bottom hand comes off as he's through the shot way too early. It goes a mile in the air and Tewatia has to wait a long time at the long-on boundary as he settles under it. Should've been taken!

11.3
Rashid Khan to Livingstone, SIX, to deep mid-wicket

11.6
Rashid Khan to Jitesh Sharma, FOUR, looks like they have decided to step on the gas. Jitesh too sits down,

RCB 91/4 (12) CRR: 7.58

Jitesh Sharma 32(19)
Liam Livingstone 17(19

12.4
Sai Kishore to Jitesh Sharma, out Caught by Rahul Tewatia!! Tewatia hangs onto it this time! Excellent stuff from Sai Kishore who continues to impress in this tournament. 89kph, slows it up and turns it away from off, helped by the new angle from over the wicket. Jitesh shimmies down but fails to get anywhere close to the pitch of it. He toe-ends it in the air and Tewatia gets across from long-on to take it comfortably.

itesh Sharma c Rahul Tewatia b Sai Kishore 33(21) [4s-5 6s-1]

13.2
Rashid Khan to Livingstone, no run, stumping missed? Yes. Buttler is having a shocker behind the stumps. Flighted outside off, Livingstone moves across and plays all round this, the ball dips and sneaks under his bat, the back leg is dragged out of the crease but Buttler does not collect the ball cleanly, allowing Livingstone to get back in

13.6
Rashid Khan to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, very full outside leg, Krunal sweeps it fine and gets it to the boundary. Another expensive over from Rashid

14.2
Sai Kishore to Krunal Pandya, out Caught&Bowled!!

Krunal Pandya c and b Sai Kishore 5(5) [4s-1]

RCB 104/6 (14.2) CRR: 7.26

17.6
Rashid Khan to Livingstone, SIX, fifty for Livingstone. He has held this RCB innings together. Came in at a tough situation, struggled early on and now is in his elements. Can he take RCB to a par total?
17.5
Rashid Khan to Livingstone, SIX, that's huge. Livingstone has come out with a gameplan against Rashid today and is executing it. He once again moves across his stumps, gets under the flighted delivery and smokes it over deep square leg

17.2
Rashid Khan to Livingstone, SIX, through Sai Kishore. He misjudged that. Livingstone crouches low and converts it into a low full toss, swipes it towards deep backward square and Sai comes in, tries to take it over his head but the ball goes through them. That was struck hard and flat and Sai needed to stay on the rope
