Royal Challengers Bengaluru v Chennai Super King

Jacob Bethell and Kohli are at the crease.

Jacob Bethell is on strike.

Khaleel Ahmed will open the attack

0.5
Khaleel Ahmed to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, hat-trick of fours. Khaleel goes searching for swing and pitches it up, but there isn't any this time, Bethell leans forward and creams the drive square of the wicket

0.4
Khaleel Ahmed to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, back to back fours. This is deft touch. Short of length delivery close to off, Bethell rides the bounce and steers it to third man, Pathirana moves to his right and dives but does not make the stop
0.3
Khaleel Ahmed to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, Bethell is off and running. Half tracker and plenty of width outside off, Bethell does not miss out, goes full throttle on the cut and pierces a packed off-side field

2.2
Khaleel Ahmed to Jacob Bethell, SIX, hammered! Short of length delivery and Bethell has picked the bones out of that, he gets into position quickly and nails the pull all the way over deep mid-wicket

2.6
Khaleel Ahmed to Kohli, SIX, massive over, 19 runs. This is a poor delivery and deserved the treatment. Khaleel makes the mistake of drifting onto Kohli's pads,
2.5
Khaleel Ahmed to Kohli, SIX, second six in the over. Once again it is the short of length delivery that has disappeared into the crowd. But Khaleel is a tad unlucky here. He got the ball to climb on Kohli and found the top-edge but the ground is so small that the ball ended up in the second tier

3.1
Anshul Kamboj to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, lovely shot! Classical stuff from Bethell. Not a bad delivery from Kamboj. Fullish delivery on off,

3.5
Anshul Kamboj to Jacob Bethell, 1 run, oh no! There's a collision and a catch goes down. Pathirana is stil down on the ground. Back of a length and angled across, Bethell looks to hack it into the leg-side and gets a top-edge over short third. Jadeja runs back and takes the catch but Pathirana comes running in from deep backward point and collides into Jadeja which makes the ball pop out. Jadeja called for it, took it and had it in his hand for a second but Pathirana didn't hear the call and came charging in

The physio is out there checking on Pathirana. Jadeja even suggests that it is a small scratch. But Pathirana is walking off the field. Hopefully it is not serious

3.6
Anshul Kamboj to Kohli, FOUR, shot! Back of a length delivery but this had a bit of width on it, Kohli stays back and gets on top of the bounce, punches it in front of square and ends the over with a boundary

4.4
Noor Ahmad to Jacob Bethell, SIX, to deep mid-wicket
4.3
Noor Ahmad to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, not off the middle but the ball races away. This was the googly and not sure Bethell picked it, he went for the big slog sweep and ended up dragging it off the inner half through mid-wicket

4.6
Noor Ahmad to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, that's a gift and Bethell cashes in. Juicy full toss outside off, Bethell just needed to pick his spot and he chooses extra cover - slaps it hard into the gap and the ball races away

RCB 66/0 (5.1) CRR: 12.77

Jacob Bethell 42(23)
Virat Kohli 18(7

5.2
Anshul Kamboj to Kohli, FOUR, to long-on
5.1
Anshul Kamboj to Kohli, SIX, third six for Kohli. He's dealing in sixes today. Kamboj makes the same mistake as Khaleel - strays onto Kohli's pads and gets picked off, whipped in front of square and the ball just clears the rope

RCB 71/0 (6) CRR: 11.83

Virat Kohli 29(13)
Jacob Bethell 42(23

7.1
Sam Curran to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, neatly done! Short and outside off, Bethell does not go hard on the cut, he waits for the ball to arrive and places the shot behind square on the off-side. No chance for the sweeper..

7.5
Sam Curran to Kohli, SIX, Curran became predictable there.

9.5
Pathirana to Jacob Bethell, out Caught by Brevis!! Brevis pulls out a stunner. The partnership is broken and CSK have their much needed breakthrough. Short of length delivery angled across, Bethell fetches the pull and gets a top-edge, the ball skies over square leg and seemed to be landing safely but Brevis charges in, dives forward and takes it inches from the ground. Just the kind of effort which lifts the fielding team.

Jacob Bethell c Brevis b Pathirana 55(33) [4s-8 6s-2]

10.6
Jadeja to Kohli, FOUR, goes up and over extra cover! Full ball at the stumps, Kohli backs away, makes room and executes the lofted drive to perfection. What stunning form he's in!

11.2
Sam Curran to Kohli, FOUR, misfield and four! Hooda isn't doing much right in this tournament. Full around off, Kohli gives a premeditated charge, gets close to the pitch and drills it down the ground. Hooda gets to it with a sliding effort but fails to cut it off

11.5
Sam Curran to Kohli, out Caught by Khaleel Ahmed!!

Kohli c Khaleel Ahmed b Sam Curran 62(33) [4s-5 6s-5]

RCB 121/2 (11.5) CRR: 10.23

15.6
Pathirana to Jitesh Sharma, wide, short outside off, it's too high and Jitesh lets it go

RCB 151/3 (16) CRR: 9.44

Jitesh Sharma 5(4)
Rajat Patidar 10(11

16.5
Noor Ahmad to Jitesh Sharma, out Caught by Brevis!! Gone! CSK pulling things back nicely through this phase. Flat outside off, googly, Jitesh looks to pull but miscues it off the toe-end. Curran takes the catch running across from long-on and passes it to Brevis before going over the ropes.

Jitesh Sharma c Brevis b Noor Ahmad 7( [4s-1]
