Rasikh Salam Dar to Aiden Markram, out Caught by Devdutt Padikkal!! What a way to get out, it was a full-toss outside leg stump, slower one, Markram was looking to flick it through the leg side, but the bat face closed and he ended up getting a leading edge to cover, Dar strikes in his first over.

Josh Hazlewood to Nicholas Pooran, out Bowled!! Hazlewood has struck, finally he's been awarded as he was very accurate so far, back of a length and outside off, Pooran shapes into pull, but the extra pace outfoxed Pooran as he edges it back onto the stumps, RCB all over LSG at the moment.

Krunal Pandya to Mitchell Marsh, out Bowled!! He's found the timber, the quicker one wide outside off, Marsh was hanging back in the crease and goes for the cut shot far away from the body and only manages to edge it back onto the stumps, the pace and the angle did him in.

WKrunal Pandya to Abdul Samad, out Caught by Rajat Patidar!! A soft dismissal, the slowness of the wicket foxed him, slower through the air and on the pads, Samad was looking to work it through the leg side, but got beaten by the slow pace and ends up getting a leading edge to cover.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Rishabh Pant, out Caught by Phil Salt!! That's a magnificent catch in the deep and it's Phil Salt -a low full-toss outside off and Pant brought his wrists into play on the whip over mid-wicket. Salt runs in from the deep, the ball was always dying onto him, but he slides full stretch and gets both hands under it, scoops it up and ensures that it didn't pop out when his hands hit the ground.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to George Linde, out Caught by Tim David!! A second wicket for Bhuvneshwar, but this is another fine running catch, this time by Tim David. Short andf into the wicket, the width is there and Linde throws his hands on the cut, hit high on the bat and the ball lobs over backward point. David runs a long way back, keeps his eyes on the ball and then completes a fine catch over his right shoulder. He enjoyed it as well and he's chuffed to bits.

Rasikh Salam Dar to Avesh Khan, out Bowled!! Rasikh has four and LSG have been bowled out for 146. Keeps it full and keeps it straight, Avesh shuffles across on the lap, was looking to go over short fine and missed it completely - the ball crashes into the off-stump and the zing bails go flying once again.

Prince Yadav to Phil Salt, out Bowled!! There's the early wicket that LSG badly needed - short of a good length and around the off-stump channel, Salt shuffled across and was then looking to pull it over backward square leg, but the ball skids through and beats him for pace. The off-stump is knocked out once again and RCB have lost an early wicket.

Mohammed Shami to Virat Kohli, FOUR, lovely, on a good length and well wide of off - Kohli stands tall and then punches it through the line, high and over cover for a boundary

2.2

Mohammed Shami to Virat Kohli, FOUR, short of a good length and at the stumps - Kohli brings his wrists into play and then whips it past square leg. Linde runs across to his left in the deep, slides and lets the ball go through

2.1

Mohammed Shami to Virat Kohli, leg byes, FOUR, too short and too straight from Shami, on the hips and Kohli helps it on its way with an inside edge on the flick, given as leg-byes, so must've come off his hips

Mohammed Shami to Virat Kohli, FOUR, to fine leg
