14.5 to GJ Maxwell, All three stumps are rattled. That's one for the fast-bowlers' posters. Maxwell made room, had feet wide apart again and tried to heave it over midwicket. Hard-length ball did him for pace and direction. Bails fly all over the place. Burger does his signature celebration. 128/2 See all photos

13.6 to F du Plessis, Chahal has his man this time, keeps the line wide and has Faf fetching. Holed out to long-on. Buttler ran across to the left, held his balance and took it low. Faf tried to heave it across. The length was there but he danced down and Chahal went wider. Faf continued trying to break free, perishes in the process. His off-day might be a big issue for the day but might be a bigger worry big-picture wise. 125/1 17.2 to SD Chauhan, Taken on the second attempt by Jaiswal at cover. Chahal though, bowling slow at the death is bravery. Kept it away from the arc though, on a length and Chauhan reached out to try and cut it over the in-field. Got it off the bottom. Jaiswal's fumble was a non-issue as it popped up very close and right in front. 155/3 See all photos

Reece Topley	4	0	27	2	6.75	9	3	0	1	0
0.2 to YBK Jaiswal, gottim, Jaiswal goes for a duck. Takes a step out of his crease and Topley responds by digging the ball short outside off. Gets it to bounce awkwardly as Jaiswal looks to drag a pull from well outside his body, and ends up skewing a top-edge high in the air for Glenn Maxwell to get under at mid-off. Just the start RCB wanted. 0/1 16.3 to DC Jurel, given, and Jurel goes to the old strangle down the leg side. Length ball down the leg side, looks to flick it away, gets a nice, audible inside edge and DK does the rest. 164/4 See all photos
Yash Dayal	4	0	37	1	9.25	10	5	1	0	0
15.4 to R Parag, timed perfectly, and straight to the fielder. Back of a length, angling into off stump, flicked imperiously off the hip but straight into Kohli's hands at short midwicket. Catches it in front of his right shoulder with the reverse-cup. 155/3
Mohammed Siraj	4	0	35	1	8.75	5	3	1	1	0
14.4 to SV Samson, got him, Siraj ends the partnership with a well-directed short ball. Angles it in, gets it to bounce to shoulder height, cramps Samson for room. He takes on the hook, and it almost comes off, but Dayal takes the catch at deep backward square leg with his right foot an inch short of the boundary cushion. 148/2 See all photos
