3.0 - Harshal Patel to Uthappa, FOUR, that's much better from Uthappa, on a good length and well outside off, Uthappa leans into the shot and drives it over cover, a much needed boundary for KOL

1.5 - Aaron to Uthappa, FOUR, top-edge and four, lazy effort from Harshal at third man, this was banged in short and just outside off, Uthappa went for the pull, gets a top-edge towards third man. Harshal gets across to his left, is wary about putting in a dive, doesn't bend fully and allows a boundary

1.4 - Aaron to Uthappa, FOUR, lovely shot, on a good length and well outside off, Uthappa gets forward and thumps it past mid-off, no chance for the diving fielder (Kohli)

0.4 - Starc to Gambhir, FOUR, cracking shot, tad fuller and just outside off, Gambhir leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and drives it back past the non-striker for a boundary

9.0 - Harshal Patel to Y Pathan, SIX, that's smashed! Length ball from Patel, Pathan shuffles across and heaves it towards cow-corner. Kohli was the man in the deep, he leaps but can't get anything on that

8.1 - Harshal Patel to ten Doeschate, SIX, ten Doeschate joins the act, goes way outside off and heaves a full ball over square leg, sends it sailing over the ropes for a maximum

8.0 - Wiese to A Russell, SIX, Wiese misses his length and that ruins the over, length ball outside off, Russell gets underneath the ball and sends it high and over long-off for a maximum

5.2 - Aaron to A Russell, SIX, poor ball from Aaron, short and on the stumps, Russell swivels across and pulls it high and over mid-wicket for a maximum

9.1 - Starc to ten Doeschate, out Caught by de Villiers!! AB doesn't drop catches! This was full and on the stumps, ten Doeschate went for the flick, gets a good chunk of the bat but can't get the distance. AB settles underneath the skier at deep mid-wicket and takes it in front of the ropes. BLR are chipping away with some crucial strikes. ten Doeschate c de Villiers b Starc 12(7) [4s-1 6s-1]

8.4 - Harshal Patel to ten Doeschate, out A Russell Run Out!! That might make a difference of 15-20 runs for BLR. This was another slower ball bouncer from Patel, ten Doeschate was trying to pull but missed. Russell called him for a quick single. Karthik is alert and throws down the stumps at the striker's end, Russell was a couple of yards short. A Russell run out (D Karthik) 45(17) [4s-5 6s-3]

6.5 - Chahal to Uthappa, out Caught by D Karthik!! Handy wicket for BLR! This was tossed up and on the off-stump line, Uthappa went for the big slog-sweep, the ball bounced a tad on him, he gets a steepling top-edge. The ball went high and towards short mid-wicket. Karthik went for the catch, so did Chahal. The keeper calls for it and takes the chance. Uthappa c D Karthik b Chahal 23(21) [4s-3]

3.5 - Wiese to Gambhir, out Caught by Mandeep!! A beauty from Mandeep at point! Gambhir was looking dangerous but has to go. Wiese kept it full and outside off, Gambhir was looking to go over point, reaches out for the ball and slices it in the air. Mandeep times his leap superbly and holds onto a one-handed catch. BLR have struck through Wiese. Gambhir c Mandeep b Wiese 12(8) [4s-2]

5.1 - Aaron to Uthappa, 1 run, Kohli has dropped one now, this was banged in short and on the stumps, Uthappa made room and whacked it to the right of long-on. Kohli ran across to his right, but the ball hit him on the wrists and popped out

3.2 - Wiese to Uthappa, 1 run, that's an excellent stop from DK, but he misses a run-out, on a good length and just outside off, Uthappa swung hard and got an inside edge. Karthik dives across to his left and stops the ball, Gambhir wanted a single, Uthappa was late to get going, a direct hit at the bowler's end would have had him

0.2 - Starc to Uthappa, no run, on a good length and a hint of shape back into Uthappa, he pushed it in front of cover. Gambhir set off for a quick single and is sent back, a direct hit from Kohli might have had him in trouble

9.0 - U Yadav to Mandeep, FOUR, outside edge and four! Handy runs for BLR. Good length delivery outside off stump, Mandeep steps out and swings hard, gets a thick edge and it flies away fine to the third man boundary

8.5 - U Yadav to Mandeep, FOUR, innovative but effective. Full and on the off stump, Mandeep gets down on one knee and scoops it over short fine leg, Cummins runs to his right from deep backward square leg but couldn't get there in time

6.4 - Chawla to Mandeep, FOUR, short and on the leg stump, Mandeep pulls it hard over mid-wicket and the fielders in the deep had no chance. This is turning out to be a great over for BLR

6.2 - Chawla to Mandeep, FOUR, excellent shot from Mandeep. He had to reach out a long way, this one was short and spinning away outside off stump, but Mandeep did well to loft it inside-out over extra-cover

2.1 - P Cummins to Kohli, FOUR, friendly full toss, Cummins missed the yorker by some distance, Kohli glances it fine and fine leg was inside the ring. Kohli looks at the square leg umpire to check if it was above waist height, but it was a legal delivery

1.2 - U Yadav to Kohli, FOUR, short and on the leg stump, Kohli pulls it to deep backward square leg, that was hit very well and it rocketed to the boundary. Great first two balls for BLR

9.4 - A Russell to Mandeep, SIX, that's it! This is BLR's first win at home in 5 games. The crowd is ecstatic. Short ball on the leg stump, Mandeep waits on the back foot and pulls it flat over backward square leg, the fielder in the deep jumps but the ball escapes

9.3 - A Russell to Mandeep, SIX, Mandeep Singh you beauty! What a shot under pressure. Russell is down on his knees. Can't believe that it's gone all the way. Full and outside off stump, Mandeep reaches out and slices it all the way over backward point

7.0 - Chawla to Kohli, SIX, top shot to round off the over. Flighted delivery on the leg stump, Kohli advances and lofts it straight back over the bowler's head and it goes all the way. 18 runs off the over

6.0 - B Hogg to Mandeep, SIX, flighted delivery on the off stump, Mandeep gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps it flat over the deep mid-wicket boundary. That ball just cleared the rope

3.3 - B Hogg to Gayle, SIX, too short and it's gone deep into the stands. Not the right length from Hogg, bowls the normal leggie, but Gayle had enough time to rock back and nail the pull over the deep mid-wicket boundary

3.1 - B Hogg to Gayle, SIX, Hogg misses the length, flighted delivery on the stumps, it's very full and goes in the slot for Gayle, who gets down on one knee and sweeps it way over deep square leg. The other day, Hogg got a wicket first ball, but today he's been smacked for six

2.4 - P Cummins to Kohli, SIX, this is a top shot from Kohli. Cummins follows Kohli with a slower ball as he makes room, Kohli flicks it with a strong bottom hand grip and it sails over the wide long-on boundary

2.0 - U Yadav to Gayle, SIX, thank you very much Umesh Yadav, says Gayle and desposits him way back over the long-off boundary. Dreadful over from Yadav. Can't bowl full and in the slot, Gayle takes his front leg out of the way and muscles it into the top tier

1.1 - U Yadav to Kohli, SIX, not a great start for Umesh. Full and outside off stump, in the slot, Kohli waits for the ball and smashes it back over the bowler's head for a maximum

7.2 - A Russell to Kohli, out Caught by Suryakumar Yadav!! Russell does it for KOL. Full and on the leg stump, looked like the slower ball, Kohli mistimes the loft and long-on takes an easy catch. Big wicket for KOL as Kohli was looking very good. Russell had a great time with the bat and he's got a wicket now. Kohli c Suryakumar Yadav b A Russell 34(20) [4s-2 6s-3]

4.4 - Chawla to de Villiers, out Bowled!! Wow! KOL are on top now. AB de Villiers can't believe that he's chopped this on. Chawla bowls the quicker ball, de Villiers was late on the cut shot and gets an inside edge, the ball hits the boot and goes back onto the off stump. So, after a great start, BLR have lost two big wickets in quick succession. Chawla goes on a run. de Villiers b Chawla 2(4)

3.5 - B Hogg to Gayle, out Caught by A Russell!! This is a big wicket for KOL. Flighted delivery outside off stump, Gayle gets down on one knee and looks to send it over long-on, but he hits it flat, Russell runs to his right from long-on and takes an excellent catch running to his right. Hogg is a delighted man now. Gayle c A Russell b B Hogg 21(9) [6s-3]
