19.0 - D Kulkarni to Sarfaraz Khan, FOUR, boundary to end the over, 13 runs off it. A full toss on off, Sarfaraz shuffles across, goes down on one knee and scoops it fine, the fielder tries to get across, but the ball wins the race

18.3 - D Kulkarni to Wiese, FOUR, repeats the previous delivery, but this time Wiese was not letting it go, he reaches for it and slices it to square third man, Hooda dives to his right, but the ball beats him with ease. This was wider than the last ball, would have been called a wide

18.1 - D Kulkarni to Wiese, FOUR, Kulkarni misses the yorker length by an inch or so, Wiese gets forward and drives it to the right of mid-off, it came right off the meat as the ball races away to the fence

17.5 - Tambe to Sarfaraz Khan, FOUR, Sarfaraz is turning it on at the Chinnaswamy. Floated up around off, he makes a bit of room and goes inside out, lofts it beautifully over extra cover, the long-off fielder dives to his left but the ball wins the race

17.1 - Tambe to Sarfaraz Khan, FOUR, bad delivery from Tambe, short and on leg-stump, Sarfaraz walks across his stumps, kneels down and sweeps it to the left of short fine leg, no chance for the fielder in the deep

16.2 - Watson to Sarfaraz Khan, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Sarfaraz. He is improvising superbly. Watson bangs it short just outside off, Sarfaraz opens the bat face and ramps it fine. Third man was pushed square, so that was a safe shot

16.1 - Watson to Sarfaraz Khan, FOUR, fullish and just outside off, Sarfaraz stays leg-side of the ball and slices it behind point, the fielder at third man had no chance of stopping that

16.0 - Faulkner to D Karthik, FOUR, nice way to finish the over. Faulkner drags it short as Karthik advances down the wicket, Karthik still manages to pull it wide of mid-wicket, it was in the air but wide of Hooda

15.4 - Faulkner to Sarfaraz Khan, FOUR, poor delivery, short and on off, Sarfaraz backs away and manufactures the width, he cuts it over backward point, third man had no chance as the ball races away to the fence

13.4 - Binny to D Karthik, FOUR, repeat of the previous ball. Karthik is getting into his own. This was a much fuller delivery, but DK goes down on one knee and sweeps it over backward square leg, almost went the distance

13.3 - Binny to D Karthik, FOUR, cheeky! Karthik improvises brilliantly. On a length just outside off, Karthik walks across, kneels down and paddles it over short fine leg, the ball bounces just once before reaching the fence

10.3 - D Kulkarni to Mandeep, FOUR, bad delivery from Kulkarni and it deserved the treatment. Banged in halfway down the wicket, not much venom in that, Mandeep rocks back and pulls it behind square, one bounce and into the fence

9.1 - Binny to Mandeep, FOUR, the edges are flying! Binny followed Mandeep with a low full toss, he looks to flick and gets a thick outside edge, the ball goes behind square on the off-side and beats Faulkner, running across from third man

8.2 - Watson to de Villiers, FOUR, top-edge and four, this was banged in short and on the stumps, AB was taken by surprise, looks to pull and gets a fat top-edge, over the keeper and into the fence

4.4 - Faulkner to de Villiers, FOUR, AB gets his sixth four now, this was a tad lucky, pitched up and just outside off, AB chipped it uppishly and to the left of the bowler, pretty safe in the end though, the ball races away to the fence

4.3 - Faulkner to de Villiers, FOUR, 5th boundary for AB, all his runs have come from fours, length ball and on AB's pads, tucked away behind square on the on-side for another boundary

3.2 - D Kulkarni to de Villiers, FOUR, edged and four, this was full and shapes away late, AB was back in his crease, looks to drive and gets a thick edge through second slip. Tambe gets across from third man, puts in the dive but can't stop the ball

2.3 - Southee to Mandeep, FOUR, cracking shot, nice way to get going, this was overpitched and well outside off, Mandeep leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and strokes it past extra cover for a boundary

2.0 - D Kulkarni to de Villiers, byes, FOUR, that's an excellent delivery from Kulkarni, but it costs his team four runs, he saw AB giving the charge, banged it short and just outside off, AB sways away from the line, Samson leaps in vain, the ball races away to the fence

1.3 - D Kulkarni to de Villiers, FOUR, cracking shot, width on offer from Kulkarni, too short and too wide from Kulkarni, AB stands tall and punches it square on the off-side, beats cover and races away to the fence

0.2 - Southee to Gayle, FOUR, lovely shot, another low full toss from Southee, Gayle leans forward and drives it past cover-point, no need to run for those, the ball races away to the fence for a boundary

19.1 - Southee to Harshal Patel, SIX, Harshal starts the last over with a six. Southee bangs it short and just outside off, Harshal fetches it from there and pulls it to deep mid-wicket. He got plenty of elevation and the distance

17.2 - Tambe to Sarfaraz Khan, SIX, fabulous shot! He is a fearless young man. Flighted delivery just outside off, Sarfaraz takes a step down the wicket and lofts it handsomely, clears long-off by some distance

13.1 - Binny to D Karthik, SIX, lovely shot! Full delivery in the slot for Karthik, he plants his front foot forward and hits through the line, lofts it over mid-off and the ball has enough to clear the rope. Nice start to the over

11.4 - Binny to de Villiers, SIX, ABD gets his first fifty this season. He gets there in style. The whole BLR team are on their feet in the dugout. That was a real hit-me-delivery from Binny, short and just outside off, de Villiers stands tall and smacks it all the way over deep mid-wicket

0.3 - Southee to Gayle, SIX, 500th six in T20 cricket, show of intent from Gayle, this was pitched up and held its line outside off, Gayle gets forward and swings through the line, clears long-off with ease, the first six of the innings

20.0 - Southee to Sarfaraz Khan, out Harshal Patel Run Out!! 1 run completed. Harshal has been run-out for the team's cause. Full delivery around off, it was almost yorker length, Sarfaraz toe-ends it straight down the ground, he was content with one, but Harshal was coming back for the second, Rahane runs to his right from mid-off and throws it to Samson, who has his another dismissal to his name. Sarfaraz walks off to an ovation from the BLR players. Harshal Patel run out (Rahane/Samson) 6(2) [6s-1]

18.5 - D Kulkarni to Wiese, out Caught by Southee!! Wiese perishes trying to go for some quick runs. This was the slower one from Kulkarni, it was on a length and in the slot, Wiese couldn't get it off the middle, he goes for the hoick and hits it to deep mid-wicket, Southee runs forward and takes a good low catch. Wiese c Southee b D Kulkarni 11(8) [4s-2]

16.3 - Watson to Sarfaraz Khan, no ball, out D Karthik Run Out!! 1 run completed. Another needless run-out for BLR. It was a full toss on the pads, Sarfaraz flicks it to deep mid-wicket, he wanted only a single as Karthik would have been on strike for the free-hit, but the wicket-keeper was charging down for the second before being sent back, Southee throws it on the bounce to Samson, who does the rest. Karthik dived in vain. D Karthik run out (Southee/Samson) 27(18) [4s-3 6s-1]

13.5 - Binny to D Karthik, out de Villiers Run Out!! ABD has been run-out. A wasted wicket for BLR. Karthik is distraught with himself, he slams the bat onto the ground as soon as he sees ABD short of the crease. Full delivery on the stumps, Karthik flicks it to mid-wicket, he wanted the run, but ABD was not ready, he sets off late and puts in the dive, but is well short. Hooda kept his cool and threw the ball to Samson, who did the rest. Huge moment in this game and it can make a difference to the final outcome. de Villiers run out (Deepak Hooda/Samson) 57(45) [4s-9 6s-1]

11.1 - Binny to Mandeep, out Lbw!! Binny breaks the partnership. RAJ needed that wicket. Mandeep goes after playing a good innings. This was full and on off, he shuffles across and looks to paddle, misses and is struck on the back leg. The impact was on off and the ball would have crashed into the stumps. The umpire took his time but made the decision in favour of RAJ. Replays show that Mandeep was hit around off. It was a 50-50 call and it went towards the visitors. Mandeep lbw b Binny 27(20) [4s-4]

2.2 - Southee to Kohli, out Caught by Samson!! Edged and caught! Southee is on a roll, this is exceptional cricket from RAJ. This was pushed wider outside off and gets it to shape away, draws Kohli into the drive, the edge is found, Samson dives across to his right and completes the catch. Double blow for BLR, Kohli fails for once. Kohli c Samson b Southee 1(4)

0.4 - Southee to Gayle, out Caught by Deepak Hooda!! Big blow for BLR! This was pitched up and held its line outside off, Gayle swung through the line, doesn't get hold of the shot and ends up dragging it towards mid-wicket, Hooda doesn't drop those, that's an aboslute sitter, RAJ camp are gleeful. The umpires check for a possible no-ball, but the bowler is fine. Gayle c Deepak Hooda b Southee 10(4) [4s-1 6s-1]

8.0 - Binny to Mandeep, 1 run, short and just outside off, Mandeep waits on it, opens the face of the bat and runs it down towards third man for a single, just two runs from the first over off Binny
