Another short delivery, on off, Rajat Patidar pulls it to deep mid-wicket for one. 

 SIX! PUNISHED! Short of a length, on top of middle. Rajat Patidar arches back, tranfers the weight on the back foot and nails the pull shot behind deep mid-wicket for a flat six.

Around off, on a length, Rajat dabs it late to deep third and crosses over for a single.

Full and outside off, angling away. Krunal forces the drive through extra cover for a run.

Hits the hard length, on top of off, at 132.5 kph. Rajat hangs back and stabs it wide of backward point for a single.

From around the stump now. Closer to the bodyline, on off, on a length. Pandya hops to ride the bounce and eases it to backward point.

 FOUR! Puts it away! A rare loosener tonight by Holder. Sprays it onto the pads, full in length. Pandya's head falls over, but he manages to whip it between short fine leg and square leg for a boundary. 13 runs off the over. But end of a superb spell from Holder. 4-0-39-2 for him.

Krishna starts with a hard-length delivery, outside off. Patidar presses back, lets the ball cut into him and then dabs it late in front of backward point for a single.

Short of a length, at 130.5 kph, across the batter. Krunal advances a bit and slashes it over point. Kagiso Rabada moves a bit to his right in the deep. Stops the ball, but since his momentum is taking him beyond the ropes, he manages to flick the ball into the playing area. Just a single.

Oh, well bowled! Hits the hard length and gets the ball to jag back in and it almost dies on the batter. Rajat swings for the pull shot, but is beaten by the lack of bounce. Jos Buttler gets a bat bounce and parries it away to the right. They cross for a bye.

And again! Length ball, outside off. Krunal swivels to pull, but gets beaten all ends up as the ball goes underground once again after landing on one of those cracks.

 FOUR! Up and over! Krishna errs in line this time, as this is a juicy half-volley, on off, angling in from around the stump. Krunal Pandya chips it over Gill at mid off and the ball beats the GT skipper's chase.

 SIX! How has he played that? This is banged short and angled into the batter. Krunal Pandya shuffles a long way across to help it behind, gets nearly undone by the uneven bounce, but still manages to scoop it over the keeper's head for a six.

Starts off with a length ball, on off. Rajat Patidar looks to smoke it downtown, but hits it off the toe end and it barely breaches the inner ring. The mid off fielder moves to his right and the batters take a single.

Good channel! In and around the off pole, on a length, jagging back in. Krunal Pandya covers the stumps and tries to guide it behind on the off side, but gets beaten on the outside edge by a whisker.

Nearly chopped on! Slanted into the batter, shade fuller in length. Krunal Pandya backs away to hit it inside out over cover, but gets a massive inside edge onto the pads and the ball rolls on the pitch.

 Beaten by bounce again! Just outside off, on a good length and stays considerably low to beat Krunal's attempted pull shot across the line. Sneaks below the inside edge and bounces back to the keeper.

In-angler on a back of a length. Krunal stays back and pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a run. It's been a fantastic over so far from Kulwant. Can he finish it off well?

Yes, he can! Just three singles from it. Over the stump, full and on off. Rajat Patidar clears the front leg to heave it over mid-wicket. Only manages an inside edge and the ball is squirted past backward square leg for a single.

Straight up, but lands safe! In fact, put down in the deep. Just for a moment, it looked like Buttler and Kulwant were about to collide into each other. Fuller on the off stump, angling back in sharply. Patidar clears the front leg and swings hard across the line, but gets a thick top edge that spirals high behind the keeper. Kulwant Khejroliya is charging in from deep third to his left and flings himself full length, but the ball just eludes his fingertips. Buttler also tracks it from behind the stumps, closes in, but cannot quite get there either. Two taken.

 FOUR! Nicely played! Too short from Prasidh, the off cutter on top of middle. Rajat Patidar waits and with no intentions to keep it down the ground, he goes for the pull shot. Gets a big top edge, but the ball flies over short fine leg for a boundary.

 DROPPED! Kagiso Rabada is the guilty party and this was a much simpler chance than the previous one. Short and wide outside off. Patidar rocks back and pulls hard and flat. Rabada charges in from deep backward square, dives forward and gets both hands to it but cannot hold on. Chance down again and Gill cannot quite believe it. Patidar gets another lifeline. One taken.

 FOUR! Top shot! A low full toss, around off. Krunal Pandya opens the bat face at the point of contact and neatly slices it through the narrow gap between short third and backward point. The two fielders there are at almost an arm's distance, but the ball bisects them both and runs to the fence.

Length ball, outside off, dabbed off the back foot, but straight to short third.

Short in length, on top of middle and leg. Krunal Pandya arches back and plays the tennis forehand shot straight back at the bowler. The ball deflects off Krishna's right shin and rolls down the ground for a single.

Overpitched, on off, with pace taken off by Khejroliya. Krunal smashes it to long off's right for a single.

Tries the yorker, but it comes out as a low full toss, on middle. Patidar gets his front leg out of the way and heaves it off the inner half of the bat to deep mid-wicket for an easy single.

 FOUR! Into the gap! A high full toss, almost above the waist, on off. Krunal Pandya hops to deal with it and guides it between the backward point and short third fielders to pick up a boundary. The on-field umpires are checking whether it is above waist height and in fact, RCB have gone upstairs for a review. The Ball Tracking comes up with a side on angle. Krunal's waist measures 0.957 meters, but the ball comes at a height of 1.151 meters. So it is well above the waist and it is a No Ball. Free Hit coming up.

WIDE! Misses the radar completely and sprays it far outside off, breaching the tramline. Krunal throws the kitchen sink at it to smash cut it behind point, but misses. Wide given.

 FOUR! Misfield. A schoolboy error by Nishant Sindhu and the misfields are bleeding across GT's players now. Gill is not happy with that at all, and understandably so. Short and fairly outside off. Patidar clears the front leg and cuts hard on the bounce to Sindhu at deep point. Nishant gets behind it, gets his hands on it, but cannot hold on as the ball spins past him into the fence.

NO BALL! Well bowled, but Kulwant has overstepped this time. A yorker on the stumps, Krunal Pandya carves it wide of mid off and cover for a single. Another Free Hit loading...

 FOUR! He has picked the bones out of it!

 SIX! Goes all the way!
