0.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Full ball, on middle, a hint of swing again. Rawat tries to loft it over mid off but the ball goes off the toe end of his bat and to mid off where Rahul charges forward and takes a good low catch. The replay shows the ball was dying but Rahul did really well to get his fingers underneath. Lucknow with an early breakthrough and they start the game on a high. 7/1

19.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Faf du Plessis walks back on 96. This is the second time in his Indian T20 League career that he perishes at 96. Back of a length, on the bodyline. Faf du Plessis stays back and pulls it to deep square leg. He does not connect it well and fails to get the desired distance on it. Marcus Stoinis makes no mistake in the deep this time. 181/6

1 OUT! TAKEN! Golden duck for Virat Kohli! Chameera is pumped up and there is nothing Kohli can do but walk back with his head down. Chameera hits the hard length and serves it outside off. Kohli could have left it but flashes his blade at it and hits it straight to point where Deepak Hooda takes it with ease. Dushmantha Chameera is on a Hat-trick but he will have to wait for a bit. 7/2

5.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Glenn Maxwell tries to be innovative but pays the price instead. It is tossed up, full and on off. Glenn Maxwell shuffles across and reverse-sweeps it to the left of short fine leg. Jason Holder who is stationed there moves to his left, puts in a full stretched dive and plucks the ball out of thin air with one hand. Incredible fielding. Glenn Maxwell trudges back to the pavilion. Bangalore lose three wickets inside the Powerplay. 44/3

7.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Jason Holder strikes only on his second delivery. Bangalore in a spot of bother. It is a full-length ball, angled into the pads. Suyash Prabhudessai comes down the track and tries to flick it to the leg side, but he was a tad early into his shot. The ball takes the splice of his blade and lobs towards short mid-wicket. Krunal Pandya stationed there takes a dolly. 62/4

15.2 OUT! RUN OUT! Shahbaz Ahmed runs himself out and he has to walk back to the pavilion now. A length ball, outside off. Faf du Plessis crunches it to cover, but straight at KL Rahul who is placed there. Shahbaz Ahmed ventures out looking for a single but was sent back by Faf du Plessis. KL Rahul throws the ball to Jason Holder who turns quickly to rid of the bails. The umpire takes it upstairs to confirm the run out. The replays show Shahbaz Ahmed did not have any part of the blade behind the crease when the bails were lit up. 132/5

2.5 OUT! CAUGHT AT SLIPS! Josh Hazlewood makes the new ball dance and gets the better of Quinton de Kock. A length ball, pitching on middle and leg, it leaves the batsman with some extra bounce as it is angled across the left-hander. Quinton de Kock goes flirting away from his body and ends up getting a thick outside edge. Dinesh Karthik looks to dive initially for the catch but then pulls out. Credit to Glenn Maxwell for staying focused as he takes a step to his right at first slip to pouch it comfortably. Bangalore get the early breakthrough they were looking for. 17/1

8 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A superb review from Bangalore and they have got the dangerous KL Rahul here. This is on a length and down the leg side. Rahul seems to miss his flick. An appeal for caught behind but nothing is given. Bangalore though are interested and challenge the decision. UltraEdge shows a spike as the ball passes the bat and KL Rahul will have to walk back. Actually, only Harshal Patel was putting up an appeal, even the keeper wasn't interested at all. Normally, you will see a keeper doing all the convincing part. 64/3

5 OUT! CAUGHT! Josh Hazlewood picks up his second wicket in the second over. Bangalore right on top at the moment. A short ball, on off. This one slows down a bit off the deck. Manish Pandey stays back and mistimes his pull towards mid-wicket. He hits it straight at the fielder and Harshal Patel gathers it comfortably. 33/2

13.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Glenn Maxwell has the last laugh. Krunal Pandya's valiant knock comes to an end. Touch short, on middle and leg. Krunal Pandya stays back and pulls it hard to deep mid-wicket. Shahbaz Ahmed takes a solid catch in the deep. 108/5

12.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Suyash Prabhudessai comes up with a stunning catch to break this stand. Back of a length, outside off. Deepak Hooda stands tall and goes for the upper cut. It flies off the outer half towards deep backward point. Suyash Prabhudessai sprints to his left and takes a great running catch. Mohammed Siraj picks up his first wicket. 100/4

16.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Josh Hazlewood strikes again! A full ball, outside off. Badoni shuffles across and looks to slog-sweep it but gets a faint edge and Dinesh Karthik, the keeper takes it. 135/6

18.2 OUT! BOWLED! Marcus Stoinis is livid himself, literally fuming as he walks back. This is full and outside off. Stoinis shuffles again to the off side and looks to whip it away but gets an inside edge and the ball ricochets onto the stumps. 148/7

19.5 OUT! TAKEN! Short and on middle. Holder looks to pull but it takes the leading edge and goes to fine leg. Siraj runs forward and slides to his left to take a sharp catch. 163/8
