Right then, the Bangalore bowlers did their job really well to restrict Rajasthan to 149 and now it is time for their batters to chase this target down and grab a vital couple of points from this game. Can they do it? Or will Rajasthan put up a good fight to keep their hopes alive? To find out, do join us for the chase on the other side.

Shahbaz Ahmed is up for a quick chat. Says that the pitch is looking good and they were expecting a high-scoring game. Mentions that the ball is not turning much and they have done well to restrict Rajasthan to under 150. Informs that the ball is coming onto the bat nicely. Tells that they have to be prepared every time whether it is batting, bowling or fielding.

As mentioned earlier, Rajasthan were off to a blistering start, all thanks to their opening pair. But once they were sent back, no other batter rose to the occasion, and they lost their grip over the advantage. Evin Lewis flexed his muscles this evening and his stand with Yashasvi Jaiswal was the only substantial one that Rajasthan managed. Credit to Bangalore for pulling things back. Yuzvendra Chahal was brilliant with his spell along with Shahbaz Ahmed while Harshal Patel was once again among the wickets.

What a great fall for Rajasthan! They were roaring at one stage and had reached 100/1 at the end of 11 overs but from thereon, their innings nosedived completely. Plenty of reckless shots and they have themselves to blame for this situation.

19.6 overs (0 Run) OUT! Wicket number 3 in the match for Harshal Patel. Bangalore have finished very strongly here. Back of a length, outside off, Chetan Sakariya tries to pull but it takes the toe end of the bat and flies towards long on. Yet again a simple catch for AB de Villiers in the deep. Rajasthan end on 149/9!

Is that a run out? The umpire takes it upstairs to confirm. The replays roll in to confirm that Chetan Sakariya had his bat grounded inside the crease. He is safe.

19.5 overs (2 Runs) NOT OUT! A low full toss on middle, Chetan Sakariya whips it to deep square leg. He pushes hard for the second run. Devdutt Padikkal quickly collects the ball and throws it straight to Srikar Bharat who whips the bails off. A run out appeal is sent upstairs. Replay shows that Chetan Sakariya's dive has saved him. Two runs.

19.4 overs (1 Run) A low full toss, on middle, Kartik Tyagi clips it through mid-wicket for a single. No hat-trick for Harshal Patel but he has certainly made his presence felt.

Kartik Tyagi walks out at number 10.

19.3 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! WHAT A CATCH! Fuller ball, outside off. Chris Morris slices it hard towards wide of deep cover. The ball was travelling so fast. Devdutt Padikkal runs to his right and dives in the air to take a magnificent catch. He plucks a stunner out of thin air and Harshal Patel is on a hat-trick once again. Can he get another one?

Who will walk out next? It is Chetan Sakariya.

19.2 overs (0 Run) OUT! TAKEN! Wicket number 24 for Harshal Patel in this season. Fuller in length, on middle. Riyan Parag lifts it off the bottom half of the bat towards extra cover.

18.3 overs (0 Run) Is that a catch? No, but what an effort from Virat Kohli! This is the hallmark of a great athlete. Mohammed Siraj bowls a fullish ball, on off. Chris Morris makes room and hits it firmly towards extra cover where Virat Kohli dives across to his right and stops the ball on a bounce. He quickly collects it and throws the ball back to the keeper. Certainly saves a boundary for his team.

16.4 overs (0 Run) A googly on leg, Riyan Parag looks to tuck it on the leg side but misses. He gets hit on the pads. An appeal from Yuzvendra Chahal for an LBW but turned down by the umpire. Chahal and Kohli have a chat regarding the review but they do not take it.

A flighted delivery, full and outside off, spinning away, Livingstone goes down on one knee to smoke it over the leg side but ends up hitting it aerially to long on. A simple catch for AB de Villiers in the deep and Rajasthan continue to slip. Yuzvendra Chahal has been a completely different bowler in the UAE.
