8.2 overs (0 Run) OUT! Virat Kohli has taken a stunner! He roars in delight but Faf du Plessis asks the batsman to wait as he feels it touched the ground. Nothing on the replays though. It's a clean one, the opening stand has been broken. 86 needed off 70 balls. Coming to the delivery, it's nicely flighted and lands full around off, Ruturaj Gaikwad strides forward to play the inside-out shot probably but only manages to slice it towards backward point. It's dipping in front of the fielder but Virat Kohli reacts in time and dives forward to snap it inches above the surface. The umpires get it checked but as mentioned earlier, it's a clean catch. Can Bangalore capitalize on this breakthrough?
Is the catch cleanly taken? The umpires have gone upstairs but Kohli seems confident. The replay shows that it's a fair catch and Ruturaj Gaikwad has to depart.

Strategic Time-Out! The Chennai openers have plundered the bowling and have made a fast start. Both Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad seem to be confident out there. Virat Kohli has chopped and changed his bowlers in the Powerplay but hasn't found any respite. Bangalore shouldn't be too disheartened as we saw what happened in the first innings in the middle overs. Can the Bangalore bowlers pull up their socks and get back into the game?
5.6 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Bludgeoned. Navdeep Saini speeds in and serves a very full ball around off, Faf du Plessis stays back, clears his front leg and spanks it past the left side of the mid off fielder.
