9.6 overs (1 Run) Short this time, outside off, Liam Livingstone rocks back and slaps it to deep cover for one. Just 4 runs from the over along with the big wicket of Jonny Bairstow. At the halfway mark, Punjab are 105/3!
9.5 overs (1 Run) Too full and on middle, Mayank leans forward and strokes it down to long off for a single.
9.4 overs (0 Run) Nearly drags it on! Perhaps the arm ball, full and around off, Mayank tries to drive but gets an inside edge on the right boot.
9.3 overs (1 Run) Eases a full ball to long off for a single.
9.2 overs (1 Run) Forces a full ball down to long on for a run.

9.1 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! A wicket immediately after the break, keeps happening every time. The break just disturbs the tempo. Shahbaz Ahmed has hunted down the danger man. Serves it full and around off, Jonny Bairstow advances down the track for a big shot but only manages to slice it off the outer edge to backward point. Two fielders converge and Mohammed Siraj takes the catch. End of a very entertaining knock from the Englishman and it's important here for Punjab to not lose the momentum.
Strategic Break! Punjab are scoring at a very quick rate but runs have slightly dropped down since the end of the Powerplay. They have two power-hitters in the middle and 200 should be on their mind from hereon. Bangalore have done well to calm things down, through their spinners. Even the luck is not favouring them but they will hope to get the current batters out of here quickly.
8.6 overs (1 Run) Jumps down the track to a full ball and nudges it to deep mid-wicket for a run. Two miserly overs from Wanindu Hasaranga.
8.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Streaky! Full and flighted, around off and turning back in, Jonny Bairstow wears his skates and tries to heave it over the leg side. But it takes the inside edge, beats the stumps and races behind to fine leg for a boundary. 100 up!
8.4 overs (0 Run) Shout for an lbw! Not given. Floated delivery, full and around middle, Jonny Bairstow walks down the track but fails to flick. He is hit on the pads but the umpire turns down the appeal.

7.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Bang! Very full, around leg, Liam Livingstone uses his feet and clubs it down the ground for a boundary at long on.
7.3 overs (2 Runs) Wonderful bowling! Shahbaz Ahmed senses the charge from the batter and dishes it out full and wide outside off. Liam Livingstone chases and drags it off the inner edge. Luckily for him, it beats the stumps and goes past the keeper. Two runs.

6.5 overs (0 Run) Flighted and full, around off, driven to covers.

6.4 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! Wanindu Hasaranga wins the battle of the Lankans. Flights this one up and lands it full and outside off, Bhanuka Rajapaksa finds the room to free his arms and attempts to go inside-out over the cover region. But the ball spins away to take the outside edge and Harshal Patel takes a decent catch at short third man. Bangalore will need to keep chipping away at the wickets as Punjab bat deep and have some dangerous batters in their ranks.
6.3 overs (1 Run) Loopy and full, around off, Jonny uses his feet and drills it down to long on for one.
6.2 overs (1 Run) Drags his length short, around off, Bhanuka Rajapaksa goes back and pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a run.

Change in bowling! Wanindu Hasaranga is into the attack.
5.6 overs (6 Runs) SIX! A flat hit! Back of a length, around off, Jonny Bairstow camps back and muscles it in front of square on the leg side. Yet another biggie from the bat of Jonny and Punjab have raced to 83/1 in the Powerplay - the best score by any team this season!
5.5 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Flicked away in style to reach his 9th fifty in the Indian T20 League, off just 21 balls. Fuller in length, around leg, Jonny Bairstow picks it off his pads and effortlessly dismisses it over square leg.

5.1 overs (4 Runs) SAFE! And it's FOUR! Siraj comes up with a cracking yorker, around middle and leg, Bairstow tries to dig it out but misses and is hit on the back leg. The ball deflects towards third man and finds the fence. There is an appeal but the finger stays down. Faf du Plessis has decided to review the decision. The third umpire is having a look. UltraEdge takes some time to load and then shows that there is an inside edge. Jonny is safe and he gets FOUR!
