RR 50/7 (8 overs) vs RCB 171/5 | Scorecard

Parnell continues, bowls the final over of the powerplay. The powerplay has completely been dominated by the Challengers tonight. Two singles to begin the sixth over.

Huge appeal for LBW and it's given. Joe Root appeals, though out of desperation at this stage. And it's a Wicket! Joe Root falls. Third wicket for Parnell as Root departs for 10 off 15. Stellar over from Parnell as he concedes just two and picks up another wicket.

In the powerplay RR post 28/5.

Bracewell continues as he bowls the first over after the powerplay, a single to begin.

WICKET!! Another bites the dust as Dhruv Jurel departs for 1 off 7. Lomror takes a comfortable catch as Bracewell picks up his second. Royals reeling at 31/6 in seven overs.

R Ashwin the new man in. Karn Sharma comes into the attack, two dots to begin.

Three back-to-back SIXES!! Hetmyer hammers Karn over long-on for the first maximum of the over. The second one too is hammered over wide long and then he gets a third one on the trot! Much-needed over for the Royals. Hetmyer injecting some life into RR's chase.

RUN-OUT!! Anuj Rawat rescues RCB again as Hetmyer looks aghast as Ashwin departs without even facing a ball. RCB rejoice as RR lose their seventh!
