Jaydev Unadkat returns for his second, and Salt begins with a pull to deep square for a single. Kohli is in no mood to slow down - smashes a boundary with utter disdain, then rotates strike with a quick single. A bouncer sails too high and is rightly called a wide.
Salt joins the party with a crisp boundary to bring up RCB's 50 in style. Two more singles round out the over.
After 5 overs, RCB are off to a flier at 55 for no loss.
Ehsan Malinga is introduced, and Kohli greets him with a monster six - that flew! A single follows to keep the strike rotating. Salt cashes in on a full delivery and drills it for four. He mistimes a full toss next, no run. But he makes up for it immediately - launches the next ball over the ropes! Dot to finish, but the damage is done.
17 runs off the over. After 6 overs, RCB are cruising at 72 for no loss.
They now need 160 from 84 balls. Timeout called.
