Pune 115-3 (16 ovs) vs RCB | Scorecard

Binny comes back and Smith continues the flow of boundaries. The first ball is on the pads as Smith flicks it behind square for a four and then gets another boundary as he hits the next past point.

Smith tries to swing the fifth ball on the leg side but miscues it on the leg side as Milne does well to judge and complete a high catch. Smith walks back for 45 from 32 balls as Pune are reduced to 108 for three in the 14th over.

Negi ends his spell with another tidy over, giving away just two runs, including three dot balls in a row to Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The left-arm spinner finishes with wonderful figures of one for 18 in four overs.

The run rate has taken a sharp dip since Smith's departure with Dhoni taking his time to get his eye in and Tiwary cutting down on his strokes.

Badree builds the pressure with another tight over, conceding just four singles.

Pune are 115 for three in 16 overs, having scored just eight runs from 13 balls since Smith's dismissal.

They will need a few big overs to take themselves to around the 170-run mark./
