KKR 162-5 (17 ovs) vs RCB 176-7 | Scorecard

Rinku makes his intentions clear as he gives Woakes the charge and lofts him down the ground for a four before he is beaten trying to play the heave.

Rinku then has another wild swing but gets a thin edge and is caught behind for six. The on-field initially ruled it out before Kohli took the DRS and the UltraEdge showed that there was some edge.

KKR are 147 for five in 16 overs, needing 30 runs from four overs for victory.

Umesh comes back as Andre Russell heaves the first ball over midwicket for a six. The pacer immediately corrects his length and dishes out a barrage of short ball to the West Indian, who is struggling against the bouncers.

But strangely Umesh pitches one right up and Russell lofts it over mid-off and despite not getting it off the middle he pockets a boundary.

Russell all but settles the game with a powerful shot, clubbing Umesh's last ball over midwicket for a six.

Umesh has been hit for 15 runs in his final over as KKR are well in control now with 15 needed from three overs for victory.
