Steyn drops short as Watson pulls it for a boundary through midwicket before the pacer gets revenge.

Watson chases a wide delivery as he gets the edge and is caught at first slip for five.

Steyn strikes again as Suresh Raina is beaten all ends up by the yorker and is bowled for a first-ball duck.

A sensational start from Steyn as he brings RCB back into the contest with the two wickets in the very first over.

The young Navdeep Saini from the other end. A watchful du Plessis defends the first two balls before taking a single on the leg side and Ambati Rayudyu sees out the rest of the over.
