RCB 77-1 (10 ovs) vs Royals 177-6

It's just singles at the moment for RCB with Royals resorting to a tight line and length.

Padikkal is beaten off the first two balls by Tewatia before he gets just one to long-off. Tewatia has overstepped but Kohli can get just a single off the free hit delivery, which was a full toss.

Tewatia struggles with his line as he sends down three wides in a row and Padikkal then gets one on the leg side.

Nine runs from the ninth over as RCB take their score to 64-1, with Padikkal on 27 and Kohli on 16.

Gopal, who has two overs in hand, is called back into the attack.

Padikkal clips the first ball for a single before Kohli comes down and hits it through the covers for another run.

A short ball is pulled to deep square leg for one by the left-hander and Kohli gets an inside edge trying to play the cut shot, for two runs to fine leg.

Kohli uses his feet to a flighted delivery and once again inside edges it to deep square leg for another couple of runs.

The last ball is short as Kohli finally gets a chance to release the pressure, pulling it over midwicket for a six and get 13 runs from the over.

At the halfway mark, RCB reach 77-1 in 10 overs, with 101 needed from 10 overs for victory.

Padikkal has adopted a steady approach to score 29 from as many balls, while Kohli has made 27 from 21 balls.
