    1.5 kept low! Aravind has struck in his first over again! Smith was camping on his back foot against a good length ball. Plays the pull and in doing so was playing across the line. The ball sneaks under his inside edge and topples off. Arr-cee-bee are on their way. 9/1

    4.6 caught at long-off! That's the wicket Bangalore would have wanted desperately. Chahal puts his finger on the lips and asks everyone to shush. It was a tossed up delivery on off stump, McCullum looked for a six down the ground and doesn't get enough power behind it 37/2

    6.6 two in two for Jordan with a return catch! Lions are crumbling...Jadeja chipped the length ball straight back to the bowler and Jordan had to just raise his arms towards his right shoulder to grab that 44/4

    6.5 can you keep him out of action? AB has taken a pretty good catch running backwards! DK came down to loft that over the covers, don't think he middled that, and it quite high. AB ran back from extra cover and made it look easy, taking it comfortably too 44/3

    7.5 five down, Chahal traps DJ lbw! Bravo's feet were stuck in the crease as he played for the legspin, but the ball pitched around off and came in just a bit, from the back of the hand, and trapped him right in front. Easy decision, Lions going down here 47/5

    11.2 third one for Chahal, bowled'm! Straighter line from Chahal with some flight, looks like it was a premeditated sweep from Nath, who missed the ball completely and lost his middle stump 68/6

    12.1 that's the third for Jordan too, bowls PK! Fired in a full delivery at the stumps, PK wanted to put ti away to the leg side and only got an inside edge that went off his pad to the off stump 69/7

    12.5 drags it onto his stumps, Kulkarni as well. No. 4 for Jordan! It was a back of length ball outside off, Kulkarni didn't moves his feet while trying to chop that and got an edge onto his stumps 74/8

    18.4 that's it, two in two for Baby and RCB win by a whopping 144 runs! Slightly slower through the air as it turned towards leg, Kaushik wanted to work it to leg and got an edge to midwicket where Aravind leapt forward to take it with both hands 104/10
