AB de Villiers 66(36)
18.5
Boult to de Grandhomme, 1 run, driven to deep extra-cover. Scores level
18.2
Boult to de Villiers, SIX, Boult has actually bowled a full toss way outside off stump, but that big back and across movement of de Villiers helps him easily time this kind of sweep shot over backward square leg. He's just awesome to watch
18.1
Boult to de Grandhomme, 1 run, full ball outside off stump, de Grandhomme hits this on the bounce to long-off
16.4
Boult to Sarfaraz Khan, 1 run, the yorker again, sqeezed out to long leg
16.2
Boult to Sarfaraz Khan, 1 run, opens the face of the bat and guides this short of length delivery to third man
15.5
Mishra to Mandeep, 1 run, advances and drives it to long-on, mistimed hit though
14.6
Junior Dala to Mandeep, no run, that was an attempted drive through cover, but he got an inside edge that rolled towards mid-wicket
13.4
Mishra to Mandeep, 1 run, spinning away outside off stump, Mandeep reaches out and slaps it to long-off
12.5
Harshal Patel to de Villiers, SIX, that's masterful! Masterful because he's picked this slower ball, waited and muscled the loft over long-on. Fifty for AB de Villiers as well. RCB fans would be delighted to see both AB and Kohli score fifties in the same innings. Part of the reason why they weren't clicking as a batting unit this season. Kohli is so happy for AB
12.4
Harshal Patel to de Villiers, FOUR, oh lovely. Third man is inside the ring and that is exactly why de Villiers wants to give himself a bit of room. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, de Villiers cracks the cut past backward point
12.3
Harshal Patel to de Villiers, no run, oh the under edge is found as de Villiers backs away and tries to guide this ball through the off-side, the ball misses the sticks and rolls back to the sticks
12.2
Harshal Patel to Kohli, 1 run, nudged to mid-wicket
11.5
Lamichhane to de Villiers, SIX, he's hit that in the airrr, not timed that well, there is a man at deep backward square leg, he jumps and it's evaded him. The length was just a bit too full, de Villiers got inside the line of this flighted delivery and slog-swept it over backward square leg
11.4
Lamichhane to Kohli, 1 run, shortish googly, Kohli pulls to deep square leg
11.2
Lamichhane to Kohli, 1 run, again short and allows Kohli to play off the back foot to mid-wicket, is getting turn so anything around the good length zone would be tough to hit. Kohli wanted two on that occasion, but the fielders were smart enough
10.6
Harshal Patel to Kohli, 2 runs, slower delivery outside off stump, Kohli cuts square of the wicket on the off-side
10.4
Harshal Patel to de Villiers, FOUR, cheeky! This guy is not all about power! Full ball and he's smartly moved across to scoop this over the infield with fine leg inside the ring
10.3
Harshal Patel to Kohli, 1 run, and now Harshal Patel hits Kohli with a throw. Kohli takes it with a smile. He tapped this to the left of the bowler and set off, Harshal Patel attacked the ball, turned around and had a go at the bowler's end
9.5
Mishra to de Villiers, SIX, that's the bowler getting greedy with the turn on offer and offering a freebie. Way too full, the length is still acceptable, but the line is way outside off stump, got to be closer to the sticks. AB just waited for it and smashed that lofted drive over extra-cover
9.4
Mishra to de Villiers, no run, slower and spinning away, de Villiers carefully works this to the right of the bowler, who stops the ball with a dive
9.3
Mishra to Kohli, 1 run, there's that Mishra quicker ball, landed very short, mistimed pull to long-on. Kohli reckons he should have smashed that over mid-wicket
9.1
Mishra to Kohli, 1 run, driven off the front foot past the diving fielder at cover as Mishra spins this away from the right-hander
8.4
Junior Dala to Kohli, 1 run, drilled to long-on
7.5
Mishra to de Villiers, SIX, okay, you have to learn! Got away with one previous ball bowling full, this time the line is outside off and allows de Villiers to swing his arms. Easily lofted over long-off and AB is pretty good with his timing, isn't he?
7.4
Mishra to Kohli, 1 run, that's way too full to trouble the batsman, worked away to long-on
7.2
Mishra to Kohli, 1 run, flat and short enough for Kohli to go back and tuck into the on-side towards long-on
6.6
Lamichhane to de Villiers, 1 run, sliding on the shorter side. A tappy drive, long-off
6.5
Lamichhane to Kohli, 1 run, deeper in the crease, one-bounced to long-on with his high elbowed punches
6.3
Lamichhane to Kohli, 1 run, quite off the inside half as he wrists it in front of square
5.5
Boult to Kohli, 1 run, a polite knock, wristily to long-on
5.1
Boult to Kohli, 1 run, from over the wicket to cramp Kohli up, bunted away off the body as he opens up a steer through the cordon
4.3
Harshal Patel to de Villiers, FOUR, his famed cut. Those four dots were always leading into this, doesn't try and go too hard, waits for the room dished out outside off get big and bisects mid-off and extra cover
4.2
Harshal Patel to de Villiers, no run, hard into the pitch, 143.6kph. But AB still doesn't have the pace he wants on it as he mistimes a forehand off the toe-end to mid-off
4.1
Harshal Patel to de Villiers, no run, 138.3kph. Length, middle-stumpish. Knocked to mid-on
3.6
Junior Dala to Kohli, 2 runs, nipping back in on the tummy. Turned away behind square
2.5
Lamichhane to de Villiers, no run, googly to welcome. And he's beaten AB's defence first up. Drifting outside off, gripping and spinning in onto his front pad as he makes sure it is outside the line of off in his defence
