Suresh Raina 19(21)
9.2
Moeen Ali to Raina, out Caught by Shivam Dube!! Just the slog now, the hurried one. But no, Raina's going nowhere with it. Steps down, swings, gets only off the inside half to a running across long-on. It's the false hope Bangalore are getting here. Raina c Shivam Dube b Moeen Ali 19(21) [4s-3]
9.1
Moeen Ali to Raina, FOUR, yup, the cheeky slice he's patented for himself. Goes back in deep, then makes room as well. And then waits, waits and waits some more for the slug-pitch to get the ball up there -- and carves it fine enough behind point
8.6
U Yadav to Rayudu, no run, full on the stumps, flicked straight to Kohli at mid-wicket
8.4
U Yadav to Rayudu, 1 run, veering into the pads, Rayudu gets inside the line and glances wide of fine leg
8.1
U Yadav to Raina, no run, I0$ back of a length delivery on leg stump, Raina tucks it off the pads to square leg
7.6
Moeen Ali to Raina, 1 run, lunges across, pushes the ball into the vacant space at cover for a strike-retaining single
7.5
Moeen Ali to Raina, no run, strides forward and blocks the flatter delivery down the pitch
7.4
Moeen Ali to Raina, no run, full and drifting down leg, Raina may have got a fine tickle on the boot en route to the keeper
7.3
Moeen Ali to Raina, FOUR, goes down on one knee and spanks the slogsweep from outside off through mid-wicket. I0$
7.2
Moeen Ali to Raina, FOUR, down the pitch, was nowhere close but still goes through with the lofted shot, the key here is that he hit it straight and that meant no trouble
7.1
Moeen Ali to Rayudu, 1 run, too full outside off and that means the spin can be smothered easily as Rayudu biffs a single down to long-off
6.5
Navdeep Saini to Raina, no run, hurries him with pace, Raina waits on the back foot and clips it towards square leg
6.4
Navdeep Saini to Rayudu, 1 run, full toss on off-stump, Rayudu drives it to the left of mid-off
6.2
Navdeep Saini to Raina, no run, attempts the short ball, but lack of pace on the surface means it stops a touch and clicks the splice as Raina hops back to defend
6.1
Navdeep Saini to Raina, no run, full and slanting away just outside off, Raina gets across and gently nudges to mid-wicket
5.6
Moeen Ali to Rayudu, no run, quicker and sliding in just outside off, Rayudu prods forward and blocks into the off-side
5.4
Moeen Ali to Rayudu, 1 run, slightly slower and turning in, Rayudu hangs back and works it into the mid-wicket pocket
4.5
Chahal to Rayudu, 1 run, legbreak slightly shorter in length and that enables Rayudu to tuck it off the back foot through mid-wicket
4.3
Chahal to Rayudu, 1 run, drops the ball on the on-side and hares across for a quick single, PP chases the ball and shies at the bowling end, only to miss by a good few inches. Rayudu would have been home anyway
2.5
Chahal to Rayudu, 1 run, a rare blip from AB in the field! Dives to his right at short cover and fails to gather the ball, all that after Rayudu drove it from leg-stump with a little bit of shimmy to the leg-side
2.2
Chahal to Raina, no run, huge appeal from PP behind the stumps, but Raina eked a thick inside edge onto pad on the forward defence. No signs of DRS from RCB and rightly so. Actually the impact was outside off and whether or not there was an inside edge, it would have gone in the favour of the batsman
