Prabhsimran follows with a thick edge off a full delivery, sending it racing past short third for another four. The boundaries are flowing.

Krunal Pandya's move proves successful for RCB as he removes Priyansh Arya! Bowling from around the wicket, Pandya slants it across the left-hander. Arya attempts to slog across the line, but the ball slides through with the angle, catching the outside half of the bat. It balloons up, and Tim David at mid-off takes an easy catch.

Marco Jansen nearly found himself in trouble again! He pushed a full delivery on off-stump towards mid-off and hesitated, while Shashank Singh had already taken a few steps down the pitch. Patidar swooped in and fired a quick throw, had it been a direct hit, it might’ve been curtains.
