22:38 (IST)

After 11 overs,Lucknow Super Giants 88/3 ( Krunal Pandya 32 , Deepak Hooda 9)

Shahbaz continues. In the first ball, Hooda heaves a drive towards long-on, du Plessis does everything to save the boundary, even crashing onto the LCD ad hoardings. Du Plessis saves a couple of runs there, and he4 looks to be fine despite his outrageous effort. Hooda later narrowly escapes a stumping dismissal. RCB players are optimisitic and there's a look by the third umpire. Hooda went for the sweep but missed it completely, but by the narrowest of margins, Hooda just had his back foot grounded by the time the bails were lit. And he escapes!

He's punished in the first ball with Krunal collecting a boundary, smashing through extra cover, courtesy timing and placing it to perfection. In the last ball of the over, there's an appeal for caught behind against Rahul but is given not out. RCB review this one, and UltraEdge shows a spike and the verdict is OUT. This was going down leg side and replays showed the ball clearly made contact with the bat. Shahbaz delivers the ninth over and eight runs come from it, including a six from Krunal. Time for a strategic timeout. 

22:20 (IST)

OUT! KL Rahul is dismissed. Harshal Patel gets the big wicket of the LSG skipper. Originally given not out, RCB opt for the review for caught behind, and there's a spike on UltraEdge as the ball passes the bat. Decision reversed, in favour of RCB! Rahul c Karthik b Harshal Patel 30
