RCB vs KKR Live | RCB Live Score 62/4 after 11 overs, Narine gets Willey

Brilliant throw here from Nitish Rana and equally brilliant work by Jackson to remove the bails quickly and even brilliant work from Willey to dive so fast and be saved by just two frames. All around its brilliant cricket

This has been a fine fine partnership from Willey and Rutherford as they have now added 45 off just 54 balls, in an exact manner as was required, and are now easily marching towards the target of 129

Wicket!! And just as I was saying that they are marching easily, Narine says, "Wait a second, let me get a wicket here" as he forcesWilley to play it in the air and Nitish Rana at short midwicket grabs it and sends Willey packing for 18. RCB now 62/4

10:18 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | RCB Live Score 59/3 after 10 overs, Quick hands from Jackson

Now Varun Chakravarthy comes in and he is bowling tight now after being hit for many runs in his first over

Four!! Commentators curse you can say as Chakravarthy once again bowls short for reasons unknown or may be known to him only and Willey ricks back and hits it past mid-wicket for four runs

And now Chakravarthy is erring here as he keeps bowling it down the leg

Wow..what was that? Bowls in the channels of middle and off and Sheldon Jackson has removed the bails in a flash and the umpire is forced to go upstairs. However, the ball neither nicked the bat nor the wicket, and Willey was in his crease only at the time of removal of bails so the batter is safe

10:08 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | RCB Live Score 52/3 after 08 overs, Rutherford-Willey get going

Four!! Very poor from Chakravarthy as he bowls this outside off and and provides width of David Willey to drive off the backfoot which he did and collected a four

Six!! This time around it was short and short is easy as Rutherford rocks back and hammers this towards the deep square leg boundary for a huge six

This has been a very expensive over from Chakravarthy as the 50 comes up for RCB

10:03 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | RCB Live Score 40/3 after 07 overs

And now Sunil Narine eventually comes into the attack and starts well, beating the outside edge of Sherfane Rutherford

Four runs come from this over as there was no help on offer for Narine who bowled it pretty straight

10:00 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | RCB Live Score 36/3 after 06 overs, Russell gives 11 runs

And we have Andre Russell into the attack and he is bowling it well as well as having given just one run off the first three balls and then bowls this wayward bouncer which goes for four runs as bye and one wide is added to it and suddenly all the pressure is released with five runs of 0 balls

Four!! And now the pressure is coming off as Russell bowls this short and outside off and Willey cuts this fiercely for four runs

Shreyas Iyer seems to have missed the trick here as he would have easily gone for either Sunil Narine or Varun Chakravarthy for this over. But he went for Russell who gave away 11 runs as RCB end the Powerplay at 36/3

RCB vs KKR Live | RCB Live Score 25/3 after 05 overs, Indeed we do Harsha

9:50 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | RCB Live Score 24/3 after 04 overs, Test lengths in ploy from Southee

It is Test cricket at the moment as Tim Southee bowls the length ball outside off and Sherfane Rutherford keeps leaving him.

This time around he comes close to the stums and tries to get in an in-swinger to the left-hander and still no run as Rutherford defends it well.

And a pull on the last ball would mean that Rutherford collects two runs as the fourth over ends and RCB are 24-3

9:48 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | RCB Live Score 22/3 after 03 overs, Game on indeed

9:43 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | RCB Live Score 17/3 after 2.1 overs, Umesh gets Kohli

Wicket!! And the wickets are on a falling spree as Umesh Yadav gets the ball talking and just short outside off and in the corridor of uncertainty from the Vidarbha pacer and Kohli goes feeling for it and edges it to Jackson who makes no mistake and RCB are three down for 17

9:41 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | RCB Live Score 17/2 after 02 overs, Southee strikes

After a great over from Umesh Yadav which saw the wicket fall down, Tim Southee, who can swing the ball very well is into the attack now. But so far in the first four balls, he has not been able to get some swing

Four!! In fact, forget the swing and enjoy this four over covers from Faf as he gets the scoreboard up and running

Wicket!! Swing and Southee, very dangerous combo this is and it is what it is from Southee as he gets the ball to move late and Faf, trying to nudge the ball towards the leg side, gets a leading edge and the ball is caught at Point and RCB lose two. du Plessis c Rahane b Southee for 5
