Live Cricket Score, Bangalore vs Punjab, Match 42 Live: RCB 70/1 in 6 over vs KXIP

* Akshdeep Nath is the new man in.

20.42 IST: OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Ravichandran Ashwin strikes now. The Ashwins are turning the game on its head. All of a sudden, Bangalore are in a spot of bother. Top nut this. It is the straighter one which drifts nicely into the batsman from outside off. Moeen looks to push it away but leaves a big gap between bat and pad. Ashwin removes Moeen for 4. Royal Challengers Bangalore 76/3 in 7.3 overs

20.40 IST: Murugan Ashwin to Moeen Ali, EDGY FOUR! Poor captaincy to be honest, a new batsman, you should surely have a slip in place. There isn't and Ali benefits. This is tossed up outside off. Ali looks to drive it through the off side but the ball flies through the vacant first slip region and for a boundary. RCB 74/2 in 7 overs

20.36 IST: OUT! Leading edge and taken! The bowling change has worked wonders. Parthiv can't believe it as he stands there in disbelief. He does not want to go but has to. An important wicket as Patel was looking very dangerous. Murugan removes Parthiv for 43. Royal Challengers Bangalore 71/2 in 6.2 overs

20.32 IST: SIX! Parthiv is just oozing class here. 4,4,0,4,6! Parthiv is in some touch here. Another excellent shot. Shami rolls his arm over and bowls it on the stumps. Parthiv plays the pick up shot and sends it sailing over the mid-wicket fence. RCB 70/1 in 5.5 overs

20.31 IST: FOUR! Over the covers and Parthiv is enjoying himself out there. Not learning are the Punjab pacers here. They are offering width to Parthiv and he is loving it. Once again, he eases it over covers and with no fielder in the deep, it is a certain boundary. RCB 64/1 in 5.4 overs

20.29 IST: FOUR! Classy stroke there by Parthiv. Up and over! Ideal start to the 6th over. Length and around off, Patel stands still and powers it over the fielder at mid off. RCB 56/1 in 5.1 overs

20.27 IST: Rajpoot to Parthiv, SIX! WOW! Beauty produced by Parthiv. All the way! What a shot! Slower one and on a fuller length, Patel picks it and sends it sailing over the long off fence. First of the game. RCB 51/1 in 4.4 overs

20.26 IST: Ankit Rajpoot to AB de Villiers, Three now! Should not have been three runs though. Rajpoot bowls it full and on off, de Villiers drives it towards cover. There are two fielders after the ball. One from the left and the other from the right. The man in the former position dives but fails to stop it cleanly. He deflects it past the fielder coming in from the right. He though does well to hare after it and save a run for his side.

20.25 IST: FOUR! Not middled but a boundary! Short and it skids through. De Villiers looks to pull but does not get it off the middle and it races to the mid-wicket fence. RCB 42/1 in 4.2 overs

20.22 IST: Mohammed Shami to AB de Villiers, Almost chops it on! It so easily could have been two-in-two for Punjab. This is slightly short and outside off, not a lot of width on offer. De Villiers goes for the cut but the shot was not on. He gets an under edge which goes close past the off pole and on the bounce to the keeper.

* AB de Villiers walks out to bat.

20.20 IST: OUT! In the air... taken! Stunned silence here in the stadium as Kohli is walking back. Hardus Viljoen will be a relieved man as the dropped catch has not cost a lot. Shami gets his man. He bowls it on a length and around off. Kohli looks to go over covers but the bat shakes in his hand. He mistimes it towards cover where Mandeep Singh takes a dolly. A much-needed wicket for the visitors. The high-flying opening partnership has been cut short. Now Punjab will look to pull things back a little. Shami removes Kohli for 13. Royal Challengers Bangalore 35/1 in 3.1 overs

20.13 IST: NO BALL! Free hit given! A bad start for Punjab so far. Rajpoot has overstepped! He bowls it wide outside off, Parthiv throws his bat at it but misses. Free Hit coming up. RCB 32/0 in 2.2 overs

20.12 IST: FOUR! In the gap and a one bounce boundary. Parthiv has scored all his runs in boundaries so far. This is slightly short and on the body, he swivels and pulls it uppishly but away from fine leg. RCB 31/0 in 2.1 overs

20.08 IST: FOUR! Bangalore are dealing in boundaries here! Easy pickings this for Parthiv. It is bowled on the pads, he uses his wrists and flicks it fine on the leg side. Third boundary in the over. RCB 25/0 in 1.5 overs

20.07 IST: FOUR! Shami taken for a ride by the RCB skipper here. Consecutive boundaries for Kohli now. This is just elegant. Not a very bad delivery. It is just behind a length around off, Kohli shuffles across and then just pushes it through extra cover. Once you beat the in-field the ball races away here. RCB 20/0 in 1.3 overs

20.06 IST: FOUR! Rubbing salt to the wound! Dropped on the last ball and now a cracking boundary. Full and on off, Kohli stands tall and guides it through point. No stopping those. RCB 16/0 in 1.2 overs

20.05 IST: Mohammed Shami to Virat Kohli, DROPPED! Hardus Viljoen has dropped Virat Kohli and that is a sitter, an absolute sitter. You should be catching those. Not the best of deliveries though from Shami. He bowls it on the pads. Kohli flicks it right off the middle but uppishly and straight to mid-wicket. Viljoen there spills it. Shami is not happy and rightly so. This could prove very, very costly.

20.01 IST: FOUR! Straight down the ground! Consecutive boundaries and this is even better than the first one. Rajpoot bowls this just behind a driving length on off. Patel smashes it through mid off and the ball races away to the fence. RCB 8/0 in 0.3 overs

20.01 IST: FOUR! And Parthiv's off the mark in style. First boundary and cut brilliantly. Slashes and that has flown away! Bangalore are underway in style. Length and width on offer outside off, Patel pounces on it. He hits it through point and the ball races away. RCB 4/0 in 0.2 overs

20.00 IST: We are all set for the action to begin! The Punjab players are in a huddle and in a meantime, the Bangalore openers, Parthiv Patel and Virat Kohli walk out to the middle. Amkit Rajpoot to bowl the first over. Let's get started!

Brief Preview: Belatedly getting into the groove with back-to-back victories, Royal Challengers Bangalore would look to continue the momentum when they take on Kings XI Punjab in an IPL match on Wednesday. RCB must be all fired up after posting one-run win over a formidable Chennai Super Kings and would be desperate to keep the juggernaut rolling. Having survived a brutal assault at the hands of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the last game, they should have gained some confidence. (READ FULL PREVIEW HERE)
