Dilshan tried to hit Dinda and was out caught behind for nought !

Virat Kohli hit Dinda for two fours and in the next over of Irfan, hit him for four fours ! Magnificent batting by the Indian No 4! He is now 25 not out off just 10 balls.

Gayle pulls Hopes for four and then in trying to repeat the shot holes out to V Rao and RCB are 85/2.

Virat Kohli drives for a couple, Dave Warner throws down the stumps with a direct hit and Villiers is run out for 5. Now S Tiwari has joined the in form Kohli, who has hit six fours and two sixes.

Kohli is now clean bowled by Morkel. What a turn around. RCB were sailing smoothly. Now Gayle, Kohli and Villiers are all gone ! 65 runs required from 65 balls and RCB are 96/4.

Pujara lofts the spinner Nagar into the hands of Warner and RCB are 107/5.

The way the game changed was incredible. Gayle and Kohli were going great guns when Gayle was dismissed. Then Villiers was run out by an incredible throw from the deep from Warner which hit the stumps ! Kohli, who was poetry in motion, was clean bowled by Morkel and Pujara was consumed by Warner !
