Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Rajasthan Royals, Match 11, Bengaluru

K Khejroliya to Ben Stokes, Once again brilliant fielding! We saw Hyderabad were brilliant in the field yesterday and today Bangalore have been really good. Stokes gets a full toss on leg stump, he flicks it fine on the leg side. Woakes runs to his left, slides and he seems to have stopped it. They go upstairs to check and he has done just fine. Two runs. 15 from the over!

K Khejroliya to S Samson, DIRECT HIT NEEDED! Samson works this ball towards mid-wicket and sets off for a run. Negi there collects the ball and has a shy but misses. Had he hit, Samson was a goner.

K Khejroliya to Ben Stokes, SIX! This is even better! Stokes on the charge here. Short and on the body, too easy for Ben as he pulls it over the square leg fence and the ball clears the rope. So runs starting to come thick and fast here for Rajasthan.

K Khejroliya to Ben Stokes, Stokes has not found his timing here! He once again comes down the track and tries to cut it but gets a bottom edge to the keeper. Would have easily dragged it on.
