End of Powerplay! RCB will be the happier of the two teams at the end of field restrictions but need to continue to exert pressure. However, after the early loss of the wicket, Kane Williamson and Jason Roy have done well to score at a decent rate and will now be aiming to build on their partnership.

Wicket! Abhishek Sharma's poor run of form with the bat continues as he is once again dismissed for cheap. George Garton gets his first wicket of the game as RCB register their first wicket in the powerplay of the UAE leg.
