Run-out! Big wicket of Shahrukh for Bangalore!
Perfect yorker. Henriques digs it out perfectly. Shahrukh looks to take a quick run but Harshal quickly picks it up in his follow through and hits the stumps. Punjab in trouble. Need 17 off 4 balls
Shahrukh survives caught behind review!
Bangalore review for a caught behind. Nothing on ultra edge. SRK survives. Punjab need 20 off 7 balls!
Punjab require some big blows. Either Mayank or Markram need to get a move on here. Punjab 102/2 in 14 overs
Out! Pooran departs
Couple of wickets for Bangalore in the last three overs as they are getting right back into this game. Pooran disappoints once again playing a rash shot early in the innings. Punjab in a little bit of concern. Need 66 off 43 now!
