9.47 pm Thank you, Deiva. It'll be quite the task for RCB's bowler to defend 167. Tim Southee with the new ball. Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav to open.
Naman: "The stage is set for JP Duminy... He like these kind of situation where chasing average total and slow wicket... He can build those important partnership.."
Hardik Toke: "For a change, Rohit Sharma's post match comments will be: We gave away 15-20 runs extra"
Sudesha Shetty: "Spin could prove difficult in the second innings, so this game is well and truly in the balance!"
9.30pm The 24-run last over has given the RCB bowlers something to bowl at. "The wicket is getting slower and slower," says Bumrah. "We did not expect it to be so slow. " A couple of sixes at the end, a little too much, but that's fine. The wicket is sticky and it's difficult to go over mid-on and mid-off. I got to hear from the dugout that Kohli was out. I did not hear anything and the keeper did not hear anything. This is a challenging wicket but we back ourselves to chase this down. That's it from me. Sreshth will take over for the chase.
James: ""RCB need Kohli and Mandeep to launch after this time-out". Hmm. 14/4 off 17 balls isn't my idea of launching."
