5.40pm The returning AB de Villiers and captain Virat Kohli gone in successive overs. That was the story of RCB's innings. Parthiv Patel hit a Jekyll-Hyde fifty upfront, and Sixer Southee cracked an unbeaten 36 at the fag end of the innings, to add some respectability to the scorecard. Jadeja found some bowling form for CSK, finishing with 3 for 18 in his four overs. This after he had dropped two catches off two balls against KKR. Having limited RCB to 127, CSK have an opportunity to chase the target down quickly and bump their net run rate. Will they send Willey to open with Watson?

"Last night, the draw for the AFC Asian Cup took place, with India being picked alongside UAE, Thailand and Bahrain in Group A. Just how far can India go in this tournament?"

Jadeja: Very happy, the wicket was a bit dry and I was just enjoying my bowling. Actually, it was my first ball, and I was not ready to celebrate. Virat's wicket a huge wicket, and I just wanted to keep up the momentum. Bowling with Harbhajan helped, he was also helping in right areas. We bowled as a pair and that was what we required. We don't need to worry about the batting too much.

Bravo to Mohammed Siraj, 1 run, OUT, Siraj run out off the last ball? Indeed. Such fast hands from Dhoni, again. Full-toss on off, Siraj loses his shape and splices it down to long-on. It's the last ball, and he has to come back for the second. He finishes second to Dhoni in that race

Bravo to Southee, no run, Chaos in Pune. Siraj is in pain. Man down. This was an accurate yorker on middle from DJ, Southee jabs his bat down hurriedly and inside-edges it behind to Ngidi at short fine leg. Siraj hares across for a single, Southee sends him back as he wants to keep strike. Siraj turns and that's when he collapses. The throw from Ngidi is awry again. Soars over Bravo, and Siraj comes across to the non-striker's end
