9.35pm Sixty-five runs off the final 5.5 overs, and Daredevils have put up a competitive total. It didn't look like that at one stage - after the openers and Iyer fell early - but Rishabh Pant, and the debutant Abhishek Sharma tonked the ball to all parts to give their bowlers something to defend. How will RCB respond? We'll find out in ten minutes.

swarooprsj: "DD ended up scoring same as their previous match. Hope they don't end up bowling the same way as previous"

Aatish: "I'm sorry but no matter how moving the story of Siraj's origin is, he has not been great for RCB apart from that one game against Mumbai. "

Brutus_Shylock: "Abhishek Sharma's knock is one many of us would have dreamt of playing in our childhood, while we were still youngsters with great ambitions of playing cricket at higher level. A team full of superstars, needs a performer and a lad comes on debut,setting the stage on fire. Bravo!"

Abhay: "Please correct me if I am wrong Cricinfo profile of Abhishek Sharma says he's a bowler!! Are you sure about that.." -- Left-arm spinning allrounder

Mohammed Siraj to Shankar, 1 run, full on off, and that's been driven over Siraj's head! It's a great shot, but long off manages to cut it off. Only a single, and Daredevils finish on 181 for 4!
